Patrick B. McGuigan: Conservative leader attacked
2002-06-12
By Patrick B. McGuigan
Chad Alexander, chairman of Oklahoma's Republican Party, is aggravated over the dubious alliances of the other party's leadership. His strong pro-family stance has infuriated an activist homosexual group known for supporting Democrats.
In a press release last Friday, the Cimarron Alliance Group said a statement by the GOP leader showed the party of Lincoln had "at central core the ideology of extermination and eradication of a social minority." They said Alexander's words "were no less hate-inspiring than those Hitler used during World War II." The group demanded that the state Republican Party "make an official retraction of Mr. Alexander's statements" and "require (him) to issue and (sic) apology." The group said unless the state GOP retracted the party chairman's words, the organization would "be unable to support any Republican candidate who does not specifically and unequivocally renounce Mr. Alexander."
The activist homosexual group's statement was characteristic of that movement's tactics elsewhere in the nation in recent years, seeking to compel cultural conservatives within journalism, academics, broadcasting and other influential fields into silence.
Although Alexander is best known for advocacy of lower taxes, smaller government and the congressional redistricting plan designed to enhance Oklahoma's incumbent clout, he is also pro-life. He holds traditional mainstream conservative views on the homosexual activist agenda and other so-called "social issues" -- matters which might more aptly be characterized as cultural and moral.
Alexander countered the Cimarron Alliance's attack, saying, "What we are concerned with is the public policies that certain gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender groups support. They push a very liberal agenda that does not have a place in Oklahoma or the Republican Party. ... Because I have a principled difference with these organizations on public policy they have decided to pick a fight ... by comparing me to a mass murderer."
What drew the ire of the activist homosexual group was a May 29 statement in which Alexander decried the Oklahoma Democratic Party's willingness to support "the left-wing homosexual agenda" by hosting a convention for "Stonewall Democrats." That group is described as a "gay and lesbian" Democratic club.
Alexander said the co-hosting move was "just further evidence of the growing control the radical homosexual lobby has over the Oklahoma Democrat Party. Now we can better understand why Attorney General Drew Edmondson joined with leftist homosexual groups in suing the Boy Scouts of America." The Cimarron Alliance Group characterizes Alexander's words as "bigoted and divisive."
Alexander pointed to the Stonewall Democrats' Web site which indicates the group's activities are coordinated with the party's formal leadership. He said the site also indicates the Stonewall group "seeks to maximize turnout for pro- homosexual candidates in order to facilitate the election of Democrats."
In his original release, Alexander said he was speaking out because state Democrats are trying to appeal to moderates and conservatives. But he remarked, "How can the Oklahoma Democrat Party continue to claim that they're conservatives, while at the same time hosting conventions that promote the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender agenda?"
Alexander's original release also jabbed at the Stonewall Democrats for plans to hold a brunch with Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont. Dean signed a "gay marriage" statute after that the Supreme Court of that state pressured the Legislature to act.
Keep up the great work! We need a lot of folks like you!
This thread is filled with references to NAZI's, the German National Socialists, hate, and fascism.
Since you have determined to close your mind, you will therefore not observe who is the author of the article which I referred to you ... and what its many benefits of helping your arguments (elsewhere on this thread).
I did you a favor, but because you elect to "not change [your] mind," it escapes you.
Your happiness with getting a handle on things and improving your lot, was my interest too.
PLEASE bother to use the Google search engine and look up the author. I am certain you would be surprised to find out where he came from and why he says the things that he has; and painstakingly so "!"
Your faithful servant,

This article points out, the typical trashtalk employed by small minded individuals and who, when they can't get their way, revert to personal attacks, insults and ad hominem rhetoric. Jim Robinson has requested we all stop attacking each other, but the fringe reactionary extremists, aren't heeding Jim's requests. Very inconsiderate, if you ask me. They're bound and determined to throw out all manner of inflammatory garbage, which then instigates all out flame wars within FreeRepublic's dominant rightwing. As I always say, this type of absolutism serves no good purpose in the political arena. OTOH, I've received many emails in support of the real conservative agenda and how that agenda can be implimented through the actions of the Republican Party. There may be a core group of FReepers, who constantly step over the line of fairness and decency, but there are many more FReepers who are highly vocal and passionate about real conservative issues. These folks, these true blue conservatives, can see through the extremist agenda and the outrageous behavior of this fringe loudmouth coalition, of misfits and malcontents.
Again, I refer you to furtherance of your knowledge about Mr. Hayek and his learned observations.

Seems our illustrous Attorney General who is up for re-election is touting their Agenda. I couln't believe it when he went against the Boy Scouts and then joined the Gore lawsuit to overturn the Florida election and he was representing this State which was totally opposed to both his actions. Guess we know now who is running the DemocRAT Party in OK!
Your bookmarking this page, will serve you well.
Please note, there, the book by Tammy Bruce, The New Thought Police --- it has very much to do with your concerns, which are also my concerns.
Sincerely,
