the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST is the MOST-used symbol of the kkk;perhaps ole' lugsoul would ban (or change it to a different and "less politically sensitive" item) it too.

BTW, the national HQ of the KKK is in Butler,IN.

Exactly.

The Ku Klux Klan in it's heyday in the 1920's, 30's and 40's was a nationwide racist organization with, as I understand it, about 75% of it's members being non-Southern.

The Stars and Stripes and not the Southern Cross was always the traditonal flag of the Ku Klux Klan for the simple reason that the Grandpa of the 1930's Klansman in Ohio, Indiana or Illinois had worn a Union uniform and not a Confederate uniform.

If you look at the photos of the giant Washington, DC Ku Klux Klan rallies of the 1930's, you will see a sea of Stars and Stripes down the parade rout but not a single Southern Cross.

During my life, I lived 20 years in Florida, one year in Georgia, one year in Maryland and two years in South Carolina. Maybe I was hanging around the wrong places but, after living all those years in Southern states as a Catholic and an immigrant starting in 1960, I have never in my life seen a Ku Klux Klansman in uniform or an individual that admited to being a Klansmen.

They can't be all that common.

It seems that all it takes for the Politically Correct crowd to declare that a historical emblem of military valor is equivalent to the swastika symbol of the regime that caused the death of 40 million people in Europe is to have a few thousand radical wingnuts decide that they are going display it.

Unless, of course, the radical wingnuts display the Stars and Stripes or the Christian Cross. If that is the case, the Political Correctniks don't even bring up the subject as it demonstrates how ridiculous that argument is.
