Just think, no one would have been the wiser if it weren’t for the glorious progressive-liberal trait of ignoring consequences.

http://www.actblue.com/ is scamming local Foxnews cable providers.

How do we know? They admit it: http://crooksandliars.com

You see, Blue America joined the Color of Change advertising boycott of the crazed and demented Glenn Beck Show on Fox. Every time we run an ad campaign, we instruct all the networks to not run any Blue America spots on Beck’s programs. But they sometimes run them anyway. “Oh, no,” you think? Actually, it’s wonderful. Although he has a big– albeit stupid– audience, there are some people watching for the sheer hysteria and trainwreck quality of it all. So why wonderful? Well, every time they run a Blue America spot on his show, they refund the money. So we have his cake and eat it too.

Example, Blue America has spent nearly $100,000 this year making sure that voters in the 8 counties that make up the Arkansas’ Democratic heartland were aware of Blanche Lincoln’s voting record. More often than not, the vast majority of voters, anywhere, don’t really know much about their candidates. They knew Blanche was a “Democrat,” like FDR and JFK and Clinton and Obama… but not much more. And they have a pretty good idea about where Republicans stand when it comes to their attitudes towards working people. So Blanche benefited while she played footsie with the Chamber of Commerce and other right wing front organizations. Well, $100,000 in targeted advertising in just a few counties and go a very far way and we watched excitedly as Blanche’s re-elect ratings went down and down and down, not in Republican counties, but in traditional Democratic areas along the Mississippi. She’s unelectable now.

And last week we got another nice check back from our agency for $1,037 worth of ads that ran on Glenn Beck’s shows in Arkansas. Usually we just turn the checks around and buy more ads on MSNBC or BET, the Food Channel, USA Network, HGTV or CNN. But Blanche is toast; no need to waste any more money on that one. And besides, the labor unions and other groups have come to the party with 4 or 5 million dollars. No one will miss our $1,037. So… what should we do with it? How about using it to help defeat a couple particularly noxious Blue Dogs?

No one will miss ‘THEIR’ $1,037? How about the cable provider in Arkansas? Pretty ticked off, I would assume, if they should read here how http://www.actblue.com/ and http://colorofchange.org and http://crooksandliars.com (Never a more accurate domain name!) to coin just a few, conned them out of advertising.

All it would take is what they are doing. Proclaim you won’t advertise on a national show. Place ads locally. Trick the local provider into honoring the national boycott and whalla.. free issues advertising.

I sure hope the cable providers that have been victims of this theft (because that IS what it is) will file charges and shut down what is obviously part of a criminal enterprise, acting in concert with other criminal enterprises.

(Yeah I know. The headline could be taken the other way, but then again, so could crooksandliars.)

The story: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2522952320100325

Looking relaxed and upbeat, he mocked Republicans for acting as if the bill would lead to “Armageddon.”

“After I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling, some cracks opening up in the earth,” Obama said, adding it turned out to be a nice day and “birds were chirping, folks were strolling down the mall.”

He did not mock Republicans. Obama assumed Armageddon to be a religious fight and he LOOKED TO THE SKY to mock GOD! for not having struck him down with an asteriod, or sent him to hell through cracks in the earth.

A normal thinking human being would have probably assumed the use of the word ‘Armageddon’ was in lew of stating it would be all out political war with the political fight to the political death for the country and the Constitution, or the people’s leader and his commune would prevail. But no. Obama had to gaze toward the sky, raise his arm up, as if to mock the lack of an arm reaching down to smite him.

I truly think his gesture and his attitude were not anti-religious, but rather pro-the-power-of-self-delusion as our infant President shows his arrogance just about any time he isn’t reading someone else’s words. Be that as it may, invoking such an obvious gesture of mockery of GOD in such controlled anger as he did, shows something much deeper should concern us all.

“Ownership has its privileges”

“congress needs to equal out the audience”

“there aren’t any poor people with microphones”

“hell if we’re gonna be socialists, let’s be socialists all across the board”

“[rush] is now opening admitting that he going to work against, and campaign against the democratic party and compaign against Obama”

Mr. Red: You sir, are a useful idiot.

Arlen Spector said this:

“There’s a crime called misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is when you don’t report a crime. So you’re getting into pretty deep areas here in these considerations.” — U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, D-Pa., on March 12.

