The ATF kicked the crap out of a journalist who shot was invited to shoot footage the original day of their publicity stunt raid.
Later they took "pride" in what they were doing (posing as a conquering army atop militay vehicles clutching a rifle and a flag).
The ATF was a domestic military skirmish and a shame.
I'm not even getting into conspiracy territory.
And when I say that the KKK gave their support, I mean that they went down to Waco, introduced themselves to the ATF and asked if there was anything they could do.
Thank you!
To clear up some things other people said, I'm not a racist and I don't agree with their position about that. I will say I get a little worried when I see whites becoming a minority in this country, and there aren't many people standing up to that.
Yes,and the Chicago Police beat up journalists in 1968 while dispersing Leftist mobs.And certainly had a bunker mentality since the liberal media and the intellectual elite loved to sling crap on them.
I'm sure the ATF had the same mentality during Waco.
Thats not to say Reno and Clinton shouldn't get a big share of the blame for sacrificing lives to advance a political agenda.Yet I refuse to support the Branch Davidians in any way.Much of what went on there was NOT Christian.
The Klan is a big joke.Just for curiosity I went to a few of their websites last year.All of them were selling Klan knick knacks and looked absolutely pathetic-a bunch of overweight middle aged clods trying to find meaning in their empty lives.
Very sad state of affairs.
How does one stand up to that? I won't apologize for existing or reproducing, and neither will any of my family. As for illegal immigration, this is entirely a matter from a sovereignty, legality and "burden on the taxpayer" standpoint. Simply not liking the ethnicity of those who are coming here illegally is not a valid nor is it a noble argument against illegal immigration.
Whites are becoming a minority in this country?Whites are a small minority in the entire WORLD.
I don't think thats either good OR bad.It just IS and nothing can change that.No point in wasting energy moaning about it.
Years ago (actually about 1955), I had an uncle who was in the Klan. Biggest bigot I ever knew, but he hated Nazis more than blacks, catholics or jews and hated arabs more than he hated the Nazis. He'd fought in the War against Rommel in Northern Africa had came back with the notion of arabs being the worst of the lot. He'd probably roll over in his grave at the thought of the Klan getting cozy with neo-nazis.
"return this nation to Christian principals"
Hardly. Christianity is "too Jewish" for most KKK members.
They tend to practice/believe the de-Jew-ified version of Christianity that Hitler was creating and/or ye old pagan religion of pre-Church Germany.
Whether they can pull any terror acts now is not the question, the question should be....Will any activity related to support of terrorism on US soil to be tolerated?
"I was just following orders" has never been a good excuse. Still isn't.
Good post. Let the Democrats obsess about race. If ethnicity and group identity is your god, you're a Dem. Conservatism sees people as individuals. It is character and principle that matter, not any collective identity other than "citizen".
Thanks. Unfortunately, the Dems have been successful in muddying the waters.
"I never see the ADL speak out against the rampant antisemtism on American campuses and airwaves of Left Wing Hate Radio."
Exactly right, the ADL is a left wing propaganda organization and could care less about antisematism if it is preached by left wingers.
Good line.
I would guess that this "story" is merely an ADL press release. They may be correct as to the increased activity and membership of the KKK, but the article cites absolutely no statistics to document their point.
The KKK was predominatly Democrats, but it was radical policies that lead Democrats into forming the KKK. Republicans wanted to force social change on everyone in the south for votes, but not in the north. Truth be told, after the civil war blacks were better off and had the rights the white man had in the south than in the north. Mississippi's biggest cotton grower were in fact black and not white. I submit it was really the radicalism that created division and hate in the south.
Who codified the black codes across the south? President Johnson after the war!
If anyone thinks radical Republicans were not corrupt and self-serving than I have prime beach front property outside of Phoenix to sell them.
Sounds like the ADL and the SPLC are running short on rubes and cash. Gotta ramp up the machine to bring in more $$$$$.
