“The Ahmansons say their views are misunderstood. They do not want a theocracy to replace democracy in the United States, they say. And they don’t want to make all Ten Commandments or all the biblical «case laws» the law of the land. Yet at times, the way they explain their views – the fine lines they draw, the hypotheticals they consider – can leave questions about just where they stand.” - Max Blumenthal – Avenging angel of the religious right – Salon, 06/01/2004 – http://www.salon.com/2004/01/06/ahmanson/
«Today, Ahmanson says he is more mature than the card-carrying Reconstructionist who told the Orange County Register in 1985: “My goal is the total integration of biblical law into our lives.” In brief, written responses to questions I e-mailed to him, he placed special emphasis on his disagreement with Rushdoony’s opinion that homosexuals should be executed. “Due to my association with Rushdoony, reporters have often assumed that I agree with him in all applications of the penalties of the Old Testament Law, particularly the stoning of homosexuals,” Ahmanson wrote.” - Howard Ahmanson, Jr. – Wikipedia, 27/04/2014 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Ahmanson,_Jr.
«Howard Ahmanson contributed $62,500 to the Western Center for Law and Religious Freedom, which, among other things, aided the citizens and leaders of the Kern County school district defend their choice to ban One Hundred Years of Solitude, a book by Gabriel García Márquez, for its «profanity» and «vulgarity.».” - Jim Naughton (2007) – Following the Money – Episcopal Diocese of Washington – http://www.canticlecommunications.com/Data/Sites/1/docs/following_the_money.pdf
“Previously, Ahmanson was a disciple of the Rev. Rousas John Rushdoony, the father of Christian Reconstructionism. Rushdoony died in 2001 with the Ahmansons at his bedside. [ref]”
