Ted Cruz reminds AOC

@Elessar Lol! what?

The fact remains the DEMOCRATS founded the KKK! No matter what has happened or Anything about today . The fact remains the same the DEMOCRAT PARTY not only founded the KKK they are to thank for them today! If they weren't ever founded they wouldn't exist today. That party is a party who supported slavery back then. It doesn't matter about who does what today! The fact remains the same.

@specman Dude, who's waving Confederate flags? Who's the KKK rallying behind, nowadays?

@Elessar That doesn't change the fact that the DEMOCRAT party founded the KKK! No matter what you say the fact remains the same.

@specman You are repeating a lie that was banned from FB as an outright lie......after a conspiracy theory freak posted that bit of garbage. Read this fact check.......you're still doing it. Clinging to every right wing lie you were ever told.

@anythingoes477 I am aware though it is taught with the only reason being for the Immoral reason's of slavery. (who wrote the history considered mainstream? the North. Of course they wanted people to think they warred for the cause of moral nobility. )

@specman Even assuming it was true, who cares? Do we have a time machine with which former KKK could come here, or can we focus on the modern/alive KKKs in your ranks?

@anythingoes477 It is a proven fact that democrats founded the KKK?

@Elessar The Democrats are still promoting racism.

A racist institution that truly deserves to be renamed: The 'Democratic' Party
By Michael Bertolone
The Left has certainly been busy over the past several years renaming or tearing down every building, monument, and institution it deems racist. One institution has inexplicably escaped its wrath. It is, of course, the “Democratic” party. Racial division has been a pillar of the party since its inception — whether it was slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, welfare dependence, affirmative action, or the destruction of the Black family, the “Democratic” Party is at the forefront of using race to divide the country for its own political power and the economic gain of its wealthy donors.

We have witnessed the destruction of statues and monuments that have stood for over a hundred years, numerous renaming of buildings on college campuses and in government, as well as bridges and parks. They have even tried to erase the Founding Fathers from everywhere their names appear. The goal is apparently the destruction of American society by the cultural Marxists who have seized control of the Left and have the support of the “Democratic” party. They are their shock troops and the street army of the Left…and they are ramping up their shenanigans in advance of the 2024 presidential election.

As historian and author Bruce Barlett outlines in his book Wrong on Race — the Democratic Party’s Buried Past, the Party has deceptively reinvented itself as the Civil Rights Party, in spite of its despicable racial history. Let’s review a few of the destructive and divisive policies the Democrats have advanced:

● Woodrow Wilson’s segregation of the entire federal civil service

● FDR’s appointment of a member of the KKK to the Supreme Court

● Affirmative action, which has driven a wedge between the races and sexes by doling out college admissions and jobs based upon immutable characteristics

● The late Robert Byrd, who was once President pro tempore of the Senate, third in line in the presidential line of succession, was former member of the KKK

● Lyndon Johnson’s administration’s welfare rules, which effectively banished fathers from homes receiving assistance, and effectively led to the destruction of the urban Black family

Democrats will argue that the parties “realigned” in the 1960s, and Democrats have assumed the role of defender of minorities’ civil rights, but is this only a ruse to cover malicious policy decisions that have kept Blacks mired in poverty ever since? Consider these statistics:

● In 2021, 19.5 percent of Black people living in the United States were living below the poverty line. This is compared to 8.2 percent of White people, and 8.1 percent of Asian people.

● In 1964, the Black poverty rate was around 30%. Today, despite spending trillions of dollars on LBJ’s War on Poverty programs, the Black poverty rate remains alarmingly high at nearly 20%.

● Today, homicide is the leading cause of death among young Black men, and contributes significantly to the shortened lifespan of the Black male. In about 80-90% of the cases, the Black victim was killed by another Black, and about 52% of the murder victims were acquainted with their assailant.

The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan learned the consequences of bucking the racial narrative advanced by the social engineers who infested LBJ’s administration. The Negro Family: The Case For National Action, commonly known as the Moynihan Report, was a 1965 report on Black poverty in the United States. He sounded the alarm about the Great Society programs’ negative effect on the Black family, but was immediately attacked by the left of his own party. Looking back over the several decades since its publication, Moynihan has been proven to be correct.

