What’s so bad about Benedict?

By Chuck Baldwin

I submit that a hidden enemy within the camp is more dangerous than a
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 Most Favored Nation status 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 Rep. 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 and GATT. It was
Republicans that helped Clinton spend more tax dollars than any Congress
since the one led by Tip O’Neill. It was the Republican leadership that
sold out the U.S. Constitution and rule of law by deliberately choosing
not to remove Clinton from office. Republicans 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.
