Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.
Just so the ignorant on this hack of a blog know the Republicans passed civil rights Bill in the 60's where only a few Democraps voted for it. Learn your history. The Republicans gave women the right to vote. Again, learn some history. The Democrats created the KKK to scare people into voting for Democrats. Democrats through thier KKK lynched both white and black people but nobody wants to learn the real history about the KKK.
Actually, the real problem is getting the snake-handling evangelical Baptist base of the ignorant RepubliKlan Party to accept the idea of a member of the mormon cult as a candidate.....they will all STAY HOME IN DROVES COME NOVEMBER 6th !
The strange pecadilloes of the cult will be revealed during the campaign, and the barefoot bumpkins South of the Mason-Dixon Line will realize they COULDN"T vote for a guy who follows the edicts of a "prophet" that puts a stone in his hat, buries his face in it, and then talks DIRECTLY TO GOD and gets 'revelations.'
For Ron----On June 19, 1963 President Kennedy sent his bill to Congress as it was originally written, saying legislative action was "imperative".[4][5] The president's bill first went to the House of Representatives, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Emmanuel Celler, a Democrat from New York. After a series of hearings on the bill, Celler's committee strengthened the act, adding provisions to ban racial discrimination in employment, providing greater protection to black voters, eliminating segregation in all publicly owned facilities (not just schools), and strengthening the anti-segregation clauses regarding public facilities such as lunch counters. They also added authorization for the Attorney General to file lawsuits to protect individuals against the deprivation of any rights secured by the Constitution or U.S. law. In essence, this was the controversial "Title III" that had been removed from the 1957 and 1960 Acts. Civil rights organizations pressed hard for this provision because it could be used to protect peaceful protesters and black voters from police brutality and suppression of free speech rights.
Kennedy called the congressional leaders to the White House in late October, 1963 to line up the necessary votes in the House for passage.[6]
Also for Ron---Voting rights for women were introduced into international law by the United Nations' Human Rights Commission, whose elected chair was Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that the Commission wrote.
Six well-educated Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee, created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, during Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War.[32][33] The name was formed by combining the Greek kyklos (κύκλος, circle) with clan.[34] The group was known for a short time as the "Kuklux Clan." The Ku Klux Klan was one among a number of secret, oath-bound organizations using violence, including the Southern Cross in New Orleans (1865) and the Knights of the White Camelia (1867) in Louisiana.[35]
Historians generally see the KKK as part of the post Civil War insurgent violence related not only to the high number of veterans in the population, but also to their effort to control the dramatically changed social situation by using extrajudicial means to restore white supremacy. In 1866, Mississippi Governor William L. Sharkey reported that disorder, lack of control and lawlessness were widespread; in some states armed bands of Confederate soldiers roamed at will. The Klan used public violence against blacks as intimidation. They burned houses, and attacked and killed blacks, leaving their bodies on the roads.[36]
Thanks to Mr Griffin and Val for the compliment. How the commentary afterwards devolves into more talking points about unrelated topics is curious. First, this is a cartoon, not a blog, hack or otherwise. Secondly my point is the long-known inevitability of the Romney nomination. If you read the elephant's head as a 'hood', you're wrong. Although that theory conveys a creativity that would be better applied towards a nom de plume not hacked from a Will Ferrell character.
A dozen-plus republican debates had lead the country in a collective 'yawn'; the upcoming campaign(s) and election will prove to be terribly exciting, or equally a sleeper as the gloves come off. Evidence of ridiculous topics like Romneys dog, et al, shows what politicans will do to get elected. The next six months are going to get nasty.. Charges of racism, diversion from the truth of the past 3+ years, and good 'ol fashioned political manuevering will take the lead. This election should not be based on personality, being cool, dogs, or an awesome three point shot.

Well done Mr Krebs! Can his fortune, and with the PAC funds help, buy the presidency of our country?
