Over the
last several months, a few liberal democrats (intentional lowercase
“d” to show my absolute disrespect for them) have acquired
diarrhea of the mouth and calling Republicans and conservatives the
dreaded “R-word” - racists. They've focused on the Tea Party in
particular, which is pretty strange considering there's a great many
prominent black conservatives who identify with the Tea Party. Kevin
Jackson, Allen West, Herman Cain, Mia Love, Reverend C. L. Bryant, to
name a few.
The word
“racist” is thrown around so often anymore that it's becoming
quite meaningless. Personally, having that particular pejorative
hurled at me is almost a badge of honor. What it tells me is that
the user has nothing left to bring to the table; their “facts”
have been proved false, their opinions obliterated. Their house of
cards has fallen. When someone charges ME with racism, I know I've
won.
Why do I
bring this up, you ask? It's pretty simple, really. Democrats
always like to forget – very conveniently, I might add – their
party's sordid history of racism. They like to transfer their own
misdeeds onto the Republican party, apparently not realizing that
it's all a matter of historical record. They truly never cease to
amaze me.
Take
good ole Representative Charlie Rangel, for instance. Six or seven
days ago, the New York democrat, in a decidedly stunning display of
idiocy,
declared that Tea Party members are, and I quote, “mean, racist
people....Because in those red states, they're the slave-holding
states. They had the Confederate flag. They're now the Tea Party;
they still got the Confederate [flag]. I don't think that's a
coincidence.” Of course, we all know just how active the states of
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska really
were during the Civil War (that would be not at all for those of you
who believe as Rangel does). Let's not mention that both Virginia
and Florida, states that actually WERE in the Confederacy, were
carried by the Constant Campaigner in 2012. That can be our little
secret, OK?
For the
record, I think Charlie Rangel is an idiot of the highest magnitude;
a crayon-eating, window-licking buffoon. He is one of the poster
children for what ails this nation, and I really don't think that can
be stated often enough, or over-emphasized. To call the “red
states” out as racist, simply because some of them USED to be part
of the Confederacy, just smacks of stupidity.
With all
that being said, I'd like to review the democrats LLLOOONNNGGG
history of racism. And because it's so long, I'm going to split it
up into what I hope are tolerable portions. I hope that this can
help you educate those that will listen. Part one starts right now:
Let's call a spade a spade, shall we? And by that, I ONLY mean call something WHAT IT IS (and it's really sad I have to explain that).
Racism
in this country still exists, in an institutionalized form, much like
the very real slavery of the past. It's hard to say that, but it's
true. That being said, I know most of our fans know where, and from
whom, collectively, it originates and resides today. If you just
said liberals/progressives/democrats, you'd be absolutely correct.
This post is more for the liberals I *know* are watching the page
right now.
Here are
just a few examples:
- Dr. Benjamin Carson has been called “Uncle Tom” how many times, by how many people on the left?
- Alfonzo Rachel has been accused of trying to be “too white.”
- Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Mia Love, Condi Rice, Herman Cain – hell, even Colin Powell way back when – ALL of them vilified by the left.
What do
these people all have in common? They all either ARE, or lean
heavily to, the RIGHT (Colin Powell not so much anymore). These
people REFUSE, and rightfully so, to place themselves in any kind of
“box.” They simply are who they are – AMERICANS.
Some
believe that to be conservative, you must BE racist, that what you
want to “conserve” is the deep-south, pre-Civil War, plantation
slavery mentality, and nation we had. If you look at actual HISTORY,
nothing could be further from the truth.
In 1865,
Republicans pass the 13th Amendment, ending slavery. 100% of
Republicans vote for it.
Even among northern Democrats, it receives the support of only 23%.
Even among northern Democrats, it receives the support of only 23%.
In 1866,
Democrats form the KKK with the express purpose of preventing the
election of Republicans in the South. Democrats admit - under oath in
Congressional hearings in 187 - that the Klan is a Democrat creation
intended to restore Democrat control of the South. The Klan carries
out this plan by means of a series of massacres at Republican Party
meetings. Their purpose was to kill Republicans, to drive
Republicans from the South, and to prevent blacks from voting or
serving as elected officials. They killed a
lot of people.
Three
years after Appomattox, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,
granting blacks citizenship in the United States, came before
Congress: 94 percent of Republicans endorsed it.
The
first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic
National Convention, and no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to
grant citizenship to former slaves.
These
are but a few - and more importantly, WELL DOCUMENTED - examples of
Democrat racism in the years immediately after the Civil War. The
list is really quite long. ~ Hunter
