I place very little faith and even less trust in this current administration and its agenda. They do have a history of changing definitions. I really have to wonder (it's not a very long stretch of idea) if the recent "Summit on Extremism" and this president's refusal to acknowledge the base behind the current slaughters is just another step in redefinition. I don't see it as much of a side step to suddenly include freedom loving people willing to defend the Constitution and people willing to profess the name of Christ (no, it's not a cuss word) under the ambiguous umbrella of extremism.
Of course, if the SPLC declares someone or an organization as worthy of being watched and scrutinized, then it has to be accurate. Right?!
And the effort to convince us that what the terror groups really need are jobs for them to lay down their weapons? Please. Spare me the diatribe. Then Marie Harf goes on to claim that the administrations position on this is "too nuanced" for us to understand?
We understand, alright. We understand.
All of this makes me think of Paul's letter to the Ephesians 4:13, 14:
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
