Please note: The picture of the co-founders of Save Heritage Indiana is deceptive. Nathan Roberts is NOT the Nick Roberts of the City Council. They are twins and could not be more different. (How does that happen?)

It was the picture on their website—I quoted the website, linked it too. So—-great conversation starter for a lot of people.

I will bet family gatherings are "complex".

So much mischaracterization of Save Heritage Indiana and the Bovino event. Check out this interview if you really want to learn: https://x.com/HeritageIndiana/status/2082881973614252199

Daniel, thank you for reading H4D and your comment.

My post was not about the event as much as it was about the lineage of white Christian nationalism and its shared roots with the Ku Klux Klan. My point in writing this post was to make an historic and well documented comparison of the movement of the KKK and the 21st century movement of white Christian nationalism.

As Mark Twain said, "history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." My post compared the patterns of the 20th century KKK with the patterns of your organization, the leaders you look up to, and the way you are describing the movement that you are hoping to 'flame'; the superiority of one race and religion, the intolerance of anything other--all wrapped in patriotism and religiosity.

I don't subscribe to X and so was unable to listen to your edited version of the WFYI interview.

Again, thank you for your comment. Diversity of opinion is the beauty of a pluralistic , democratic and civil society.

I will be in Fishers tomorrow, joining other grassroots groups and concerned citizens in our Hoosier Hospitality March and prayer vigil for our friends, family and neighbors who have died from the hands of ICE agents and in the inhumane conditions of the detention centers. Maybe our paths will cross.
