To get listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hit List? The SPLC has put together an “alarming” report on the rise of patriot groups – telling us we should worry about them because they’re dangerous (to the regime, that is!)
On this report is a list of 40 people – that they consider to be at the heart of this horrifying movement. Included are Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul, Catherine Bleish of Liberty Restoration Project, Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, and others.
Not that I consider myself a big fish by any means, but what the heck do I have to DO to get on that list? For four years, Tenth Amendment Center has been bashing federal policies – we advocate mass civil disobedience to unconstitutional federal laws all across the political spectrum, and we’ve been featured in some of the biggest media outlets, numerous times (Fox, CNN, NY Times, AP, Reuters, etc).
Maybe I should push the organization a little more radical? Come on, SPLC, give us a chance, we’re definitely extremists!
Promise you’ll give some consideration next year?
If you want to be on that list, start spouting rhetoric about how the poor suck and are lazy, good-for-nothing-undeserving, godless people who should be stamped-out in a new generation of gas chambers, so that the rest of us hard-working people won't have to endure the scourge and demands of their existence anymore.
no, I don't think that's it – the list isn't about real extremists…..
That was hyperbole, Mike.
The underlying message was that the ideas being fomented from the "hit-list" are regressive. Obviously, any group who cares about the plight of the poor is going to be looking toward more progressive policies.
now THAT's funny – I'm not really at my best today, i guess!
it's a good thing that SPLC remembers that we are guaranteed freedom of Speech. sarcasm.
Well, you could start raising awareness of secession being a right guaranteed in the 10th Amendment. That might get 'em riled up.
To me, mass civil disobedience is a step up from that. Say a state secedes…it could still comply with "treaties". Then again, who knows.
Send me an email and I will tell you how to make them really pissed off… maybe that will get you the honor of making their list.
sent!
I think we should proudly volunteer our names for this list. Let each of the millions of tparty people sign up and be proud that we are are on it!
Count me in!
