With passage of the Third Force Act, popularly known as the Ku Klux Act, Congress authorizes President Ulysses S. Grant to declare martial law, impose heavy penalties against terrorist organizations, and use military force to suppress the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). ---SNIP-- the KKK engaged in terrorist raids against African-Americans and white Republicans at night, employing intimidation, destruction of property, assault, and murder to achieve its aims and influence upcoming elections. In a few Southern states, Republicans organized militia units to break up the Klan.

Century old anti-Klan laws in many states that prohibit the covering of ones face in public remain in effect.

Let us never forget our Dear Senior (now deceased) Senator from West Virgina, Robert “Sheets” Byrd who, by accounts from all the knowers-in-the-know was the greatest constitutional scholar of all time - in perpetuity (that means forever to you Democrats out there, by the way).

“Sheets” was a po-boy from WV and it jess so happen that the only way he coulda ever be elected (dis from Slick Willie Billie Clinton) was to become a member of the Ku Klux Klan so as to really ‘hep’ the peoples of WV.

He wanted to ‘hep’ them so much he became GRAND EXALTED KLEAGLE POOBAH WIZARD. And, he ‘hepped’ them so, so much. Why, his name is on nearly every gubmint building, freeway, driveway, and trash dump in that whole state he ‘hepped’ them so much.

So, in the Democrat Celebration of the KKK act, let us not forget that. Grand Exalted Kleagle PooBah Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan - a senior Democrat Senator, of the modern Democrat Party.

President Ulysses S. Grant ,18th President of the United States , was a Republican (R)
Senator Byrd , formerly Klu Klux Klan was a democrat (D)
that means that after 27 Presidents , the black vote hasn't figured out that they are better off with a Republican
Go Figure !!
They aren't stupid ,... just stuck on stubborn stupid !!
and then .. we wonder why they won't , as a block , support the Repubican candidate.
Just ask Elijah Cummings , there is an example of stubborn stupid !!

Is the modern day equivalent of the KKK the Bureau of Feudal Land Management?

If so, then Feudal Lord Reid would then be “The Grand Dragon of the BFLM.”

Feudal Lord Reid’s Rustlers are hired guns, who are furious but not fast, which also applies to their Millionaire Leader, Feudal Lord Reid.

With the KKK and now the BFLM, ethics be damned, as abject fear is the main goal of these Medieval Outlaw Gangs.

“Ethics” will be justified later by Liberals who will write the ‘revised” PC History of these times, past and present; of powerful men with outlaw hatred toward free people in America, Black or White, poor or rich.

The Jackboot Heel of Tyranny is now upon us, again !

FORWARD!

You ask me? I really don’t know. How come most idiot Democrats associate “Jim Crow” laws with Republicans.

All this was Democrats. Democrats are the true racists. Al Gore’s father vehemently voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Robert “Sheets” Byrd was a grand kleagle of the KKK!.....you tell me.

” - - - How did - - ?”

G-U-L-L-I-B-L-E low-information voters elected both Hitler and Obama.

Gullibility also was the main factor in racial doublethink sleight of hand by the Democrats.

Now why would Republicans have organized to defeat the Klan? Oh, yeah, that’s right, because the KKK was a Democrat organization.

And still is. It’s just camouflaged in the rhetoric of civil rights and equality. But the slaves are still there on the new reservations that we call inner cities.

This is what amazes me about Hank Aaron’s comment that the Republicans are like the KKK. The KKK was and is Democrat. Most blacks are just not too bright I’m afraid...which is why 95% of them vote Democrat and support Obama. Talk about a major FAIL for our education system. If the schools taught the historical truth, this would/could be a different world.

Where do we start? The Schools are misinforming students. The press lies ceaslessly. The GOP refuses to counter this and call the democrats on their BS.

I enjoy rubbing truth in the faces of liberals every chance I get.
