Shocking how many black people vote democratic. Especially if you know US history. My family has been in the US since the 1600's. (before that for my Chrokee relatives).
And yet... Most people have been manipulated by their poor education to believe that the democratic party was opposed to the KKK.
Look back at which party was against the civil rights movement.
Primarily the democrats.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
Well, after the NAACP came out and called the Tea party "racists" I figured as one of the most photographed members of the Cincinnati Tea party (I was on the front page of 4 local papers for one of our largest tea parties.)
It is time for the public to get educated about who started the resurgence of the KKK.
"Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has falsely accused the Tea Party of having ties to the Ku Klux Klan. Speaking at the NAACP convention, she said: “All those who wore sheets a long time ago lifted them off to wear Tea Party clothing.”
Now is the time to speak some Truth to Power.
It would have been far more truthful for the congresswoman to have admitted the fact that all those who wore sheets a long time ago lifted them to wear Democratic Party clothing. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan was established by the Democratic Party. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan murdered thousands of Republicans — African-American and white – in the years following the Civil War. Yes, the Republican Party and a Republican President, Ulysses Grant, destroyed the KKK with their Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
How did the Ku Klux Klan re-emerge in the 20th century? For that, the Democratic Party is to blame.
It was a racist Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson, who premiered Birth of a Nation in the White House. That racist movie was based on a racist book written by one of Wilson’s racist friends from college. In 1915, the movie spawned the modern-day Klan, with its burning crosses and white sheets.
Inspired by the movie, some Georgia Democrats revived the Klan. Soon, the Ku Klux Klan again became a powerful force within the Democratic Party. The KKK so dominated the 1924 Democratic Convention that Republicans, speaking truth to power, called it the Klanbake. In the 1930s, a Democrat President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, appointed a Klansman, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL), to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the 1950s, the Klansmen against whom the civil rights movement struggled were Democrats. The notorious police commissioner Bull Connor, who attacked African-Americans with dogs and clubs and fire hoses, was both a Klansman and the Democratic Party’s National Committeeman for Alabama. Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), to third-in-line for the presidency.
Speaking more Truth to Power, the Republican Party has been a resolute enemy of the Ku Klux Klan, terrorist wing of the Democratic Party."

My mother was teaching kindergarden in Fayetteville NC during this time, as my father was stationed at Ft. Bragg. She had three black children in her class, and the KKK terrorized their class as they tried to leave each day. The police were useless and my mother litterally took her life into her hands by walking these three boys home each day, past the taunts and violence that they used against her for teaching these children. She recognized the voices of one of the most violent and abusive klan members who was also a democratic leader in the area. Crosses were burned in our yard monthly by these thugs. In fact, as a teenager, in the 80's I remember crosses being burned in my front yard as we always did things to help the poor, many of which were black.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation
So when Democrats try and spin that republicans or tea party members are KKK members. Just look at the facts. The rebirth of the KKK was started in the white house by a democrat.
" /wiki/Thomas_Dixon,_Jr. - Thomas Dixon , author of the source play /wiki/The_Clansman - The Clansman , was a former classmate of /wiki/Woodrow_Wilson - President Woodrow Wilson at /wiki/Johns_Hopkins_University - Johns Hopkins University . Dixon arranged a screening at the /wiki/White_House - White House , for Wilson, members of his cabinet, and their families. Wilson was reported to have commented of the film that "it is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true". In Wilson: the new freedom, Arthur Link quotes Wilson's aide, Joseph Tumulty, who denied Wilson said this and also claims that "the President was entirely unaware of the nature of the play before it was presented and at no time has expressed his approbation of it." #cite_note-12 - [13] However, Woodrow Wilson's History of the American People explained the Ku Klux Klan of the late 1860s as the natural outgrowth of /wiki/Reconstruction_era_of_the_United_States - Reconstruction , a lawless reaction to a lawless period. Wilson noted that the Klan "began to attempt by intimidation what they were not allowed to attempt by the ballot or by any ordered course of public action." #cite_note-13 - [14] In the film, approbation for the Klan, citing Wilson's History, is directly quoted.
Relentless in publicizing the film, Dixon was apparently the source for the quotation. It has been repeated so often in print that it has taken on a separate life. Dixon went so far as to promote the film as "Federally endorsed". After controversy over the film had grown, Wilson wrote that he disapproved of the "unfortunate production." #cite_note-14 - [15] D. W. Griffith responded to the film's negative critical reception with his next film /wiki/Intolerance_%28film%29 - Intolerance ."

