    No, the KKK was an arm of the anti-American/anti-Republican rebels, the Democratic Party and the CSA. While ordinary American Democrats have changed the character of the DP and its leaders has not changed much at all.

    KKK/neo-Nazi leaders almost always support any Democrat over any Republican.

    "The corporations are running things now, so it's not going to make much difference who's in there, but McCain would be much worse. He's a warmonger. He's a scary, scary person--more dangerous than Bush. Obama, according to his book, Dreams Of My Father, is a racist and I have no problem with black racists. I've got the quote right here: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's white race.'“

    KKK wasn't anti American. They were anti Black.

    David Duke won a party set in congress as a Republican. He was former KKK leader.
    neo Nazi's today, support tRUMP today. He's given them a platform.

    Not too many I would think. I believe Martin Luther King was a Republican.

    No, the KKK was created by anti-American secessionist rebels. It became the paramilitary terrorist arm of the "new" Democrat Party.

    The DP remains the party of racists, racism and bigotry. The anti-racist Left is finally abandoning the DP - many voted for Trump.

    “Keith Ellison, Sally Boynton Brown or Jehmu Greene would all be excellent choices — I really like Keith though … I mean, at least he knows,” former Klan leader David Duke wrote on his Twitter page.” Anti-Semite David Duke Endorses Keith Ellison for DNC Chair, POLITICS, February 15, 2017.
    http://sourcesnews.com/anti-semite-david-duke-endorses-keith-ellison-for-dnc-chair/

    The DP/MSM slanders Trump with the charge of racism, and the KKK/neo-Nazis would like that if it was true, but Trump's close association with and support for the Jewish people, Israel, and black Americans makes him the most formidable enemy of white racists that we have had in the White House for decades.

    Not likely a KKK member.
    But very liberal.

    No. Today that falls with tRUMP and his Klan. The racists abandoned the DP. If there was any abandonment.

    The US was not at war with the USSR.

    Saudi Arabia is a rather typical religious dictatorship - there is opposition and dissent in the KSA. It is on the Big Government end of the spectrum. Obviously less oppressive than totalitarian Communism and National Socialism.

    Do you know the difference between a dictatorship and a totalitarian regime?

    In fact, southern Republicans and other Unionists in the South defeated several votes for secession before open warfare began in SC.

    MLK was not active in partisan politics, but he was certainly a liberal, and almost certainly a supporter of John Kennedy.

    He would probably support most if not all of Trump's policies - they were all supported by liberal Democrats less than a decade ago. The DP has slipped into angry incoherence - not something MLK would have been comfortable with.

    Duke did not actually endorse Trump, but like most Klansmen he did support Obama over McCain.

    The KKK/Nazis are into racialism which is why Duke could not endorse Trump, and why white racists tend to support Democrats over Republicans. Trump is pro-black, pro-Israel, and pro-Jew.

    "Trump first said he would have to research who Duke and his group were before disavowing, then blamed a faulty earpiece, before finally disavowing multiple times.
    As a result of the hesitancy, he has been attacked multiple times by different media personalities as well as rival Democrats and members of his own party.

    However, a newly surfaced NPR interview with David Duke from 2008 indicates that there may be a double standard at work.
    That’s because David Duke — yes, the same David Duke — “endorsed” President Obama in 2008, and no one ever asked him to disavow.

    Now before getting into the “endorsement,” it’s important to note that Duke’s endorsement of Trump was not a formal endorsement. He even went as far to say, “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump.”

    “In fact,” he continued, “I haven’t formally endorsed him."

    Greta, Joe, and the Ukraine didn't pan out very well for them.
    They probably needed a breather. ;-)

    NOT a Chance.

    Although, speculating about the motives of someone who died 51 years ago seems like a fun game.

    I will take your 51 and raise you 103...

    If Abe Lincoln was Alive he would be a Democrat.

    The "Angry Incoherence" of Reddit and Twitter RW Fever Swamp Trolls--Would be something that Lincoln would have not been comfortable with.

    Hey libs, did it ever occur to you that for the rest of this little child’s life she’d be remembered for saying programmed propaganda rather than ‘redrum?’

    Felt sorry for her. It seemed she totally believed everything she said. But, she was so unknowlageable about the Science of climate change.

    Who needs knowledge when there is emotion? All she did was blubber about how life sucks......it probably does for her.

    Trump didn’t write anything insulting. He just noted that this girl lives in a prosperous nation at the most prosperous time.
    Is this another nothingburger outrage from the left? If I were the president I wouldn’t even give as much as a tweet on tweeter about her.
    Sorry, too young to have any meaningful conversation over this. Go back to school. Bye!

    Apparently the LW think it a hate crime to question the lass. If you can't stand the heat sweetie, get out of the kitchen.
