Article on Neo-Confederate who won a Republican party primary in Maryland and neo-Confederate attempts to get involved with mainstream politics.

This article was published in the Huffington Post recently.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-hutson/meet-marylands-white-nati_b_5572556.html

It turns out that Michael Peroutka, a theocrat and former League of the South board member, was able to win the Republican party primary for an Anne Arundel County Council race in Maryland. and won a seat on the Republican Party Central Committee there. He runs an organization called Institute on the Constitution which is fairly openly neo-Confederate in its views.

What I found somewhat ominous is that Joseph Delimater III, who is closely tied to Peroutka, ran unopposed in the Republican primary for sheriff and could be elected in the general election.

The article is worth reading. It shows that neo-Confederates are not confined to some remote rural area or a particular region of the nation, or marginal.

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.
