I don't always agree with your positions, Larry, but appreciate that you state them respectfully and thoughtfully, and here you raise a very salient point.  I will add that the North Carolina GOP recently condemned the KKK in clear and forceful terms that leave zero room for doubt that they want nothing to do with it.  This did not receive the attention it deserved.  Those of us that want to push back against the present spike in white supremacist activity need to recognize that this is a value that transcends partisan divides.  I do not believe the majority of conservatives are racist.  I do believe, in the present climate, that too few conservatives have spoken out against the racists who have affiliated themselves with their movement.  So when they do speak out, I will praise them for it.  The NC GOP did the right thing.
