The left is trying to paint Von Brunn as a kook out of the conservative, Christian worldview and thus post-facto burnish the Department of Homeland Security report about the risks of right wing terrorism in the United States. The fact of the matter is that Von Brunn was anti-Christian and socialist in his views:
..I actually downloaded the first few chapters of his “book,” so you wouldn’t have to. It has a slow connection, but that’s the least of its problems. He drank deeply, quaffing down the whole Kool Aid stein of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Let me head off the next slander, soon to come — as it did about Tim McVeigh, who was agnostic.
This guy was no Christian. Oh yeah, he uses the word quite a bit in the book, but only to repeat the various blood libels and to point out how the Christians have suffered at the hands of the Jews. Others, with stronger stomachs than me, waded through all the insanity and hate of the full volume, and verified that in fact he is anti-Christian. He believes that “socialism represents the future of the west,” and that the Bush administration was behind 9/11 — putting him firmly in the camp of the left, not the right.
Christians, to him, are just props on the stage of his hateful passion play. Which, of course, makes the Navy rear admiral who endorses him on the web site a dupe. No Christian could have written such a screed…
…Punish this guy as a domestic terrorist, but please, don’t give us any slanderous blather about how he was a “right-winger,” or a “conservative,” or a “Christian.” He’s not, any more than the British National Party (basically a spiffed-up albionized version of the German National Socialist Workers Party also known as “Nazis”) is…
At bottom, Von Brunn is insane – a man entirely disconnected from the Judeo-Christian civilization he lived in. As to just why he became disconnected, who knows? But by one means or another, and step by step, Von Brunn started down the path towards insane hatred – at the start, there was a lie, and Von Brunn choose to believe it, and then he followed that lie down into the sewer until he was believing that the Protocols are true, President Bush was behind 9/11 and, ultimately, that he had to go shoot people at the Holocaust museum. It is always lies at the bottom of whatever evil we encounter – to try and say that this man was part of the truth of conservatism and Christianity is just a mindless slander of Christians and conservatives, and does no one any service as it doesn’t attack the lies which started Von Brunn on his path.
