Just talked with my sister.... [View all]

and she inquired as to if I had watched the convention in tampa last week. Of course, I did, I told her. Then she replied that did I see what it really was. Asking as to what she meant, she said in the most observant form in insight,"brother, that was the biggest Klan Rally ever held in the world"
