Democrats are going after the black vote by deliberately spreading false
information. Apparently it has worked pretty well in the past, but
this may be changing.

about Race-based Political Opportunism.
The Democrats'
own history with race. For decades, it has been a template of the major media that Republicans
are the party of racism. It repeats uncritically any charges of Republican racism, no matter how
unfounded. Democrats, on the other hand, are always given a pass whenever they commit racist
offenses. Even a cursory review, however, will show that the media template is totally contrary
to history.
Democrats: The Missing Years.
The DNC website section labeled "Party History," … is in fact scrubbed clean of the not-so-little dirty secret
that fueled Democrats' political successes for over a century and a half and made American life a hell on earth
for black Americans. … So what's missing? There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party
platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840-1860. There is no reference to the number of
Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800-1861. There is no reference to
the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the
subject. There were 20, from 1868-1948. There is no reference to "Jim Crow" as in "Jim Crow laws,"
nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them.
The GOP Is
the Party of Civil Rights. Everyone knows this, but it's worth repeating: The Republican
Party is the party of Abraham Lincoln and was established in 1854 to block the expansion of slavery.
The Democratic Party was the party of slavery: Its two founders, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson,
owned large numbers of slaves, and every party platform before the Civil War defended the institution
unequivocally. After the war, it was the Republican Party that rammed through the 13th, 14th and
15th amendments to the Constitution over Democratic opposition.
Obama And His Silly White Women Behind Him.
If anybody really believes that Race is not an issue in this 2008 election, then they are grossly deceived, because that
denial is being used as a shield to deflect criticism from the Obamaniacs when they spew out their accusations of racism
against whites and anybody else who won't go along with their predominantly black agendas, which many have yet to
understand their agendas have been in place for decades. And they have made no secret that those plans are in
place to the exclusion of everybody else except the blacks and all those whom they now call "people of color."
But, is that what the majority of Americans want for America? I believe not!
Democrats Should Fear
the 'Brady Effect'. As legions of Barack Obama's supporters (both inside and outside the
mainstream media) wait with giddy anticipation to celebrate victory on November 5, they can't seem to
block creeping doubt from their minds. What if the outcome doesn't all fall neatly into place like
their polls project? How can such a scenario be explained? Their answer is an old canard:
Latent racism in America.
Dem Playbook
Shows Dirty Tactics. Documents obtained by Townhall show the Democratic Party encouraged party activists
to accuse the GOP of intimidating minorities on Election Day even if no evidence of intimidation existed in the 2004
presidential election. The tactic is being used again in 2008, this time to downplay fraud charges against a
predominantly minority non-profit supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Splitting blacks from
white Americans was always part of the plan, according to Bill Ayers himself, and according to his
radical buds like J-Wright. … So the Left had to find a new, miserable proletariat, and right there
were the inner city blacks, uprooted from their Christian families and work ethic in the South, often feeling
lost and vulnerable. That's where Black Liberation Theology came in and the Black Muslims. That's
where ACORN recruited its heavies. That's where the Democrats get their most obedient voters to this
very day.
An
Open Letter to Black Obama Supporters. In two previous notably liberal administrations, socialist
ideas were entertained: Bloat government to its largest degree and cause people to become dependent upon it
for their livelihood. Under Franklin Delano Roosevelt the longest lasting experiment with Socialism was
instituted. Social Security has now become what people think of as a stream of money flowing from the
government. Perhaps in Urban America you know a number of people who get Social Security benefits who
aren't even retired (which is what it was originally intended for) or disabled, or even in legitimate need
of it. Every check of Social Security that goes to an undeserving recipient plunges Black America
into deeper poverty.
Democratic
Congressman Warns Jews, Blacks to Beware of Palin. Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings on Wednesday [9/24/2008]
warned two minority groups to beware of Sarah Palin because "anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't
care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks." Hastings, who is black and a Democrat, made the
comment in Florida at a panel discussion hosted by the National Jewish Democratic Council.
Obama Is Stoking Racial Antagonism.
I understand the rough and tumble of politics. But Barack Obama — the supposedly postpartisan,
postracial candidate of hope and change — has gone where few modern candidates have gone before.
Mr. Obama's campaign is now trafficking in prejudice of its own making. And in doing so, it is playing
with political dynamite.
