There really have been three Klans, the post-Civil Wat Klan, the Klan of the 1920s and the Klan of the 1960s.
All were segregationist, anti-federal government, terrorist organizations, certainly not a liberal political group.
Please help us understand your reasoning here.
Democrats.
I will have to be honest and say I wrote that particular segment of that post with an eye to tweaking the noses of Democrats more than to be ideologically factual...:)
If I were striving for more honest dialogue rather than to inflame people I detest, I would say that the Democrats of 1960 and before were far to the right of many we see in power today, except that in general, they were STILL Statist, Socialist, Communist sympathizers. Problem is, THEY wouldn’t have a problem with that!
