Every time you think they can’t get any more depraved, demented and despicable, the Democrat Party leaders go and prove you wrong. – Last night, in I guess an effort to show solidarity with a handful of radical activists from the American Indian community, the official Twitter feed of the Democrat Party – @TheDemocrats – did this:
First, let’s look at the claims in that tweet: They are all completely false. The Trump Administration has made no effort to limit voting rights for Native Americans, and has gone to heroic lengths to ensure their communities have had access to the same medical relief related to COVID-19 that every other American has received. Those are simply despicable lies spread by activists who can never be satisfied, much of whose anger stems from President Trump’s refusal to continue Obama’s patently illegal blocking of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which he allowed to be completed in 2017.
From the piece at the Guardian, here is what one activist says about Mount Rushmore and “white supremacy”:
“Mount Rushmore is a symbol of white supremacy, of structural racism that’s still alive and well in society today,” said Nick Tilsen, a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe and the president of a local activist organization called NDN Collective.
“It’s an injustice to actively steal indigenous people’s land then carve the white faces of the conquerors who committed genocide.”
While some activists, like Tilsen, want to see the monument removed altogether and the Black Hills region returned to the Lakota, others have called for a share in the economic benefits from the region and the tourists it attracts.
[End]
No question, the U.S. government in the 18th and 19th centuries – and even in the early 20th century – committed heinous acts against Indian populations in America. But the Mount Rushmore monument is now a national park and has been for many decades. The federal government has an absolute right to hold a fireworks display in a national park if it chooses to do so. Many Democrat presidents of the past have done exactly that.
My favorite part of the Guardian story is that it repeats the specious and unfounded claim that Mount Rushmore’s initial sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. If that were true – and there is no proof that it is – that would mean that there is about a 99.9% chance that Borglum was in fact a Democrat, given that the KKK was nothing other than the military wing of the Democrat Party.
The Guardian is so journalistically depraved and careless that it also includes the almost certainly false claim that Teddy Roosevelt once said that, “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are.” That claim is like a typical article in the New York Times – based on complete hearsay with no real supporting evidence.
The Democrats have since deleted that tweet, which seems odd, because doing that would almost display a sense of shame and self-awareness, which we all know are not a part of the makeup of any leading Democrat these days. Plus, the taking-down of the tweet happened too quickly for the party to have taken a poll to gauge the public response to it, which is how the Party makes pretty much any decision. So, it’s hard to explain.
In any event, it is now a thing that, to be a member in good standing of the Democrat Party, one must oppose July 4 celebrations and presumably view the literal founding day of our nation, the seminal event that created what has become the greatest nation in human history, as nothing more than a “white supremacist” event.
All you Democrat voters out there must be so darn proud to support this stuff.
That is all.
Whatever.
Celebrate big and loud. F everyone of these aholes.
Places, things, and people.
The Dems haven’t been this pissed off since Lincoln took away their slaves. Everything they’ve done since is some ploy or other to get them back, while blaming others for it.
Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any mention of July 4 at all in that article.
Democrats are passionate about socialism and globalism, not America or its heritage.
Okay then. Treat it as a White Supremacy Celebration. The only logical way to fight back effectively is to be the picture of everything they charge us with unabashedly and proudly. Make them eat it. perhaps they will leave the country and go somewhere they can take over and be their own Supremacists unannoyed.
Absolutely!
Probably 40% of white folks will hasten to agree with them and will loudly abjure those exposed examples of WP. The cops and pols on their knees and shining the shoes of Thug Supremacists indicates that the country is already lost. we are not resisting. We folded like an origami for the newborn tyrants in the state capitals and mayor’s offices all over the land. Most people are putting their masks back on because all the petty generalissimos are decreeing it. Mask makers have divined a long market before it runs out and perhaps it will not run out. Next season’s regular seasonal flu will be treated just like this years Chinese flu and we will all get to Panic! all over again.I am just a bit sour and cynical.
White politicians parading this, funny
Probably 40% of white folks will hasten to agree with them
It's more like 75%, or perhaps higher.
We have become a nation of herbivores - and herbivores get harvested.
Independence Day has been canceled in many areas. CV19 is the excuse, but not the real reason. The left hates this country and is in process of destroying all the symbols of this country’s former greatness.
I guess we also committed heinous acts against the Germans and the Japanese.
There was a lot of space here in North America when Europeans arrived. There was plenty of room for everyone. Unfortunately hotheads among both the Europeans and the Indians occasionally committed criminal acts against upon one another. Sometimes these acts escalated into little wars. And then little wars escalated into bigger wars. We had more guns. The Indians lost.

Vicksburg Mississippi quit celebrating the Fourth after General Grant captured the city on July 4, 1863. So will they be racist if they still don’t, or if they do?
It does not matter that Teddy Roosevelt said such a thing. The propaganda organs said that he did, so it must be so. It is the trooth of the Party and if you disagree, you be racist, you lose your job, you’re less than human.
I don't quote him to give his voice a wider range, but to rattle some patriot cages that this respected, educated white has reached a very different conclusion and is spreading his contempt for the American Way at every opportunity. I saw several FB'ers rush to his defense.
He wrote:
"[M]y belief that 'The American Lifestyle' is in the process of coming to an end, not because BLM is protesting racism, but because the world has gone global and national boundaries are becoming increasingly meaningless in such a world. Maintaining the frankly incredible gap between the living standards of the richest and poorest in this world has become very difficult, and it's only going to get harder from here.
American CEO's have expressed their remarkable freedom by sending American jobs to the lowest bidder, raising the living standard of people in Bangladesh by a remarkable amount, inevitably at the expense of Americans. This is concurrent with an enormous displacement of low-skilled workers in almost every field by automation (robotics and now AI).
The American way of life that I think you're referring to is quite obviously already over" (emphais mine).
His argument has many flaws, one of the largest of which is that he's out to stifle all voices that don't conform to the MSM story lines, just as the CEO of YouTube threatened to takedown any video that went against the World Health Organization narrative.
Conservatives are through this kind of treatment becoming the new Jews of the 2020's. They hate us now. They'll gleefully put us in Pol Pot-style re-education camps while giving Greta Thunberg types an ample supply of gallon-size plastic bags.
If you don't want the Pol Pot treatment, we all best gear up for the deadly serious fight ahead! "Defend and protect at all costs!"
....did not say such a thing...
They can always dig up their latest Horst Wessel and parade the corpse as a counter-celebration. I haven’t considered democrats to be actual Americans for years and their voters to be mental midgets
All your barbecue are belong to us.
Trump will be at Mt Rushmore for the 4th.