How
Can a "Fellow Black Republican" Oppose Obama? Do you know that Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th
and 15th amendments to the Constitution — abolishing slavery, granting citizenship rights to newly
freed slaves, and guaranteeing the right to vote (at least on paper) to blacks, respectively? Do you
know that most of the politicians who stood for segregation were Southern Democrats? Do you know that
the Ku Klux Klan was founded by Democrats, one of whose goals was to stop the spread of the Republican Party?
Do you know that, as a percentage of the party, more Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act
of 1964?
Democrats
Have Kept Racism Alive. There was a big problem with Barack's mea culpa speech in Philadelphia,
defending his racist pastor, Jeremiah White. He failed to mention that over 300,000 white Americans gave
their lives to end slavery. He didn't mention that in 1854, abolitionists left the Democratic Party and
founded the Republican Party specifically for the purpose of ending slavery and giving equal rights to all
those who had been in bondage.
Get Back in
the Kitchen, Sarah! If you're a liberal icon like Jimmy Carter, you can refer to Barack Obama as a
"black boy" without anyone batting an eye. If you're a liberal like Joe Biden, you can "praise" Obama as
clean and articulate or joke about Indians and Dunkin Donuts' with barely a whisper of disapproval from the
monolithically liberal mainstream media. If you're a liberal cartoonist like Ted Rall, you can caption
Condoleezza Rice as the president's "House Nigga." If you're a liberal talk show host like Sly Sylvester,
you can refer to her as Aunt Jemima. … And the quickest path to the top of the liberal class is to
ridicule Justice Clarence Thomas.
The Party Of Anti-Achievement.
[Sarah Palin's] selection should have been celebrated from sea to shining sea. But the coordinated
attack on Palin and her family proves once again that the Democrat Party is the antithesis of everything
they claim to champion. They ARE anti-woman and anti-minority, that is unless that celebrated woman
and minority are Democrats.
Clinton's
diminishing of black voters. [Scroll down] Yet here is Clinton dancing all over stereotypes. There
is no way you can say in the same sentence, "hard-working Americans, white Americans," without diminishing black Americans
as lazy. ... All the love built up between the Clintons and black folks became love and war when a black man stood between
them and their castle.
The Slavery Apology Backfire:
News flash: the Democrats will not be wasting any time at their Denver Convention apologizing for
slavery — or segregation either. They aren't even ashamed enough to apologize for
giving a double thumbs-up to lynching African-Americans.
The Tragedy of Campaign '08.
Democrats have kept their liberal and black base together by claiming that their policy differences with
Republicans over entitlements and other domestic matters are the consequence of the alleged racism of white
Republicans. It is a false charge but it has helped the Democrats at the polls, even as it has made many
blacks unnecessarily sensitive about their minority status.
Planned
Parenthood Puts A Hit Out On Black Children. Planned Parenthood Facilities around the country
have been accused of accepting contributions from racist donors. A group of concerned people conducted
their own "sting" operation which has exposed a willingness of Planned Parenthood employees to accommodate
racist donors. In fact, clinic personnel in Ohio, New Mexico, Idaho and Oklahoma have been captured on
tape pandering to a potential donor with a racist agenda.
Bamboozled
Obama's big black lie: It was the Republican Party that fought for the freedoms of blacks in
Congress following the conclusion of the Civil War. State chapters of the Republican Party were started
by blacks in most southern states. The first black congressional members, some of whom had been former
slaves only months previous, were all Republican.
Two Cheers for Obama.
As author Bruce Bartlett details in Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party's Buried Past, Democrats have a long history
of anti-black statements and sentiments that far exceed the so-called code words of Nixon's alleged "Southern strategy," in which
the phrase "law and order" somehow magically converted white resentment into electoral votes. Too bad this primary's rhetoric
was not that benign.
Visitors
from a Weird Planet: Back in the 1960s, the Democrats went in for social engineering in a big
way. They concentrated particularly on black Americans. One of the first things they did was to
increase welfare, but only to those homes that didn't have men living in them. That not only created
dependency on the part of black women and children, but, inevitably, led young blacks to grow up without male
authority figures around to keep them in line. The results weren't too great for the grown-ups, either.
