Memo to: Nikki Haley (and the rest of the GOP) –Thanks for opening the flood gates.
6/25/2015 | Self

Posted on 06/25/2015 6:31:43 AM PDT by Voice of Reason88

Dear Ms. Haley: Has it dawned on you that you cannot – repeat - Cannot placate a mob of leftists bent on the destruction of freedom? That should have been obvious to you BEFORE your pandered to the masses. But alas, it should be readily apparent to you NOW.

You could have simply waited a few news cycles and the whole thing would have blown over with the media chasing after yet another squirrel. This is what Communists on the Country’s left do all the time – they Stonewall (oops! Can I even use that expression any more?) delay and demur and questions on the controversy de jour until enough time passes that the masses move on to the latest on what the Kardashians are doing or some other mindless pabulum. This is Hillary Clinton’s ongoing media strategy, but rest assured she will clue everyone in on her excuses from breaking the law somewhere along towards the end of 2nd or 3rd term in the oval office.

But hey, instead of following that tried and true method and having the whole thing burn itself out right around now, you choose to throw a big ‘Ol bucket of gasoline on the fire pandering to the DemoMob. Now with your attempt at appeasement, the freedom hating leftist can now point to YOU and other denizens of the GOP for justification for their lynching of history.

You and the RINO pack could have tried to weather the storm a few days and it would have blown itself out, but instead you decided to reward them and encourage them to press on making even more insane demands.

Make my words, they will keep on making more and more outrageous demands until you have to put you foot down – THEN they will turn on you and act as though you didn’t try to appease them in the first place.

So let’s have a new rule – call it the Nikki rule:

Any time there is a Controversy like this WAIT at least 5 –7 days before even considering any type of pandering aside from the perfunctory short press statements that don’t actually say anything.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. One other thing, your aspirations for higher office are toast at this point, that should be painfully obvious to you by now. And it should serve as an object lesson for anyone in the GOP that wishes to follow your path to destruction.

The confederate battle flag on state grounds is for South Carolina to decide. Nowhere else. The flag in Alabama and Mississippi is for Alabama and Mississippi to decide. Nowhere else.

A simple strategy of jumping on the bandwagon and calling for the names of democrats associated with the KKK or racism in any shape form or fashion being removed from any govt building or public display would shut it up quick.

Start calling for Bill Clinton’s name to be removed from any govt property because he racial profiled and engaged in voter disenfranchisement.

Have B Clinton’s picture removed from the WH because he is an admitted racist.

Robert Byrd, Wilson, all the rest have their names and likeness stricken/removed from any public display.

Introduce bills in congress demanding all schools teach the racist history of the democrat party or loose govt funding.

Introduce bills in congress demanding the democrat party pay reparations for slavery.

No matter how ridiculous, play the dem game and go for it.

Cloward-Piven them.

Make the dems live up to their own standards I love it! Fight fire with fire. Only one problem however - the Dems don't have standards...

This won’t end until someone puts a stop to it.

And then that person will have the all manner of excrement throw at them.

As I said this should be an object lesson for those in the GOP who wish to follow in her footsteps.

“the Dems don’t have standards...”

They don’t have standards but they do have a completely phony image with blacks and other minorities they need to keep up.

They are the ones that created the mob mentality, use the mob mentality against them. It doesn’t make any difference to the mob who they target, they are just looking for someone to target.

