The "if" was a big if. It is clear that his main object is something different.

I agree with you that they make politics interesting and entertaining. It is refreshing to see what politicians stand for.

so then accorden to the "Princple" strategy it would be wise for him to keep the money

In that case, lostinacause, you might consider checking out Ron Paul. Lots of his videos there, too. Just click on Ron Paul 2008 — Hope for America. He'll blow your mind with his honesty, and patroitism.

And it's been this way for way over half a century.

The media and government demonizes and hates every single White civil rights leader and group in our country, and they have for the past 50 years.

Have you ever heard anything good about any white civil rights group or leader on TV, or by any politician, in your entire life ?? See what I mean ?? The government and media hates them all, and therefore they also hate all white people. Simple logic.
I never saw things in these terms before but its pretty hard to refute if you look at the facts objectively--it seems that white people have less speech rights and are increasingly demonized

You really do have an honest and open mind, mkultra. I admire AND respect that.

Btw, there's an excellent discussion forum where lots of white folks go to discuss things that interest them at: Stormfront - Discussion Board for Activists. You can listen to what awakened white people are saying and doing these days. They've even got white talk radio, and lots and lots of white pride videos, and music too. It'll blow your young mind.

The White supremacist that gave the money has not written any brilliant theology or stood in front of a church council to defend his work and said a inspiring quote. Luther has done both which makes him just a little bit different from the guy in the article.

Also the great advantage about Luther is that he is dead and I can officially apologize for his hateful works (On the Jews and their lies is the actual book, I've read parts of it) and denounce those works, while still staying to the rest of his theology.

so here I stand, I can do no other, God help me

I know enough about monetary theory to know that Ron Paul would never get my vote even if I could vote for him. In fact most of the fringe candidates have substandard economic policies.

I mean, if it's proper to refuse money from one group, then it should also be proper to refuse money from any group. Where will it end ??
It can also be argued that if Paul keeps the money, he is violating his stated principals of freedom for all if the contributing group advocates special rights for one ethnicity over others. If, in his mind, this organization does advocate special rights, then Paul should refuse their sponsorship to remain consistent with his message.

Of course, this same litmus test, however, should also be placed on all of his other supporters as well

Additionally, I see no constitutional issue relative to voting rights effected by Paul's decision to accept money or not from any group or person

You vote for him. Money doesn't get your candidates extra votes, and his taking of your money does not equate to his use of that money for effective ad campaigns, which further do not equate to winning anything except maybe from irrational idiots, and that shouldn't be the case anyway.