As has been pointed out, there is nothing intellectually honest about
your post. Which is funny coming from someone who oft claims that
others are never honest in their posts.
- A massive political realignment happened where the lines of
liberal and conservative, and how they connect to the Democratic and
Republican parties, through the decades of the 1900s, coming to
fruition in the 1960s and 1970s.
- During that time of realignment, the Democratic party splintered
into the modern Democratic party and the southern Democrats, known as
the Dixiecrats.
- Statistically, the majority of the conservative southern Dixiecrats switched their party allegiance to the Republican party in the 70s and 80s - in response to Nixon's "Silent majority," and by the 90st
most of the registration switches were in place. That is why the deep
south, as it stands now, is hard to the Republican side.
- You talk about the various Civil Rights acts, remember it was a
"modern Democrat" who pushed for and signed the 1964 act. LBJ had to
strong arm a lot of southern Dixiecrats to get it done.
And the best part: I learned all of that in high school. Not even just
college, but in my junior and senior level high schools classes.

Wow, fail ensued rather quickly. Whale nailed all the bullet points. There are very few senators who didn't switch parties when the realignment occurred. Robert Byrd was one of the few who remained Democrat. For an excellent example of a KKK supporting Dem turned Republican, see Strom Thurmond.

More importantly than all else-isn't playing the race card kind of a left wing strategy anyway? Honestly, I rarely even hear liberals trying to trump up their blaxploitation game anymore.
This just goes back to my post a couple weeks ago, the right is the new left.
Now, if you want to get into the victimization of minority cultures that was popular on the left a few years ago, there's alot of truth to be had there.
There's a basic truth here, that bears mention in this thread though-
Conservative=Little Change
Liberal=Lots of Change
A very simplified way to look at two terms. There are times when conservatism is necessary (i.e. far reaching change with unknown results) and times when liberalism is necessary (i.e. the civil rights movement).
To attempt to credit either term to Republican or Democrat is silly. While Democrats have been notoriously liberal, while Republicans have been notoriously conservative, there are those in both who excercise the proper ideology at the proper time.

Do we actually have 'Party Re-Alignment'. In todays deep south there still is 'The Wrong Side of the Tracks' occupied by Blacks and then the more pure white areas. Many of these small towns in deep Mississippi, Alabama, Louisianna, which are predominantly lead by Democrat Mayors and City Councils have not re-aligned. Ask any Black Family that has the means or desire to move into many areas of the South for jobs, and the reception given by city 'officials'. Have picked up and delivered truck loads in small towns where there is a very distinct line, one of the worst I saw was Conway, Arkansas, where except for the 1950's signage the 'rules' still applied. Columbus, Georgia was and still is a city with a very distince 'policy' of who lives where, even minority military familes (Ft. Benning)still will not live in certian areas, and the city officials are predominantly Democrat from mayor's office to City Council. The 'policies' are of course 'unofficial' and found no where in writing, but be a minority and buy in the wrong place. A friend made the mistake, being from New Jersey, and not having dealt with 'southern' issues had his house vandalized numerous times, and the police just had a 'ho-hum' approach. His Company Commander took him aside and explained the 'rules' of Columbus, Georgia, and he sold at a loss and moved to where 'his kind' were approved to live, and that was after he returned from Irag in 2006. Nothing has changed based on 're-alignment' except you can now longer be open on your racism, must be more 'politically correct' on how it is applied. Ever notice the Jesse or AL never go into the hinterlands of the South with thier message, they stay in the more visable cities, where the problem is not as severe as backwoods Philidelphia, Mississippi.
And the state of current racial affairs such as the NAACP and The New Black Panther Party, is no differant in the approach of the KLAN in many aspects, so the Democrats also play the race card as it is needed in the affairs of the body politic be it Black or Hispanic. Jesse Jackson and the likes of Al Sharpton would never actually try to end the rifts, for to do so means they no longer have a place of power, and/or an income based on this rift
Travel any inner city and explain how and why 'The Great Society' failed, how vast amounts of money were dumped into these social programs in both Republican and Democrat mayored cities, for what return?. Whale you should know the affiars of Atlanta as we speak, where the actual 'DMZ' is, and the problems facing the Black as well as White communities.
Racism still exsists though not as open, and in the Deep South Democrats still rule the small communities where it is still 1963 without the signage.

I honestly don't know what anything you typed had to do with anything that was being discussed here. At all. What did any of that have to do with party realignment? Are you saying that the switch between liberal and conservative as it applies to Democrat and Republican didn't happen?
Yes, there are still conservative "Blue Dog" Democrats.
Yes, there are still people who are registered Democrats from the 50s and 60s in the south. But if you look at the way those folks vote, they either vote for local Blue Dogs or they vote for Republicans.
For president, they almost exclusively vote Republican.
Them's statistics.

