It has NEVER been the terrorist arm of the Republican party,,, or the TEA Party in any way.

Agreed.

conservatives

That's not as simple. The first KKK fit the classic definition of conservative, indeed reactionary. They were fighting to protect a disappearing way of life. Same is true of the other incarnations of the KKK.

Now I'll cheerfully agree none of these KKKs were what I would consider true America conservatives. Which I define as believers in the principles of the Declaration of Independence. In fact, I'd contend that the tradition the CSA, Jim Crow and KKK were fighting to conserve was the antithesis of American conservatism. Indeed, their efforts constituted the strongest effort in American history to import a truly anti-American ideology.
