Breaking News: Neo-Confederate tries to win Anne Arundel County Democratic Party Committee seat. UPDATE:

I just was informed about this web page

http://www.betsybury.com/

If you go down the page you find out that Pastor David Whitney of the neo-Confederate Institute on the Constitution (IOTC) is running against her.

The IOTC web is http://www.theamericanview.com/

The web address is somewhat laughable since it really is the Confederate View.

Pastor Whitney is running for a Democratic Central Committee seat. The reason why this is a matter of concern is that people are generally fairly unaware of this office, the turn out can be very low, and it would be possible for a small group to win if the public was not alerted to the problem.

This article in the American Review of American Studies at the Univ. of Toronto gives a good idea of the religious beliefs of the neo-Confederate movement.

Worked today and got back and started to look into this further.

Pastor David Whitney doesn't like the Harlem Shake in an article where some Christian leaders express opposition to Christian students doing the Harlem Shake.

With that in mind I offer these www.youtube.com videos of students at Christian institutions doing the Harlem Shake. Horrors! Some of these Christian students seem to be having fun! Oh the ungodliness of it all. ;-).

Texas U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman working with Institute of the Constitution run by League of the South board member Michael Peroutka

The details of this collaboration is at this link:

http://wthrockmorton.com/2013/07/tx-rep-steve-stockman-joins-with-league-of-the-south-board-member-on-amicus-brief/

I don't know Warren Throckmorton and I haven't checked all the details. However Peroutka is involved in the neo-Confederate movemeent.

Throckmorton refers to this URL:

http://www.theamericanview.com/institute-on-the-constitution-in-the-united-states-supreme-court/

It says that the Gun Owners of America (GOA) is also involved. The GOA had a series of full page ads in the neo-Confederate publication Southern Mercury.

Maybe the Institution on the Constitution is the gateway of neo-Confederacy into the conservative movement.

Warren Throckmorton has an article about Institute on the Constitution course offering on the Constitution canceled by school board

The Institution on the Constitution (IOTC) founder Michael Peroutka is involved with the neo-Confederate movement and the League of the South. The IOTC was going to offer a course on the Constitution with a local school, but people found out what the real agenda was and it was cancelled.

It is reported here on the web page of Warren Throckmorton.

If you go to wthrockmorton.com you can see all his posts on the topic.

Besides learning that the course was cancelled, there is something else that is good about this report. Conservative Christians are rejecting neo-Confederacy. I don't think it necessarily means they reject the Lost Cause, but it does mean that they are learning what the neo-Confederate ideology is and rejecting it and realizing that it is something that is attempting to find a place in their movement.

I think upon reflecting on neo-Confederacy a person is likely to in time reject the Lost Cause.

NOTE: People should always understand that my anti-neo-Confederate efforts are non-partisan regarding other issues. It is my goal to reach out to all segments of society to oppose neo-Confederacy on the basis of a common support for American democratic values as embodied in the American republic. Hence the name of my website site www.templeofdemocracy.com.
