| 'Gay' McDonald's Prompts Boycott No longer the McDonald's many grew up with. The American Family Association, whose earlier boycott of Ford Motor Co. over its promotion of homosexuality was dropped after company sales fell 8 percent per month for two years, now is asking consumers to stop buying Big Macs and Happy Meals at McDonald's. In a brief announcement today, AFA, whose constituents number in the millions, said it is "asking its supporters to boycott the restaurant chain." ** "This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals, or homosexuals eating at McDonald's or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, choosing to put the full weight of their organization behind promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage," said AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon. |

| The Loss of Independence We are as dependent on foreign borrowing as we are on foreign oil. Not until a year after Lexington did the Continental Congress muster the resolve to declare the 13 colonies free and independent states, no longer subject to Parliament or Crown. Not for five years after July 4, 1776, did George Washington's army truly attain America's independence at Yorktown. Even then, Washington and his aide Alexander Hamilton knew that the 13 states, while politically independent, were dependent upon Europe for the necessities of their national life. Without French ships and guns, French muskets and troops, the Americans could not have forced Gen. Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown. Cornwallis would have sailed away, as Gen. Howe had from Boston. Indeed, absent the 1778 alliance with France, our Revolution would have been a longer bloodier affair and might not have succeeded. |

| Black AIDS Once again, the so-called "extremists" were right. Avoid AIDS. At Spruce Street Baptist Church, 1 of Nashville's oldest and most established predominantly African-American congregations, the Rev. Raymond Bowman showed his congregation how easy it was to take an HIV test. He just opened his mouth and swabbed. The church and 26 other predominantly African-American churches around Nashville participated in free HIV testing in June to show the need for every adult to know their status. It's part of a Metro Nashville Health Department effort to harness the power and influence of black churches to slow the spread of HIV. While only 13% of the U.S. population is black, black men and women account for more than 49% of AIDS cases. (Source) |

| Imagine a National White Republican Association The hypocrisy continues...and we let it. But for how much longer? Everybody knows that black musicians can publish music calling for the rape and murder of white people with impunity; but the slightest notion of ethnic pride among white folks is severely punished. Everybody knows that black churches like the Trinity United Church of Christ can maintain full tax-exempt status and subsidization while actively encouraging political activism and putting forth both a positive pro-black racial message and a strong anti-white message. But can you imagine the treatment that a similar explicitly and proudly WHITE church would have to endure? When a black man kills a white man, it hardly makes a blip on the news; but on those rare occasions when it is the other way around the media spectacle lasts for weeks. There are scholarships -- just for blacks. So far the only scholarships in existence just for whites are too small to be notable. Blacks get special bonuses on civil service exams that allow them to be promoted over white folks who have better qualifications. But the biggest difference really comes down to the fact that a black man can speak his mind about racial matters, and a white man cannot. |

| Who Planned the Anthrax Attacks? Hatfill's exoneration raises the question: if he didn't mail the anthrax letters, then who did? You remember the anthrax attacks– or do you? It often seems, to me at least, that this important catalyst for the invasion of Iraq and our supremely wrong-headed post-9/11 foreign policy has been flushed down the collective memory hole. For all the attention that's been paid to that spooky chapter in the history of the "war on terrorism" in the intervening years, it may as well have never occurred. That's why news of the former prime suspect's ultimate vindication – and his victory in a $5.8 million lawsuit in which he accused the feds of unfairly targeting him as a "person of interest" (as John Ashcroft put it) – seems like a visitation from another time, the ghost of 9/11 past, haunting and mocking us. It sends chills down my spine – because, you see, the real culprits are still out there. |

| Apathy and Ignorance... ...On full display It seems a question addressing the very real issue of race was recently posted (author unknown) in Yahoo! Answers in an open question forum. To no one's surprise the thread was removed by Yahoo!, but was cached by Google. The responses that follow a sincere-sounding question are "enlightening," to say the least. |

| Declaring Your Independence by John Young <br /> <br />Audio version <br /> <br />Welcome to Western Voices. I'm John Young of European Americans United. <br /> <br />A few weeks back, my friend and colleague Frank Roman created a pod cast entitled "Sphere of Influence" in which he explored what Noam Chomsky calls manufactured consent. This concept bears further examination because Frank also pointed out something incredibly important: that the status quo depends upon our participation for its perpetuation. Rather than paraphrase, here is the direct quote: <br /> <br />"Living under a tyranny of what Noam Chomsky called manufactured consent; we need only realize that we can withdraw this consent by simply changing the way we live. Manufactured consent requires our participation; especially our economic and cultural participation."(1) <br /> <br />Noam Chomsky and Edward Hermann published a book on this topic back in 1988. But, even before that, in 1982, Ayn Rand delivered a powerful speech entitled "The Sanction of the Victims" in which she stated unequivocally: <br /> <br />"... it is a moral crime to give money to support ideas with which you disagree; it means: ideas which you consider wrong, false, evil. It is a moral crime to give money to support your own destroyers."(2) <br /> <br />According to Rand, the sanction of the victims can be defined as: "the willingness of the good to suffer at the hands of the evil, to accept the role of sacrificial victim for the 'sin' of creating values." <br /> <br />What Chomsky and Rand are in agreement on is the fact that evil is powerless without the cooperation of the good; and this is a subject I have visited implicitly in various forms. <br /> <br />Obviously, Chomsky, Rand and I would all differ on the details of what is good or bad. So we would differ on the content, but the structure holds as truly today as when English philosopher Edmund Burke stated the idea in the 1700's, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.’ <br /> <br />This concept lies at the core of the unique approach to activism that we take here at European Americans United. Rather than blame pornographers for pornography -- we put the blame, and thereby the power -- in the hands of the white men who purchase the product. If white men refused to purchase the product, the evil intentions of its purveyors wouldn't matter and they would be powerless. <br /> <br />We are not a victims-rights group. Rather, we are an organization that seeks to make change through beneficial changes in our own behavior -- political behavior, economic behavior, ethical behavior, spiritual behavior and family behavior. We -- you, I, and every white person in this country -- already have the power to accomplish anything we want. All we have to do is stop blaming everyone else for our plight, take personal responsibility, and withdraw our consent and sanction from the Apostles of Epic Evil. |

| He versus "It" You will notice in the Declaration of Independence that as King George III was accused of atrocious and intemperate behavior he was called “he.” But in the same context “it” would mean today’s system with its endless turnpikes of bureaucratic indulgences. By Frank Roman In 1775 Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. The purpose of the Declaration was to declare and explain why the thirteen colonies were breaking away from King George III and Great Britain’s control. Jefferson starts off the Declaration of Independence by explaining why he is writing this proposal. He starts off by telling the world what is wanted by the colonies. He talks about the rights and powers the people by way of birth deserve and ought to have. Jefferson says, “…, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable** Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” He then goes into tell how it’s also the right of the colonies to break away from Great Britain if Great Britain is not treating the colonies well. Jefferson says, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government...” adding “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” |

| Conservative Icon Jesse Helms Dead at 86 By presenting himself as a man of courage, willing to stand up against 'tax-and-spend liberals,' homosexuality and so forth, Helms commands respect.
