Newsrooms were on fire this week with terrible news: The number of hate groups in the United States has soared to record highs under President Trump.
There are most certainly hate groups in the U.S., and even one is one too many, but I’d encourage everyone to approach the numbers reported this week with calm and caution. There’s nothing partisan operatives would love more than for you to panic and to believe them when they suggest that the problem can be solved by expelling "the other team" from power. That the figures cited by newsrooms come via the decidedly unreliable and hyper-partisan Southern Poverty Law Center also doesn’t help anything.
The New York Times reported, “Over 1,000 Hate Groups Are Now Active in United States, Civil Rights Group Says.”

Yeah Right Roger. I am betting that not a single one of those 1,000 Hate groups is a minority or Islamic. They are all White, Male, Christian, RIGHT WING, RED Meat eating, Gun Toting, ex-military, beer swilling, and STRAIGHT. We call ourselves AMERICANS!

More hits? It looks like a wide and deep river of information. An excellent read for sure. I am not sure if the SPLC was ever useful in a positive way. They dang sure don't have any good intentions today. They are a Marxist cess pool, IMHO. Thanks for the additional info @ namsouth.com. Interesting indeed.
