Beto O’Rourke has taken the measure of America and found it wanting.
“This country, though we would like to think otherwise,” he intoned last weekend, “was founded on racism, has persisted through racism and is racist today.”
This is now a mainstream sentiment in the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders said earlier this year that the United States was “created” in large part “on racist principles.”

So, is civilization racist? Those who would call civilization racist don’t have the first idea about the value of civilization.
I blow such people off entirely. They flat effin do not matter. Let them stew in their own vile juice.
What was Spain doing Beto? electing Washington to conquer Mexico?
Where did slavery originate?
Hint, it was not here.
Bernie is a hoot, he lives in the whitest state in America.
The Marxist DemonCRAPs want to change the results of the American Revolution. Perhaps a Dossier on George Washington.
Bob “Beto” O’Rourke = Class A pendejo.
As Rush pointed out - Do not legitimize this argument. Trying to refute it is tantamount to accepting the premise.
I would go one step further. Since the Communists believe the counttry should be abolished, start with the government. After all, they made all the laws. They are responsible; so get rid of them. All. Every one of them. Take power away (and the TV cameras) and Nancy, Chuckie, Adam, Jerry and the rest of the Fake Congress will have to find REAL jobs.
Ditch digging, septic tank repair and construction sign holders come to mind.
Meanwhile the protesters in Hong Kong are waving American flags and singing OUR national anthem. (And they stand.)

Only Heaven is perfect. But the reason why immigrants the world over long to be here or are at least inspired by what has unfolded here in the few short years of our existence as a nation — is because they know our country is defined by the redemptive power of the principles we were founded upon...which overpower any shadows cast by our mistakes.
Is it any wonder that Martin Luther King himself said his very dream was to see our nation live up to its creed? “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”
He was quoting Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner.
MLK understood more than anyone the inherent flaws that were present at our founding but he didn’t go around disavowing Jefferson did he?
I detest ignorance such as this.
Beta needs to read a good history book or two.
Even at the time of MLK’s death, this country had outlawed slavery for longer than it had ever had allowed it (105 years versus 80 years); this BS “400th anniversary” is just propaganda to whip blacks back onto the Dem plantation.
The last few years have been remarkable in the opening of the eyes of many blacks in terms of the half century they’ve squandered as the Dems’ tools; more and more can see they’ve gotten nothing but worse living conditions/more dependency from the deal.
Amen
TIME TO BRING THIS UP
During the period after the civil war known as reconstruction black legislators who were Republican were elected in the south To stop this democrats came up with segregation poll taxes and Jim Crow laws and the KKK
We're just barely hanging on. And our territory is shrinking by the day.
Tulsa is rapidly going down the toilet, what with us allowing the addict filth to steal the vote on legal pot. Now we've got trashy "dispensaries" all over town, and every other billboard trying to sell that crap.
Of course, our requisite tent population is growing accordingly.
The utopian dream. /s
If it's happening in Tulsa, no place is immune from liberal filth (mostly kalifornians) infesting the place.
I wish someone in the crowd had yelled out “Are you a moron or something?”
“was founded on racism,...”
Democrats love to pick at old scars and make them bleed again, stir old s**t, and complain of the smell, while hiding their own complicity in the matter.
The left must destroy America’s foundation if they are to destroy America.
What's even more amazing is that they told us what they planned, and they still succeeded.
We must be an incredibly stupid nation for this to have happened. And to continue to allow it to happen is no less than insane.
Leftist movements flourish by misdirecting attention to egalitarian theories & false grievances.
