I visited the Faith & Heritage site and I read the article in question, along with the comments, and from what I can gather, these folks are for the most part not the same people Lawrence Auster had in mind when he was speaking (broadly) of American evangelicals, whom he correctly describes as the Jews’ best friends. 

Yes, as you and Auster rightly observe, the Jews have an unfair revulsion toward evangelical Christians, and for what they represent politically. However, when people like “Generation 5” start using the Bible as a weapon against other people, and lift the words of Christ out of context to smear all Jews as “a brood of vipers,” then that’s just rank Jew hatred, and it’s no wonder Jews would feel antagonized by such a dehumanizing attitude. Jesus did utter those words, but in a particular context about a subset of people within the Jewish nation (the Pharisees) who on the one hand are NOT representative of the entire nation, but who on the other hand ARE representative of a spiritual disposition that is evident in many religious people, across all cultures. They were self-righteous and they despised others who were not as good as they are (Luke 18: 9-14). Is this really just true of that group of people? The answer should be obvious, but it’s explicitly spelled out in Romans 11, which warns gentile believers in Christ not to hold the Jews – as a collective people – in contempt. 

(I know, I know, they’ll reason that this was written before AD 70, when God allegedly finalized His rejection of the Jewish people in allowing the temple to be destroyed. Not true, but it’s awful convenient for some. Now they get to indulge in the same spiritual pride that Paul warned against. Woo-hoo!) 

Honestly, there was so much wrong with the article, including the ridiculous notion that only Christians, endued with the Holy Spirit, are capable of good works. Some points are too ridiculous to bother refuting. Suffice it to say, I’ve never met an evangelical Christian who actually believes this, much less teaches it from a platform — or publishes it in an article. 

But here’s an interesting thing to consider. A few years ago, the Jewish actor/writer Ben Stein made a movie called “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” in which he (1) exposed the hostility of the academic establishment toward the concept of intelligent design, and (2) how evolutionary orthodoxy within American universities is so rigid that professors who promoted intelligent design have seen their careers destroyed. Stein was widely praised among American evangelicals, many of whom (gasp!) actually started praying for his salvation! Now, a few people didn’t like the film, including evolutionary Professor Kevin MacDonald, who lumped Stein in with what he calls the “culture of critique.” Stein’s Jewishness featured heavily in MacDonald’s dismissal of this man, who was attempting to bring before a mainstream audience a situation that has marginalized one group of people more than any other: Christian academics. Meanwhile, who does “Generation 5” rely on to furnish him with insight into the oh-so-wicked cultural pathologies of the Jewish people? Kevin MacDonald. 

One doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I agree with Mark’s assessment of the site, however, I do feel the temptation to support it. Laurel Loflund of kinism.net is a writer I greatly respect, and thus far, they seem to have abstained from any further racist or anti-Semitic articles.

But I’ve been locking horns with other white nationalists for almost three years at this point. And I’ve noticed this trend in pro-white commentators where they embark upon a slippery slope of initially opposing anti-Semitism, but gradually giving in by first showing support for anti-Semites, publishing their articles, or making concessions to them. Before you know it, they start quoting Mein Kampf. Caesar Tort/Chechar is a notorious example, but there’s plenty of others out there. Moral of the story: anti-Semitism is poisonous. You give ground to them, and you begin to indulge in the hate yourself.

Faith and Heritage may not be full-out anti-Semitic, but their willingness to publish an anti-Semitic article shows a tolerance for such wicked beliefs. Anti-Semitism must be rejected entirely. After having once corresponded with standard anti-Semitic white nationalists on sites like Alternative Right, I now see the wisdom of Lawrence Auster’s policy of completely avoiding contact with the anti-Semites and their allies. I will only work with pro-white people who reject racism and anti-Semitism. A lonely path, to be sure, but one that I believe is the Godly path.

I have liked what I read of Laurel Loflund’s pieces at Faith and Heritage. But she strongly endorsed in the comments Generation 5’s article about Social Network.
