Malkin: Debunking Domestic Terrorism of "Right wingers"
It is alarming that in the wake of the recent jewish center murders the media is on a tear to ban rightwing websites. Where was this outcry following the Boston bombings or Fort Hood? Where is the outcry over the origins of Planned Parenthood's mission? Why not point out the KKK was founded by democrats and originally as the bloody arm of the democratic party up through and including Senator Byrd?
We be good.

So, what I think needs attention is the process by which the labeling (both conservative and liberal) takes place. IF an organization claims affiliation with a deed AND the perpetrators of that deed claim association with that organization THEN one can label the deed as being sorted into the pile of things that were 'done by that organization'. The only such labels that I am aware of have been by Islamic extremists. All of the other deeds should be sorted into a slot that I will call "Trash" (because that is the best term I can come up with).
Therefore my Venn diagram is pleasantly simplified because the deeds done are not co-labeled by any of the groups to which I feel I relate.

Think about it: if churches suddenly become taxable entities, how many of them would cease to exist overnight? I'd wager nearly all of them, which is what makes the IRS targeting scandal one of the most pernicious and threatening gestures the Federal Government could possibly make. Where else are basic community policy decisions regarding personal rights and liberties taught than in Sunday School? Public education - which is already controlled by government interests. What you are doing is legislating against a competitor for the very ideas and reasoning of your populace!
What an utterly chilling thought.
I agree that the test - especially if administered by the Feds - would be a bad idea. The suggestion was a tongue-in-cheek jab at the vast majority of Americans who have no idea the privileges they enjoy here and are therefore ignorant of the threats to those privileges.
So what can the KKK truly claim to be? A Racist controlled enforcement arm of the democratic party. The thugs with the torches and clubs who burnt and beat black people by the orders of men like Byrd and him fellows. He and men who thought like him curly abused a entire class of people who shared one characteristic - they were black.
Maph - for some reason you seem to have succumbed to the leftist propaganda that claims that Dems were not ever a part of the KKK. You have been fooled.
It's really a simple matter of determining your first principles and applying those principles to any situation you find yourself in or aware of. If you don't put the work into understanding fully, your basic principles, then you often become lost in the weeds sprouted by your opponents.
