Marilynn,
You are totally correct. That which we fear and dwell upon will come to
pass.
Hate groups know this and use it as a lever to increase their numbers.
The idea of a peaceful rally/party on the other side of town is right
on.
It won't get much coverage but the good vibes created do radiate and
counteract
those from the other dark rally. And the peace inspired in the participants
will stick and grow.
An idea that needs to be promoted here in the USA is that peace is
patriotic. Making war, the Patriot Act, tapping our phones, are harmful
to our democracy, that which remains. And all of these are decidely
un-patriotic. I guess the neo-nazis love those neo-cons. The difference,
if any, is hard for me to see. Neo-cons might say that they're Christians
and neo-nazis aren't. That's not true, since real followers of Christ would
never do what they've (the neo-cons) done to the world & the USA.
Namaste, D. Mindock

>> Neo-Nazis say they're coming to Danbury
>> By Elizabeth Putnam THE NEWS-TIMES
>> The News-Times/Wendy Carlson
>> Local clergy members Richard Kendall, left, Frank Caporale, Bob Cutting
>>and Greg Russo will rally on the Danbury Green Tuesday against separation
>>of church and state.
>>A rally calling for an end to the separation of church and state is
>>expected to draw hundreds to downtown Danbury on Tuesday, including
>>members
>>of a neo-Nazi group who plan to wear swastikas on their black jackets.
>>Minutemen United, an Ohio-based Christian organization, is holding the
>>rally Tuesday afternoon, because "the wall between the separation of
>>church
>>and state must be torn down," the group's leader and founder Dave
>>Daubenmire said Wednesday. Minutemen United expects up to 300 people at
>>the event on the Danbury Green, but that number could increase as word of
>>the rally spreads. Members of other organizations that advocate unity
>>between religion and government say they plan to attend. The Grey
>>Wolves,
>>a Northeast-based white supremacist group loosely affiliated with the
>>Christian Identity Movement, will bring three busloads of people to the
>>rally, Rick Renage, Grey Wolves spokesman, said Wednesday. Renage read
>>about the rally at NewsTimesLive.com, The
>> News-Times' Web site, which posted information Wednesday afternoon about
>>the event. "We just want to show our solidarity with the churches who
>>are
>>sponsoring this activity," Renage said. The Southern Poverty Law Center,
>>a civil rights organization known for its battles with white supremacists
>>and its tracking of extremist groups across the country, could not confirm
>>whether the Grey Wolves is a hate group. Still, Frank Caporale, a
>>non-denominational Christian from Danbury who is helping to organize the
>>rally, told Renage not to attend. "This is not a demonstration. This is
>>a
>>solemn assembly," Caporale said. "This is religious, not political. I want
>>people from all walks of life to feel comfortable attending." Renage
>>said
>>his group will not cause any trouble. "I, personally, am not looking for
>>any confrontations, but if we are provoked, we will react very strongly,"
>>he said in an e-mail to The News-Times. Danbury Police Detective Lt. Tom
>>Michael said he would
>> have more information today about how the police department will handle
>>the rally. The Rev. Bob Cutting, pastor of Mountain Church of God in
>>Brookfield and member of Minutemen United, said he was not aware of the
>>Grey Wolves' participation, but he said all are welcome as long as they do
>>not bring signs. "It's open to the public. We just don't want any
>>disruption," Cutting said. "This is about the separation of church and
>>state." Dozens of church-state issues test the bounds of the First
>>Amendment every year. There is raging debate over whether government
>>vouchers should be used to pay for parochial school tuition and whether
>>students can pray or study Biblical theories of man's creation in public
>>schools. President Bush has sparked controversy over whether the
>>government should provide funding for faith-based social service
>>organizations. Some Christian public officials have butted heads with the
>>courts over the posting of the Ten Commandments in government
>> buildings. Daubenmire said he wanted to spotlight these issues and
>>decided to hold a rally in Danbury because of the city's historical
>>significance. After the Revolutionary War, local government still had
>>Congregationalist preachers on the payroll. In protest, the Danbury
>>Baptist
>>Association wrote a letter in 1801 to then-President Thomas Jefferson
>>asking him to help, said Bob Young, a researcher at the Danbury Historical
>>Society who helped Daubenmire study the city's history. In response,
>>Jefferson wrote a letter that included the phrase "wall of separation
>>between church and state." "Jefferson's intent was never to keep God out
>>of government," said Daubenmire, who picked Tuesday for the rally because
>>it's the 231st anniversary of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride.
>>Jefferson's intentions and what the Founding Fathers saw for the new
>>nation
>>is the subject of much debate and the topic of many books. Western
>>Connecticut State University President James W.
>> Schmotter, who has a doctorate in history from Northwestern University,
>>said the Founding Fathers intended to keep government and religion
>>separate. "Jefferson and the Founding Fathers were really all about
>>compromise and balance when creating the Constitution," Schmotter said.
>>To say the Founding Fathers wanted to keep church and state as one is a
>>misinterpretation of history, he added. Contact Elizabeth Putnam at
