American Terrorists
Then there was America, where the Covenant, Sword & Arm of the Lord Christian Identity enclave in Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas, had planned the bombing of Oklahoma City's Murrah Federal Building in the 1980s, and where a Christian Identity hanger-on named Timothy McVeigh, boosted by phone calls to another Christian Identity stronghold in the Ozark Mountains, had followed up on the Oklahoma bombing strategy and killed 168 enemies of Yahweh's chosen race. The Aryan Republic Army was on a rampage of midwest bank robberies designed to finance triumph for the one true form of Christianity. Sandpoint, Idaho's, Promise Ministries were charged with planning similar hold-ups, the bombing of a newspaper, and the demolition of an abortion facility. The Phineas Priesthood provided encouragement to a network of lone killers "cleansing" in the Bible's name. Christian Reconstructionists like Gary North insisted that women who undergo abortion be hung or stoned to death. The Aryan Nations movement was determined to seize the mountains of the west as a new Canaan for pure Anglo-Saxon whites. The North American Militia of Southwest Michigan stood accused in court of having targeted the Battle Creek Federal Building, an IRS office in Portage, and, in the words of one militia member, "anybody in higher ranks of politics," including the state's two senators...America was the land where Eric Rudolph, the accused bomber of abortion clinics and of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, roamed free in the mountains of North Carolina, supported by the local populace. Ours was the nation where...a Buffalo, New York, obstetrician had been killed by a sniper as he stood with his wife and children in his kitchen, and where this murder had been cheered by the organizer of The Christian Gallery, a website dedicated to such causes as "secession via nuclear weapons" and the replacement of the two-party system with "God's plan for government." The Gallery had posted the medical practitioner on a cyber-hit-list of "child-killers" whom it declared to be in the "war zone." In the hinterlands of fifty states, extremist Christian militias drilled their detonation, reconnoitering, and shooting skills as thoroughly as their doppelgangers in Pakistan and in the former Soviet States, aiming for the day when the use of violence would eradicate the blemish of secular democracy and allow them to structure the ways of men according to the dictates of an unforgiving Deity. As right-wing Christian theoretician Gary North put it, "Man...is under God in the same way that a military man is under his commanding officer. He is to abide by his Commander's instructions, and he is to 'do it by the book.'"

"I represent a Political Party (The Creator's Rights Party) that would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons...and all the potential slaughter that entails... in defense of a State's Right to secede in order to restore God's plan for government."