LectLaw establishes what it means:

MISPRISION OF FELONY

“Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC Misprision of felony, is the like concealment of felony, without giving any degree of maintenance to the felon for if any aid be given him, the party becomes an accessory after the fact.”

Federal Code Says:

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 4

§ 4. Misprision of felony

“Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. “

Then arises what constitutes ‘cognizable’:

Able to be tried before a particular court.

In other words, a court would have jurisdiction.

Yes, I know Spector’s comments were intended to lay potential blame on his opponent, when he followed up with:

Asked last week about Sestak’s charge by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, Specter replies:

“That’s a very, very serious charge. It’s a big black smear without the specifications. But I’m telling you it is a federal crime punishable by jail, and anybody who wants to say that ought to back it up. Listen, Congressman Sestak has gotten a lot of political mileage out of that, and it’s really an attack on the administration.”

Sure Spector was attempting to smear his opponent (Sestak) but his words are applicable to many things as well.

There are questions similar to Spector’s that effect the current atmosphere in Washington.

No one will bring such charges against anyone. Face it. The Justice Department itself could very well be guilty of misprision, in a **different prong**.

There are a couple of Republican Senators (nice an tight with each other) who are questionable. I’ll leave that topic where it is, for now.

Know what Misprision is.

 See http://twitter.com/gpollowitz/statuses/10594862249 and http://hotair.com/archives/2010/03/16/oh-boy-kucinich-will-announce-o-care-vote-at-press-conference-tomorrow/

This has to tell us something important. Good ol’ Dennis is a purist. If he is going along, then he has just been convinced what he wants will happen, it will just take a few more steps. Good Ol’ Dennis would never on-his-life do something that was less than he believed and had intellectually justified. Never happen.

So Good Ol’ Dennis has told us that what Dennis wants is what Dennis will get, once Barry has managed to capture the nation’s economy. Rush is right.

And to think: none of this was necessary.

Obama Plans to Eliminate ‘Thousands’ of U.S. Nuclear Warheads
touts NewsMax..

The Obama administration is formulating a new nuclear weapons policy that would include the elimination of thousands of warheads and the possible withdrawal of all tactical warheads from Europe.

Obama is also under pressure to abandon the Bush Doctrine allowing preemptive action, including the use of nuclear weapons, against any nation threatening American security, The New York Times reported on Monday. The new strategy will be included in a document called the Nuclear Posture Review, which every president must complete.

“It will be clear in the document that there will be very dramatic reductions — in the thousands — as related to the stockpile,” a senior administration official told the Times. Many of those warheads are in storage.

The administration is also discussing whether to withdraw American nuclear weapons from Europe, “where they provide more political reassurance than actual defense,” according to the Times.

And this from the great negotiator! As far as I’m concerned, Obama eliminating a single standing defense weapon is abhoring. Eliminating stockpiled weapons is another thing, stock has to be refreshed anyway, but if this traitor is going to disarm the U.S. he needs to be impeached the moment he tries it. Impeached you say? Yep! He took an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution. Disarming without likewise equal disarm from opposing forces is aiding and comforting the enemy.

Period.

Oh My!

It’s SuperO ,

Mom, Apple Pie in the Sky budgets, holding a really large brocolli cluster, looking about like I’d expect of a fictional character.

It is both saddening and equally hilarious to watch the Progressives deal in the best way they can with Bush Lawyers getting ‘off the hook’ for ‘torture’ decisions. To really get a feeling for the pathetic responses of Progressives just link on over to Democratic Underground’s Justice Official Clears Bush Lawyers (Yoo & Bybee) in Torture Memo Probe.

The guy responsible for making the final decision on how to word the report, is David_Margolis. In their ever-loving Progressive zeal, the closet-socialists missed the most important message they should be paying attention to. From the SourceWatch report:

“This is truly bad news — for the bad guys,” Mark A.R. Kleinman wrote August 13, 2005. “Margolis made his prosecutorial bones doing organized crime cases, eventually rising to Chief of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, from which position he supervised the seventeen Organized Crime Strike Forces which more or less won the war on the Mafia. … Margolis has a stratospheric IQ, has been known to wear Willie Nelson t-shirts to work, is used to long investigations using somewhat edgy investigative techniques, and can’t be intimidated by anybody.”

That deserves a roach! It is so nice to finally see something productive from David Margolis.

The last I heard of David Margolis was October 29, 2008 when the Department of Justice owned up to having given an award for “Outstanding Professionalism and Exemplary Integrity” to him.

