Eternal if it wasn't for people like the SPLC and their exposes I would never had a clue of what this radical group called the Council of Conservative Citizens was up too. I would have no idea at the disturbing elements that are now passed off as mainstream and being interviewed as "conservatives" in the mainstream press.
It was through them that led me to start investigating neo nazi groups like Storm front and how they are showing up at our events. The stuff they say can be easily checked out. All they really do is alert me to a possible problem. They are doing a job that we on the right and conservatives should be doing. That is more actively policing ourselves to make sure that extreme elements and radicals are not using us. If we did that then we would not have these things explode in our face. That is what I am trying to do.We either ferret it out ourselves or the media does it and it then it tars all us conservatives. I don't agree with everything DEES does. I think he obsession with some issues is as stupid as the other side of kookdum. But I just don't ignore everything they say.
You're either incredibly naive, incredibly deceived or a deceiver yourself.
In examining your posts, my judgment is that it is a strong combination of A and B.
I believe it is called "trust, but verify."
Excellent post, Catholic.