We must continue to call out the “Democratic” party’s racism, and can even use Saul Alinsky’s instruction — which they have effectively used to advance their agenda over the last 60 years. They need to be asked why they haven’t changed the name of the “Democratic” party, especially since the brand has been tarnished by racist policies, all advanced by its leadership. In his book Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, Alinsky wrote:

Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.

Conservative activists need to heed this advice and demand that the historically racist “Democratic” party change its name in accordance with the Left’s unrelenting push to purge all names perceived to be associated with racism in Western society.

@specman Well.................if it's an OPINION piece written by someone with an obviously radicalized right wing agenda to blame the Dems.........because trump lost.........then who's to disagree with that, huh? Facts are after all..........whatever you want to believe if it supports whatever it is that you want to believe, Right?

@specman I know you're a mental giant but let me copy and paste just two sentences from your re-post of an OPINION article you found someplace "reputable".

[i][c=BF0000]1. The Democrats are still promoting racism.

And...........

2. The Left has certainly been busy over the past several years renaming or tearing down every building, monument, and institution it deems racist.[/i][/c]][/i]

So question for you mental giant................ If the Dems are PROMOTING racism.......why are they (by your account) tearing down things that are racist? It would seem to me.......about everyone I'm guessing with an IQ higher than a pencil..........that if the Dems were PROMOTING racism............they would want MORE racist things............not less of them.

I know you're slow...so I typed that with one finger. So tell us..........how does a party promote racism and tear it down at the same time???

@specman Sorry, not in the mood to read that whole copy pasted bunch of nonsense

I see only republicans waving confederate and Nazi flags

@anythingoes477 Here are some reasonings

You notice something you are the only one insulting. It is going to result in me insulting you.

The Institutional Racism of the Democratic Party
Christian Hartsock

It's the most persistent hate group in human history.
There is an institutional racism problem in the United States. The institution is the Democrat Party. No, there was no cross-partisan, musical chairs switcheroo in the late ’60s. Of the racist “Dixiecrats” who did leave, all but three rejoined the Democrat Party; not until the ’80s did more white Southerners join the GOP, and not until the mid-’90s did Republicans pick up southern congressional and state legislature seats.

The Democrat Party, since its youth, has been anti-American in its very nature. They literally fought to preserve slavery—a practice inherently antithetical to the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism which define the American way of life. Like practical Communism, chattel slavery was a practice of stealing other people’s labor to subsidize a work-free lifestyle.

The Democrats lost the 1860s battle against the United States. Then they retrenched and introduced new strategies. For decades, they deployed the Ku Klux Klan to harass, murder, terrorize and fearmonger blacks out of voting Republican. Today they pursue the same goals, but have traded their white hoods for newspaper columns, microphones, and TV cameras—and they’ve rebranded themselves advocates for Black America.

In 1964, when signing the welfare programs of the Great Society into law, President Lyndon B. Johnson said, “I’ll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next two hundred years.” Black scholars Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele, as well as Harvard Professor Paul Peterson, credit the Great Society with “actively discouraging marriage” and surrogating the federal government for black fathers, driving black birth illegitimacy rates from 20% in 1960 to 77% by 2017. (Between 1890 and 1950, black women were married at a higher rate than white women. From 1930-1950, the rates were equal.)

Fatherlessness has doubled high school dropout rates. In 1998, the Department of Justice published a report showing that 63% of youth suicides and 70% of youths in state institutions are from fatherless homes. This is not mere right-wing revisionism. I refer here to studies by the DOJ, New York Times, and NPR.

A year after the Great Society, President Johnson signed the Hart-Cellar Act, opening the floodgates of mass immigration into the low-skilled job market. Since then, adult black men have participated in the labor force at lower and lower rates, from 79% in 1973 to 68% in 2018. No less a leftist than Bernie Sanders has been saying this for decades: “There is no more defining issue in our nation today than stopping illegal immigration,” he said when George Bush was pushing his temporary worker program. “When you have 36% of Hispanic kids in this country who can’t find jobs, and you bring a lot of unskilled workers into this country, what do you think happens to that 36% of kids who are today unemployed? Fifty-one percent of African-American kids?” Somehow Sanders dodged the “white nationalist” charge.

For years, Democrat organizers such as political consultant Robert Creamer have sought to sandbag the economy into collapse using an overwhelmed entitlement state. They mau-maued banks into setting black subprime mortgage borrowers up for certain mass foreclosure in a long-term blackmail scheme against the free market. They exploited poverty for political expediency and pioneered the race war profiteering industry.

