| Message | We have always been social conservatives in most respects, we have never attempted to hide that fact. We have never claimed to be socially progressive, our voting record speaks for itself in that respect. In social matters, excluding homosexuality and abortion (we are pro-gay rights and pro-choice) we are relatively fascistic. Pornography pollutes the mind, and is exploitative of women. Divorces destroy families, and should not be something initiated on a whim. Public nudity and sex acts are damaging to very young children and offensive to everyone else. If morality can only be acheived by legislating it, then so be it. |

| Message | It is interesting your party describes yourself as "relatively fascistic." At least you are open about it. Do you now understand why some of us want to prevent you from having a private militia? You seem to want to control everything: the economy, the working class, the morality of our people, our military and police forces. We disagree with much of what you stand for. But we want to take this time again and plead with you to voluntarily disband CDF as part of the Accord and campaign for your ideals and beliefs (whatever they are) in the non-violent, political, and legislative arenas. You cannot successfully force your ideals with the barrel of a gun, but you can at the ballot box. |
