The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks extremist organisations, says it has so far counted more than 300 patriot groups this year...[More]So the Sarah Brady Paradise "Authorized Journalist" wants to call American patriots who believe in the Constitution "extreme," and then tell his readers with a straight face that we should consider SPLC to be "researchers," with the aura of legitimacy and honest brokerage that implies?
Stewart Rhodes asked both Mike Vanderboegh and me if we would talk to this guy--I see he he quoted Mike. He never contacted me, and I also got permission from a militia contact to pass his edress along, and likewise, he was not approached.
Well, Mr. Leonard, had you not been so hurried in your rush to judgment, you might have learned that supporting and defending "the supreme Law of the Land" is hardly the same as being "anti-government." I know you Eurostatists have a tough time wrapping your heads around the fact that an oath-breaking administration is not the same thing...
When it comes to fidelity to founding principles, we're not the ones in a state of armed rebellion--they are.

The truth is far to inconvenient for those in "merry ole England" just like it was inconvenient back in the 1700's.
What we need to do is make certain we do not end up like those in Scotland who talk all about freedom and liberty — AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!

The Constitution is my Bible more than the Bible is my Bible.
Who's doing more harm to American civilization, constitutionalists or people like Gov. Adolf "Der Austrian" Schwarzenegger and his Big Brother microstamping law? Thanks, NRA, for another dumbing down of liberty.
If there's to be another civil war, I'll be on the side of New Hampshire: "Feds, back off!"
I know of a couple of congressmen who could charge SPLC with treason, regardless of the political consequences. Wish they would.
.... Some of us ARE Anti-Government though.
The fact that I'd settle for a strict adherence to the Constitution doesn't mean that I'm not a Market Anarchist.
But how does me being an Anarcho-Capitalist make me a threat to society?
That's a question no one bothered to ask.
Speaking of Anarcho-Capitalists, I always liked Billy Beck's take on the use of the word "extremist" (as in the SPLC's ambiguous "extremist organizations" cited above). Look at
this article from back in the day.
Whenever possible, ask a writer or speaker who uses words like "extremist" to explain their intended meaning, rather than letting them get away with starting the debate on their terms.
