Conservative Selfhelp Groups Targeted by SPLC : Chaos, Conflict And Destruction

To believe that the Southern Poverty Law Center(SPLC) isn't a domestic terror organization with the sole propose of destroying Conservative religious organizations and any other organization that represents fundamental help for those in need, has to be living in a bubble. 

They are a ruthless and lawless debauchery of the American way of life.

The SPLC is in business to disrupt and destroy the American civil society as it has been establish over the last 240 years. It is a tool for progressive socialist liberal hate mongers to bring chaos and conflict for ''fundamental change'' as stated by Barack back in 2007. 

It makes good sense that helping those in need strengthens the bond with the freedom to chose and become independent, is seen as a cause enough for the SPLC to list them as hate groups. And that to the SPLC, helping others to succeed is a dog whistle for the attacks on these foundations and organizations.

It is hate in it's purest form. The SPLC believes anyone that reaches out a helping hand to those that are hurting must be destroyed. 

Donation Processor Drops Pro-Family Group Over ‘Hate’ Label

The founder of a nonprofit dedicated to repairing families says suhe thinks being incorrectly labeled a “hate group” prompted the company that processed donations to drop her organization. Ruth Institute’s biblical stance on issues such as gender identity and same-sex marriage led to its being labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has done the same to other mainstream conservative organizations.

Vanco Payment Solutions, her nonprofit’s online donation processor for several years, abruptly emailed to say “we are severing our relationship with you,” Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of Ruth Institute, told The Daily Signal.  “The most logical conclusion is the fact that we were in the news with this hate map that SPLC [Southern Poverty Law Center] puts out, but no one has said that directly,” Morse, who is Catholic, said.

“I don’t know that for a fact,” she added. “We’re just surmising that must be the case.”  According to a press release from Ruth Institute, based in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the Aug. 31 email notice read:  
Vanco has elected to discontinue our processing relationship with the Ruth Institute. The organization has been flagged by Card Brands as being affiliated with a product/service that promotes hate, violence, harassment and/or abuse. Merchants that display such attributes are against Vanco and Wells Fargo processing policies.
Vanco Payment Solutions is a registered independent sales organization, or ISO, of Concord, California-based Wells Fargo Bank. It is not clear what Card Brands is.

After receiving the email, Morse said, she discovered that the donation function of Ruth Institute’s website was disabled, “so obviously they had done it before they even sent us the notice.” For now, she has opted to use PayPal in place of Vanco.

Morse noted that the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center lists other socially conservative organizations as “hate groups” and “anti-LGBT hate groups,” among them the American Family Association and Alliance Defending Freedom.  In doing so, critics say, the Southern Poverty Law Center equates respected conservative organizations with actual hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the National Vanguard, a neo-Nazi organization. SPLC flagged Ruth Institute as a “hate group” in 2013, the institute said in its press release.

Hoye told The Washington Times that listing Ruth Institute alongside racist groups such as the KKK is “reprehensible.” In Georgia, he said, the Klan lynched his great-grandfather and set his house on fire while his 14 children were inside. “I understand what the Klan is, and with that understanding, there is just no way that the Ruth Institute should be on that list,” Hoye told the newspaper. “The Ruth Institute is about healing the black family.”

Morse said CNN’s Aug. 17 publication of a map locating “hate groups” listed by SPLC attracted attention to her organization. Afterward, she said, a reporter wrote a story after seeing Ruth Institute on that map. Morse wrote an article about the experience that was published by The Stream, a conservative news site.

“I think people need to understand that the left takes the sexual revolution very seriously,” Morse said in an email to The Daily Signal. “This is a core issue for them. They think that being against gay marriage is the equivalent of being a skinhead or a member of the Klan. That’s how they are treating things.”

The Daily Signal requested comment from both Vanco and the Southern Poverty Law Center, but did not receive a response by publication deadline.

Sara Hassell, a Wells Fargo spokesperson, told The Daily Signal in an email that “we don’t have anything to share on the matter at this time.”

In June, GuideStar, an organization that calls itself a neutral aggregator of tax data on charities and other nonprofits, incorporated SPLC’s “hate group” labels, a move protested by dozens of conservative leaders. GuideStar then removed the labels.  

The “hate group” labeling misrepresents Ruth Institute, Morse said. “They can’t argue against us, so what they do is they prop us up next to … the Klan, guys in white hoods and guys with swastikas,” she said.  The issue should be of grave concern to conservatives, Morse said.

“The social issues are absolutely core to a free society,” she said. “You cannot have a free society if children don’t have their own parents. If a child doesn’t have a right to their own parents, nobody has got a right to anything.”
