You are welcome to rewrite history to suit your personal beliefs or agenda, but don't ask the rest of us to just sit by and watch. My not-so-distant ancestors had more than one experience with the Klu Klux Klan - please don't lecture me about the Klan.

>>I've seen photos of the Klan at it's peak in the 1920s, and they were certainly flying flags when they marched. The American flag. Lots of them. Not a rebel flag in sight. I guess they didn't know what Hollywood expected of them. Oh well. But we can always tell it your way, it's more pc.<< Freddie, with all due respect, you're a jackass.

Take a look at the flag these guys (American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan) are flying - recognize it? americanknights.com >>The flag of the South is now the flag of World Wide White unity! The battle to save the Confederate flag is raging throughout the South . In schools, government offices and even in gift shops where the flag is sold, the effort is being manifested to STEAL the flag away from those who still cherish it's memory.<< kukluxklan.org Is your flag getting worn? Need a new one? These guys will be happy to sell you one for $15.99, and you can get a Nazi one to hang next to it. whitepride.com Now these guys don't seem to sell Nazi flags, but you can certainly buy a Confederate flag - as well as a Bonny Blue flag, and a Confederate flag with a Celtic cross in the center circled by the words "White Power and the Ku Klux Clan." You may have heard of these guys - they're the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan kukluxklan.org Or maybe you'd like to buy one from these sources, listed on the web site of the White Camellia Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Here's one of their links - These guys are a great source for books about the Civil War: pointsouth.com Let's see, what do they sell - why look, it's a defense of slavery by Albert Taylor Bledsoe, >>Was Southern slavery at odds with true liberty? Did it violate the Law of God in denying liberty to some men? To the contrary, the eminent Dr. Bledsoe clearly shows in this outstanding treatise that Southern slavery as it existed in the nineteenth-century went a long way toward preserving the fragile social order by denying liberty to those who were not yet ready to make proper use of it. This book demonstrates beyond all rational argument that the agenda of the Abolitionist Movement of the mid-1860s was to utterly destroy biblical government and to substitute a lawless egalitarianism (slavery for all) in its place. << Nice guys. Loyal Southerners, too. Mrs. S.E.F. Rose, Mississippi historian and State President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and historian of the Ku Klux Klan, back around 1915, wrote a nice little history of the Ku Klux Klan. Until recently, the various Confederate organizations were also staunch supporters of the Klan. >>LESSONS TAUGHT BY THE KLAN. Several lessons were taught by the Klan which are so plain that "he that runs may read": I. The inevitability of Anglo-Saxon supremacy. This was firmly established for all time by these brave men when every attempt was being made to trample white civilization underfoot. 2. The courage and patriotism of the Confederate soldier, tried on hundreds of battle fields. Returning home to desolation and poverty, he rose to meet an emergency during Reconstruction that called for most heroic action. 3. That truth will at last prevail. The KuðKlux Klan was founded on truth and honor; and now, after more than half a century has passed, the complete vindication of the Klan is being witnessed, bringing to mind the words of the poet: "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, The eternal years of God are hers; But Error, wounded, writhes in pain And dies among his worshipers." Ku-Klux Klan was born in mystery, lived in mystery, and mystery will ever enshroud its grave. As Minerva sprang from the brain of Jupiter clad in complete ,armor, so from the bosom of the Southland in a night, as it were, sprang this vast invisible, invincible army composed of the brave men of the South, fully armed and equipped, to redeem the land from oppression and destruction Let parents see to it that respect for the KuðKlux Klan is impressed upon the minds and hearts of their children, and thus will a monument be erected to those Southern heroes more enduring than marble or bronze.<< anet-dfw.com Oh, well, I could go on and on and on, but I think I've proved my point.
