This should warm Senator Byrds heart.

Klan Klown Krowd. These a-wipes are a forgotten relic.

I know I would be standing with the counter-protesters....

I live about 30 miles from Gettysburg. There is a pocket of these cooks that live in central PA and virginia.

They just won't go away. Fortunately, this will get little to no coverage. Everyone knows they are deminishing in numbers.

Do you suppose Sheets put in an appearance?

Gettysburg is one of our favorite places to visit. Have they voted on that casino yet? When we were there last spring there were signs for and against all over the place.

Gettysburg is one of our favorite places to visit.

Which reminds me it is proably time for a weekend road trip there before it gets too cold.

I used to live in Waynesboro.

I wonder if the Klukkers came from the area just to the north of Waynesboro?

That is the area they kept coming from when they'd come into towm to make asses of themselves....

Go Texas Cav!

Two of my ancestors served in McCord's Texas Cavalry (aka the Frontier Cavalry or the 46th Texas Cavalry), and I think that one or more of their cousins served in the 37th Cavalry (Terry's Cavalry or Terrell's Cavalry).

The Klan had a rally here in Elizabethtown, Ky last summer, but only seven of them came compared to about two hundred counter-protestors.

About 30 Ku Klux Klan members proclaimed hatred for blacks, Jews, gays and Latinos ...

Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan also called Saturday for the U.S. to pull its troops out of Iraq and use them to patrol the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration.

Interesting how much the Klan shares with the Left - treating people by race, religion and/or sexual orientation rather than as individuals, pulling out of Iraq, commandeering symbols of others for nefarious means, not to mention Sheets Byrd. They're more alike than either the Klan or the Left would like to admit.

You nailed it. Yep the same clowns. Also, some coming in from McConnelsberg in those hills west of Chambersberg.

It's the same people over and over again. It's getting old already.

LOL

Well the gene pool ain't exactly deep in that area.

A few years ago I went to a Blue Grass Music Festival in McConnelsberg because I like that kind of music once in awhile. I couldn't believe it when a Klan meeting broke out in one of the picnic areas.

If you recall, there is only one company in McConnelsberg, it is JLK Industries. I knew every one of them from doing business with the company. I mean, these guys make great lift trucks, but they are as backwoods as you get.

You can't even get a radio station that doesn't have country or religion on it. BTW, I heard this on the radio, honest; They will save your sould if you send in $3.

Drove right past this yesterday and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

War Reenactors Counter-protest!

Perhaps they could perform a bayonet charge against the Klan?
