Stay or Leave?

South Korea? Iraq? Also: Sublime ridicule. Signs of resolve. Islam found innocent. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 13)

The KKK was a potent, honored southern tradition until one man got every kid in the Klan to shame his dad into leaving. He had infiltrated the Klan, mapped their organization, found out all their secret passwords, signs, recognition signals and handshakes. He approached state and national authorities who said they could do nothing.

So he went guerilla. He contacted the writers of the Superman radio show. They had just about worn out the idea of fighting Nazis and Communists. They thought the idea of fighting the KKK was a great idea.

The first week after Superman started fighting the Klan, the meetings were packed. "My kids are going around giving out our passwords and secret handshakes. They want to be Superman and fight us. I feel like an idiot," was the theme.

So they changed the passwords and the day after the meeting, Superman was using the new passwords. Afraid their kids would find their robes, the vast majority of KKK members left within 3 months. The organization has been basically powerless ever since.

Bravo. Both the left and the terrorists are very vulnerable to ridicule.