Deeply involved in the ‘Attorney-Gate’ black op, Margolis is still there. Back in October of 2008 Margolis was Associate Deputy Attorney General. He was the one guy overseeing Patrick Fitzgerald’s “I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby” prosecution. From the DU linked article appearing in Newsweek,

While the probe is sharply critical of the legal reasoning used to justify waterboarding and other “enhanced” interrogation techniques, NEWSWEEK has learned that a senior Justice official who did the final review of the report softened an earlier OPR finding. Previously, the report concluded that two key authors—Jay Bybee, now a federal appellate court judge, and John Yoo, now a law professor—violated their professional obligations as lawyers when they crafted a crucial 2002 memo approving the use of harsh tactics, say two Justice sources who asked for anonymity discussing an internal matter. But the reviewer, career veteran David Margolis, downgraded that assessment to say they showed “poor judgment,” say the sources. (Under department rules, poor judgment does not constitute professional misconduct.) The shift is significant: the original finding would have triggered a referral to state bar associations for potential disciplinary action—which, in Bybee’s case, could have led to an impeachment inquiry.

Response #7 from the DU’ers was sweet. “Aw-www, Ain’t That Precious ? …. Change you can believe in.” But it went down hill from there. Click Democratic Underground’s Justice Official Clears Bush Lawyers (Yoo & Bybee) in Torture Memo Probe to enjoy the meltdown.  The fact that Eric Holder has not over-ruled Margolis is so comforting to me. Indeed it is.

July 2007′s commutation of Scooter Libby, by George W. Bush, upset the left so much; on July 2, 2007 (quoted from an archive that did not have attribution to this, so it is quoted, as referenced from the archive):

On Monday’s Countdown, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his show railing against President Bush, contending that the President “lied us into a war” and “needlessly killed 3,584 of our family and friends and neighbors” as the Countdown host attacked the President for commuting the sentence of Lewis “Scooter” Libby, referring to Libby’s involvement in the “greatest crime of this young century.” Olbermann later tagged Bush as “Worst Person in the World,” and announced that he will call on President Bush and Vice President Cheney to resign in a “Special Comment” on Tuesday’s show. Olbermann: “As you may have suspected, tomorrow night, here on Countdown, a ‘Special Comment’ calling on this Vice President and this President to resign.”

Now, Progressives are faced with the ironic choice of giving up their life-long belief that Amerika Sucks, or as one DU’er put it, “And the cover-up continues.. f…..g sickening.. my country makes me sick.., [and] And so why not go after the career guy, Margolis? He’s the one that keeps turning up in all these White House cases that go nowhere.” Problem is, his cases always go somewhere. I really admire David Margolis, a modern day Eliot Ness. Unlike Ness, Margolis is so under the radar the Wikipedia article for the name has not been hyjacked to be his as of this writing, (here).

To keep Progressives in perspective we need only turn to one David Swanson’s Blog at Salon. “No one disputes that Jay Bybee’s name is at the bottom of memos that were, and to some extent still are, treated as laws which legalized aggressive war at the pleasure of a president and a variety of acts of torture.” See that part about “legalized aggressive war at the pleasure of a president”? Is war anything other than aggressive? Oh right. Progressive war can be just called off. Nobody loses. The part about Commander in Chief completely eludes a Progressive. With all that group-thought they tend to miss things like DUTY and HONOR and DEFENSE of one’s Nation. Nevermind that.

I just like seeing them squirm. And I just cannot wait patiently for the moment when they find out just how useful of an idiot they have been. Keep it up Margolis. The Mafia was chump change.

A useful song for Progressives to listen to:

Fox News online is running a poll.

Notice anything Fox News has missed?

What’s your take on Obama bringing back David Plouffe?

1. Smart move. Obama needs to do a better job selling his agenda.
2. I don’t get it. I know Obama needs to sell his agenda, but isn’t it time to stop campaigning against President Bush?
3. Act of Desperation. Voters told Obama his agenda isn’t selling and his speeches aren’t solving problems, so… Why not beat up on Bush!?
   Other.

Progressives have done such a grand job of making everything about style, that even good ol’ Fox News is caught up in it all.

Obama has been ‘selling’ his message. Sales do not happen because one is not selling well enough. You stupid Progressive. Sales do not happen
when the product is crap! If you ever held a job in the real would you might have learned that. Doubtful.

It is something you might wanna hurry up and learn real quick like since you now make cars and want to play doctor.

