If they know anything about history(haha), they would know that the kkk has always been full of democrats.
Refuting every stupid thing Aaron Sorkin has said in previous decades may be a good use of the writer's time, but reading his article isn't the best use of anyone else's.
Nathan Bedford Forrest, Albert Pike, and that Simmons guy were high up in the Masons and consciously, quite openly modeled the KKK on the Scottish Rite-type secret societies. This conclusion does not require fevered conspiracy paranoia nor even very sophisticated sleuthing: they (especially Pike) put it in their own writings.
Condon does say, near the end of the article, that the Masons of today are quite different from those of 90 or 150 years ago. Today’s Masons would have, I believe, nothing to do with this Klan crap.
When has a KKK member ever blown up a school in Beslan?
More to the point, it is the mob calling for removal of statues and monuments here in the US who are the closest thing to ISIS. How soon before Mt. Rushmore is blown up and Christian/Catholic icons exploded. I’m guessing not long.
Bkmk
Great article.
I really wish people making statements like this would...
1. learn something about the KKK (in particular) & white supremacists (in general) what they really think...( I use Think in its loosest sense)
2 then they might stop making stupid statements that white supremacists/christian identity groups have anything in common with Christians....other than we both belong to the same species.
3 then my headaches might go away.
Note: brucedickinson they do exist there just really aren’t that many of them. One of the reasons could be they look at family reunions as a good place to pick up chicks.
