“Engraving of Ku Klux Klansmen first published in 1884. The engraving replicates an 1870 photograph taken under the direction of deputy U.S. marshal J. G. Hester, who seized the disguises of arrested North Carolina Klansmen and had the photo taken as a demonstration of what the Klan reportedly did to a white Republican, John A. Campbell” (Wikimedia Commons, public domain)

(Mar. 10, 2025) — “From the river to the sea” – Chortled slogan of Hamas

One of the darkest chapters of United States history was the Ku Klux Klan, known as the KKK, that was formed shortly after the Civil War. The sole purpose was hatred for all non-white and non-Christians. By the late 1920s, the KKK’s membership was upwards of eight million, but factionalism and with the awakening of the American public against intolerance, the KKK now has shrunk to around 3,000 nincompoops. They operate today in hiding and insignificance. Americans are generally wise and tolerant people and won’t put up with unbridled hatred indefinitely. However, hatred is resilient and can sprout in uneducated minds.

America is quickly becoming besieged by a reincarnation of hatred that is embedded in the radical supporters of Hamas which have now occupied several Ivy League universities. They are the embodiment of anti-Semitism which is the hatred of Jews and the nation of Israel. As the Klan wore white hoods to hide their identity and to instill fear, these Hamas supporters hide their faces with keffiyeh tablecloths for similar reasons. Hyper-Liberalism has neutered a large swath of the Baby Boomer generation which now lead many of these institutions into fear and inaction against this burgeoning hatred. The only hope is that the occupiers are unmasked and identified. If they are on visas, their Green Cards should be invalidated and deported. If they are not students, they should be fined or jailed for trespassing. If they are students, they should be placed on probation for hate crimes. Hatred can be defeated.

Anti-Semitism has been around for centuries, but the Hamas brand is an echo of the Third Reich. The bonfires lit at night are reminiscent of the book burnings in late ’30s Berlin. Tuition-paying Jews have been blocked from attending classes as well as losing their freedom of movement. An American Kristallnacht cannot be far behind. The deluded Hamas supporters chant, “From the river to the sea,” which they believe to be a call for the destruction of Israel but its meaning is much more insidious. For those who heed the lessons of history, it also instills memories of millions of murdered Jews who were gassed and incinerated in Auschwitz where their cremated ashes flowed from the Vistula River to the Baltic Sea. One expects them to soon be chanting, “From 125th Street to the Hudson River, Harlem shall be free.”

Facism comes in many colors. Another mutation of the KKK is the modern Democratic Party, specifically the Pepto Bismol ladies of the State of the Union who professed to support women. Just one day earlier, these hypocrites voted unanimously to allow men to beat the tar out of women in sports, both literally and figuratively. Democrats and the Hamas Insurrectionists are blinded by hatred and incapable of reason and dialog. The Democratic Party has lowered itself into becoming a monolithic morass of intolerance and incompetence where they couldn’t applaud the celebration of a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor or the capture of the ISIS Abbey Gate bomber or commiserate with the families of murdered daughters by Illegals.

Just as the KKK was eventually reduced to insignificance, these Haters should be revealed and ostracized. If the Democratic Party doesn’t clean itself up, it will go the way of the Whig Party.

If the Dems don’t clean up the act, then …?

I’ll settle for them going the way of the Whig Party without the “if.”

The KKK was the offspring of the Democratic Party.

The problem is, they don’t care. I mean, they REALLY don’t care.
It’s like talking to the cat. What’s the point?
Trump asked a released Oct. 7 hostage if they ever heard one kind word during their captivity. The reply?
None, zero, not happening.
1,600 years of hate, hate, hate, never-ending hate.
So there’s no chance of peace, never was, and never will be.
That much we understand, why can’t our politicians?
How come Omar hasn’t been deported? What are they afraid of?
Since Trump, we don’t need their oil anymore so what gives?
