My fellow weirdos, let us remember who we are, folk music enthusiasts who like to talk about the Hairy Ghoolie of Cleckie, and the giant squid. As the Cheshire cat said, "We're all mad here". Some of us are madder than others, (W. is NOT worshipping Moloch. He would never worship a deity whose name he couldn't spell.) They add color to our discussions.
The KKK was big all over the United States in the 1920s. They controlled the state of Indiana, and the Pittsburgh sheetheads sent my grandfather a threatening letter. Dad remembered finding it in the mailbox. (They did not carry through with their threat.)
