I submit that a hidden enemy within the camp is more dangerous than is an uniformed enemy outside the camp. I believe that a known, identifiable adversary is much preferred over one that has successfully penetrated the ranks of friends. Therefore, Benedict Arnold was a much greater threat to America's fight for independence than was Lord Cornwallis.

In the same fashion, politicians who cloak themselves in the garb of conservatism, but who clandestinely share the mind and philosophy of liberalism, are a greater threat to the independence and freedom of our nation than those who are openly liberal.

Without the assistance of clandestine liberals within the Republican Party, Bill Clinton would not be in office today. Without the assistance from these same Republicans, many of Clinton's socialistic, New World Order goals could never have materialized.

Two of Clinton's top priorities for his final year in office are the passage of permanent MFN for Communist China and the passage of "hate crimes" legislation favoring homosexuality. Permanent MFN for China passed both houses of Congress, thanks mostly to New World Order Republicans. His "hate crimes" legislation is on the verge of being passed with the aid and assistance of these same phony conservatives.

In fact, it is doubtful that the "hate crimes" bill would have passed the House without the help of Republican Representative, Bill McCollum of Florida. Now McCollum and the Republican leadership have quietly affixed the "hate crimes" bill to a Defense Department spending bill, trying to covertly sneak it through Congress.

Many conservative and libertarian groups fear that this "hate crimes" legislation is nothing less than the precursor for Orwellian-style tyranny. The next step for this type of legislation is to jail preachers who proclaim homosexuality to be sinful or immoral. It is a small step from "hate crimes" to "hate speech." Another possible application of this legislation would be to require pastors to unite homosexual couples or force employers (including churches) to hire homosexuals.

From the beginning of his presidency, Clinton has been aided and abetted by these liberal wolves in conservative clothes. It was Republicans that helped Clinton pass NAFTA & GATT. It was Republicans that helped Clinton spend more tax dollars than any Congress since the one led by "Tip" O'Neal. It was the Republican leadership that sold out the US Constitution and rule of law by deliberately choosing not to remove Clinton from office. It has been Republicans who have been the most outspoken proponents of granting the murderous regime of Communist China permanent MFN. It is these Benedict Arnold type Republicans that are attempting to pass this draconian "hate crimes" legislation.

It is my belief that these sissified, weak-kneed, pusillanimous Republicans are a greater threat to America's freedom and independence than are the in-your-face socialists within the Democratic Party. With Democrats, we at least know what we are dealing with; our adversaries are easily identified. With Republicans at the helm, the Town Crier assures us that "all is well," when in fact our liberties are being stolen out from under us while we sleep.
