I like history in that regard. I like the fact that history is what it is and you really can’t change it. Sure, there have been those who have tried to change history to fit their own agenda. People who come to the table with presuppositions comfortably in place set on proving their point with proud pretexts. Yet true history will always be what it is: the truth.

When it comes to Republicans, we can look at a sordid past of misdeeds which have gotten them to the place that they are now. Grant it, these are just a sampling of their consistent, selfish actions but it goes to show the root of the Republican agenda and why it must be stopped:

1854 – the Republican Party was formed mainly in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, a law that stated that the state could vote on whether or not they would allow slavery in those territories. A Democrat, president Franklin Pierce, signs the bill.

That same year, Horace Greely, founder of the New York Tribune and a staunch opponent of slavery, joins the Republican party and is steadfast in his refusal to give concessions to slavery.

1856 – Formerly a Democrat, Montgomery Blair joins the Republican party and defends Dred Scott in the famous Supreme Court case He later becomes a part of president Lincoln’s cabinet.

The Republican party meets to oppose Democrats pro-slavery policies.

On July 14th, Charles Sumner gives his speech, “The Crime Against Kansas” on the senate floor and is subsequently assaulted by southern senator Preston Brooks, senator of South Carolina, who beats him into unconsciousness with a cane because he “insulted his state”. In the south, Brooks became a hero of ‘Southern pride’ and was re-elected after he walked out of the House of Representatives and resigned Congress.

1858 – Democratic senator, Stephen Douglas in his debates against Abraham Lincoln, states unequivocally:

I do not question Mr. Lincoln’s conscientious belief that the negro was made his equal, and hence is his brother; but for my own part, I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother or any kin to me whatever.

1860 – William Seward, who helped organize the Republican party, becomes Secretary of State. He then aids in drafting the Emancipation Proclamation.

Charles Sumner gives his speech, The Barbarism Of Slavery in which he stated:

Therefore, the battle which is now waged by the Union is for civilization itself, and it must have aid and God-speed from all who are not openly for Barbarism. There is no word of peace, no tone of gentleness, no whisper of humanity, which does not become trumpet-tongued against the Rebellion. War itself seems to “smooth its wrinkled front” as it undertakes the championship of such a cause. The armed soldier becomes a minister of mercy.

1862 – Republicans pass the Confiscation Act which stated that Confederates who did not surrender within 60 days of the acts passage were to be punished by having their slaves freed.

1863 – The Emancipation Proclamation is entered into law.

1865 – The 13th amendment to the Constitution is passed with a unanimous Republican passage and strong opposition from Democrats.

1866 – President Johnson’s veto is overidden by the Republican Congress to make African slaves officially American citizens.

The 14th amendment is passed. 94% of Republicans vote yes. 100% of Democrats vote no.

Fast Forward

1956 - Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Abernathy, major leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, vote for Dwight Eisenhower for president of the United States, a Republican.

1957 - Dwight Eisenhower signs the Republican Party’s Civil Rights Act.

1958 – Martin Luther King Jr. and other African-American representatives meet with president Eisenhower to discuss how to advance civil rights.

1962 – Soon to be governor Democratic George Wallace declares:

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of
tyranny, and I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation
forever.

He would oppose the Federal government in the integration of public schools and be a national figure in opposing the Civil Rights movement.

1965 – Senate Republican Everett Dirksen overcomes Democrat attempts to block the Voting Rights Act; 94% of Senate Republicans vote for landmark civil right legislation, while 27% of Democrats oppose.

You know, the United States would simply be awful without those meddling, racist Republicans.

Though Democrats are loathe to admit it, as they should be, but their history is rife and full of racism. It is the exact opposite as has been portrayed by them in order to deflect attention form their checkered past (and I’m putting it lightly). It is the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.

The following is just a small snippet of the history of the Democrats:

Hugo Black – Former Democrat Senator from Alabama and liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice (who was appointed by Franklin D. Roosevelt), Hugo Black had a long history of hate group activism.

Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920’s and sharpened his legal chops defending Klansmen under prosecution for racial murders. In one prominent case, Black provided legal representation to Klansman Edwin Stephenson for the hate-induced murder of a Catholic priest in Birmingham. A jury composed of several Klan members acquitted Stephenson of the murder, reportedly after Black expressed Klan gestures to the jury during the trial.

Jesse Jackson – Former Democrat presidential hopeful in 1984 and 1988 (who also claims to be a minister of Christ), Jesse Jackson has been known for his racist and divisive remarks for decades. His anti-Semitic slurs are commonplace, his most famous being his reference to New York City as “Hymietown“. He is the perpetrator of the same racism he says purports to fight against.

Craig Hines – as extreme left wing columnist, Mr. Hines is not only known for his racial prejudice, but also religious.

In a piece on Jesse Helms in 2001, he called Mr. Helms a ‘cracker’, and then turned around and accused him of racial bigotry. He had always been critical of the Catholic church and has gone on record as calling pro-life advocates neanderthals.

Senator Robert Byrd - Known by Rush Limbaugh as Robert “KKK” Byrd, it is a matter of record that Senator Byrd was an active Klansman and opponent of the Civil Rights Movement.

Extremely active in the Klan, he had risen in rank to the position of ‘Kleagle‘, a Klan member recruiter. He even lied about his supposed break off with them in 1952, still having communication with a Grand Wizard.

In a letter sent to the Klan leadership after he supposedly broken ties with them, he wrote the following statement in a letter:

“I am a former Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.”

Byrd was one of the leaders in opposing the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.

As recent as 2001, in an interview with Tony Snow, he showed his true colors by invoking the racial slur “n—–” during the interview.

Al Sharpton – Known for inciting his infamous Crown Heights race Riot in 1991, Al Sharpton is by far, one of the most vile racists in the political arena today. Another supposed man of the gospel (I am positive this is not the case whatsoever), his anti-Semitic as well as racist remarks against Caucasians is undeniable. Not satisfied with his performance in 1991, he caused another race riot in 1995 when a Jewish store owner had his store burnt to the ground and seven were killed.

The 1924 Democratic National Convention – The Democrats have a history of being the host to one of the largest Ku Klux Klan gatherings in its history. On July 24th, the gathering took place accompanied by a barrage of racial slurs and epithets, ending in the now trademark symbol of a burning cross on the front lawn.

Democrats vs. Civil Rights Movement – In 1964, Democrat Senators organized the landmark filibuster of the Civil Rights Act. Those involved included Sen. Robert C. Byrd, Sen. J. William Fulbright (Bill Clinton’s mentor), Albert Gore Sr.(Yep. The father of the global warming hoax Al Gore who created the internet…so he says), Sen. Sam Ervin, and Senator Richard Russell.

The Truth Unfolds

When we look at the history of the Democratic Party, we see the truth of the matter. No matter what rhetoric is thrown out in the media outlets, people who really are interested in the truth can find it.

But let’s not go away without hearing the ultimate truth which says that anyone who harbors this kind of hatred in their heart is simply feeding the evil inside them because racism, perpetrated by anyone, is a sin (Numbers 12:1, Acts 10:28;34-35, James 2:1,4).

Lastly, let’s not walk around in ignorance because contrary to what they say, it’s not bliss:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Hosea 4:6)