It is just the re-writing of history. The KLAN was a Democrat political Machine for the longest time, now the re-writing of history post Byrd portrays it as something else. Vast Left Wing, and Vast Right Wing are the same political animal, with differant agendas. When Democrats are in power it is the role of the opposition party (GOP)to maintain a balance, not agree whole heartedly with political agendas thier voters do not approve of, and vice versa when the GOP is in power. Major social/economic changes that are swirling through the Democrat led Congress has major ramifacations for future generations, your grandchildren not even on your radar are already in debt to the US government for @$147,000, and the social spending that has a serious track record of limited return or outright failure continue. This feel good now pay for it later agenda is destroying the economy, and social structure.
The Democrat political machine is just as racist as the Republican machine, just the public affairs people of the Democrats are more skilled at misdirection.

Realignment is a long documented occurence in political science. It has nothing to do with rewriting history. Research all the way back to the Whigs...this is basic political stuff. Of course, if you want to get complex about it, you're welcome to dive into the hundreds of thousands of pages of research that have been done on it in the past fifty years or so.
Again, read my post on the real meanings of conservative and liberal. It's all really basic when you get down to bare facts.

This much, for certain, is very true. One party in full power sets the system back, and is detrimental to keeping the system as central as possible.

Democratic only in the sense of the southern democratic party. You've got to realize and admit that the ideals of the Democratic party as a whole were shattered in the post war years due to the vast differences in ideology in the 50's and 60's. While northern democrats fell in line behind the Kennedys and the socially liberal party line which included equal rights, the southern democrats stuck more to the social ideals of the Roosevelt era as well as the segregation policies of that time. While one part of the party was progressive and moving with the times, the other part of the party stayed stagnant. When the Civil Rights bill came around the first time, this caused a great divide nationally between the Southern Democrats and the National Democratic Party. This is when the re-alignment really started to take shape. The disillusionment of the Southern Dems meant that they could be scooped up by the socially conservative republican party to help push through lackluster candidates and policies. (sounds familiar from the last president eh?). That is when the Klan quit being a Democratic engine and became a outdated society which was left to hang in the wind politically. Democrats no longer supported them, and the image of the republican party on the national level couldn't afford to recognize their interests. It's not revisionist history in a post-Byrd era. Byrd doesn't have anything to do with it. He simply was the ONLY southern Democrat who remained a registered Democrat after the shift.
Vast Left Wing, and Vast Right Wing are the same political animal, with differant agendas. |
Which is, I must say the best political statement I have ever heard you say. Honestly, it pains me that you didn't stop when you should have.

Sounds familiar from the last two elections from both sides. The only worthwhile candidate I've seen in almost a decade is Obama...and being conservative, you can imagine my frustration at that fact.
Politics have become a media / advertising game like some form of the entertainment industry. Sell an image rather than a politician.
I guess we can thank the 60's and the first televised debates, where form began to take the place of fact. I think Palin is the shining example of this media-induced fallacy (insert joke)-tell peopel what they want, then sell it to them with a personality so cartoonish and overplayed that it could be the star of a Coen brothers flick.

Kinda like how Obama was sold to the US as the "Savior" and a serious 'Cult of Personality' developed, and only now are many seeing the empty suit they voted in. The circus of the election cycle was beyond idiocy, everyone harps on Palin because of the Dem political machines tried and true misdirection, but now they are trying to figure out how to get Obama to make the 'correct' choice for the 'Party'. The Dems more than likely make him 'an offer he can't refuse' and he will 'voluntarily' bow out for the good of the Party.
I am hopiung for relitive 'unknowns' to rise to the candidacies, the media circus that will follow Hillary on the left and any of the front runners on the right will make for another mistake in office. Palin will not run, her political star has faded, interesting choice for the vast right as Obama was for the vast left, but both are and will be disappointing.

"Yet again, the juxtaposition of the real video evidence shown here versus the mainstream media’s straight faced reportage of the NAACP’s baseless accusations demonstrates that, once again, the American main stream media has asserted itself as the number one enemy of the truth, when the facts don’t fit the left-wing narrative. Like the NAACP, it has become no better than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in its willingness to exploit race for political ends and their unflinching support of the Obama’s left-wing agenda."

