[Hello RNS. Following is something interesting that I discovered on the web.]
SPLC Pervs & FRC Shooting
If something is unnatural or anti-American or anti-Christian, the Southern Poverty Law Center is drawn to it like flies to something smelly. Which is why the SPLC hates the Family Research Council which is pro-traditional family, pro-America, and pro-Christ.
After the shooting at FRC headquarters, which could have been a massacre, FRC president Tony Perkins stated that the SPLC has “been reckless in labeling organizations hate groups because they disagree with them on public policy.”
The SPLC calls the FRC a “hate” group because it follows Christ who said to His followers “Love your enemies” (Matt. 5:44).
By way of contrast, heavily Jewish SPLC follows the ages-old Talmud which HATES science, females, children (homosexual sex with children is okay!), all Gentiles, Jesus (who was born a “bastard” - Jewish Encyclopedia), and all Christians! For sources Google or Yahoo “The Earliest Hate Criminals,” “The Talmud and double standards” (July 3, 2012), and “Talmud” (Wikipedia).
Be sure to Google “Zionist Watch” (5/26/2007) which called SPLC founder Morris Dees “a Jewish radical leftist pervert…sexual deviant…flagrant adulterer…[and] alleged child molester,” also Google “The Anti-Chick-fil-A Jihad” and “Mikey Weinstein, Jesus-Basher.”
As you can tell, the SPLC (which is chummy with fellow schmucks including the ADL and ACLU) is a “love” group!
BTW, the one five-letter name starting with “J” that SPLC etc. hate (no, not James or Julia) warned in Matt. 24:9 that in the end times “ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” (I wonder how soon the SPLC will work for the banning of the Bible, the one book that America’s greatest leaders highly exalted - Google “Dangerous Radicals of the Religious Right.”)
While the SPLC and think-alikes are busy back-stabbing evangelicals (viewed as Israel’s best friends), the same schmucks are creating a huge backlash that will bring about the predicted end-time slaughter of two-thirds of Jewry and Jerusalem’s devastation (Zech. 13 & 14). By doing all it can to help fulfill the Bible’s predictions, the pervs at the you-know-what are actually making the Bible even more believable!
