Some links on the Democratic Party's history of racism, bigotry, segregation, and yes, the KKK

What follows is some information and links on who the real racists in this country were and are. And how, to this day, they still try to hide their disturbing past from normal examination. (It’s also a sad fact that many among them are the first to play the race card.)

● Democrats: The Missing Years; “The party that championed slavery and segregation erases its race record from history.”

[Excerpt] There is no reference to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner became “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” Nor is there reference to University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease’s description of the Klan as the “terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.” [End]

● The DNC’s Bold Lies

[Excerpt] “The lies are big, bold and prominent. … There is no polite way to put it. This DNC website presentation is a lie. A deliberate, willful and very big lie. Hiding from the young, the innocent and the unwary the cold, hard and true facts of the Democratic Party’s horrific racial history. … This cultural rot has been the backbone of American liberalism and its political party the Democrats — for 212 years. No wonder the DNC feels it has to lie.” [End]

Special Note:

In 2013, news surfaced that President Obama not only followed a despicably-named Twitter account, he was its FIRST FOLLOWER!
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/14/obamas-official-twitter-account-caught-following-outrageous-racist/

This was documented (complete with screen grabs) in the article titled, ‘Amazingly Enough, the Official Obama Twitter Account Actually Followed This Absurd Racist’. Obviously, “following” a Twitter account doesn’t necessarily imply endorsement of it or the content of its tweets, though in this case, we still do not know why the “official” Obama Twitter account DID follow it (until it was news — read into that what you will.) The account’s first tweet was sent January 7, 2009 — 13 days prior to Obama’s first inauguration.

More importantly, being this Twitter account’s FIRST FOLLOWER poses questions all its own. (For the record, ‘OFA’ was originally ‘Obama For America’. After his reelection, ‘OFA’ morphed into ‘Organizing For Action’.)

More disturbing would be the chance that President Obama (or Democrat officials on his Transition Team) created the account to keep their hate alive. Lest we forget what Booker T. Washington said over a hundred years ago in the language of his day:

“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. 

Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.

Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”

That sounds like an indictment of the entire Obama administration and all of the race-hustling, race-obsessed “hate merchants” and charlatans that Barack Obama himself, for years now, has been regularly keeping counsel with, be they whatever color…

---

A personal observation to wrap things up:

The REAL injustice our country suffered the last several years may be how the election of the first African-American president — something we embraced and celebrated for its history alone — how it did not help race relations and racial unity because the individual elected never had such a goal. By words and deeds, Obama himself precluded that from happening!

The current president is no healer nor unifier, and the photos of him with a halo or surrounded by children and the Scripture cited by his minions won’t change that fact. Alas, too many on the left are still invested in him (or his skin color) to see the truth. Or too ashamed to admit he seduced them. That’s how Liberty dies.

We all belong to one human race... And we all bleed one color.

If only Barack Obama took Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s advice and stopped his “drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred,” many Americans of ALL colors wouldn’t be so dismayed... And it would be easier to rule out the idea of this divisive president who seemingly wants that color to run in the streets.

The comment section of this Facebook Note continues to be updated with related information.

FWIW: Much of the information above already appears in the post titled, “You only separate colors when doing wash” which serves two audiences: the ignorant who grievously play the race card, and the informed who are tired of it being played.

As Kevin Jackson says, “It’s what you know… now DEAL with it.”

Nothing says Obama sucks quite like this...

A response to Obama saying, "No one should ever have to fear for their safety when they go to pray.":

Obama's handlers knew he had to come out and say something after the horrible incident that happened, especially during Holy Week, so they crafted a line that sounds great but is disingenuous when factoring in his silence over the slaughter of thousands of Christians by Muslim groups he supports. Recall his soaring proclamation a few weeks ago, that "Every child should have every chance in life," this coming from the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history.

