Most people, including Republicans themselves, seem not to know the history of their own party. The Republican party was founded in a Wisconsin school house in 1854 specifically as an abolitionist, or anti-slavery party. Just as now, the Democrats voted in lockstep and managed through skull duggery and creative use of the rules, to keep slavery alive in the United States. Our first President, Abraham Lincoln, was elected in 1860, and led to the slave states seceding and shortly the Civil War.
Andrea Widburg, over at the American Thinker has a post that claims that We are witnessing the Demorats' final revenge for losing the Civil War. She makes a compelling case.
The British brought African slavery to American shores. The Democrats elevated slavery to a sacrament and fired the first shots in the Civil War to defend it. When the Democrats lost the Civil War, they initiated Jim Crow laws to marginalize Blacks. Despite this, Black Americans prospered, until the Democrats unleashed the mightiest weapon of all: Killing them with “kindness.” We’re seeing the results of that play out across America.
In Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio brought Katherine the shrew to heel by abusing her ferociously while calling it love. Eventually, the cognitive dissonance broke her, and she became the wealthy, subordinate woman of Petruchio’s dreams.
Democrats, apparently, have studied their Shakespeare. Since the start of LBJ’s “Great Society” and the welfare state, Democrats have been breaking American Blacks in the same way Petruchio broke Katherine. If one were to pay attention solely to the rhetoric, there can be no greater love than that which leftists in politics, the media, academia, and the corporate world have for Blacks. The results of this abundant affection have been devastating.While a great many whites were caught up in Johnson's "great society," the truth is that these laws were aimed at blacks. Dad was replaced by Uncle Sugar as the family bread winner. Every child needs both a father and a mother to model proper behavior of both. But boys are especially harmed because of the lack of a male role model. They often join gangs as a way to find that sort of role model. But gangs model criminal behavior, show little reqard for life, do not promote religion, and otherwise turn these boys into criminals. LBJ's "Great Society" has destroyed the nuclear black family, not so called white supremacists.
“Hands up, don’t shoot.” “I can’t breathe.” “I’m a crazy white lady screaming at cops on behalf of Black people.” “Math is racist.” “Ambition is racist.” “The English language is racist.” “Whites are born racist.” “Melanin makes people superior.” (That last is a paraphrase of Kristen Clarke, Biden’s nominee to head the equal rights division of the Justice Department.) Lower academic standards. Separate dorms. Separate dining halls. Critical Race Theory. White Privilege. Ibram X. Kendi bestsellers. BLM. Defund the police. ACAB. It’s all so gosh-darn loving.Widburg is correct. Even Democrats once upon a time recognized it. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat made much the same points at the time. But the Democrats have always been the party of slavery, of Jim Crow, of the KKK. As Patricia McCarthy notes also at the American Thinker:
The left now has a principal tactic for winning and keeping power: indicting this nation's founding, its legacy of slavery, and all people not "of color" for "systemic racism." It's a ridiculous charge, given the fact that nearly 700,000 lives were lost to freeing the slaves and that it was the Democrats that fought freeing the slaves so hard that even after losing the Civil War, they put Jim Crow laws into place.
Remember that the KKK was the military arm of the Democrat party. The Democrats have been the party of racism from the beginning. It was the pernicious slave system that led to the founding of the Republican Party, and its first president, Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
It was the Democrats who opposed integration in the 1950s and early 1960s. Joe Biden was one of the Democrats who was the most overtly racist for most of his career. Chances are he still is. His administration is dedicated to the notion that (1) blacks cannot navigate the process of attaining legitimate identification and (2) they are and will always remain victims of white people. Talk about soft bigotry of low expectations!The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution were written by men steeped in centuries of Christian thought. They have always looked upon these documents with jaundiced eye, because they do not allow them to do what they want most. I would note too that, as Christians, making the color of your skin your defining characteristic, and by extension, that of others, is a sin. Making you sexuality, your gender, or anything other than being a child of the Living God is a sin. Let us get back to Martin Luther King's test of judging a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin.