it was breitbart... At biggovernment.com
Here is the problem. We have an administration that acts without the facts. Here is a video that was obviously edited, watching it, (I posted it on the previous page) you come to the conclusion that she is going somewhere with the story.
Or she is a huge racist.
I would guess she was going somewhere, according to breitbart he only had this footage, and hasn't seen any more...
But, what happened.
according to the lady, the white house called her three times, as soon as the video dropped... She was FORCED into "resigning", according to her interview on cnn.
THEN the NAACP dropped a bomb on her and called her a racist... (now they have pulled that statement, and are going to do an investigation).
She said the white house said she was going on glenn beck, therefore she had to resign right then, pull over on the side of the road and send in your resignation...
THis is the same administration that feels it is OK to murder American citizens located not in war zones, but anywhere they find them...
No trial, no chance for evidence to be shown, just an administration that will decide, yup, they are a terrorist... wait, a "Pending man caused disaster"... And Obama can have them killed.
...
somewhere in there is the truth. But on the tails of the NAACP calling the tea party racist, while allowing the black panther party to go free.
Instead we have a new dictator that is allowed to fire people without due process, and kill people without using the courts.
shocking.
But, will the "media" cover any of this?... Or will they just tow the democratic party line. Too bad Journolist isn't up anymore cause they could hash it out before hand.
but, right wing outlets are covering it, and that is why the media is dead in our country. Questions should be asked.
The white house is now denying any involvement.

Soooo, the whole thread just went down like this:
FE: The Democrats support the KKK!
Everyone Else: Uhm, no. Here's the full story and why you're full of crap
FE: Look! The NAACP is racist! The USDA director of rural development in Georgia was racist against a white man!
Everyone Else Why didn't you post the whole video? That seems taken out of context and furthermore, it seems as if she's telling a story about learning what it means to overcome her own deeply rooted issues with race, and how we all struggle with these issues no matter what race, creed or color. And how the farmers in rural Georgia overcame their racial issues before many others in this country did
FE Nuh UH! Oh! And here's some stuff that you've all already seen and talked about concerning the executive branch having a hit-list. Not that ANY Republican would EVER have one of those.....
FE: Oh, and here's the whole video... guess you guys were right and she said something she probably shouldn't have... but I still hate her because she's talking about the disparity between classes. So that makes you guys still wrong.
Aaaaannnnddddd if anyone recalls what I said in an earlier post about FE switching gears whenever he gets called out rather than admitting he's wrong.... this thread is just another example.

Little known fact within American politics:
If a member of the NCAAP is shown to be a racist, then the sitting president is disqualified and the vice presidential candidate from the losing side of the previous election is appointed leader of the U.S.
It's in the Constitution somewhere.

Facts are facts... The Democratic party is the party of "racists", that is what they do. They promoted racial divides in the past the same way they promote racial divides today. It is all about class warfare, shoot the "journolist" revelation that the way to get everyone off jeremiah wright was to just call Karl Rove "racist"...

I realize your reading comprehension can't allow multiple things to be tied together in your mind, and you already have your mind made up about "who" I am, so you won't be able to understand what I am typing. But, I will point out the flaws in your post anyway, because that is what I do.

I love the "everyone else" part of this... Jmac3 the most unreliable "debater" on here posted what a blog told him to say... No one backed him on it... at all. No matter, we can all read, and you are clearly just making stuff up... so go ahead.
You need to go back and reread what I wrote about the USDA director when I posted it.
done it yet?... Yeah, I wrote nothing, I just posted the video. You make assumptions about how I feel about it, and in this case you were totally wrong as usual. Maybe if you are going to hang me at my words... YOU should quote my words instead of MAKING THEM UP...
Naa, that isn't your style, you make preconceived judgement and then hang the person on your perspective of what they WOULD feel about something...
hmm, that is exactly what Obama did in this case... He assumed based on the video I posted that this lady was a huge racist. (Actually, we could all agree that if that video were by itself it would be clearly racist) Except context matters.
Not to the left, as they lie all the time, and this is what breitbart was doing, he was letting the left do what they do, and they did.
Pretty funny actually, as he used their exact same tactics against them and they fell right into the trap.
They have done this same tactic many times over the years, when in America we are supposted to be innocent until PROVEN guilty. Not in politics, a video comes out (november surprise) people are destroyed, without the facts... and the democratic party is almost always behind it... Except breitbart plays them like a fiddle, because he knows they will go off without the facts. just like you did.
You, along with the President don't wait, you just make assumptions, even when over time they prove that you "acted stupidly"...
Do you apologize for lying and putting words in my mouth... Nope, anything to discredit me is OK to you, because the ends justify the means.
Nice character.
FE Nuh UH! Oh! And here's some stuff that you've all already seen and talked about concerning the executive branch having a hit-list. Not that ANY Republican would EVER have one of those.....
I started posting in October of 2008. So I missed any threads in 2006. Also, Bush talked about doing this, but never activated it. Obama has this ongoing and active. Which you would know if you read the article I linked.
Big difference, especially when this case (hmm, they are tied together in my mind... that is weird, not just irrelevant like you tried unsuccessfully to hang me with...) shows that the President reacts without the evidence in more than one case. We have the issues with the police officer and Obama's friend (acted stupidly, hmm, no wonder I used that phrase in this thread before...see the link now?) and the case where Obama put out the hit that the tea party is racist, using the NAACP for his dirty work... And this case where he had Sherrod FIRED resign before all the facts came out.
Sad part is, NAACP HAD the complete video... They could have checked it before they threw one of their own under the bus. But, they didn't... why?...
Three instances where the Administration was wrong, and this is the same guy that decides "which" American citizen he can just murder... with no trial or evidence, just HIS determination that they are bad.
I don't trust his judgement, and no where in the constitution does he have the authority to subvert the rule of law, and murder people without a trial.
FE: Oh, and here's the whole video... guess you guys were right and she said something she probably shouldn't have... but I still hate her because she's talking about the disparity between classes. So that makes you guys still wrong.
More examples of you putting words in my mouth to make me look bad...
Pathetic.

