Now I have never been a member of the KKK and don't plan to be however being from the South I had kind of a morbid curiosity and I was interested to see what they said. They covered how the Klan was active in politics and backed many candidates especially during the 50's and early 60's and some of the politicians would join the Klan to get elected although they failed to mention they were all Democrats. As the program was winding down the commentator said the Klan today has lost most of it's members and is no longer as powerful as it once was and they have mostly discarded their white robes for more normal dress and they have morphed into the current Patriot Movement.......Say What ???, I couldn't believe they actually said that, but after that one brief statement they did not elaborate and moved on. Now if in fact they had proof of that they would have explored it but they did not so it was just thrown out.Now I have long realized the news media is biased and slanted toward more liberal views but if you think there is not a concentrated effort to brand those of us who stand for liberty, freedom and the Constitution then either you are a closet liberal or don't have the common sense God gave a tree stump. Who would have thought those of us who believe in our founding documents and principles would be branded as such, wake up America.
Couple that with what Oprah said about the racists will have to die to end racism and it's rather obvious to see where this is headed eventually.
ReplyDeleteMatt, But 0bama has fixed all that, we all love each other now unless of course you disagree with him then you are a racist. BTW, I guess this made Hillary a racist during the his first primary cycle.
Deletenow now.... just give Oprah back her Medal of Freedom that she recently purchased and go away.
DeleteDon't go away mad, just go away.....
Duke,
ReplyDeleteThe news media has been biased and slanted for long time especially toward those people who believe in the Constitution, the Patriots, and the Tea Party.
Sandy, Very true, Thanks.
Deleteunfortuantly this is not the first time that sort of ignorant analogy has been made.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the reason then of so many black Patriots and Conservatives, like Alan West?
It is not a matter of color but of ideas. I have no clue when that will sink in through some of these thick skulls.
JUGM, They won't change, they are too closed minded. They will never give up their ideals no matter how impossible they are.
DeleteOn a side note . . . the Klan, in its early history, focused on Catholics. In fact, in the early 30s the family story is told that my Grandpa (and name sake) joined the local branch to keep the Catholics in their place. He was a good sized man - well over 6' while my Grandma was 5-footish. He came home with his "uniform" and she went after him with a cast iron skillet. He changed his mind about his membership . . . .
ReplyDeleteActive Klan rides are so far in the past that the "History" channel, Democrats or anyone else for that matter can turn them into anything they want . . . I'm sure there's much more coming for folks who think like I do.
eiaftinfo, The only hope the left has is to rewrite history to suit their needs.
DeleteBack in the 1920's 6,000 Klansmen marched right down Pennsylvania Avenue to support their political candidates. They were a political movement to reckon with in those times and they almost invariably supported Democrats. There is an active Clavern in a county SW of me. I know a few of them by sight. They are all really old guys and spend most of their time drinking coffee at McDonalds. They are about as politically active as the Jaycees. They signed up to pick up the trash on a segment of a highway here, and caused a big stir in the city papers but it was much ado about nothing. They drive up and down the highway in an old golf cart in their work clothes and pick up the trash. Not very threatening.
Deletebuddy, can i excuse myself from the conversation by being a dumb canadian? honestly Dear Duke - if i got started i wouldn't stop! this bullcr*p is just that - a whole pile of bull-crap! being that i'm not even american but am a patriot at heart - does this now make me a member of the kkk? well then so be it!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Kymber, It doesn't make any sense to me either unless their plan is to brand as as racists and turn us into enemies. Thanks my friend.
DeleteYGTBSM!!! And of course since that was not refuted, expect to see that comment show up again as in, "Well it was on the History Channel so it must be true" vein...
ReplyDeleteOld NFO, so true, that's how this stuff starts. Thanks.
DeleteGah... Where does this crap end???
DeleteFolks - this is the new party line - get used to it. "Gun owners are racist and need to be disarmed".
ReplyDeleteSat Cong
Anon, Apparently so. Thanks.
Deletethe original klan disbanded in 1890's and was a group dedicated to keeping justice in a lawless reconstruction south. the klan of the early 20th century is a horse of a different color. the modern klan are just nazi skinheads. you must classify which one
ReplyDeleteAnon, it has changed it's goals more than once. Thanks.