Voters didn’t tell Obama his agenda wasn’t selling. They told him his agenda is CRAP!

Voters get substance. Progressions do not know what it is. Literally.

And Fox News’ use of style would make David Plouffe so happy.

Now that’s he back No Substance, All Plouffe. Nothing is going to change unless the news starts playing in substance, or http://www.havearoach.com eventually happens. Too late for the Republic?

Today Air American Bit The Big One!
The writing on the wall is screaming.

All together now: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

From their website:

http://www.airamerica.com

When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation’s history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as “un-American” — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.
Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and a strongly Democratic Congress.
Laws have changed for the better thanks to this revival…..but all the same our company cannot escape the laws of economics. So we intend a rapid, orderly closure over the next few days. All current employees will be paid through today, January 21. A severance package will be offered tomorrow to full-time current employees with more than six months of tenure.
We will strive to assist affiliates and partners in achieving a smooth transition. Starting at 6 pm EST today, we will provide our affiliates, listeners and users a selection of encore programming until 9 pm EST on Monday, January 25, at which time Air America programming will end.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ah hem

Professor Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign, U.S.A. has filed a Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) in The Hague against U.S. citizens George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice, and Alberto Gonzales (the “Accused”) for their criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition” perpetrated upon about 100 human beings. This term is really their euphemism for the enforced disappearance of persons and their consequent torture. This criminal policy and practice by the Accused constitute Crimes against Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute establishing the I.C.C.

Click pretty much everywhere above.

Here is what Obama sent out to his minions this morning: As a ruse for collecting donations Obama has claimed this election for what it really is… a referendum on Progressivism ! Don’t let them claim something else. According to Obama this is not about a bad run for office, a poor candidate or an ill-prepared one.. it is about…..

Right now, the polls are open to elect a new senator to the seat that my friend Ted Kennedy held for 47 years.

The choice could not be more stark, and the result could not be of greater consequence — for Massachusetts or the nation.

The Bay State can send progressive champion Martha Coakley to Washington to fight for everything we believe in — health reform, getting all of our money back from Wall Street, and holding corporate interests accountable.

Or the Senate can get one more person already walking in lockstep with Washington Republicans.

The polls are still open, the choice has not been made, and you still have a crucial role to play by calling voters in Massachusetts. In a low-turnout special election like this one, every single voter counts.

Please call Massachusetts voters today.

Opponents of change and progress have been pouring money and resources into the Commonwealth — they want to keep things just as they are.

The most important thing you can do to stand up to them is call voters and urge them to get out to vote for the leader we need representing Massachusetts.

In a race as close as this one, no matter how many voters you call, you could tip the balance.

So please make sure you do everything you can today. Click here to start calling voters in Massachusetts right away:

If you were fired up in the last election, I need you more fired up in this election.

Thanks for everything you’ve done, and for your efforts in this final push,

President Barack Obama

So there ya go! He sums it up. If Brown wins today PROGRESSIVES ARE TOAST!

Today, they complain that Senate Health Bill Uses Federal Enforcement Against Individuals, but Not Private Insurers arguing that there is no penalty, enforcement against insurance companies, but they have no problem whatsoever being told and forced by Big Brother to pay for something they may otherwise not want to have, let alone pay for. Stupid people give up logic when they ignore it to spin it to their own ends. Unintended consequences be damned.

In Dear Right-Wing Bedwetters: George H.W. Bush Sought to Try Lockerbie Terrorists in US Court Firedoglake complains that way back in the late 80′s the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 which killed a total 270 people, then Director William Webster of the CIA was quoted in…

[excerpt from the Washington Post - 11/4/89]

Regarding the investigation into the mid-air bombing that killed all 259 people aboard Pan Am Flight 103 and 11 more on the ground in Scotland, [CIA Director William] Webster said the U.S. government is still not at the point where it could issue indictments and arrest warrants for anyone.

Webster praised the combined efforts of investigators from four nations to track down the terrorists responsible but said there had been “too much discussion” in the news media about their work.

“It makes it very difficult to lay traps and find new evidence when people start reading about themselves. And it makes countries and [security] services defensive. Right now the name of the game is for the bomb not to have been put on board in their country,” he said. He added that by using the term “lay traps,” he meant surveillance of suspects. [...]

Asked whether the goal is to apprehend those responsible and bring them back to the United States for trial, the CIA director replied, “That’s correct.”