Digging
Up Democratic Skeletons: Democrats ... supported slavery, opposed civil rights legislation,
instituted the "Black Codes," and created the Jim Crow system. The Republican Party, in contrast, was
founded in opposition to slavery, and supported post-Civil War and Civil Rights Movement-era legislation.
Obama's Trap: The truth is, liberals
don't find Reverend Wright shocking. Liberals find themselves nodding in silent agreement with much of what he
preaches. Furthermore, they aren't offended by the notion of rewarding a domestic terrorist from the 1960's with
professorship at a major state university. Even more damaging is the notion that they really don't practice zero
tolerance on racism and bigotry — they're happy to ignore it if it's being practiced by part of their base.
It's Time to Call the
Democrats on Race Demagogy. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a very popular preacher of racial
anger in Chicago. So is Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Cynthia McKinney, Professor Nikki Giovanni at
Virginia Tech and far too many others. They always get favorable media coverage, because they are
speaking for the Left. If you look at conservative blacks, you see exactly the opposite…. So
the Left, and its mouthpiece the Democrats, have chosen the destructive demagogues and not the peace
makers. So be it. But it's high time to call them on it.
Did
someone mention Jeremiah Wright?
Racially Stacked New Deal. [President
Franklin Delano] Roosevelt was the first president to put a Klansman on the U. S. Supreme Court — a move that Woodrow Wilson
is never known to have contemplated. Although FDR proclaimed ignorance of this colorful aspect of Hugo Black's past
when asked about it in the 1930s, the justice himself offered a far different recollection in a 1968 memo.
The
Democratic Party's Stealth War On Black Americans: If you look back through American history and
find a black American being enslaved, lynched, railroaded, or persecuted, 99 times out of a hundred,
you'll find a Democrat behind it. The hated and feared KKK? Throughout most of its history, it
was little more than a hooded, thuggish arm of the Democratic Party.
The Real Agenda of
Black Liberation Theology. In an article in the Washington Post, unnamed ministers commented
that black liberation theology "encourages a preacher to speak forcefully against the institutions of
oppression…" And what might these institutions be? They are not specified. But
it is safe to say that they are not the welfare state or the Democratic Party. Given that black
liberation theology is a product of the dreary leftist politics of the twentieth century, the very vehicles
employed by the left to advance statism certainly can't be the culprits. For the left, black liberation
theology makes for close to a perfect faith. It is a political creed larded with religion. It serves
not to reconcile and unite blacks with the larger cultural, but to keep them separate.
Insulting
Blacks: Commemorating a key point in American history is one thing, but a white person
mimicking black dialect is demeaning and insulting. And, if it buys her votes from those in
attendance, not much flattering can be said about them. … Mrs. Clinton is not alone in demeaning
talk to black people; she's in good company with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who talk of "going from
the outhouse to the White House" and "from disgrace to amazing grace" and other such nonsense.
The Clinton strategy?
Having polarized blacks and whites, the Democratic primary campaign was already becoming sleazy. And now
that Latinos have been added to the mix, it's become surreal. We're being told that Latinos won't vote
for Barack Obama because he's black. The implication is that Latinos are racist.
Primary Colors: In
2001, President Bill Clinton was honored as the nation's "first black president" by the Congressional Black
Caucus. Ironically, his co-president and now Sen. Hillary Clinton is trying mightily to keep Sen. Barack
Obama from becoming the genuine article, and both have become embroiled in a controversy over race and who
should get credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Bill's Red
Neck: In the acrid aftermath of the South Carolina primary, I think it is safe to say
that novelist Toni Morrison was dealing in fiction when she pronounced Bill Clinton our first black
president. After watching him huff and puff up the issue of race in a way that Americans have
not seen since the presidential campaigns of the late George Wallace, the former Boy President, rather
than being our first black president, is our second redneck president.
Bill
Clinton Plays the Race Card — and Loses. By invoking Jesse Jackson's name, Clinton
attempted to portray Obama as the "black candidate." Clinton knows that the race-driven Jackson
polarizes people. By branding Obama as Jackson-esque, Clinton hoped to peel away Obama's support
from white voters and thus — pardon the expression — ghettoize Obama's candidacy.
