"KKK - wrapped so much in christianity"
News heard this AM on Mississippi Public Radio about the trial of a Klansman in Jackson, Mississippi charged with the murder of two black teenagers way back in the 60's. A man was interviewed saying that reading the Klan constitution one might think it is a legitimate organization because its WRAPPED SO MUCH IN CHRISTIANITY instead of the hateful, destructive force that it is.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

1. Duh
Last week O'Really and McCain agreed on the air that the liberals "are trying to topple the white male Chistian power structure in this country". Sounds to me like O'Really and the KKK are on the same page.

2. They probably think that part of the Bible
Where Jesus says "Love Thy Neighbor" and "Judge Not Least Ye Be Judged"
was written by Freemasons and Liberals. :hi:

3. There must be a corresponding document
to the bible spelling out the justification for picking and choosing.

4. It should be no secret
I talked to a woman in her 90s who said she remembered a time when they would come into church openly in their white sheets and sit through the service. They were treated with respect.

5. I suspect that in some backwoods
areas in the south it still occurs today. And they voted for bush whom they now consider not conservative enough for them.
