I don't understand something...the KKK is considered a group of terrorists(whom in my own opinion all deserve to be shot), and yet Bush does nothing about them, despite his "War on Terror". What bullshit...
It is because the US military cannot operate to enforce laws in America. only on military bases. So if he can't send the troops to fight them he doesn't want to do it. The only thing he can use is homeland security and the FBI.
As for those who say they want 100% American, it is their definition that they want not necessarily the American Indians. These people were prosecuted for both their paganism and their race. The KKK was for promoting a system of good moral beliefs, Christian beliefs that they held. They had many different interpretations of the bible like Jesus was Aryan not a Jew, but against the Jews, and such.
They were also against communism, that is why they were anti-union and wanted this stupid law past that stated basically that the pledge of allegiance will contain "under god" because communists were atheists. True they did not start the proposed amendment, that was started by an anti-communist organization, but they supported it all the same.
Just because one admires a group does not mean he admires everything that they do, Many great leaders have admired their enemies, it does not mean that they liked what they did.
I personally admired Hitler for his military tactical prows. Vlad Tepes is beloved in his own country for trying to save the people from the Turks, even though he ruled over them with a bloody iron fist.
