The Ku Klux Klan showed up in the Democrat column this time. Webb knows he owes his victory to the brownshirts. Not surprising at all to see him trying to sneak guns and ammo into the Capitol ~ not surprising to see his fascist friend Hagel involved in the conspiracy against the Republic.
Don't get me started. Did you read Dr. Dobson's pronouncement that Fred Thompson isn't Christian enough to be President. That made me sick. So, not just Brownshirts.
But as to Ku Klux Klan showing up as Democrats. DUH. The KKK HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DEMOCRATS!!! Ask Senator Byrd. Remember the term Copperhead? They were the Northern "Peace" (Surrender) Democrats who ran McClelland against Lincoln to sue for peace in the Civil War.
In the South, Conservative Democrats (The Southern analog of the Copperheads) were the foundation of the KKK. These people were completely invested in Racism. The Democrat party and this strain of rabid Racism is almost as old as the party.
When Kennedy imposed desegregation on the South, some conservatives who were upset about states rights left to join the Republican Party. This shift was interpreted by some as the Republican Party taking on the racism of the South in the person of folks like Jessie Helms and Strom Thurmond. But in fact, the Republican party inherited only part of the southern conservative philosophy (self-determination and strict constructionism) that these folks felt passionately about and the Democrats kept the racism.
The Republican party formed almost exclusively to advance the Abolitionist (the inherent rights of every human) and conservative (pro-business, free market) philosophy that was espoused by folks like William Wilberforce in England. President Eisenhower was the first to enforce desegregation and Republicans were the force behind all of the Civil Rights legislation over the objections of the Democrats.
Anyone who doesn't understand this need only look at a picture of the Clinton cabinet.
Democrats are nearly the definition of the old Brown-shirts now a days.
So its no surprise that we find thugs running around serving these folks. Breaking into offices, slashing tires, threatening people's lives. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Which makes it all so odd who keeps helping them. But, there are reasons. Like the Republican's behavior before and during WWII which was abysmal (Isolationism and Appeasement) This lead to 50 years of domination of the Congress by the Democrats.
But, Democrats are making this same mistake again, repeating the "glory" of Vietnam they think, but instead reaping the whirlwind of the being the "Anti-American" party in the fullness of time. Unless Big Sister wins, and ends this messy freedom stuff.
