"The annual report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), published last week, documents a 30 percent rise in the number of active hate groups in the United States, from 784 in 2014 to 1,020 in 2018, a period that coincides with the election campaign and first two years in office of President Donald Trump. "
I agree with the above article about the rise of " hate groups " . But just WHO is the most credible judge of HATE SPEECH, HATE CRIME ? The illiberal liberal Democrats come dangerously close to introducing THOUGHT CRIME into " OUR democracy ".
Not everybody using vulgar racial and ethnic slurs is recruiting material for the KKK or white supremacist neo-Nazi groups.
Reading the transcripts of FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzuk , I wonder if the esteemed Southern Poverty Law Center has not " investigated " the esteemed FBI as a HATE group ? Or the Democratic National Committee or the " filthy New York Times " ?
Also, I don't like the very concept of HATE CRIME . What if a serial killer tortures and murders a 100 females without any hate in his heart ? Sentence him to life in prison ?
Is HATE itself a crime apart from physically hurting people ? I think individuals have a right to their FEELINGS . It does violate God's LAW according to that old relic " The Baltimore Catechism ".
But leave it to God to judge the sinner here . Or just the cosmic GREAT IT !
