It's true....that's why all klan members are Republican![]()
The anti-fascists never came, but pro-Confederate protesters at the Civil War battlefield were still angry, and heavily armed.
GETTYSBURG, Pa. ― A few hundred armed militia group members, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Ku Klux Klaners, supporters of President Donald Trump, and other self-described patriots descended upon the Gettysburg battlefield Saturday to defend the site’s Confederate symbols from phantom activists with the violent far-left group Antifa.
Some carried semi-automatic rifles ― permitted in Pennsylvania ― as they peered out across the battlefield with binoculars, on the lookout for the black-clad, face-masked anti-fascists, anarchists and socialists they said they had heard were traveling to the national park to dishonor Confederate graves, monuments and flags.
Although many came expecting violence ― even after Antifa made it clear its adherents never planned to show up ― the only bloodshed came when a lone militia group member accidentally shot himself in the leg.

This seems like a sad and hateful way to celebrate Independence Day. What do you think...?
Total bullshit. Why does the left pretend that the KKK is on the right? And why does the left keep trying to convince people that NRA members want to fight with people?
It's the leftist groups out there being violent. This articles is all conjecture and no facts. Someone saw protesters and just made shit up to make the right look crazy.
The KKK platform and the Republican platform are nearly identical
We don't even need the klan anymore
You should be ashamed of yourself, for your vile race baiting.
Official Ku Klux Klan Party Platform IS The GOP And Tea Party Agenda | Addicting Info | The Knowledge You Crave
The official platform of the Knight’s Party (KKK) also includes the following:
1. “The recognition that America was founded as a Christian nation.”
This is the first line from the official platform of the KKK. The underlying idea here is that if you accept the false premise that America was founded as a Christian nation, you will also accept the false (and unchristian) premise that it’s ok to hate, discriminate and segregate everyone who is not a Christian.
Where have heard this Christian nation stuff before? Fox News, Tea Party representatives like Michelle Bachmann, talk show personalities like Rush Limbaugh and everywhere else right wing propaganda is spun. From the Official Tea Party website:
“The Tea Party includes those who possess a strong belief in the foundational Judeo-Christian values embedded in our great founding documents.”
2. “The recognition that America was founded as a white nation.”
As Mitt Romney would say, it’s the ‘Anglo-saxon heritage‘ white people share with the people of Europe, that President Obama just can’t understand. We can see this as clear as day in this recent article about the situation in Ferguson, which appeared in the Tea Party Tribune on August 20. There’s also the non-stop revisionist history lessons taking place on Fox News.
. 3. “Abolish all affirmative action programs.”
White people are being discriminated against. It’s totally unfair to white people if other people are given a fair chance. Again, we see this propaganda being disseminated via Fox News, republican politicians, and of course, republican talk radio personalities.
4. “Put American Troops on the Borders and Stop the Flood of Illegals.”
“America is being over run by illegal immigrants mostly from nonwhite countries who do not share the Christian European values of our nation’s founders.”
Is there any doubt that the republican and tea parties are pushing this part of the KKK agenda?
5. “Abolish all anti-gun laws and encourage every adult to own a weapon.”
This sounds remarkably similar to the position of the GOP and tea party.
6. “Drug testing all welfare recipients.”
Again, a policy strongly promoted by GOP and tea party politicians, pundits and media personalities. It has been struck down by federal courts because the idea behind it is deeply rooted in stereotypes and racist ideas.
7. “Balance the budget.”
Yes this is a part of the official KKK platform.
8. “Privatization of the public school system.”
“We must remove the humanist influence in our schools and teach fact based curriculum to further the students knowledge not someone’s opinion. Parents should have the option of private or home schooling if they prefer and students should be free to practice their Christian faith in the classroom.”
In it’s official platform, the KKK states that the group wants to abolish the National Education Association and children’s protective services, as well.
As Adolph Hitler said “Give me the text books and you give me the country.”
