Hi All-

The KKK is such a small group their impact is virtually non-existant. I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Yeah but they wont admit that.

I agree that the Klan is utterly insignificant. A Klan rally in a non-historic and non-symbolic location should not only be permitted, it should not even cause alarm. It would mean nothing to me.

But at a place like Gettsburg, it is an insult to the honored Union dead and to their cause. I think it's also an insult to the Confederate dead. Congress has passed a law forbidding protests at military funerals. I'm all for that. I think a war cemetery or battlefield site (which is, in a sense, a cemetery even if no one is buried there) should come under that definition. The law should be amended to include such places.

Hi California Patriot-

Your post makes complete sense and we're in agreement.

Face the facts, pinging me would bring more posts to your threads then any dixie ping to all your bestest confederbuddies,

and more rational and logical arguments as well.

I sent the club a wire stating,

PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.