Democrats have also injected the German Marxist Frankfurt School’s “critical theory” into every level of academia to splinter American culture into factionalized “identity” groups. In 1967, the Communist Party’s official newspaper, The Daily Worker, announced “a new Communist Party line regarding Negroes and rioting.” The previous position of “supporting full integration and rejecting violence” had alienated potentially useful allies among the most violent racialist groups. Thus “if the Communist Party were to capitalize on the riots, it had no choice but to reverse its official position on the question of ‘civil rights.’”

Infiltrating still deeper into black American life, the Democrats went for the churches, converting them to the “social justice gospel” and the Frankfurtian doctrine of “critical race theory.” Jim Jones, a white Democrat organizer (though he claimed to be part Cherokee) transplanted his mostly black congregation to a “socialist utopia”-turned-gulag in Guyana with the support of Democratic California Governor Jerry Brown. Under the pretense of rescuing them from “Ameri-KKK-a,” Jones ended up killing every one of his congregants in the single greatest mass murder of black Americans in U.S. history. (CNN’s one-hour documentary on Jim Jones and the Jonestown Massacre of 1978 conveniently forgot to mention the movement’s dogmatic commitment to socialism.)

The New Jim Crow

In the decades that followed, Democrats presided municipally over the most impoverished urban populations, assuring plummeting literacy rates and a deteriorating status quo. They promoted minimum wage laws and priced blacks out of the workforce. The liberal Economic Policy Institute found that for every 10% increase in the minimum wage, minority unemployment increases by 3.9%. And now they’ve stepped it up to “The Fight for 15!”

To sow further disunity, Democrats push fake hate-crime stories (Kentucky State Assistant Professor Wilfred Reilly found that over two thirds of reported hate crimes are hoaxes) and media circuses over police murders of unarmed blacks. They spread cherry-picked or fallacious statistics about police shootings (the National Academy of Sciences found “no significant evidence of antiblack disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police”).

On the basis of these lies, Democrats encourage masked domestic terrorist mobs to “protest” in black neighborhoods, reducing them to rubble in the process. They inexplicably turned what could have been a rare opportunity for national unity in the tragic death of George Floyd—of which not a single American disputed the injustice—into a deadly, apocalyptic showdown, demanding “justice for George Floyd.” (The officer was arrested and charged with murder. Justice prevails. The riots continue notwithstanding.)

The Democratic data firm Civis Analytics has shown that black voters are just as likely as white ones to support hiring more police rather than less. The Minority Rights and Relations survey by Gallup reported that “[m]ore blacks (38 percent) say they want a greater police presence in their local communities than do whites (18 percent) or Americans more broadly (23 percent).”

It stands to reason, then, that calls to “defund” the police will be most devastating for underprivileged areas—which, of course, are disproportionately black. And yet, inexplicably, Democrats blame President Trump and “racist conservatives” for high-profile incidents of alleged brutality—both real and falsified—despite the fact that every single one of them has taken place in blue cities with police departments staffed by Democrat-appointed police commissioners.

To further break the black American spirit, Democrats invoke racial disparities in prison populations and the mandatory minimum sentences for drug abuse—in particular, they cite the different sentences for using crack and powdered cocaine. Conveniently, they leave out key details—some of which are available in Bureau of Justice Statistics—including that: a) Meth distribution (for which white inmates represent 53% of sentences versus blacks’ 2%) carries the same five-year minimum as crack; b) Crack convictions account for only 0.8% of black inmates; c) Drug sentences generally account for only 0.5% of black inmates; d) The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, in which many of these sentences were delineated, was overwhelmingly supported by the Congressional Black Caucus; e) Black Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) spearheaded the federal response to the crack epidemic in the first place; and f) Racial disparities in the prison population have decreased 25% since 2000, with white inmates up 4% and blacks down 22%.

Third-Wave Racism

On the strength of all these fallacies, the Democrat Party has created a money-laundering front in the form of Black Lives Matter (a name straight out of the “Patriot Act” playbook—what, are you not patriotic?) whose online mission statement is “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure”—again, the very catalyst of black underprivilege according to Sowell, Steele and countless other black scholars.