So yes, you are correct. The Democratic Party was the one who supported the KKK.
But you ignore the whole party ideological switch that has happened.
It was the conservatives who supported the KKK.
Those same conservatives, after the realignment, roundly switched party affiliation to the Republican Party.
Thus is why your deep south states: Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc., are all considered to be unwavering red states now.
Trying to say that the Democratic Party is still the same party as the KKK is quite silly. And ignoring history.

As stated before, this is once again common knowledge often taught in most high school history classes and most political science classes in college. The political realignment of the 1960s and 1970s is one of the most well documented shifts of platform ideals since the death of the Whig party. Democratic candidates even nominated KKK leaders as Supreme Court justices before public outrage. However, as whale pointed out, these conservative democrats made a leap to the Republican party which still has some of those members today. Although I am not advocating that the Republican party as a whole supports the KKK.

And that is why you often hear the term "revisionist" history.
You guys have cited a perfect example...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd
See, what is sad, is that you judge not based on the content of character, but the color of their party.
Democrats are still the party that promotes racial divides. They are the party that wants certain groups to be put above other groups. (example giving loans to people who can't afford loans... because of the color of their skin, or their political party, or in business awarding contracts to one company over another because of the color of the skin of the owner or their political party, or in schools, giving scholarships to one person over another because of the color of their skin, or to meet some racially motivated "standard").
All examples of modern day racism, perpetrated by the democratic party.
And a good reason why labels are so bad. Look at character.
Tallen put a ton of words in my mouth to make me look bad. And as usual, whale is acting like I called him a liberal...
I didn't. He is doing the same thing liberals do, by making stuff up and putting it in my mouth. But we are all smart enough to recognize that is all he is doing, trying to destroy my character by inventing speech... that I never said.
Who cares if he is liberal or conservative. He is lying plain and simple, based on that, we should judge him by the content of his character...
Just like we should judge our President by his actions.
90 days to send more troops to Afghanistan.
a few hours to force a "subject" to resign...
And a media that is complicit.

Yes, and as we all discussed, there were some who did not make the switch to the Republican Party.
And, so we can clear this up, in your mind, the political party realignment of the Republican and Democratic Parties, as they connect to a liberal and conservative voting base, is revisionist history?

It doesn't matter, what your label is. Judge a candidate or politician by the content of their character.
Is lindsey Graham a good "conservative"?...
He voted to put Kagan on the supreme court. When she is going to be an activist judge, no question. Especially with the way she manipulated the partial birth abortion issue...
I wouldn't vote for him if my if my life depended on it.
What we are so used to doing is voting (R) or (D) instead of looking at the character of the people.
That is why I am part of the tea party. I am sick of the way (R) are so similar to (D) both are grasping for more power. Period.
Does that answer your question?...
The character of the democratic party is the same before as it is now... and both parties act the same in many cases.
But, to pretend that the democratic party isn't the party of the KKK is silly. No matter if it was then or now. They own that part of history, just like the democrat party voted against civil rights. The way your schooling pushed a "change" that now they are saintly is revisionist. The content of their character is the same...
Better question is, was it wrong for Tallen to put words in my mouth? Words that he clearly made up and I never said, all to drag my reputation through the mud?
While being patted on the back by his fanboys who see no problem with this as the ends justify the means?...
seems awfully similar to this story...(notice the party responsible...)