Here we have an airline brought down in another country and the CIA wanting to prosecute the terrorists and that somehow means something in relation to today. Oh wait…

How times have changed.

Yep Firedoglake: its called having the homeland attacked. I know that means nothing to you and that proves my point. Firedoglake is populated with idiots.

And that begs the point.

When did we, as a society, consider all people to be sane and intelligent and replace the stupid people with an ‘ideology’ called progressive or liberal or socialist, and give them equal soapbox time? In any other ‘time’ the village idiots would marked as village idiots NOT MADE THE RULING PARTY!

Stupid would be hilarious, if it wasn’t so sad.

Gender identity disorder (GID) is a recognized psychiatric disorder.

Transgender people dispute the disorder as a mental condition, as not being a psychiatric disorder. All people with psychiatric disorders disagree they have such a disorder, or they would be SANE!

Republicans need to BLOCK the appointment of “Amanda” Simpson to the Commerce Department as public servants CANNOT BE INSANE!

Until the time comes (and since many psychiatrists are just as insane as their patients are) that GID is declared NOT to be a mental disorder, not one person who suffers from the disorder should be permitted to hold office, be appointed to government service or in any way be entrusted with anything requiring sane people to perform.

GID is not homosexuality. GID is the poster child for self-deception. A person is inside a body with male DNA, male sexual organs, and NO female sexual organs and their mental state decides they can override genetics, override and ignore physical structure and declare they are the other gender. THAT is insanity!

It is up to Republicans to set the bar on this and do it NOW! Simpson does not ‘need’ a government job. He NEEDS psyciatric help. And ‘he’ is NOT ‘she’, nomatter what he does to try to change that.

Today you are quoted by The Hill as saying,

“It just goes to show how extreme and out of touch House Republicans have become that their members would try to score political points and even raise money off the terror plot to blow up a plane and kill innocent Americans on Christmas,” DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) explained.

“It’s long past time for House Republicans to put country before political party and work with President Obama and Congressional Democrats to learn from this episode and act quickly to protect the American people,” Van Hollen added.

This, in response to Rep Pete Hoekstra,

…who is running for governor in Michigan, asked voters in a letter on Tuesday “who will stand up the Obama/Pelosi efforts to weaken our security” to donate to his gubernatorial war chest.

Well that ticked off the lunatic progressives (does not deserve a capital letter) who swore all around the room before someone made up this:

Democratic strategists Wednesday asserted President Barack Obama “has been far more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda” than the previous administration .

There is no use in arguing with a progressive. They don’t use logic. They use inductive reasoning and that always means stupid and no arguing the point as they simply cannot admit it.

But back to the DCCC and you, Chris Van Hollen:

Hoekstra did not ‘use’ anything. He stated a fact in a fund raising letter. To so much as pretend that was a bad thing is to censor by topic, those things progressives know they are wrong in but cannot admit it.

Hoekstra did accurately describe the feeling this country has about Democrats. Van Hollen’s real beef is with public opinion. If his figure head Obama would only control the press more they wouldn’t have to make stupid statements.

And… if you remember Chris, while your dummy figure head was campaigning about a fictional hope and a continual change, Senator McCain was campaigning about ‘Country First’. Your quip that, “It’s long past time for House Republicans to put country before political party” falls very flat. Reality being as it is and you’re being incapable of grasping it, as to do so would destroy your made up perspective, leaves the last part shining.

You don’t care about the country. You only care about “work with President Obama and Congressional Democrats to learn from this episode and act quickly to protect the American people”, which for a progressive can only mean three things:

that…. you are driven to proving your insanity.

Have a nice freakin’ day! and here… have a roach.

You have GOT to read this thing…. here.

Just a taste: (David Michael Green is a professor of political science at Hofstra University in New York.)

Like any good progressive, I’ve gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I’m fast getting to rage.

How much rage? I find myself thinking that the thing I want most from the 2010 elections is for his party to get absolutely clobbered, even if that means a repeat of 1994. And that what I most want from 2012 is for him to be utterly humiliated, even if that means President Palin at the helm. That much rage

I wonder how Obama likes…

Here’s a guy who was supposed to actually do something with his presidency, and he’s turned into the skinny little geek on Cell Block D who gets passed around like a rag doll for the pleasure of all the fellas with the tattoos there. He’s being punked by John Boehner, for chrisakes. He’s being rolled by the likes of Joe Lieberman. He calls a come-to-Jesus meeting with Wall Street bank CEOs, and half of them literally phone it in. Everyone from Bibi Netanyahu to the Japanese prime minister to sundry Iranian mullahs is stomping all over Mr. Happy.

