After reading the articles (June 4) regarding the Truth & Reconciliation report ad nauseam, I found nothing unexpected in the outcome. The Commission's pre-ordained mission was to elevate these communists to sainthood, failing miserably to do so.
I was interested in two facets of the report. I noted that the American Communist Party is the "peaceful" chapter of this international terrorist group and that they demand a monument be erected to their dead comrades on U.S. soil. A communist is the same no matter where he or she resides. Their goal is your freedom and the destruction of the United States unless we kowtow to their fruitcake ideas. They may erect their memorial in Cuba, a more fitting site for their ilk.
Nothing in this event has changed over the years. A group of communists picked a fight with the Klan and neo-Nazis. They got exactly what they went after and that is the end of it, or at least ought to be. The best monument to all three of these terrorist groups is to dump them on the trash heap of history and forget them.

This whole TRC issue reminds me of wild animals fighting over rotted carrion.
When it was buried it didn't stink and wasn't causing a ruckus. TRC dug it up and wants to keep it while others vociferously disagree and want to drag it off to dispose of it again.

I can't agree with this writer more. I remember when it happened thinking that these three groups of crazies got exactly what they wanted.

Well the commies did hold a "Death to the Klan" rally. Just turns out the klansmen had better marksmenship.
Great letter Mr. Millar.

If the TRC had clearly stated what their goal was for this process, the rest of us might have been more supportive. The problem with the group pushing this agenda is that the whole exercise was an emotional pursuit, nothing tangible can result from that type of process.
