No, the one when an invading yankee army marched into Va.

Only if your calendar runs backwards for a week:O:
Still I suppose its better than that "War of Northern Aggression" neo confederate claptrap which started getting thrown around in the 1950s when them damn negroes were getting a bit uppity about their civil rights down south.

Oh and Jim

Can we all stay on topic please
it is on topic, the Klan picked up on using that 1950s claptrap again at the end of the 70s with their more "modern" manifestation of the same old white supremacist bollox.

Well, my one ggg grandpappy fought for the South as a cause, the other one remained neutral living in the mountains of then Va. The yankees stole his brothers horses a few months after the war started. He joined Mosby and was later hung.

I do agree, the KKK is disgusting. I hate when they come here and do a rally once a year.

Disgusting they may be, but they do have rights of assembly (T&C apply) and the right of free speech(T&C apply). As long as they don't cross the lines of those conditions they can do as they like

To divert slightly. There was an idiot from bandit country up in Belfast court yesterday over some old flag waving civil war nonsense.
Pretty standard stuff he is charged with, incitement to hatred, incitement to commit crimes, illegal assembly, illegal possession of a weapon, obstructing traffic...he claims that those British laws are only meant to apply to muslims:rotfl2:

Ya mean Clark Gable and Yvonne de Carlo in 'Band of Angels'; Thomas Jefferson 'stirrin the stock' or just a routine 'Mandingo fantasy'- nobody uses 'serve da massa' anymore; please be politically correct! :o

Interesting historical sidenote. The largest membership of the Klan outside of the South was in southern Oregon.:dead:

I Know there will always be some that find them interesting and want to hear them speak.

Seems like the wise thing to do really. These sort of movements strive for media and public attention. If you don't like them - deny them what they want.