And he doesn’t even seem to realize it.

Did you see him tell Oprah that he gave himself “a good solid B+” for his first year in office? And that it will be an A, if he gets his healthcare legislation passed?

Somebody please pick me up and set me back on my chair, wouldya?

Enjoy!

Trying to post a simple link to a firedoglake http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/20817 video . Software in Redstate keeps killing IE8 in Windows7 … if this works it will be a Christmas miracle. Seems to be rooted in the link button of the wysiwyg editor. Good link! And here’s the video:

Enjoy the madness of the left.

Before posting the article I received in email yesterday from the brilliant chairman of the National Black Republican Association, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, and a lawyer; Frances Rice: a follow up…….

Today in The Hill J. Taylor Rushing writes:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday defended his remarks from Monday comparing congressional Republican opposition to healthcare to the 19th-century debate over slavery, accusing his GOP critics of “distorting” his intent.

“At pivotal points in American history, the tactics of distortion and delay have certainly been present,” Reid said. “They’ve certainly been used to stop progress. That’s what we’re talking about here. That’s what’s happening here. It’s very clear. That’s the point I made — no more, no less. Anyone who willingly distorts my comments is only proving my point.”

Reid on Monday said Republicans were displaying the same mindset as those who defended slavery.

“If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,” Reid said. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, ‘Slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.’ ”

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele suggested Democrats should strip Reid of his leadership position if he does not apologize for the comments, but Senate Democrats on Tuesday defended him. Democratic Conference Secretary Patty Murray (Wash.) said there was no discussion of the topic within the caucus and no talk of a Reid apology.

Now, for the truth from Frances Rice:

Confident that liberal historians have successfully re-written civil rights history, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid brazenly compared Republican health care reform opponents to supporters of slavery, ignoring the fact that the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery while the Republican Party fought to end it. Not satisfied with just playing the race card on the senate floor, the Nevada Democrat also accused Republicans of opposing women’s suffrage, never mind that the Republican Party also championed women’s rights.

Democrats sang a different tune when inner-city minister Rev. Wayne Perryman sued the Democratic Party for that party’s 150-year history of racism, a case that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Democrats came into court and, under oath, admitted their racist past that Sen. Reid is now trying to foist on the shoulders of Republicans. In court, Democrats refused to apologize for their racism and, using an army of lawyers, relied on the legal technicality of “standing” to avoid a court order against them, knowing they can take the black vote for granted.

So, what did the Democrats admit under oath? Below are highlights of civil rights history. For additional details, see the NBRA Civil Rights Newsletter posted on the website of the National Black Republican Association.

As author Michael Scheuer stated, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. Democrats have been running black communities for the past 40 years, and the failed socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands. Incredibly, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions created by Democrats. Since the so-called War on Poverty of the 1960′s, over nine trillion dollars have been spent on poverty-related programs, with no movement in the poverty needle.

Etched in history and exposed in Perryman’s book, “Unfounded Loyalty”, is the sordid details of Democratic Party racism – past and present. The Democratic Party, through its racist agenda and “States’ Rights” claim to own slaves, sought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery from 1792 to 1865, thus keeping enslaved millions of blacks. Democrats formed the Confederacy, seceded from the Union and fought a Civil War (1861 to 1865), a war where over 600,000 citizens were killed, including many thousands of blacks. In his book, Perryman also provides the details about how the Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party, fought to free blacks from slavery and championed civil rights for blacks and women.

During the Civil War, Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 which ordered the freeing of slaves in states that were rebelling against Union forces. Republicans passed the Thirteenth Amendment on January 31, 1865 that was ratified on December 6, 1865 to abolish all slavery in the United States.

Democrats passed discriminatory Black Codes in 1865 to suppress, restrict, and deny blacks the same privileges as whites. The Codes forced blacks to serve as apprentices to their former slave masters. Democrats also prevented blacks from getting the promised “40 acres and a mule”.

In 1866, the Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats to lynch and terrorize Republicans, black and white, and the Ku Klux Klan became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party. Over 3,000 Republicans were killed by the Klan, of whom 1,000 were white and 2,000 were black. Details about the Democratic Party and the Ku Klux Klan can be found in the book “A Short History of Reconstruction” by Dr. Eric Foner.