Actually, that wasn't trolling. That is a good point skillet.
But, according to true "conservative" values, a real conservative believes in smaller government. So if they get elected and vote for any new spending and anything that increases our debt... they were lying, and if you judge them by the content of their character that will tell you if you should vote for them again.
The government is just a reflection of our society.
WE vote them in, and allow the "media" to manipulate us into thinking that our choices are who they want us to pick by not thinking when we watch someone get railroaded...

More media manipulation of the Sherrod story...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38344940/from/RSS/ - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38344940/from/RSS/
notice how they never link the White house to the pressure to resign... Yet the last line makes no sense because they massaged the story to protect the white house.
Perfect example of the media "journolisting" a story.
"After the grainy clip began circulating in conservative circles online and was picked up by Fox News, Sherrod said she was pressured to step down from her post as director of rural development in Georgia. "
Actually, she said on CNN that the white house called her 3 times, and told her to pull over on the side of the road and resign. Nice job twisting the facts to cover up for the white house, as usual.
The media is part of the democratic party. Liars and manipulators.
"Breitbart said he was surprised by how the media “misconstrued” the tapes of Sherrod and that he did not expect that the White House “would throw her under the bus.” "
any reader that didn't know about this wouldn't get it because of the story "massage".
Also ignored is the way the crowd at the NAACP agrees and laughs while obviously agreeing with her statements, that are clearly racist... But, that is completely left out.
I love how the "unedited" video NAACP cut at 21:00 and cut back in with the audience laughing. Clearly another racist example that they took out (wait isn't that editing?...) Don't worry the "media" won't ask.

I understand the intent of FE's post. He is stating that once the Democrats supported racist beliefs of the KKK and now support the racist beliefs of Affirmative Action and other programs. It's unfortunate that he lumps all Democrats into a group. However, it's easier to attack and not defend if he can just condemn the entire party as evil. It's also unfortunate that you view the attempt to eliminate the giant gap in our class system as a bad thing. Maybe institutional racism and the enormous difference between classes is a good thing for you. Painting it as just government handouts to black students shows me you've spent little time in the inner city public education system. As someone who has never truly felt the pain of discrimination or had to really want in life...I still don't have an issue with many of our social programs. However, painting the support of class deconstruction as a support of racism is blind political pandering. As stated by Reb in another thread...we are begging you to stop.

"Why Martin Luther King Was Republican
by http://www.humanevents.com/search.php?author_name=Frances+Rice - Frances Rice
08/16/2006
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.
It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.
During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military.
Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.
In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King's leaving Memphis, Tenn., after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd (W.Va.), a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Given the circumstances of that era, it is understandable why Dr. King was a Republican. It was the Republicans who fought to free blacks from slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Republicans passed the civil rights laws of the 1860s, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 that was designed to establish a new government system in the Democrat-controlled South, one that was fair to blacks. Republicans also started the NAACP and affirmative action with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan (crafted by black Republican Art Fletcher) that set the nation's fist goals and timetables. Although affirmative action now has been turned by the Democrats into an unfair quota system, affirmative action was begun by Nixon to counter the harm caused to blacks when Democrat President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 kicked all of the blacks out of federal government jobs.
Few black Americans know that it was Republicans who founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Unknown also is the fact that Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen from Illinois was key to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964 and 1965. Not mentioned in recent media stories about extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act is the fact that Dirksen wrote the language for the bill. Dirksen also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing. President Lyndon Johnson could not have achieved passage of civil rights legislation without the support of Republicans.
Critics of Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater, who ran for President against Johnson in 1964, ignore the fact that Goldwater wanted to force the Democrats in the South to stop passing discriminatory laws and thus end the need to continuously enact federal civil rights legislation.
Those who wrongly criticize Goldwater also ignore the fact that Johnson, in his 4,500 State of the Union Address delivered on Jan. 4, 1965, mentioned scores of topics for federal action, but only 35 words were devoted to civil rights. He did not mention one word about voting rights. Then in 1967, showing his anger with Dr. King's protest against the Vietnam War, Johnson referred to Dr. King as "that "n-word"er preacher."
Contrary to the false assertions by Democrats, the racist "Dixiecrats" did not all migrate to the Republican Party. "Dixiecrats" declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican because the Republican Party was know as the party for blacks. Today, some of those "Dixiecrats" continue their political careers as Democrats, including Robert Byrd, who is well known for having been a "Keagle" in the Ku Klux Klan.
Another former "Dixiecrat" is former Democrat Sen. Ernest Hollings, who put up the Confederate flag over the state Capitol when he was the governor of South Carolina. There was no public outcry when Democrat Sen. Christopher Dodd praised Byrd as someone who would have been "a great senator for any moment," including the Civil War. Yet Democrats denounced then-Senate GOP leader Trent Lott for his remarks about Sen. Strom Thurmond (R.-S.C.). Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan and defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats. If Byrd and Thurmond were alive during the Civil War, and Byrd had his way, Thurmond would have been lynched.
The 30-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party began in the 1970s with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy," which was an effort on the part of Nixon to get Christians in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were still discriminating against their fellow Christians who happened to be black. Georgia did not switch until 2002, and some Southern states, including Louisiana, are still controlled by Democrats.
Today, Democrats, in pursuit of their socialist agenda, are fighting to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for Democrats. Examples of how egregiously Democrats act to keep blacks in poverty are numerous.
After wrongly convincing black Americans that a minimum wage increase was a good thing, the Democrats on August 3 kept their promise and killed the minimum wage bill passed by House Republicans on July 29. The blockage of the minimum wage bill was the second time in as many years that Democrats stuck a legislative finger in the eye of black Americans. Senate Democrats on April 1, 2004, blocked passage of a bill to renew the 1996 welfare reform law that was pushed by Republicans and vetoed twice by President Clinton before he finally signed it. Since the welfare reform law expired in September 2002, Congress had passed six extensions, and the latest expired on June 30, 2004. Opposed by the Democrats are school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black children get out of failing schools and Social Security reform, even though blacks on average lose $10,000 in the current system because of a shorter life expectancy than whites (72.2 years for blacks vs. 77.5 years for whites).
Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest vote against Republicans.
In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity."
And it continues to this day, where democrats are still manipulating blacks, for example.