Stung by political
correctness. Hilarously, the frontrunners for the US Democrats presidential candidacy —
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — are now enmeshed in a web of political correctness spun by their
party's reliance on race and gender politics for much of its popular appeal.
What an Obama Presidency Would Mean:
The Democratic Party has for years given lip service to the African-American community. They have talked
about prominence without fulfilling the promise. They patronize without empowering. Worst of all,
this unholy bond has done more to decimate and deplete our community than slavery and Jim Crow laws ever could
have accomplished. This allegiance has destroyed millions of our children; children created but denied
access to the American dream, children aborted. The Democrat Party has been a major contributor to the
African American slippery slide down the slope of depravity.
Liberals demean blacks
again. It is obvious that liberals are hanging onto a nostalgic vision of blacks as a victim group
in need of protection by liberals. Nothing could be more patronizing and ultimately dehumanizing.
Blacks are not a endangered species, and certainly don't need liberals fretting about where they choose to
live their lives, as if they were a herd of Arctic caribou.
Hillary's
Plantation Politics: It was Clinton who introduced race tension into the election. After
Obama told a crowd in South Carolina at the time of Martin Luther King's birthday that the slain civil rights
leader's crusade was not a "false hope," Clinton stepped in to point out that President Lyndon Johnson (the
white patron) got the Civil Rights Act passed. And then, of course, the senator's surrogate, husband
Bill, minimized Obama's landslide victory in South Carolina as a black thing, pointing out that Jesse Jackson
also did well there in 1984 and 1988.
Bill Clinton is not black. It seems odd that I
would have to make that statement; I have nothing against Bill Clinton, but I do have something against those
who, for whatever reason, have convinced themselves that Clinton is not only black, but was also, "The First
Black President."
Obama's Oblique Race
Card. While Republican candidate Mike Huckabee has gained the most media attention for using
religion to promote his candidacy, Barack Obama has made the most effective use of speech patterns from
American church sermonizing.
Black Dreams,
White Liberals. The analogy Clinton was implying was obvious: I'm Lyndon Johnson, unlovely
doer; he's Martin Luther King, charismatic dreamer. Vote for me if you want results. Forty years
ago, that arrangement — white president enacting African American dreams — was necessary
because discrimination denied blacks their own autonomous political options. Today, that
arrangement — white liberals acting as tribune for blacks in return for their political
loyalty — is a demeaning anachronism. That's what the fury at Hillary was all
about, although no one was willing to say so explicitly.
Bill Has
A 'Dream'. Bill Clinton showed yesterday [1/21 or 1/20 ??] why he made it into the book "The
Art of Napping." During an appearance at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, the former
president was caught nodding off. Clinton was there during a service to honor Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., while his wife was nearby at Abyssinian Baptist Church, where she was endorsed by its minister,
Rev. Calvin Butts.
Bill
gets some shut-eye at MLK day event. He's been a pit bull when it comes to Barack Obama, but yesterday
all Bill Clinton could manage was a cat nap. And it was, to say the least, poorly timed. According to
the New York Post, Clinton took a snooze in the middle of a service to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at
the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem on Sunday.
Blaspheming Hillary plays up to Harlem Baptists.
How can these parishioners sing "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" while at the same time shaking hands and clapping applause
for the devil's agenda? That's what goes on when Hillary steps inside a Christian sanctuary -- it's
called anathema. It's known in biblical terms as "hypocrisy."
Racial Role Reversal:
When the accuser in the Duke case charged rape, the district attorney — in the midst of a tough primary
election — saw an opportunity to curry favor with Durham's black community and exploit the town-gown
tension found in every college town. He ran with it, inflaming public opinion against the accused
at every opportunity.
Did
someone mention the Duke Lacrosse Case?
Lott
avenges media double standard. Just days before the recent elections, Congressman John Lewis
(D-Ga.) and former Congressman, Ambassador and Mayor Andrew Young lent their voices to a radio ad designed
to promote the African-American Democratic candidate for chairman of Fulton County, Georgia's largest.
The ad partly said and partially hinted that should the Republican candidate be elected, blacks would see their
lives returned to the days of being fire-hosed in the streets, among other Jim Crow-type sufferings.