To counter the discriminatory and terrorizing actions by Democrats, Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 that were designed to establish a new government system in the Democrat-controlled South, one that was fair to blacks. Further, the Fourteenth Amendment championed by Republicans was ratified in 1868 that granted blacks citizenship. The Fifteenth Amendment also championed by Republicans was ratified in 1870 that granted blacks the right to vote.

Determined to stop blacks from having equal rights, Democrats passed discriminatory Jim Crow Laws starting in 1875 to restrict the rights of blacks to use public facilities. In response, Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 which prohibited racial discrimination in public facilities.

Shamefully, Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws, and when the Democrats regained control of Congress in 1892, they passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil right laws enacted by Republicans.

Further, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Democrats and against blacks in the case of “Plessy v. Ferguson” in 1896 where the Supreme Court established the “separate but equal” doctrine. That opinion stated that it was not a violation of the U.S. Constitution to have separate facilities for blacks. It took Republicans nearly six decades to end these restrictions and finally get the civil rights laws of the 1950′s and 1960′s passed over the objection of the Democrats.

During the civil rights era of the 1960′s, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to stop Democrats from denying civil rights to blacks. It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican as has been affirmed by one of his nieces.

Dr. King fought against Democrat Public Safety Commissioner Eugene “Bull” Connor in Birmingham who let loose vicious dogs and turned skin-burning fire hoses on black civil rights demonstrators.

Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox famously brandished ax handles to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant. Democrat Alabama Governor George Wallace blocked the entrance of two black students at the University of Alabama in 1963 and thundered, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”. All of these racist Democrats remained Democrats until the day they died. In fact, racist Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than a Republican because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks.

The so-called “Dixiecrats” remained Democrats and did not migrate to the Republican Party. The Dixiecrats were a group of Southern Democrats who, in the 1948 national election, formed a third party, the State’s Rights Democratic Party with the slogan: “Segregation Forever!” Even so, they continued to be Democrats for all local and state elections, as well as for all future national elections.

The Democratic Party supported the Topeka, Kansas school board in opposition to school integration in the 1954 “Brown v. Topeka Board of Education” Supreme Court decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower. This landmark decision ended school segregation and declared that the “separate but equal” doctrine created by the 1896 “Plessy v. Ferguson” decision violated the 14th Amendment.

After the Brown decision, Democrat Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of a Little Rock public school. President Eisenhower sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate the schools and pushed through the 1957 Civil Rights Act. In 1958, Eisenhower established a permanent US Civil Rights Commission that had been rejected by prior Democrat presidents, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Little known is the fact that Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, pushed through the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act. In fact, Dirksen was instrumental in the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. hailed Senator Dirksen’s “able and courageous Leadership”, and “The Chicago Defender”, the largest black-owned daily at that time, praised Senator Dirksen “for the grand manner of his generalship behind the passage of the best civil rights measures that have ever been enacted into law since Reconstruction”.

The chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd (a former official in the Ku Klux Klan). Democrat Senator Byrd who conducted a filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act is still in Congress. None of those racist Democrats became Republicans.

Democrats ignore the pivotal role played by Senator Dirksen in obtaining passage of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, while heralding President Johnson as a civil rights advocate for signing the bill. Notably, in his 4,500-word State of the Union Address delivered on January 4, 1965, Johnson mentioned scores of topics for federal action, but only thirty five words were devoted to civil rights. He did not mention one word about voting rights. Information about Johnson’s anemic civil rights policy positions can be found in the “Public Papers of the President, Lyndon B. Johnson,” 1965, vol. 1, p.1-9.

In their campaign to unfairly paint the Republican Party today as racist, Democrats point to President Johnson’s prediction that there would be an exodus from the Democratic Party because of Johnson’s signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Omitted from the Democrats’ rewritten history is what Johnson actually meant by his prediction.

Johnson’s statement was not made out of a concern that racist Democrats would suddenly join the Republican Party that was fighting for the civil rights of blacks. Instead, Johnson feared that the racist Democrats would again form a third party, such as the short-lived States Rights Democratic Party. In fact, Alabama’s Democrat Governor George C. Wallace in 1968 started the American Independent Party that attracted other racist candidates, including Democrat Atlanta Mayor (later Governor of Georgia) Lester Maddox.

