is aesthetically
> disgusting, most realized that this decision was a
victory for free speech
>
> and equal protection under the law.
>
> Well, the Department of Transportation in Missouri
has gotten its legal
> revenge, and boy is it sweet. True, they can't remove
the KKK's

> The KKK is now regularly cleaning up a stretch of the
