Despite frequent "corrections", Mathews's last name only contained one "t". --ESP 05:54, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Robert Mathews is NOT a fascist
Robert Mathews, like all revolutionary leaders defy many traditional labels.
Facism was a label that Robert Mathews would dispute since he was not a believer in Governmental Control as is meant by this phrase. Nowhere can it be shown that Robert Mathews spoke of, or wrote about, this concept of government. Like all Folkish leaders, he believed in the the 'power of the people', his people, to set the standards of Life and government.
Placing Robert J. Mathews on the Facism index is dishonest at best, misleading at worst.

[edit] Merging with The Order
Does it make sense to move the section on The Order to The Order (group)? --ESP 14:29, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
When it says, 'Mathews began to read history and politics'- doesn't that suggest he was at University?- it should be made clearer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.225.201 (talk) 08:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I've read about history and politics since I was a little kid. Doesn't mean I've ever gone to university. 99.234.23.2 (talk) 08:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Irrelevant schmaltz
This article is riddled with non-encyclopaedic rubbish, the most notable paragraph being: "Two years later he married Debbie McGarrity, a Kansan who shared his love of nature. He began to raise Scottish Galloway cattle. The couple adopted a son in 1981, and he became the incarnation of the hard-working all-American man. He kept his hair short, and it is reported that he didn't drink, smoke or cuss. His favorite snack was apple pie." -- is it Wikipedia policy to include not just articles on non-notable petty crooks, but also their favourite foods as well? This article needs a major clean-up to be based on facts instead of nostalgia. Jdcooper 10:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
