I would appreciate truthful response to this article. The inclusion of Bannon and Breitbart is troubling. It seems most of the outrage comes from leftists. I read the Breitbart about conservative's guide to the alt-right. Wanting helpful insight and truth not hyperbole please.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4.

Does statement by the Baptists sound like it coming from the Fruits of the Spirit?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5:22-25

At the core of the alt-right movement is idolatry—the idol of “whiteness.”

I think this is all just BS.

I think "alt-right" is mostly a construction of the Democrats. Anyone who is not actively helping Globalists like Soros and Hillary must be considered alt-right. And the alt-right can be described by any terms which will make them unpopular: racist, misogynist, smelly, they leave dirty dishes in the sink, they litter. they cheat on their taxes, and -- oh, yeah, they're racist and misogynist as well. Plus, they're racist.

Utterly ignorant and off base.

I herby declare a fatwa against Southern Baptists, especially those who dance.

Their is no room for their hatred, and dancing.

The “alt-right” is a figment of leftist imagination. No different than “assault weapon” or “tricke-down economics.”

It is a way of lumping young articulate rightwingers (who are not necessarily social conservatives) with KKK as a way of discrediting them. Its a DNC propaganda ploy. And it helps mobilized their thugs to attack them physically.

Inclusion of Breitbart is a hit job and probably the purpose of this article.

Alt right, as the article says, is still largely an unknown term. It meant a lot of things and it meant nothing. For many it meant being conservative but not one of the swamp conservatives.

These people say it is akin to the white identity movement. I guess the people with the presses get to publish the dictionaries.

I am a conservative who is not a swamp conservative like George Will or Eric Erickson or any of the never Trump crowd.

Vox Day wrote a response to this:

The SBC Virtue-Signals

from the response:
"We don't hate conservative Christians, we simply reject them as potential allies because they are useless failures inclined to do more harm than good to the nations. Their Christianity is cucked, and therefore dying; it won't be long before they embrace female pastors and honoring loving relationships between consenting adults of any of the 57 genders. Their conservatism hasn't even conserved the tradition of using the toilet. And their globalism makes them anti-American, anti-Western, and therefore our enemy."

Absolutely correct. The “alt-right” label is nothing more than yet another leftard/Demonic Party method of demonizing and dehumanizing conservatives. It provides the mindless, evil, perverted and violent scum that comprises the Demonic Party constituency, its justification for attacking and even killing anyone who represents or supports their “opposition”.

Let me know when the Southern Baptist Convention condemns the Antifa (AKA KKK 2.0).

Antifa = KKK
✔ Hoods
✔ Armed
✔ Violent
✔Anonymous

SBC brainwashed by the MSM. They are just on a slower road to paganism.

‘Alt-right’ simply means not part of the ‘Right’ establishment typified by Salem Media outlets like Townhall, and, unfortunately, by other outlets such as the RNC and National Review. As such, it contains a few nuts as it is without a clear structure.

The inclusion of Bretbart, founded by a Jew and run by a religious Jew, is proof SBC is just stupid or perhaps that the SBC itself is in thrall to Jew-hate.

“.....and what does the Southern Baptist Convention have to say about the Black Lives Matter movement and their racism?”

That type of question was my first thought too. Others have made similar comments. Apparently SBC sees evidence that “alt-right” was attaching itself to SBC and that was reason for the resolution.

I do not want to bash SBC. Is this article accurate or a regurgitation of MSM?

I am a conservative who is not a swamp conservative like George Will or Eric Erickson or any of the never Trump crowd.

I'd add George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush to that list myself.

Here's the bottom line: to many, anyone that's not a Progressive Liberal Democrat or a Never Trumper is "alt-right."

That of course means anyone who calls themselves a Conservative is "alt-right" to many and anyone who calls themselves a Christian is "alt-right" to many.

If you call yourself a Conservative Christian as I do, we're not only labelled "alt-right" we ought to be dragged through the streets until we're dead too!

The Bible does talk in detail about how Christians will be persecuted in the last days. Well, we're certainly being persecuted aren't we?

Still, I will suffer far less than Christ did for me.