I grew up in wake county schools, in fact, I went to sanderson High school the year they decided to bus in black kids from the inner city to our "rich" white school. I was attacked on numerous occasions because I was white, during this time. My car was jumped on by gangs of black kids on the way to their bus. I was called every race baiting name in the book. We had race riots. And nothing was ever done. Our school became a war zone for a few years, but the media didn't cover it... By the time I graduated, our school looked and acted like the inner city schools these kids left, grades suffered, and the school went downhill fast.
All the brilliance of the liberals who were "fixing" things... when in fact they just made a mess.
at least they had "good intentions"... right?

We're getting there.
So, to follow up, the Republican Party has always been the party of conservative ideology, while the Democratic Party has always been the party of liberal ideology?
Also, I was hoping you could explain why exactly the traditional Democratic and Republican held U.S. states, when referring to elections, switched so rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s?

You had a bad experience when the "bad black kids" came to your school? I'm sure that the desegregation of schools never ever worked to the opposite where black students were taunted, beat up, or verbally threatened. Never. It was just the liberals fault because they made those kids come to your school and taunt you. They continue to make those kids bad by always denying them equal rights and opportunities and by giving tax cuts to the upper class.

Did your education cover any of this? Or is it another example of Bias of Omission in your education?
"It baffles me that we're taught that Democrats are the civil rights champions. They are absolutely the opposite.
First of all, the Republican party was created to be the party against slavery because the Democrats were pro-slavery, and good people knew it was un-Christian and morally wrong. Lincoln was a Repblican, and not in "name only" as so-called scholars are teaching on campuses across the country. You'd never know it by how Republicans are portrayed now, but we were THE anti-slavery party, and we still are.

The Klu Klux Klan was created by the Democrats for the express reason of terrorizing blacks and Republicans in the South to prevent them from voting, and that every known Klansman that were members of Congress have been Democrats.
...imagine if you will, what a far different nation the United States would be had not the Republicans been around to block the Democrats’ efforts.
Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism....
Three years after Appomattox, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting blacks citizenship in the United States, came before the Congress: 94 percent of Republicans endorsed.
"The records of Congress reveal that not one Democrat -- either in the House nor the Senate -- voted for the 14th Amendment...Three years after the Civil War and the Democrats from the North as well as the South were still refusing to recognize any rights of citizenship for black Americans.

February 26, 2004 Hispanic Republican U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla (R-TX) condemns racist comments by U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL); she had called Asst. Secretary of State Roger Noriega and several Hispanic Congressmen “a bunch of white men...you all look alike to me”
May I add that one of the most insidiously racist issues supported by the Democrats is abortion. Abortion was pushed as a way to decrease the black population in the US and they've succeeded at it by putting the majority of abortion clinics in black neighborhoods and teaching the people that it's a civil rights issue for them to be able to obtain abortions. Actually it's a civil rights issue that they are targeting the black population with abortions and murdering them before they're even born."
It is almost time to vote. And with every vote you put into power someone with an agenda. Judge them carefully, as they have an impact on the future generations.

