Christian Falangist Party of America

From Freepedia

The Christian Falangist Party of America (or CFPA) is a Christian Right political party in the United States. The Party was founded in Philadelphia on September 14 1985, the third anniversary of the assassination of Bashir Gemayel, who's Lebanese Kataeb Party provided the inspiration for the CFPA. Since that time, it has yet to field any candidates for office. A 2004 presidential write-in bid by then chairman Kurt Weber-Heller was abandoned when Weber-Heller left the party to join the Franciscan Order.

The American Falangist logo is a cross with four equal perpendicular arms, an adaption of the arms of the Kataeb (a red, typical dimension, cross with a triangular slice removed from the descending limb). This cross was originally used by the French crusader, Guy de Lusignan.

The party espouses a far-right ideology. It is uncompromisingly pro-life, against gun control, and maintains a position on homosexuality that calls for outlawing public displays of homosexual behavior, but states "what consenting adults do in private is between them and God and not the government's business."("Our Beliefs"). Also notable is it's revisionist stance on the crusades and the party's views on Islam and Freemasonry, not to mention it's fear of the New Age-movement.

Their current president, a former military sergeant, is Christian-supremacist Patricio Cortes Bridges.