The
Importance Of Being Ernesto: After Hurricane Katrina, Democrats exploited a natural disaster that
devastated predominantly white and black areas in both Louisiana and Mississippi as an example of Bush
administration racism. National Committee Chairman Howard Dean marked the disaster's anniversary by
charging that "Katrina ended any effective ability by Republicans to appeal to African-Americans."
Bamboozled
Obama's big black lie: It was the Republican Party that fought for the freedoms of blacks in
Congress following the conclusion of the Civil War. State chapters of the Republican Party were started
by blacks in most southern states. The first black congressional members, some of whom had been former
slaves only months previous, were all Republican.
Low
black voter turnout — who's to blame? Twice as many blacks, according to a recent Pew Research
Center report, now say they have little or no confidence in the voting system, compared to
2004. And 29 percent of blacks believe their vote will not be accurately tallied,
compared to 8 percent of whites. … But who told blacks that devious Republicans
steal their votes? Jesse Jackson, perhaps the most widely quoted "black leader," accused
election officials in 2000 of stealing the black vote.
Selective
race-baiting. Going back to the Nixon era, Republicans have gained office in the South not
because of their record on national defense or abortion or taxes but because every conservative victory
is proof of Southern racism successfully exploited. … There is no fairness, no balance. There is only
the rational conclusion that the "news" media have decided once again that one party must be supported and the
other must be defeated.
Preserving a
vision: Both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had a higher
percentage of Congressional Republicans voting for their enactment than the percentage of Congressional
Democrats. You can check it out in The Congressional Record. As for black economic advances,
the most dramatic reduction in poverty among blacks occurred between 1940 and 1960, when the black poverty
rate was cut almost in half, without any major government programs of the Great Society kind that began
in the 1960s.
Hey,
Liberals! Lecture me about racism when you've stopped creating more of it. All of their
theories, of course, are predicated on the idea that Tennesseans, and all Southern conservatives, are
troglodytic racists who are boorish enough to vote against a man because he's black and simultaneously
sophisticated enough to pick up on very subtle coded political messages about his race. I just
don't buy it.
Cultural
Whiplash: Take for example the remarks, a couple of years ago, of the long-time senator from the
great state of West Virginia, Robert Byrd. Old Bob, the former Ku Klux Klan member, used the "N" word a
couple of times while being interviewed on television. Now, you might think that all hell broke loose;
that the Washington Post headlined the event with a front-page story (upper half), or that Dan Rather and the
CBS News opened their broadcast with Dan tearing his garments in protest. Alas, if you thought that
you'd be wrong. You see, Bob Byrd is a neo-Marxist Democrat, and, well, things are just different with
those folks, and one of things that are different is that they get a pass when it comes to the charge
of "racism," even when they are "racists."
History of America's
Racist Left: Bilbo, Faubus, Wallace — all the memorable political bigots were Democrats, not Republicans.
Today, a remnant of that Democratic Party survives in West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who can boast of having served
as both Majority Leader in the Senate and Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan.
The Republicans Passed the 1964 Civil Rights
Act. the chief opponents were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, of later Watergate fame, Albert Gore
Sr., and Robert Byrd. Senator Byrd, a former Klansman whom Democrats still call "the conscience of the Senate",
filibustered against the civil rights bill for fourteen straight hours before the final vote. The House of
Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes.
The Decline of Affirmative Action:
On February 8, 1964, Congressman Howard W. Smith [Democrat] of Virginia made a colossal miscalculation in the
House of Representatives. In an attempt to block the CRA, he suggested inserting the word "sex" after the
word "religion" whenever it appeared in Title VII, which guaranteed "fair" employment practices. By tying
it to the then controversial women's movement, Smith hoped to kill the Civil Rights Act.
Byrd
is about to be the longest-serving senator. Byrd admits his obituary will include a personal
blemish — his time spent early in his life as part of the Ku Klux Klan and the more than 14-hour filibuster
against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Fighting
dirty for the black vote. Donna Brazile is uneasy. She has noticed
something highly threatening to her party, and she's sounding the alarm. In a
column for Roll Call newspaper, Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager, warns her
fellow Democrats that Republicans are seeking to make inroads into the African-American
vote. "Once they (black voters) start listening to Republicans, some may even
like what they hear."
