uexpress/yahoo ^ | 1/8/14 | Richard Reeves

Posted on 01/10/2014 6:23:42 AM PST by Vaquero

LOS ANGELES -- It is refreshing for me to find myself in agreement with "mainstream" Republicans, beginning with House Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Paul Ryan. I think.

Yes, the Dim aristocrats are in total agreement with the RINO aristocrats:

“We need to put these uppity serfs back in their place.”

Hey, yahoos at Yahoo.com, REMEMBER **DEMOCRAT** ROBERT BYRD...

He was your HERO in the Senate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd#Participation_in_the_Ku_Klux_Klan
__________________________________________________________

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

George Wallace was a DEMOCRAT.

Those of us who lived through those times remember it was always the Republicans taking the lead to see the Negro get his full civil rights, MSM lies notwithstanding.

Byrd was typical of the Dems.

Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman
by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.

The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.

The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

The communist left must be having some serious nightmares about November. They have stepped up their blitzkrieg against the TEA Party taxpayers.

George Wallace was the antithesis of the T.E.A. party. He was NEVER known to be a low-taxation, limited-government kind of guy, and in fact, was a great admirer of the FDR New Deal, and was something of a populist himself, based on the handout crowd that made up the core of his electorate.

He may have pictured himself as “independent”, but mostly he was sticking it in the ear of those Democrats that were trying to marginalize him, not because of any sympathies for honesty and transparency in matters of legislative and executive importance.

And speaking of racists, Yahoo, they come in other colors you know...

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology (Paperback)

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

The tea party has been called racists, homophobes, bigots, luddites, old white guys and rednecks but to compare the Tea Party to Democrats is really and truly beyond the pale.

This level of mudsligging is completely unacceptable!

"In 1968," Rauch writes, "George C. Wallace, a former Democratic governor of Alabama, led a nationwide populist rebellion among conservatives. Though his American Independent Party presidential campaign drew votes from both mainstream parties, it mainly devastated the Democrats, who never recovered among conservative whites or in the South.

Nonsense. Jimmy Carter won the entire south, except Virginia, in 1976. George Wallace was never a conservative. He was a big spending statist.

Liberals are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real issue they have with chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

They are all orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

It’s not just Wallace that was a Democrat. So were the people that voted for him. Consider that in 1968, there were three candidates: Nixon, R; Humphries, D, and Wallace, I. In a three way race, the winner is the one who doesn’t have his vote split by the independent. Nixon, the Republican won because Wallace split the Democratic vote.

>>Ryan, saying he was “frustrated” with the purity demands of the tea partyers, added: “You don’t get everything you want in divided government.” <<

Hey Ryan, it’s not that we want EVERYTHING; we want SOMETHING. Something other than one capitulation after another to the Pelosi-Reid-Elmer Fudd triumvirate from Hell. We’ve asked politely to stop the out of control spending. You and your fellow Whigs increase spending. We’ve marched on Washingto several times and we’ve been ignored. Now, you want to be rid of us. Good move right before election. Let me know how that works out with fund raising, volunteers and votes.
