Idaho Man Creates KKK Snowman Holding Noose

Mark Eliseuson is knows for trumpeting white supremacy with Aryan-themed flags. But now he’s taken it one step further: he’s built a KKK snowman, complete with a noose, steps away from an elementary school:
Idaho’s KXLY reports:
The homeowner who had the offensive snow sculpture in front of his home is Mark, who was profiled by KXLY back in July when he posted flags ranging from an Aryan Nations flag to an SS flag at his home, drawing the ire of his neighbors. Then in October he angered residents further when, according to neighbors, he passed out bullets on Halloween. Mark refuted his neighbors claims, saying he didn’t actually pass out bullets, but rather he passed out bullet casings, and only did so after he ran out of candy.
A self-described white separatist, Mark, who declined to give his last name during an interview in July, said Wednesday there was nothing wrong with his snowman.
He said he put the snowman on his front lawn about a week ago. At first the snowman was much smaller, but someone attempted to knock it over within the last day or two, so he rebuilt it. It was about 10 feet tall Wednesday morning.
Mark lives about 100 yards away from Hayden Meadows Elementary School and several concerned parents called authorities about the snowman. Two Kootenai County sheriff’s deputies went to his home Wednesday and said there is a statute in Idaho against hanging nooses, which could have led to a criminal complaint against Mark if the noose hadn’t been removed from the sculpture.

I am white and have nothing to be ashamed of and I’m getting tired of being maligned by other races. We can thank,“that thing that calls itself president” for the “new attitudes” and “uppityness” and I have to wonder,”Is a race war really that far off? What a f***ed up world.

Posted on December 3, 2010 at 10:31amI don’t agree with this, but Obama was supposed to bring this country together.
The truth is, because of Obama, we’ll see more of this.
In the 1800′s, America had immigration policies that encouraged “assimilation”, not today. Obama didn’t start this, but like Bush and Clinton, he can’t see, or doesn’t care, that many Americans are fed up with this cultural change. When Americans speak out, they are called racists—well, I’m afraid it will get worse.
Seeing my voting ballot in English and Spanish is more irritating now than before. In the 1980′s, in an Arizona federal court, the citizenship oath was given in Spanish instead of English………….

Idaho gets bad rap, but the people here are really more “live and let live‘ than anywhere else I’ve ever been. I saw Richard Butler and his ‘bodyguards’ refused service in a restaurant by a sweet grandmotherly type waitress. I saw ordinary citizens boo him in public. I saw most people at the parades boo and turn their backs when the supremists passed by. One of my friends bought the parade permit in CdA for the day they had theirs scheduled and held a clown parade instead. A brave woman who was shot at sued and got their compound seized and turned into a park. They keep trying to make a comeback, but it isn’t going to happen. We aren’t going to let it.

I am likewise sure that any fulfillment of his said view requires the destruction of the Constitution. All men are created equal… KKK, NAACP, La Raza (s/p?), add in your favorite racist hate-mongerers here. Each promotes one race over another, or at the detriment of others, and are thereby in direct opposition to the stated purpose of our governing documents.
Am I wrong? Strip away all your mealy-mouthed platitudes and look at the meat of it. Is the purpose of our Republic to guarantee anything other than freedom (combine Life with Liberty and you have freedom) and the right to try and be happy?

That would mean kkk, BP’s, LK’s, and many many other gangs out there that flaunt their racism would be in jail. But they’re not. Because they DO have the right to be as racist as they want to be.
