The ugly history of the Democrat party part twenty six

This final installment exposes the hatred Democrats have for all minorities and for conservatives. It wraps up the argument for never letting these people be in charge of our lives. Jim Crow Laws

When the Democrats were forced at gun point to free their slaves they passed new laws called Jim Crow laws which added subtlety to their oppression. The result of these laws brought about de facto rather than de jure slavery.

From 1876 through 1965 the Democrats did whatever they could to destroy the hopes and dreams of African Americans living in the old Confederacy. They made racial discrimination the way of life for millions of people.

With the end of the “Reconstruction Era” in the South came implied promises from Democrats that they would ease their vicious attacks on African American Freedmen. They had negotiated a withdrawal of federal troops from their cities by saying and promising anything they had to, but as always the Democrats were liars. They had no intention of acting honorably. Once the last blue uniform left the South, Democrats started passing laws that would take the place of the “Black Codes” they had used during the Reconstruction period to oppress African Americans in their communities.

To take the place of many of the more difficult to defend laws known as “Black Codes,” the Southern Democrats introduced a new set of anti-African American laws wrapped in the cloak of their insidious “separate but equal” doctrine known by the more benign sounding name of “Jim Crow Laws.”

To further distance themselves from the oppression they were crushing African Americans with, the Democrats who ran all of the Southern States after Reconstruction turned a blind eye to the Ku Klux Klan.

Combined with the KKK’s lynchings, beatings and general harassment...

If you’re among the ranks of Americans increasingly concerned with where Obama and the leftist Democrats have dragged this country but believe that YOUR vote is inconsequential or irrelevant, spend a few minutes watching the video at the link below. It should be enough to get you to the polls tomorrow.  We’re living through a modern incarnation of ancient Rome’s “bread and circuses” as the Vandals stormed the gates.
Trust me when I offer that the outcome will be the same!
Let me tie this video to perhaps THE most critical issue bearing on our future. That’s the push by fedzilla to hike their assistance to college students for that much vaunted “higher education”.
With some exceptions notable by their rarity, the left dominates the academic institutions in this country. What better way to increase their numbers than to subsidize putting millions of OUR sons and daughters in classrooms controlled by ardent leftist indoctrinators? How many parents do you know who scrimped to put a kid into one of these places only to find the kid, home during a break, spouting leftist anti-capitalist nonsense? Our family isn’t very large – but I can name several.
Time to put some ADULTS BACK IN CHARGE!
Watch – and SHARE the video and this email – THEN GET OUT TOMORROW AND
VOTE!!!!!!!!
(While most all the issues these folks are advancing will take us far away from the traditional values that have made America the envy of the world – TO WHICH the oppressed flee – to a place from which we may never return, in classic “broken clock” manner, you will see a handful of positive issues in that fast flash sequence.)

Totally irrelevant where the parties stood 20 years ago or more. Totally irrelevant if my forefathers hated blacks or were slaves, or jews or catholics or protestants. I am me, not them.

So the Anglicans of 150 years ago were all pro-gay too now?

Today’s republican party is as pro-abortion and pro-gay as Reagan’s?

I used to want to listen to both sides. 20 years ago. Now, just shut the heck up! I already know what stupidity is going to come out of your mouth!

My only criticism is that the legislators were not singularly guilty on this count. The Supreme Court upheld principles of segregation. The entire southern Church, which disgusts me to this day, found fanciful reasons to justify continued slavery. And the average Joe and Jill in the South favored these laws. The legislators actually had the full consent of those they governed, excepting African Americans of course.