Desperate for more bogeymen to justify their demagoguery, they roll out red carpets for actual white nationalists like Richard Spencer (whom roughly zero Trump supporters had ever heard of, let alone embraced, before CNN, NPR, The Atlantic, and so forth turned him into America’s Next Top Nazi) and his retinue of 20 or so basement-dwelling, Hitler-Heiling nobodies. They fabricated allegations of the president’s “refusals to condemn” another prior nobody-turned-CNN-celeb, David Duke, when not only had Trump unmistakably disavowed Duke the first time the endorsement was brought to his attention (well before the Jake Tapper interview) but had done so on numerous occasions over the preceding decades.

All this despite President Trump’s having signed historic criminal justice reform into law; released over 1200 nonviolent offenders, 91% of them black, from prison; increased funding for historically black colleges and universities by 25% (more than any president ever) and waived an additional $322 million of their federal debt (compare President Obama’s “failing grades” from “leaders of the nation’s 100-plus historically black colleges and universities” reported in Politico); urged Congress to expand school choice to inner-city districts; signed the Hispanic Prosperity Executive Order to “promote public-private partnerships in Hispanic-American communities”; created Opportunity Zones for 1.4 million minority households; and presided over record-low black and Hispanic unemployment rates and a 400% increase in black homeownership.

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party nominee in 2016 was a sycophantic protege of KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd (a decades-long serving senator). The current nominee, Joe Biden, a white male, stares black America in the eye and reminds them that they are the property of the Democrat Party—that their whole identity is conditioned on supporting him and as such, they “ain’t black” if they’re undecided on voting for him.

The Democrat Party today is built on the most insidious and cowardly form of racial bullying. Its M.O. is to intimidate the black community into feeling endangered, ostracized, and unwanted in the nation that their ancestors helped build; a nation which fought a Civil War to free those in bondage; and which celebrates and encourages their contributions to arts, sciences, civics, business, and culture like no other nation in the world. Democrats shame black dissidents as “Uncle Toms,” “race traitors,” and “minstrel shows” in a desperate effort to keep them afraid and under control.

Malcolm X said: “The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.” He was right. There is systemic racism in America: Democrats run that system, in partnership with their high-tech, crypto-Klan media apparatus. Their Stalinist show trials, cancel-culture guillotine purges, and cyber-lynch-mob-incitements have created a hyper-conformist, empty-eyed zombie mob whose neurolinguistically programmed reactions to Pavlovian mass media cues are triggered at the slightest provocation. One simply cannot profess to be “anti-racist” without acknowledging the donkey in the room, arguably the best-funded hate group, with the most extensive human resources and the most tirelessly reinventive pathology of racial animus, in human history.

@Elessar It is a you tube video. but whatever

@Elessar I thought I sent a you tube video my bad

@specman No, you've sent copy-pasted propaganda that not even yourself has read, so figure if I'll do 🤣

@specman I couldn't find anything to copy and paste for you... .I think thinking for one's self is a lot more admirable. But if you really believe that crap............why aren't you and Dems the best of friends?

If according to you the Dems are the KKK.....and vice versa...........and David Duke says repeatedly that he speaks for the KKK in that Trump has his full support in 2016........and he said it again in 2020...and he now says again that he and the KKK will again be supporters of trump in 2024................and you're a devoted cult trump member.............it would seem that trumpers and the Dems are on the same side.

If what you say is true........that the KKK and Dems are the same thing.......... and since the KKK/Dems says they love trump..........then you and the cult and the Dems should be butt buddies.

@anythingoes477 Actually the right and the left are different.
What I have given proves the point even though you deny it that's on you! I gave you the information.

@specman Yeah I saw your information that proves your point. The Dems are sooooooooooooooooooooo racists they keep tearing down racists statues and changing racist names on buildings, etc........so they can reduce the amount of it.

Excellent logic. Keep up the good work.

@specman When the first paragraph is made up of two contradicting sentences...........who would be silly enough to read the rest of it? It wasn't YOUR information anyway. It was a copied and pasted OPINION article from a right wing rag site.

@anythingoes477 It was my information hence the fact that it had been cut and pasted. Besides who said my information was not going to be cut and pasted.

@specman Then you contridicted YOURSELF to make what you thought was a point, That's even worse.

@anythingoes477 how did I contradict myself?
