Yesterday I was walking into the local Wal-Mart. One truck had a sticker on the back “I belong to the Invisible Empire”. I looked up what that was–it’s the Klan.

I know the Ku Klux Klan has been active in my county in the not too distant past. One of their Grand Dragon’s used to live here. About 20 years ago or so, some kids found a bunch of Klan white hoods and cloaks in a barn.

I guess if you don’t look for the bad, you won’t know it’s around until it’s too late.

I haven’t seen one lately, but when the South Carolina took down their confederate flag, a few people up here made a point of having one flying from the back of their pick-ups–in northeast Indiana.

I even saw one on the motorcycle of someone who came to do some roadside assistance a few months ago. (Yes, roadside assistance on a motorcycle which was unique.) (I didn’t think to report it to the insurance company which would have been proper.)
