Hate Groups: A Nimrod Magnet

Surprise of all surprises. There's been a surge in hate groups across the country.

And a charming lot they are. In a video from "The Ohio Militia," a man donning a face scarf and sounding like he was inside a drainpipe, said that we should be very afraid, though exactly of what, he did not say. At one point, he encouraged everyone to stockpile guns and ammunition in preparation for a war, like the one in their minds.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the three divining rods that have caused a 54% membership surge since 2000 are: the Obama administration, the economy and illegal immigration. Other than lining the Ohio Militia and other groups up and having them use each other for target practice, the best way to combat them is through education. Once children learn how to read, let them learn about different ethnic groups, not only one or two. Let them watch videos and go to plays. The Obama administration should also launch its own ethnic PR blitz for all ethnic groups, which would finally be money well spent.

Although no sane person would want to meet them in a dark alley let alone in broad daylight, there is little chance they will take over. Not only because vigilance reins supreme but because they are devoid of functioning brain cells and will eventually step into a booby trap of their own making.
