“If you touch one of the Democrats’ sacred cow nonprofits, they’ll start whining about how you’re attacking ‘civil society.’ But what if the sacred cow Democrats want to defend is actually a violent bull — one of the worst forces undermining civil society in America today? Democrats and their allies portray criticism of the Southern Poverty Law Center as a threat to civil society. That’s rather ironic. You see, the SPLC is an engine of the very fear and suspicion that are driving Americans apart. Conservatives increasingly fear that our opponents don’t just disagree, but actively despise us. The SPLC doesn’t just publish papers explaining why it thinks conservatives are wrong. No, this organization — which gained its reputation by suing the Ku Klux Klan into bankruptcy — puts its political opponents on a ‘hate map’ alongside Klan chapters, a map the SPLC says reveals the ‘infrastructure upholding white supremacy.'” (06/14/26)
