Wisdom says "all those who hate me love death" (Prov. 8:36). A culture which
loves death cannot stand. If any of the godly are present within a culture
possessed with such a death wish, the presence of two separate cultural
orders will become increasingly obvious over time. At some point, two
nations will emerge. Our fellow Americans will become to us Amalekites."

OK, now I'm *really* confused. You started with North saying that "liberals
should be picked off one by one with sniper rifles or slaughtered wholesale
like the Amakelites".

When I asked for a reference to where that comes from, you cite Wilson -- 
which didn't have any reference to North's quote.

Are you objecting to the fact that the alleged, anonymous, uncited quote
from North contains the common word "Amalekite"?

You have completely lost me in this discussion, Andreas.

Do me a favor, please provide me with the reference where North said that.
I'd really like to follow up on that odd notion of his. Thanks.

Best,
Dale
