It was my hope we need not talk about this however considering you bring it up....there are many fringe groups that try to associate themselves with Christian,Militia,Patriot groups...just like communist groups who associate themselves with enviromental or racial groups....but if you look at Christian Indenity groups and the like you will find they are National Socialists....and are as far as you can get from those who hold strong feelings toward God,country the constitution,bill of rights and the vision of the founding fathers

In the late nineteenth century, the Christian Socialist movement enjoyed a revival in Great Britain, and gained popularity in the United States as well.  Journals were published in both countries under the title "The Christian Socialist," and progressive Christians from all over both nations were able to contribute their thoughts to these movement organs. ,  It is fair to say that the Christian Socialist movement was eclipsed by secular socialist movements (the Fabian Society and the Labour Party in Great Britain, Eugene Debs' Socialist Party in the United States), which derived much of their impetus and appeal from the groundwork laid by these earlier advocates of the so called Social Gospel.

I agree that I wouldn't associate Christian Identity groups with other militia or Patriot groups. I'm well aware of the difference. But understand that the CI groups do claim do try and claim many of the values of that Christians, conservatives and others that love the country and freedom. When you confront them, they reveal what they are -- racists, anti-semites and supporters of totalitarian countries and ideas. The CI movement is dangerous and needs to be confronted every bit as much as openly left-wing groups do.
