SPLC Continues Conning the Public

There's this weird idea out there that the Southern Poverty Law Center actually cares about civil rights and "hate" in America. 
Truth is that they're simply a money generating machine that uses slander and leftist sensibilities to scare people into donating.
Their list of "anti-government groups or militias" is pretty laughable.

Record number of anti-government militias in USA

Radical anti-government "patriot" groups and militias, galvanized against gun control, will continue to grow even as the number of groups operating in the USA reached an all-time high in 2012, a report Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center finds.
The center tracked 1,360 radical militias and anti-government groups in 2012, an eightfold increase over 2008, when it recorded 149 such groups. The explosive growth began four years ago, sparked by the election of President Obama and anger about the poor economy, the center says. That growth is likely to continue as the groups recruit more members with a pro-gun message, the center's senior fellow Mark Potok said.~snip~

They've in essence reduced anyone who believes in the second amendment or limited government as a "radical".  Believing in certain amendments of the constitution  like say the first, the fourth or the fifth is OK but believing in the second makes you an anti-government loon.
I'm not anti-government, I'm anti-over reaching government. Being a "Patriot" is not a dirty word and when the hell are Americans going to push back against media organizations who use the SPLC as a source for anything.
The SPLC is nothing but a self serving group of leftist goons and the liberal media are basically acting as their fund raising organization.
We need to stop buying into it.

Watching the Hive Mind at Work

Here's something I saw over at Weasel Zippers today.
Transgender Woman Freaks Out After Being Called A “Lady”…

Weasel Zippers found this story of "outrage" at the liberal/commie website Raw Story which if you read through the site "Raw Sewage" would actually be more appropriate.
The guy in the story arguing for a little common sense is the president of SaveCalifornia.com which the SPLC has has given their "hate group" award to.
To the SPLC pretty much anyone who doesn't tow the liberal/commie line is a "hate group", hell they've used it so much that it really doesn't mean much any more.

The thing that struck me though is not really the story, I mean we all know what kind of spin this garbage will get, but the comments. More specifically the liberal/retarded comments. (Now when I say retarded I'm not talking about developmentally disabled, I'm talking about people who's thinking processes have become retarded to the point of being incomprehensible. It's a perfectly acceptable word for what a portion of the public has become. We ought to give some thought to repurposing it for use to describe liberals.)

Anyway, most of the comments consisted of hurling words like "bigot", "ignorant", "haters" and the false word homophobes. There's really not a whole lot of logic presented about why...for instance it makes sense for members of the opposite sex to comingle in restrooms. Or why it's OK for boys to be on girls basketball teams or why, if a girl demands it, to be a tackle on the school football team.
The problems inherent in this kind of anarchy just doesn't seem to register on the pro Transgender crowd.

Nope all they got pretty much is nonsensical insults to anyone who may question the wisdom of allowing those who are confused about their gender to do whatever they want because they feel like it and to hell with the consequences.
They can't put together a cognizant argument to justify the rights that they demand, all they got is name calling.
How can we be losing the culture to these morons?
Truth is that they get their way by throwing little fits of rage and are enabled by low substance websites that allow their rantings and name calling to remain out there for everyone to see.
Social change nowadays isn't being made by reasoned debate, it's being made by shutting down the opposition.
I wonder what it will take for real Americans to push back?

Where's Brian Ross When you Need Him?

Well, it seems that today we finally had a shooting that appears to be ideologically motivated.

Virginia man charged in shooting at Family Research Council

Washington (CNN) -- A 28-year-old Virginia man was held late Wednesday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon after a security guard was wounded in the lobby of the Family Research Council, a conservative policy organization, authorities said.

Police and federal agents were investigating what prompted the suspect, identified by the FBI as Floyd Lee Corkins II, to walk into the group's headquarters about 10:45 a.m. and open fire.

Corkins, is from Herndon, a suburb of Washington, the FBI said in a statement about the charge.

The guard helped wrestle the gunman to the ground. Called a hero by police, the security officer was in stable condition after being shot in the arm.

A law enforcement official said the gunman made some remarks opposing the Family Research Council's policies before opening fire.

A source working with the DC Center for the LGBT Community told CNN that Corkins had worked as a volunteer at the center.

David Mariner, executive director of that center, released a statement Wednesday night saying he was "shocked to hear that someone who has volunteered with the DC Center could be the cause of such a tragic act of violence.

Funny thing is that it took hours before the mainstream media bothered to gather any facts about the shooter and his motives. Which didn't seem to be the case with the gunmen in Aurora Colo. or the Sikh Temple shooting with the MSM twisting every direction in the wind to find a "right wing" connection.
Ah, maybe they weren't near a computer and couldn't google his name or maybe they felt the FRC brought it on themselves. Being a disgusting hate group and all according to the SPLC.
Must be nice to have that kind of power, to use the strength of opinion to smear anyone you want.

I'm sure it's an interesting position the progressive left has found themselves in, after demonizing conservatives at every turn when a violent act by a deranged lunatic happens to find themselves in the same position they tried to put others in.
Only this time the dots are connected and their hateful rhetoric against dissent is starting to come back and bite at them.
But to me what's truly disturbing is that leftists have a tendency to elevate and admire the most violent of extreme leftists. Like Che Guevara, Mao Zedong,  Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorn because their violence was committed for the struggle.
As a matter of fact I wouldn't be surprise to see a "FREE Floyd Lee Corkins!!" T-shirt and bumper sticker in a few days.
Leftists will always embrace "martyrs to the cause".
