The transition of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) from a civil rights group to a liberal hate group does MLK's Civil Rights movement a gross injustice.  Consider this account and then look about you at the damage progressivism and liberalism has done our country in the name of equal rights, civil rights, justice, political correctness, fairness, etc., etc.  Quote: "But over the years—like liberalism itself—SPLC has seen what some in the foreign policy realm call “mission creep.” Or might it be termed a creepy mission. Now, anyone who dissents from the liberal social agenda is in danger of being put on SPLC’s list of “extremists.”  And, "But Leo Johnson is a Christian. Leo Johnson is a black man. This is how far things have come.  All over our country, Christians who protest the killing of unborn children, who defend marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and who uphold the liberty of conscience are being similarly targeted and called “haters.” If Leo Johnson had been a hater, he could have killed Floyd Lee Corkins [man who attempted to kill as many people as possible at a Chick-fil-A] with impunity."    http://townhall.com/columnists/kenblackwell/2015/02/14/splcsliming-ben-carson-smearing-prolife-christians-n1957456

Quote: "“In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. A serious discussion on the Bible can bring outright contempt. . . . The Book That Made Your World, by Vishal Mangalwadi, brings to mind Alexis de Tocqueville’s early-nineteenth-century classic, Democracy in America. . . . A culture can barely begin, let alone sustain, any serious intergenerational attempt to comprehend, interpret, and respond to the riddles of life and the universe unless it has some reasonably comprehensive worldview.”  And, "Given evolutionary and materialistic assumptions, there is no underlying moral base upon which to build a lasting society. Integration into the void of chaos, primitivism, and nihilism, something we're seeing escalate all around us, is the only possible end."   http://godfatherpolitics.com/20333/america-lose-mind-soul/

Hopefully the bill passes.  Good for Montana.  Read the objections voiced by leftist.  Ask yourself if there is any logic at all for their claims?  Suggesting that Sharia Law reside along side US law is a nonsense proposition on its face.  It is, in fact, a submission to the tenants of Islam...which is their intent in any case.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/montana-lawmaker-just-taken-bold-step-protect-american-justice/?

This item helps us understand the decay in government, big government and its insidious relationship with special interests and big business.  Quote: "When I write about the “inbred corruption of Washington” or “Washington’s culture of corruption,” I’m not merely taking pot-shots at the political elite.  I’m trying to make a very serious point about the way in which big government enables immoral behavior by both elected officials and various interest groups."    http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/danieljmitchell/2015/02/13/big-government-and-corruption-are-inextricably-intertwined-n1956936?   Progressivism/liberalism is the dominant philosophy of elitists in government, big business, financial institutions and academia.  Their self serving and corrupting influence on our society has been on the rise for many years.  The signs are everywhere you look.  Their philosophy has infected our public schools, academic institutions of higher learning, public discourse, respect for others and long standing societal norms, individual responsibility, morality, religious principles, and personal ethics, among others.