Oh hey, bumping a thread from July. I see what you did there.
The funny bit is you've already completely forgotten that on page one of this thread the public education kids educated you about the democratic realignment of the 1960s and 1970s. Surely as a good Christian who espouses the teachings of the New Testament over the inexcusable barbarity of Deuteronomy and Leviticus you must be sympathetic to the notion of an ideology or culture shifting significantly at some point in such a way that makes their previous beliefs no longer particularly relevant to their current incarnation? Or is it more fun to ignore everyone else and chew on a lawn sprinkler?

Oh, you bought the spin, huh?...
Nice lemming.
So, abortion was started to eliminate blacks in the country, and the party that started that phenomenum has now changed their position, and removed all those abortion clinics out of the hood because they aren't racist anymore...
And they don't penalize the black family and promote welfare to the degree that black men are no longer needed, which has also destroyed the black family unit, and replaced it with food stamps and public housing.
I am sure glad they stopped all that destruction of the black race in America.
oh wait.
What were you saying?

Despite the cunning Democrat plan to abort blacks into non existence, the percentage of blacks as a constituent of the American population has been increasing since 1930, and is at a hundred and forty year high since the black portion of the population declined below present levels in the 1860s.
Unless the Census is a Liberal plot too.
Again, though, nice red herring- Your attribution of racist policies or beliefs to the historical members of the Democratic party is irrelevant to its positions or members today.

You need to look at what a red herring fallacy arguement is...
Aborting blacks to reduce their numbers is not a red herring, but an actual democratic ideology vocalized by Margaret Sanger founder of Planned parenthood.
"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race." Margaret Sanger. Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.
"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock." Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review.
"Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems. Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.... On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective. Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
Has planned parenthood had an increase or decrease in revenue under the current majority control of our government by the democratic party?
Here it is...

"Planned Parenthood Health Systems (PPHS) has succeeded in greatly advancing the Planned Parenthood mission during the past twelve months."
Wait... that is only a small pphs, not the national... So we can't see how much more tax money they are getting... But, it will be a massive increase from 2008.
Guess the best way to judge them is to look at the content of their character instead of the color of their skin...

One nice drive through the lower backwoods South, ie Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and just notice who still lives en mass on 'the wrong side of the tracks' and the political leaning of the local government and Mayors office. Sit in a local eatery along the 'tracks' and just observe, will be an eye opening expieriance to you nothernern Democrat leaning youth. 1964-2010 and still the lines are drawn, and very distinctly. And the real fun part is we no longer see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson down there doing anything anymore, wonder why?

Why? You guys are saying that todays democrat doesn't view abortion the same way that Sanger did back when she founded Planned parenthood.
I disagree with your position, and I can prove my position. Just look at how much money the democratic party is now funnelling toward Planned parenthood and abortion.
And campare that with the words of a liberal democrat on the supreme court... (Which is the final say in the land... and she is pretty clear her position).
Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealthtopics/medicaid/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier - Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them.
also in the same interview...
Q: The case ties together themes of women’s equality and reproductive freedom. The court split those themes apart in Roe v. Wade. Do you see, as part of a future feminist legal wish list, repositioning Roe so that the right to abortion is rooted in the constitutional promise of sex equality?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Oh, yes. I think it will be.

Yes. I contend that the normal person who identifies as democrat, and/or the normal person who identifies as Liberal, does not view abortion rights as favourable because it is a way to reduce the number of black people in society.
The 'groups we don't want to have too many of', of course, refers to those of very low socioeconimic status who are unable to support children that they don't want and don't intend to have. Black people, of course, are on average poorer than others, and consequently are more represented in such demographics.
Let's make sure you don't drag this tangent away from your original thesis: you contended, and apparently still do, that the democrats promote abortion access and rights so that they can get rid of black people.
Just so we've got things straight and prioritized. I'll not have this idiotic assertion stand either unchallenged, or glossed over when you make your next leap form the topic at hand to something else that's equally inane.

He actually thinks the moern Democrat party is motivated in their policies by a desire to reduce the number of black people. He thinks the Democrats are trying to abort the black population away.
I still can't wrap my head around someone actually being such a sheep to his ideology as to be deluded enough to believe that in order to justify his irrational hatred of an alternative political view.

I do find it interesting that Democrats support the execution of a fetus whose only 'crime' is being in the wrong uterus(usually of a female without the responsibility to use the 100% effective birth control method of using the word "NO"), and rails against the execution of convicted violent criminal whose crimes have far more consequences than the executed fetus.
Moral highground in this debate is where? A beating heart is a beating heart regardless of the legal chess game being played.
