It is a fact that the Democratic Party has from its inception been committed to the subjugation of human beings they deemed as chattel or insignificant. The Democratic Party Platform in 1840, 1844 and 1848 held that: "All efforts by abolitionists … to interfere with questions of slavery … are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences and … have all inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union." (See: "Democrats and Republicans In Their Own Words.")
In colloquial parlance Democrats were arguing that the owning slaves was a right based upon the good pleasure of white people so inclined, for which they were prepared to fight to preserve.
In 1852 they took an even stronger position in their platform, stating unequivocally: "The Democrat Party will resist all attempts at renewing – in Congress or out of it – the agitation of the slavery question [i.e., will oppose all efforts to abolish slavery]."
It is important to lay this foundation because it illuminates the party's contumelious arrogance and hereditary contempt for civility, which continues unabated until today.
This explains why they and the mainstream media are so symbiotically cohesive. They're genetic extensions of the same political gene pool. That's why I have great respect for the late Arnaud de Borchgrave. He was a member of a very select and limited number of honest journalists.

I find it amusing when people talk about the “old days” when journalists “had ethics” and just “reported the news.”
Ah, the good old days.
That never existed.
Yeah but then there was the “great shift” where all of those Democrats became Republicans and all of the Republicans became Democrats...
Whatever...
There was never a great shift, just great BS so the democrats could cover their crimes.
Since 1860 all the great Presidents were Republican. Lincoln, TR, Reagan and Trump.
The Democrat Party is and has always been the Party of Hate and Evil.
Yeah it’s total BS, but that doesn’t stop the lyin’ rats from making these claims, unchallenged since the beginning of this country..
The good old days was way back when there were self-proclaimed Democratic and Republican newspapers who announced their preference on the front page.
When the mass media started pretending they were “objective”, they became shameless liars and cynical propagandists.
The “old” approach is currently used in England—the media does not hide who they are (except for the dirt-bag BBC, of course).
Yeah, I remember reading about that.
That’s going back to the days of Martin Van Buren...
Don’t forget saint FDR and the Japanese internment camps..Dems never seem to talk about that..Wonder why?????
That’s why I have great respect for the late Arnaud de Borchgrave.
Everyone should at sometime or other read “The Spike”!
Our modern media is the logical conclusion of this.
Yes, FDR, who gave us the IRS.
It is even better—FDR used the census data to find out where to find the Japanese Americans so they could round them up and throw them in camps—and the census bureau has _never_ publicly and officially admitted they lied about it ever since...