ACORN: The largest
radical group in America, with 175,000 dues-paying member families, and more than 850 chapters
in 70 US cities. Implicated in numerous reports of fraudulent voter registration, vote-rigging,
voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams during the 2004 election. Maintains close ties to
organized labor.
Democrats Plan Race-Based Campaign Against Black Candidate
in Maryland. Democrats plan a race-based campaign against a candidate who aims to be Maryland's
first black man elected to the U. S. Senate, according to a confidential Democratic Party campaign document
obtained by The New York Sun. The target of the emerging smear campaign is Michael Steele, the Republican
nominee for a seat vacated by Paul Sarbanes, a liberal Democrat who has represented Maryland in the Senate
for 30 years.
The
credibility of black conservatism. Liberals, particularly black
liberals, will claim this incident simply confirms what they have known all
along. … In their view, liberalism is coded into black DNA. It is a
genetic impossibility for a black to actually believe that government should be
limited and that every person, regardless of circumstance, must take personal
responsibility for his or her own life.
The
recurring politics of race exploitation. There are far too many people, in their
ideological confusion, who believe conservatism is inherently racist. That's presumably
why they don't feel they're required to produce evidence to prove their claims. They've
already tried and convicted conservatives of racism; the particular infractions they cite are
merely symptomatic of their prejudice.
Stop
and think: Part III. No special interest group within the Democratic
party has as much influence — domination might be a better word — as
the teachers' unions. The top priority of the National Education Association and the
American Federation of Teachers is their members' jobs. ... Parents may think that public
schools exist to educate their children but, to the teachers' unions, these schools exist
to provide their members with jobs, with iron-class tenure, and with pay increases based
on seniority, not performance. If maintaining that status quo means sacrificing the
education of a whole generation of young blacks, the teachers' unions will do it.
Failing
their own: I'm thinking of a cabal of radical legislators who don't reflect the views of average
Americans or even the interests of their own constituents. They use wedge issues, play the race card and
push their party to the ideological extreme. They collude with outside activists, many of whom use
religion as a Trojan horse for a radical political agenda. Sound like those perennial paladins of
villainy, the congressional GOP? Guess again. This is the Congressional Black Caucus.
The Attacks on
Condoleezza Rice: The attacks on Condoleezza Rice by some of the Democrats is something
to behold. It's been nearly half a century since a white person, any white person, dared criticize
a black person. And the criticism here is not polite. It is about as harsh as it gets in the
public arena — repeatedly calling a person in a high level government position a bald-faced
liar goes way beyond a difference of opinion. It is even more unusual not to hear a loud chorus
of black people and black organizations, supported by the national media, coming to her defense. Most
of the time, there is a black organization or black person on every corner poised to scream racism whenever
a white person criticizes a black person. Where is Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the
Congressional Black Caucus, and others?
What about the Religious Left?: For
years the Reverend Jesse Jackson has asserted that political engagement from the pulpit is an essential part
of the church's moral responsibility. In 1988, Jackson's presidential campaign was financed in part with
cash donations openly collected in black churches.
The All American skin
game: How'd we get here? Well, that's a long story. But let's start with Bush's
victory in 2000, which presented a real dilemma for Democrats who'd spent the 1990s playing the race card like
it was an expiring coupon. … Having been shellacked by this approach to politics for so long, many
Republicans have bought into it. … If the standard created by Democrats is that ideological diversity is
meaningless, and only skin color and gender count, your best shot at putting conservatives on the court is to
find blacks, Hispanics and women who agree with your philosophy.
Of Ants and Immigrants:
Of course, since these immigrants are largely uneducated, largely poor migrants coming here to make a better
living, they will give their loyalty to whomever offers them the most — which means their children will be
loyal Democrats because the Republicans cannot compete with Democrats when it comes to booty doled from the
public treasury. Who can blame them? Conservatism is for those with a greater stake in
society. These people came here for economic reasons, and the Democrats will give them more.
A tale of two
incumbents in Georgia. For years, the GOP has felt that it was under-represented in
Georgia's U.S. congressional delegation. In a state that voted overwhelmingly for George W.
Bush twice, the congressional districts had been gerrymandered by the Democratic General Assembly to
provide more Democratic seats that demographics realistically allotted.
