According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Michigan led the nation in 2010 with the highest number of anti-government extremist groups at 50.
And a recent article in Dome Magazine asked the telling question, "What is it about Michigan that makes our state a magnet for religious hate-mongers?"
Two things in this article stand out: Out-of-state agitators are responsible for much of the muck being raked in Michigan and bigotry is certainly nothing new to our state. Consider the Klan movement of the 1920s, militia extremists of the 1990s and sovereign citizens of today.
