It seems the KKK (or at least some organization out of Sharpsburg, Maryland calling itself the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, though they seem to have the typically Nazi thing going on besides the standard satin sheet gear) has applied for and been granted a permit by the National Park Service for a "rally against the Iraqi War and for white unity between the North and the South" in, of all places, Gettysburg. (Pennsylvania. Battle of. Lincoln gave a short little speech there. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, call the school district where you went to elementary school and tell them your parents want their tax money back.)
The rally will take place on September 2nd, if you're interested. There are a number of folks coming to counter-protest, including members of the 37th Texas Cavalry, a multi-racial Confederate reenactor unit; I'm most proud of them, because Confederate reenactors are always getting tarred with the KKK brush for carrying that X-flag.
Now, I'm usually all for free speech but, in this case, fuck free speech. Fuck the First Amendment. Fuck their 'rights'. My forefathers didn't wear the uniform and fight and die from 1861 to 1865 (and 1918 and 1941 to 1945) in order for brain-dead scum like this to act out their racist fantasies on the 'hallowed ground' of Gettysburg.
What's next? Will they grant a permit for a pro-al-Qaeda rally to be held at the World Trade Center site? (Only if the FDNY and NYPD get to bulldoze the weasels into the hole afterwards...)
Lloyd Williams, an attorney, has expressed his "fervent hope that all the ghetto gangstas will declare a ceasefire in terms of black-on-black crime in order to descend in droves on Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on September 2nd in order to teach the creepy Klansmen an overdue lesson in tolerance. Or else."
I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see that on the nightly news...

ReplyDeleteThank you...this was our third time against the Klan and our third success.