Don't
let Democrats get away with race-baiting. There they go
again: The Democrats are race-baiting — attempting to suggest that the
Republicans purposely excluded or miscounted the votes of African-Americans in the
2004 election. And why not? It worked so well last time around. The
myth that African American votes went uncounted in Florida has achieved the status
of conventional wisdom — never mind the little detail that it is
completely false.
Senator
Reid only betrays his ignorance. I was around during [Supreme Court Justice
Clarence] Thomas' 1991 confirmation hearings. I remember that black Americans
overwhelmingly supported his nomination. I was told about the focus group meetings
where the Democrats discovered that they could discredit Thomas by focusing on his marriage
to a white woman, and by labeling him unqualified. After that, every time a Democrat
appeared on TV, references to Thomas' white wife and charges that he was unqualified poured
out of their mouths. The Democrats tapped into a latent river of
racism. It worked.
Speaking
of Liberal Disrespect for Blacks: Even if you don't want to characterize some of
these infernal liberal cartoons lampooning and demeaning Condoleezza Rice as racist, could we
at least agree that white liberals treat blacks disrespectfully when they engage in such
expressions? Don't they just assume they will get a pass when they refer to
Dr. Rice as "Aunt Jemima" and Secretary Powell as an Uncle Tom? What makes
them think they can say such garbage with impunity?
Dean
and the Democrats are frozen in a time warp. Surely [Democratic National
Committee] Chairman [Howard] Dean knows that our secretary of state is an African-American
woman from Alabama. Or that there are now three black CEOs of Fortune 500
companies. I wonder if he appreciates that the percentage of black households
earning over $75,000 a year has more than quadrupled over the last 40 years. Or
that there are now over 1 million blacks in this country with advanced degrees. Perhaps
Dean didn't take notice that 1.5 million blacks voted for George W. Bush in
2004 — double the black vote that he got in 2000.
More
nuance and flipflops. The Democratic Party keeps agonizing over why it
lost the election and how to recover. Let me suggest this: Quit undermining
the electoral process in the name of protecting it. And quit exploiting African-American
voters by stirring fear in their hearts over fraudulent claims that Republicans want
to disenfranchise them.
The Democratic party: Modern day
slave master. The Democratic Party, the liberal "mainstream" media and the rest of the
cultural elites are having a very hard time handling Dr. Rice's rise to
power. They've waged a disgraceful, racist and cowardly back-door assault
against her. Why? Little Ms. Condoleezza has wandered away from the
plantation. She refuses to slave in the cotton fields of "progressive" ideology.
Why
Democrats are tagged as the party without values: To
most Americans, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are race-baiting demagogues. Yet
they are heroes to the Democratic Party. Most Americans do not see their country
as the bigoted and racist nation regularly depicted by both black and white Democratic
leaders. To most Americans, a man who wears women's clothing to work is a pathetic
person in need of psychotherapy. To the Democratic Party, he is a man whose
cross-dressing is merely another expression of multiculturalism.
When
liberals play the race card: Look at the treatment of prominent black
Republicans like National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State
Colin Powell. Liberal critics pull no punches in using race to criticize
them. Political cartoonists Pat Oliphant and Jeff Danziger drew political
cartoons accentuating Dr. Rice's black features and depict her speaking in
rural Southern dialect. Garry Trudeau referred to her as "Brown Sugar" in
his comic strip, "Doonesbury."
Conservatives,
liberals and blacks: If there is one general characteristic of white liberals,
it's their condescending and demeaning attitude toward blacks.
Is the
Democratic Party racist? The Democrats have successfully maintained
their power base on the backs of black people. Without them, the Democrats would go
the way of the Whigs.
Dems
fire minorities without a conscience: The Democratic Party is taking
blacks for granted. Again. The Associated Press is reporting that the
Democratic National Committee laid off 10 black staffers this week.
"Black
History Month" Renamed To Promote Anti-War Agenda: Liberal Democrats in New York City have
renamed Black History Month to reflect the anti-war sentiments expressed by protest groups and political
leaders such as presidential candidate Al Sharpton.
