Some advice for hate groups out there

The Southern Poverty Law Center has followed the rise of hate groups in the United States. I am dismayed to read that we have them in Iowa.

To set the record straight, for all the racist groups who are all atwitter at demographic changes, few people are going to see the error of their genes nor should they. Should you need to advance your particular gene pool, by all means love one another. To injure, kill or terrorize anyone else is unacceptable.

For those who hate or fear homosexuals, marry a member of the opposite sex and mind your own business. To those righteous souls who speak for God at every turn, remember He will judge us all, you too, and there is no appeal.