See a pattern here? Obama's words are empty... he is without shame. Why just last year he turned Easter Sunday into Cesar Chavez Day. He wasn't finished. This holy day became a Democratic fundraiser (this from the party that booed God). Then he went to church to hear partisan hate. That has to be a record, a triple parlay in his twisted mind. He re-branded Easter Sunday, then used it to raise money and was divisive -- nothing says your president sucks quite like that! 

Update: In light of what happened to Dr. Ben Carson last year, perhaps Obama should've added, "No one should fear for their safety (or apologize!) when they go to a prayer breakfast and criticize me."

♫ Waters of March (Águas de Março) Elis Regina & Tom Jobim

Waters of March (Águas de Março) Elis Regina & Tom Jobim

[Quoting] 'Waters of March' or 'Águas de Março' (its original title) is a Brazilian song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim wrote both the English and Portuguese lyrics.

The lyrics do not tell a story, but rather present a series of images that form a collage; nearly every line starts with "É..." ("[It] is..."). In both the Portuguese and English versions of the lyrics, "it" is a stick, a stone, a sliver of glass, a scratch, a cliff, a knot in the wood, a fish, a pin, the end of the road," and many other things, although some specific references to Brazilian culture (festa da cumeeira, garrafa de cana), flora (peroba do campo) and folklore (Matita Pereira) were intentionally omitted from the English version, perhaps with the goal of providing a more universal perspective.

All these details swirling around the central metaphor of "the waters of March" can give the impression of the passing of daily life and its continual, inevitable progression towards death, just as the rains of March mark the end of a Brazilian summer. Both sets of lyrics speak of the water being "the promise of life," perhaps allowing for other, more life-affirming interpretations, and the English contains the additional phrases "the joy in your heart" and the "promise of spring," a seasonal reference that would be more relevant to most of the English-speaking world.

The inspiration for "Águas de Março" comes from Rio de Janeiro's rainiest month. March is typically marked by sudden storms with heavy rains and strong winds that cause flooding in many places around the city. The lyrics and the music have a constant downward progression much like the water torrent from those rains flowing in the gutters, which typically would carry sticks, stones, bits of glass, and almost everything and anything. The orchestration creates the illusion of the constant descending of notes much like Shepard tones.

From ConnectBrazil.com's Maria Wolfson: "No one else but Antonio Carlos Jobim could write a simple song about the complexities of life. But there's more to the story than a stick and a stone."

In view of Obama’s tyranny, a “Call to Arms” — like Jake Sully's in Avatar — is needed…

The tyranny of Obama brings to mind Jake Sully's epic call to arms in Avatar. Though it comes from a different time on a fictional planet, it rings true for us here today. To paraphrase:

"The Obama people have sent us a message, that they can take whatever they want, that no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. Tell them Toruk Macto calls to them! You fly now, with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Obama people that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this... this is our land!"

Yes, SportsOnEarth.com just hired a stripper who co-founded a sex workers' site to write one of their columns...

Of course, what she writes about, in light of her line of work, is what proves to be disturbing. Can you say #ConflictOfInterest?!?

Does anyone else find it odd that SportsOnEarth.com decided now is the time to publish their article with the tease, "We're debunking the myth that sex trafficking increases during the Super Bowl"?

Or that its author is a stripper who's co-founder of the sex workers' site 'T*ts and Sass'? And who's "We're"? A quick Google search reveals who Susan Elizabeth Shepard is. Are we to assume that because Sports on Earth is a "joint development venture between USA TODAY Sports and MLB Advanced Media" that they've joined her here?

