    The David Horowitz Freedom Center stated in a recent email that its ability to accept donations by credit card has been disabled by both Visa and Mastercard following a campaign by the SPLC to label the Freedom Center as a hate group. This situation comes shortly after Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch was forced off the funding platform Patreon following pressure from Mastercard.
    The Freedom Center is the next target of the SPLC, and they are using Mastercard and Visa again in their attempt to shut down conservative voices. In an email sent to supporters, Horowitz outlined how the SPLC had convinced Mastercard and Visa to block the Freedom Center from receiving payments and donations via credit card.

    The left are not fascists. They are fighting fascists. That's what I'm hearing.

    This happened to me once after buying many rounds of Patreon one night. But I’m pour so....

    Horowitz is a Jewish name. Why are Visa and Mastercard banning Jews from using their services?

    The SPLC is an anti-semitic hate group, which also called Magid Nawaz and Hirsi Ali proponents of Hate Speech. SPLC is staffed with the dumbest, most incompetent fools of any such organization today, and survives only because of the reputation of its founder Morris Dees. I used to support this group back in the early 90's, until they became a circus of incompetent idiots.

    Trump & Republicans needs to start highlighting these offenses, people hate this kind of shit, pin it on the left, it's one more anchor to tie around their necks in November.

    In related news, CNN's ratings have fallen by 25% in the last quarter, while Fox's have increased by 12%. It's not that Fox is great, or even good. It's that CNN is that terrible, and Trump has succeeded in making CNN his Bitch.

    And here lies the difference between the left and the rest of America. They use authoritarian tactics to silence viewpoints and people like Tommy and Apag look the other way because it's their guys doing it. As much I would like to see the 'democratic socialism' movement shut down, I oppose censorship of them, especially shit like this.

    I saw Julian Bond at the Washington Legislature when I was in high school

    Sad to see how far the SPLC has fallen

    I don't have the same feeling toward the SPLC. The kind of shit they're engaging in, if there's a way to put the screws to them and shut them down, do it.

    Morris Dees was a bad-ass Civil Rights Lawyer, and a philandering, shitty husband, which sort of goes hand-in-hand, but he sued the fuck out of the Hayden Lake Nazis, Tom Metzger and those Nazi douches in Portland, taking them for everything they had. .

    That's back in the 80's and 90's when Neo Nazis were real. Today, there's no Nazis left, and it's all pretend so ANTIFA faggots can break windows and hang out with ugly fat girls. SPLC has already been sued and paid large settlements for slander for their bogus hate group listings.

    Wrong Org, I think. Bond was NAACP and maybe SCLC, but never SPLC as far as I know.

    Fuck Acronyms, btw.

    Bond was elected to four terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and later to six terms in the Georgia State Senate, serving a combined twenty years in both legislative chambers. From 1998 to 2010, he was chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the first president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.[4]

    If it's meaningless to you, it's the fucking North Star to important people.

    Should clarify something about the so called democratic socialists, they're just a novelty right now, let them do their thing. They are about as dangerous as a fly right now. They're waiting for the next economic crisis to get in power, like the Nazis did. They admit as much on their own website. If that ever comes to pass, all bets are off the table. Freedom loving people should overthrow any Marxist/fascist government before it ever gets off the ground.

    In the meantime, their philosophy should be exposed to a wider audience so it can be whittled away at and discarded before something like that ever happens. Reform the education system so that it produces people with American values instead of Marxist racist fascists.

    I warned you all about this. This is the next generation of faggot hollow men who don't have real American souls. They were taught that America was never great, that it is a white privilege nation. If they have no respect for the nation's history, do you think they're going to have any respect for the Constitution? They will create their own. A majority of millennials would rather live under socialism than capitalism. The democratic socialists want to end capitalism.

    A majority of millennials think socialism means better healthcare.

    Can't really blame tthem when the media has turned social safety net stuff into socialism, although it has squat to do with it.

    Millennials have to care about healthcare, because they are the fattest, physically laziest generation of Americans ever produced, and they keep getting fatter and fatter. They'll need bypass surgeries by 45 years old and new knees and hips by 50. They're on full display at every Sounders game, acting like the pathetic fags they are imitating European soccer fans with all their might, because, on top of it all, they have zero creativity or initiative. This is what the soy-boy generation has brought us.
