The Klu Klux Klan has applied to adopt a section of road in Georgia. They have been denied. While I am no fan of the ignorance perpetrated by this racist group-I have to wonder why they were denied. If the state of Georgia has any controversial organizations what so ever- they have some 'splaining to do. Don't think that I support the KKK in any way. I think that they are a deplorable batch of bigots too cowardly to show their faces. They take pleasure in the fear that they try to create. They are probably very small-if you know what I mean. I have known people who were only powerful when they were in a larger group, I think the cowardice they must face every day when they look in the mirror, must cause them many thousands of deaths.
That being said, who is Georgia to tell them no? I don't like a lot of groups. I think the Susan G. Komen folks are cowards who blinked in the face of Planned Parenthoods' unrelenting assault on murdering babies. I removed every pink ribbon that I had, and I sent them a letter with their last appeal for money telling them that I didn't want my money helping Planned Parenthood free up funds for their abortions. I'll bet that they have a few hunks of adopted highway.
I might not like what they stand for, but free speech is free speech. It doesn't protect you from things you don't want to hear. That's not what it means. And while I may disagree 100% with everything that the Klan says-I can't tell them that they can't say it. I just ignore it and try to marginalize them.
Those attention whores at Westboro Baptist Church who protest at military funerals have been beautifully marginalized. Every time a group of bikers sweeps them out of the area of concern- I cheer. If the KKK does in fact adopt a section of the highway-and you can bet the ACLU that they will-why don't the people of that area save their most disgusting trash for their section?
I can't imagine that the KKK will have much enthusiasm for picking up bags of dog poop that have been cooking in the hot Georgia sun. Not that I am advocating that-of course not.
You can't pick and choose you freedoms-you have to take them all. Be glad that we all live in a Republic that allows us all to say what we think(for now) regardless if it is politically correct. You'll thank me later.
