Let them. Fine with me. I don't see the New Black Panthers or the NAACP adopting any highways. |

That's mostly a democrat organization isn't it? It sounds appropriately progressive to me. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march.

Another Klan group tried to do that near where I grew up many years ago. It's all about getting the organization's name on the sign along the roadway. That group was denied the advertising, and so should this one. |

If they want to adopt a road, they should really get one that goes through more a urban environment. Downtown Detroit could really use the help, for example. They could raise extra money televising them attempting to clean up, preferably wearing the old cap and gown. |

Great idea. Let's start banning all the people we do not agree with from doing good things. How about MoveOn, CodePink or the Log Cabin Republicans? The problem with that is there is nowhere to stop. That is why organizations such as the Klan are allowed to exist. If we can get some good out of them I dont see the problem. |

One would think. But, on the other hand, would we prefer they change to some more innocuous name where we might not identify them for who they are? |

The Ku Klux Klan is hardly just "people we disagree with." I think a pretty good criterion for whether a group's name should be accepted by the program, and emblazoned along public roadways would be if they're officially listed as a hate or terrorist group. Allowing the Klan to use this program to give the impression that they're just another civic-minded organization would be ridiculous. |

Maybe we can get the Catholics to shut down all the hospitals and orphanages. |

Whose 'official' list is that? Are they then on the no-fly list? Is that list a basis on which to deny them rights? There are a lot of groups on the ATF list, including animal and environmental groups, black separatists, white supremacists, all sorts of wackos. It does not change these people's legal status in any way. Personally I'd rather have them where we can see them. It's a better control. |

Didn't they used to murder and brutalise people based on the colour of their skin? Or is that a completely different KKK? The History Channel's gone way downhill recently, so I'm never sure what to believe. |

I can see them just fine without having their name posted as being sponsors of a stretch of road. This program doesn't do anything to make it easier to keep on top of what they're up to. You see it as a matter of the group's rights. I believe that there is no inalienable right for any group to participate in the program. I believe that there are groups who should not benefit from publicity (and some degree of image-building) by participation in the program, not merely because their ideas and their speech are offensive, but their actions have historically been, and continue to be, physically violent. That's the line I draw, and I think it's a pretty good and reasonable one. |

I suspect they haven't looked at the small print of the US Constitution - maybe the guy who they pay to read it out to them is visually impaired? |

S'okay, John: It's probably difficult for them to hear clearly anyway, what with their heads lodged so far up their arses. |

I agree they have their collective head firmly lodged up their ass. But I also think the precedent and eventual cost of starting to believe we can exclude groups we don't like from civic minded programs is a worse than allowing it. |

I think the blacks and the Jews need to get together and start going after the KKK. I would laugh. A lot. |
