Gettysburg national park grants KKK event permit

I know these people have the right to free speech. The KKK however is the antithesis of everything thousands of Union soldiers died for.

The Ku Klux Klan has been granted a permit to hold an event at Gettysburg National Military Park.

Park officials say the special-use permit was approved for a Maryland-based KKK group to exercise its First Amendment rights on Oct. 5. The afternoon event will be held on the lawn area north of Gen. George Meade's Headquarters.

1. There is a big KKKlan presence in Frederick Co, MD, which about a half hour south of

Gettysburg. Fortunately, they do not really have any influence in Maryland, unlike in other states.

4. "... The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget

what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom ..."

... we are springing to the call of our brothers gone before
shouting the battle cry of freedom
and we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more,
shouting the battle cry of freedom ...

5. Just another

vile group of armed American terrorists hiding behind the Constitution in order to promote hatred, racism, and violence.
