New SPLC Report: ‘Patriot’ Movement Swells for Fourth Year | Hatewatch | Southern Poverty Law Center

New SPLC Report: ‘Patriot’ Movement Swells for Fourth Year | Hatewatch | Southern Poverty Law Center

TONEY ATKINS COMMENTS: Hate groups have increased in the U.S. since President Obama was nominated and then elected in 2008. While many members say that their religion and the Bible support their actions, a reading of the book, particularly the statements of Jesus Christ in the New Testament and the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament, confirms that hatred, prejudice and violence against fellow men and women are definitely anti-Scriptural, anti-Christian in their beliefs, actions and attitude. I often wonder if these close-minded people even hate themselves. Ignorance is still growing in the United States. Let's not beat around the bush. A major reason that the cause of the current unpatriotism is the fact that a black president has been elected twice. Many folks, especially in the racist South and in right-wing religious organizations do not actually believe in the creed that all men are created equal and they ignore the intelligent reasoning that skin color has nothing to do with a man's worth and his leadership abilities. Will Heaven be such a divided kingdom as the U.S. is today? Only God knows, and I pray that the answer to my question will be "no." Mankind has created enough hell on earth as it is.
