Roy Moore Films Fundraising Video For Christian Nationalist Group Run By Neo-Confederate Activist
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 4/3/2015 12:54 pm
Earlier this year, as Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore ordered probate judges in his state to defy a federal court ruling establishing marriage equality in Alabama, Brian reported extensively about Moores personal, financial and ideological connections to Michael Peroutka, a Republican county councilman in Maryland who has used his personal fortune to fund extreme Christian nationalist causes.
Peroutka, who until recently was active in the neo-Confederate League of the South and once said that he was still angry Maryland didnt secede from the Union, runs a group called the Institute on the Constitution (IOC), which promotes the view that American laws must reflect a certain interpretation of biblical law.
The IOC teaches that the Constitution requires that public officeholders believe in God; that the promotion of evolution is an act of disloyalty to America; that there is no such thing as a civil right; and that the Maryland General Assembly is no longer a valid legislative body after passing laws, such as marriage equality, that Peroutka believes violate Gods law. Peroutka argues that one reason the U.S. has strayed from Gods law is because the Union won the War Between the States.