Just askin'... #CultureWar

Related: It should be noted that Sports on Earth practices censorship. In the past, I have posted a comment that I think is relevant to the following story on Joe Paterno's legacy only to find it deleted.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=453193558137188

The comment:

Former Penn State president Graham Spanier gets brief mention in this article -- he is "still awaiting trial for perjury and failure to report child abuse, among other charges" -- but that didn't stop the Obama administration from hiring him.
Washington Post's Emily Heil wrote about it in an article titled 'Graham Spanier's gig as a federal worker is a mystery':

[Quoting] Spanier might have been ousted from his post at the helm of Penn State over the sex-abuse scandal that engulfed the university, but it seems he's found a backup employer: the American taxpayer. ... His lawyer confirms to the Loop that Spanier is working on a part-time consulting basis for a "top-secret" agency on national security issues. But the gig is so hush-hush, he couldn't even tell his attorneys the name of the agency. In April -- months after his ouster as president but before the release of the internal report -- he told the Patriot-News of central Pennsylvania that he was working on a "special project for the U.S. government relating [to] national security." [End quote]
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-the-loop/post/graham-spaniers-gig-as-a-federal-worker-is-a-mystery/2012/07/26/gJQAbAx5BX_blog.html

For the record, District Judge William Wenner concluded that prosecutors had enough evidence of a "conspiracy of silence" for Spanier and his two cohorts to stand trial for their role in covering up the Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Charges include perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, failure to report child abuse, conspiracy to hide child abuse, hiding evidence from investigators, and lying to the grand jury.

In other words, Graham Spanier, this "expert at cover-ups," fits in perfectly with the Obama administration.

A "triple-dog-dare" for those on the political left

In the spirit of the film 'A Christmas Story,' I am "triple-dog-daring" those on the left to thoroughly read through this jaw-dropping list of criminal behavior titled 'President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts [Updated]'. Blog post creator Doug Ross has it right: "Yes, he's historic, alright."

Here's the link (in larger font) for those who still haven't clicked on it:
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2011/06/president-barack-obamas-complete-list.html←Click it... I triple-dog-dare ya!

To complete this throwing down of the gauntlet, those on the left must ask themselves, after reading it, why they would still support such a man. Then again, we already know that many of them will never take the dare because they live in an alternate reality or they're cowards. Or both... and their psyches are fra-gee-lay.

Some have even said that arguing with them is like playing chess with a pigeon, i.e., even after they've been beaten like a drum, they knock over all the pieces, crap on the board and still strut around.

But here's hoping there are some out there on the political left who will use this coming New Year's time of introspection to see the light and recognize the dangerous ruler we have in the White House. It's not too late to get on board -- any newcomers and converts will be heartily welcomed! And it won't be just because they "manned up" for a triple-dog-dare ;)

More jaw-dropping... I dare you to read this and not drop your jaw: Don Fredrick asks, "Can It All Be a Coincidence?"

Mark Levin to Obama: "You’ve been warned!"

Mark Levin weighs in on the arrest threat that Veterans faced when visiting Memorials that Obama's government shutdown "Barrycaded":

I'm going to tell you folks something. I want to say this loud and clear to the people on Capitol Hill who are listening, to this administration -- you lay one damn hand on one of those World War II vets at that memorial, I'll bring half a million people to that damn memorial! You got that?!

I'm sitting here stewing thinking about this. Playing these damn games? You will ignite a movement in this country like you've never seen before. The biker patriot army, veterans from all over the country -- every single war and battle in this country. Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever!

I'll be damned if one president, with his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office, with his smirk on his face, looking at his golf card. I'll be damned if this president or anybody else is going to shutdown that World War II memorial. Period. 

These men are in their 80s and 90s. So let me repeat. You lay one hand on one of those men and arrest them for going to their memorial, which they fought for, which was not paid by you, damn it. It was paid by the American people. 

We will come out of every town and city in this nation. We will come out of every county and both coasts, both borders, and we will march on Washington against your tyranny. You've been warned. You have been warned!

Hear Mark Levin say it!

SOURCE: Mark Levin to Obama: You lay one hand on WW2 vets and I’LL BRING HALF A MILLION PEOPLE TO THAT MEMORIAL!

With all that's happening to our country under Obama, one could imagine that there are more than a few WWII Veterans out there in their 80s and 90s who'd like to go "old school" on Obama and ask him this question: "Do you like your front teeth?!?"

We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, an estimated 640 WWII veterans die each day. Our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out."