Democrats: Party of Angry
White Men? Where are all the good ole' boys? They sure aren't over at
the White House, where Ann Veneman, Gale Norton, Elaine Chao, Rod Paige, Colin Powell,
Norm Mineta, Mel Martinez and Christy Todd Whitman make up almost half the president's
cabinet, along with inner-circle advisors Karen Hughes and Condoleeza Rice. And they
aren't at the Supreme Court, where Republicans appointed the first woman and second
black man. And they certainly weren't at GOPAC, where JC Watts and a
cabinet of women now hold the GOP future, running the entire Republican farm
system. Contrast this to the blatant tokenism of the Clinton cabinet which
boasted such luminaries as Janet Reno, Hazel O'Leary and Jocelyn Elders. Apparently,
the battle to see which party makes the real commitment to a color blind meritorious
nation is over. And Republicans won.
Conservatives,
liberals and blacks: According to a Washington Times story (July 14, 2004), Democratic
hopeful Sen. John Kerry, in a speech about education to a predominantly black audience, said that
there are more blacks in prison than in college. "That's unacceptable, but it's not
their fault," he said. Do you think Kerry would also say that white inmates are
faultless? Aside from Kerry being factually wrong about the black prison
population vs. the black college population, his vision differs little from one that
holds that blacks are a rudderless, victimized people who cannot control their destiny
and whose best hope depends upon the benevolence of white people.
The Coretta Scott King Funeral
This event took place in February 2006, but the information below is presented here in an
effort to keep it from going down the media memory hole. Mrs. King's funeral was
called Wellstone II because
of its striking similarity to the funeral for Senator Paul Wellstone in October 2002,
where a solemn ceremony was turned into a cheap political rally benefiting the Democratic Party,
just because the major news organizations were there to cover
it. (See Honor
& Civility, RIP.)
Video: Coretta Scott King Funeral
Turned Into Bush Bashing Event. Only liberals can get away with using the funeral of the wife of a
civil rights leader to preach your Bush hate and anti-War rhetoric, and only liberals would do so.
Paul
Wellstone II: The Coretta Scott King "Funeral". Today's "funeral" service seemed like
it the Paul Wellstone "funeral", or as Instapundit called it, a campaign rally. Ed Driscoll similarly
said that this was a 'pep rally'. The only thing different today was that the President didn't walk
out, like then Gov. Jesse Ventura did. If President Bush and the First Lady did walk out, I would
have supported them 100%.
Wellstoning the
King Funeral: [Jimmy Carter] never has a good word for anyone but himself, or a third
world dictator, and he has never managed to behave in a classy manner -- not when he can do the
easier, trashier thing and get his accolades from the usual suspects, and lots of coverage.
Dad Slams Attack On
Bush At King Rite. Former President George H.W. Bush has expressed dismay and anger at
attacks on his son, President Bush, at the funeral for Coretta Scott King.
Back
to the peanut gallery, Jimmy. Carter, in case you haven't heard, didn't mention WMDs but did
bring up federal wiretaps and racial discrimination. … This coming from the man who a little over a
year ago traveled to Cuba and appeared at a baseball game with Fidel Castro — and they were wearing matching
shirts, by the way. And of course Carter went out of his way to insinuate that President Bush had
somehow contrived to discriminate against thousands of black folks in Katrina's aftermath — and on and on
and on. I was ashamed to be from the same state.
A class
act. In some form or fashion, I have known the players in what I am about to describe as a
series of regrettable moments at the funeral of Coretta Scott King. The one I know least, President
George W. Bush, won both my sympathy and respect for gallantly enduring the slings and arrows pointed
directly at him during what should have been a celebration of a great woman, but instead turned into a
political rally.
Turning a funeral
pulpit into a political soapbox: It's sad to say but it must be said. It should be
clear to anyone who watched the tasteless politicization of Coretta Scott King's funeral by a black
minister and by a former president why the black community remains, after all these years, as
troubled as it is.
Showtime at Coretta
Scott King's funeral. The "funeral" of Coretta Scott King turned into an ugly, disrespectful
political rally. … There stood Oprah Winfrey, the most powerful woman in television, with her net worth
estimated by Forbes magazine at $1.3 billion. And she recently signed a $55 million deal
with XM Satellite Radio.
Jimmy Carter's Values: While some
commentators took former President Jimmy Carter to task for his misleading and political comments at the
Coretta Scott King funeral about wiretapping, his ridiculous claims about the victims of Hurricane Katrina
went largely unchallenged.
