The Klan Got Shutdown, Literally!

The Klan can't catch a break.

The federal shutdown has affected national parks and the far right hate group couldn't make its appointment to the Gettysburg Military Historical National Park.

It's not only a horrible situation for millions of Americans who planned trips to our natural and historical wonders but an impact on the economy because of stubborn asshole lawmakers who would wreck it in order to defeat President Barack Obama.

The park is closed and all permits for special events in October have been rescinded, including the Oct. 5 First Amendment demonstration to be held by the Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said a park news release. The group had received a special use permit to gather on the lawn north of Meade’s Headquarters along Taneytown Road.

Permits for at least 11 events in October have been rescinded, said Katie Lawhon, management assistant at Gettysburg National Military Park, noting that the list was as of two weeks ago.

I mean it's almost sad that I kind of defend the Klan. Millions of Americans planned trips, marriage proposals, school trips, vacations and numerous activities. All of that squashed.

They have the right to promote their hatred. But due to the government ineffectiveness, I guess their hate will be back in the woods of some private property. This not only them, but thousands of visitors of the national parks.
