Redefining Patriotism

The SPLC has released another report warning against right-wing terrorists. (Yawn!). The SPLC often issues reports and announcements designed to provoke. The latest report came out in August. This time they sent the report to police departments. In the past they sent them to news outlets. The sad thing is that many so-called journalists took what the SPLC said as fact and reported it that way. The shoddy journalism gave the SPLC credibility which it did not deserve. The SPLC depends largely on donations, so it is in their best interest to keep some excitement in their reports. The more controversy=the more donations.

What is noteworthy about the “newest” is that the SPLC has expanded its laundry list of positions that earn one the title of ‘domestic terrorist’ or of a ‘hate group’.

  • Oppose abortion
  • Are returning veterans
  • Oppose same-sex marriage
  • Oppose restrictions on firearms
  • Oppose lax immigration laws
  • Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programs
  • Oppose continuation of free trade agreements
  • Are suspect of foreign regimes
  • Fear Communist regimes
  • Oppose a “one world” government
  • Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world
  • Are upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India, and more

Given the items they include, every Southern and Christian organization that stands for the ideals that America was founded on should be included. The laundry list indicates that any one who wants to take a stand on moral issues or wants to protect family values, save American jobs, oppose oppressive government and retain soverignty.  If your church holds a prayer vigil concerning the moral state of your community-according to these standards, you are either a domestic terrorist or a hate group.

It remains to be seen if the law enforcement community will recognize the SPLC for what they are and whether they will fall for shoddy journalism.

In the latest SPLC hate group map, the League of the South remains prominent. As the wicked continue to call evil “good” and good “evil” like the SPLC does, will your church or groups take a strong enough stand to ‘make the list’?

In essense, the SPLC is redefining patriotism. The new definition is more akin to being a sheep and welcoming global wickedness in all its forms. If you welcome job loss, moral depravity, trust foreign dictators and the media-you are a NEW PATRIOT. If you do not, you are a right-wing domestic terrorist.

Liberty for Texas!
