Hi Mark,

Good too hear from you.

You said; "I find it somewhat hard to believe that you expect others to follow your "spiritual path".
As a Jewish person who rejects Jesus as the son of God, I can understand why it's "hard to believe" from your point of view. The spiritual essence of Jesus and his Cross are beyond your grasp because you refuse to honestly examine the historical eyewitness accounts in the Gospels. If you really seek the Lord with all your heart, the spiritual reality and power in the name of Jesus will be manifested in your life.

"Of course you won't comment on your failed political career.."
Sorry Mark, I don't have a failed political career. I have an ongoing spiritual-political-theological "career" that is flourishing. Do not look at one small insignificant political event and interpret that as a "failed political career". My politics is directed towards transforming peoples hearts and minds, not win election. The ultimate historical objective is to preserve the purity of the Christian Faith, preserve our Christian Culture, and to remove the forces within our Culture that work against Christ and for the destruction of the Christian Faith. Our ultimate personal objective is to live and die in Christ.

"your very public comments during that time would reveal you to be anything but a sincerely religious person."

Exactly what comment are you referring to? Is it the comment about 'racial quotas' and 'affirmative action for European-Americans'? If racial quotas and affirmative action are used to correct imbalances where blacks are under represented, then why shouldn't these same social engineering mechanism be used when whites are under represented in a corporate or municipal work force?
Again, do you oppose affirmative action and quotas for whites ? Do you think it's okay to discriminate against white Christians?

I defy you to quote "a public comment" or private comment where I advocate discrimination against any minority, on purely racial grounds. Civil rights for white people are just as precious and valid as civil rights for black and Jewish people.
Why is it that most Jewish civil rights activists resist the idea of civil rights for white Christians?

The "path of hatred" that you dream up comes from your own biased mind. I marched for black civil rights in my youth and continue to believe that all men just be treated with dignity and respect, not respect for their religion and ideas, but respect for their human dignity. (all men are created in the image and likeness of God.)

<<"In my opinion that is the furthest thing from God's intentions.>>
I agree Mark, it is the furthest thing from your god's intention because your god is Satan, not Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit. As I've told you many times Mark, when you reject Jesus, you reject the one true God.

I have always liked you as an individual Mark. It is clear that I disagree when you on many issues, but I still like you. If you would like to discuss these things on the phone at my expense, let me know and I will provide you with my phone number or you can provide me with yours.

How's your wife and children? I hope all are in good health. Any grandchildren yet? It's hard to believe we've been on SI for some seven years.

Emile