Democrat President John F. Kennedy is also lauded as a civil rights advocate. In reality, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act while he was a senator. After he became president, John F. Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph who was a black Republican. Dr. King criticized Kennedy for ignoring civil rights issues. This criticism was one of the reasons that Kennedy, through his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

When the King family sought help with getting Dr. King out of a Birmingham jail, Richard Nixon did not respond because he knew that no individual Republican could have any control over the actions of the racist Democrats in the South. Kennedy’s civil rights advisor, Harris Wofford who was a personal friend of Dr. King, made a telephone call on behalf of President Kennedy without Kennedy’s knowledge that resulted in Dr. King’s release. Kennedy was angry about the call because he feared that he would lose the Southern vote. History shows, though, that the call By Wofford eventually worked in Kennedy’s favor and is the primary reason so many blacks wrongly revere Kennedy today.

In the arsenal of the Democrats is a condemnation of Republican President Richard Nixon for his so-called “Southern Strategy.” These same Democrats expressed no concern when the racially segregated South voted solidly for Democrats for over 100 years, yet unfairly deride Republicans because of the thirty-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party that began in the 1970′s. Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” was an effort on his part to get fair-minded people in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were discriminating against blacks. Georgia did not switch until 2004, and Louisiana was controlled by Democrats until the election of Republican Governor Bobby Jindal in 2007.

As the co-architect of Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, Pat Buchanan provided a first-hand account of the origin and intent of that strategy in a 2002 article. In that article, Buchanan wrote that when Nixon kicked off his historic comeback in 1966 with a column about the South (written by Buchanan), Nixon declared that the Republican Party would be built on a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the “party of Maddox, Mahoney and Wallace to squeeze the last ounce of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice”.

The fact that Republicans today are not racist is explained clearly in the article “The Myth of the Racist Republicans” by Gerard Alexander that is posted on the Claremont Institute’s website.

Democrats generate false charges of racism against the Republican Party in order to keep blacks from voting for Republicans by making unfair accusations against Republican leaders such as Trent Lott who Democrats denounced for his remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond. However, there was silence when Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd praised Senator Byrd, a former official in the Ku Klux Klan, as someone who would have been “a great senator for any moment.” Senator Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan. After Thurmond had a change of heart and joined the party of freedom and equality for blacks – the Republican Party – Thurmond defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats.

While claiming to care about diversity, Democrats readily demean black Republicans who do not toe the Democratic Party’s liberal agenda line, denigrating them as “sellouts”, “Uncle Toms”, “House Negroes”, “House N-word”, and worse.

The time is now for Democrats, starting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, to stop using race baiting as a political weapon and apologize to blacks for their history of racism so that our nation can finally heal our racial wounds.

The NBRA delivered a petition in 2007 to Sen. Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding an apology for the Democratic Party’s racist history. We also sent an open letter to President Barack Obama requesting that he, as the leader of the Democratic Party, issue a formal proclamation of apology for the documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon black Americans by the Democratic Party for over 150 years.

It’s the right thing to do, but we won’t hold our breath.

DKOS Gets It Right

Read this: A Silent Coup d’état Has Already Happened in the U.S.

It is amazing to me that these nutjobs voted in the coup and now they complain? Well libs: this is what conservatives mean when we accuse you of not considering consequences.

“If people reflect and take off their ideological blinders, it’s possible to see that our entire government (Congress, the Executive, and the Judiciary) has already been taken over by Oligarchs here in the U.S. And none of this happened by coincidence. And it’s going to get worst.“

This is progressive think at work.

oligocracy is a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military, or religious hegemony… Oligarchies have been tyrannical throughout history, being completely reliant on public servitude to exist.” Public option. Cap & Trade. Card Check. Patriot Act expiring……..

Sound familiar? It should! And now even the DKOS crowd is getting on the bandwagon. How long has this coup been going on? Ask Bill Clinton. He put the first partial cabal in place starting in 1993. Hillary was a rising star, until Soros found Obama and she could not hold a candle to his acting abilities.

Can’t wait to hear what the amateur of the United States (AMOUS) has to say tonight. Lemme see …..  more troops but a target date to pull out. Not one consideration for what the troops will be doing and whether it ever matters if they bother to fight.

After tonight’s Chamberlain impersonation, the Taliban can sit take a vacation. Don’t worry ’bout it. We don’t mean to stay there. We don’t mean fight like it matters. Heck, we don’t even bother winning anything anymore, evenone needs to be equal, even on the battlefield.

Our nation is being run by communists, touting socialism as the means to the way, and they certainly don’t want to hurt anybody.

Traitors.
