The Ku Klux Klan is throwing its support behind Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s fight against gay marriage, urging “the God fearing people of Alabama” to resist federal tyranny.

In a statement from the website of the United Dixie White Knights, the Klan “salutes Alabama’s chief justice Roy Moore, for refusing to bow to the yoke of Federal tyranny,” claiming the “Feds have no authority over individual States marriage laws.”

The statement makes reference to “fudgepackers from Hollywood” and the “Imperialist, Communist Homosexual agenda.”

The statement laments that “the 2nd war for independence was lost in 1865” a reference to the Civil War which freed the American slaves in the South, and asks “the God fearing people of Alabama” to resist “the outside forces that have ruled this nation since the end of the War of Northern Aggression.”

The following is the full text of the statement:

The Mississippi Klan salutes Alabama’s chief justice Roy Moore, for refusing to bow to the yoke of Federal tyranny. The Feds have no authority over individual States marriage laws. The fudgepackers from Hollywood and all major news networks are in shock that the good people from the heart of Dixie are resisting their Imperialist, Communist Homosexual agenda! Alabama has a Constitutional amendment, that clearly says marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman. But much as they have since the 2nd war for independence was lost in 1865, the Federal Government by way of it’s foreign masters seems set to push this abomination, on the God fearing people of Alabama. Will they send Jack Booted thugs to enforce it? Remains to be seen, but a simple study of history will show they once burned, destroyed and looted the state of Alabama. Georgia was burned almost to the ground, and in our state, Meridian Mississippi was destroyed by blue bellied sledgehammers in one day. We call upon all Klansman and White Southern Nationalist to help in the massive protest’s coming, Not by wearing your colors, but by joining in with the Christian community’s protests that are surly coming against tyranical Federal judges. We have made the decision that we don’t want to distract attention away from the issue, as anytime the Klan rides, we are made the issue by the zionist controlled media. Members are encouraged to lend a hand, make signs, recruit etc., but leave any insignia, colors, shirts etc at the house. We want to infiltrate these protests and make sure they are kept running in military fashion and not bullied by the outside agitators. Let today be the day, that the outside forces that have ruled this nation since the end of the War of Northern Aggression be given notice, “The God fearing White man will no longer stand for your immorality, your Illegal unjust judges and laws. Your attempts to turn us into a third world cesspool must be defeated. Unlike the 1950’s and 60’s we see you clearly for the enemy you are. Until we drive the spear of God and truth through your lying cold black hearts, the Klan will leave the light on for you.”

It is no surprise that Christian extremists like the KKK oppose same sex marriage and have no respect for federal law. And Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is a powerful leader in the radical, anti-gay movement of Christian extremists.

Moore has a reputation as a Christian extremist with little respect for the federal government or the U.S. Constitution, and is quoted as once saying:

“the Supreme Court cannot supersede God, simply because the United States is a Christian nation.”

In 2003, as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Moore refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Judicial Building despite orders to do so from a federal judge. On November 13, 2003, the Alabama Court of the Judiciary unanimously removed Moore from his post as Chief Justice. However, he was re-installed in office in January, 2013.

Last May, in an appalling display of constitutional ignorance, Moore declared that the First Amendment only applied to Christians while speaking to a pro-life group.

Recently Moore promised to defy any federal ruling in support of same-sex marriage ,urging Governor Robert Bentley and other state officials to join him in resisting the “tyranny” of federal courts overturning the state’s ban on gay marriage.