Reparations for slavery?
When a black woman is one of the richest people in America?
When a black man was Secretary of State??
When a black woman was Secretary of State?
When black men have sat — and do sit — on the Supreme Court??
When a black would-be despot sits in the White House?????
When countless black men have risen to the top of the ranks of the richest in professional sports and show business?? Men like Hank Aaron. And until the recent allegations of sexual misconduct, men like Bill Cosby who, despite his support for Obama, spoke out against the cultural rot and violence among his black brethren causing the race pimps to call him either an Uncle Tom or Oreo Cookie.)
And, how about Liberation Theology?
Liberation from WHAT? The chance to achieve and succeed??
Give me a break!!
Let me make it clear right up front: I am NOT a racist. I supported Herman Cain in his run for the Senate and supported him in his run for the WH. And if Allen West or Dr. Carson (need some clarification of Dr. Carson’s position on the Second Amendment) go for it, they, too, have my support.
I also consider Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams two of the finest economists and minds extant today. In case you don’t know them, both are black.
Sowell, Williams and Cain – among others — have spoken out against those fellow blacks who castigate and vilify America for a slavery now long in our past. And ALL thinking men and women oppose the periodic calls for reparations. (When he ran, I supported Alan Keyes. I even spoke in his stead on the RTKABA at a Capitol rally and was asked to fill in for him on his radio show at the time. Sadly, while I still consider Alan a good man, I have had to rethink my support since he came out FOR reparations.)
The fact is that the modern descendants of slaves brought here in chains in admittedly miserable, soul-gutting conditions now calling for reparations need to remember something:
They should not only be glad to be in America, they should be glad to be ANYWHERE!
Had their ancestors NOT been brought OUT of Africa – many by MUSLIM slave raiders —the blood of those ancestors would have run into the earth over there several centuries ago, victims of the OTHER black tribes that captured them in one of the interminable tribal conflicts STILL ravaging that sad continent and these modern day would-be “plaintiffs” would not even exist.
And I would remind you that slavery is STILL practiced in parts of Africa (mainly by – American BLACK MUSLIMS LISTEN UP!! — MUSLIMS), the Middle East and Asia today. How ironic that disgruntled American blacks are embracing a system that participated mightily in their initial bondage – and would, if Islam takes root here, probably put any who cling to their Christianity back INTO BONDAGE – or to the sword. In fact, as the majority of muslims consider black folks as “sub-human”, many of you black muzzies will get the axe.
95% of the African slaves who were transported across the Atlantic went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions, and that less than 5% of the slaves who crossed the Atlantic went to the United States, it was remarkable that the vast majority of academic research, films, books and articles concerning the slave trade concentrated only on the American involvement, as though slavery was a uniquely American aberration.
And should the great-great-great grandchildren of SLAVE OWNING BLACKS also be subject to PAYING these reparations? If so, how do we find THEM?
And I have traced MY family back to the SLAVS. Although the term looks to be related to “slave,” depending on your source, it either means “glory” or “worshipper.” But my family research indicates that many of my ancestors LIVED lives of virtual or real slavery to some despot or other. Do I qualify for reparations? From whom?? And it begs a question: Are most of us now living here headed into a modern form of that servitude? But that – and the slave history of the Irish, the heritage of both myself and my wife – is a topic for another discussion.
The official US Census of 1830 lists 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans. The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners.
-”Selling Poor Steven”, American Heritage Magazine, Feb/Mar 1993 (Vol. 441) p 90
Of course, a full telling of Black History would not be complete without a recitation of the origin of slavery in the Virginia colony:
Virginia, Guide to The Old Dominion, WPA Writers’ Program, Oxford University Press, NY, 1940, p. 378
A few more salient points on the subject:Until the US declared independence, the Colonies were REQUIRED by the King of England to embrace slavery.
The Northwest Ordinance (1789) prohibited slavery in federal territories.
A law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the US became effective in 1808.
Beginning in 1820, the Democratic Congress started passing laws allowing and encouraging slavery.
It was only after the Republican Party (many of whom were southern Blacks) was formed some 40 years later that the anti-slavery movement was able to move forward.
And the holier-than-thou Northern liberals are strangely silent on recent archeological evidence from NEW YORK CITY clearly tracing the financing of the slave trade to NORTHERN BUSINESSMEN!!
At the height of his remarkable boxing career, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay), once declared, “I’m glad my great-grandpa got on that boat.”
And speaking of ancestors, my paternal grandmother’s daddy, William Henry Robinson, joined with the 80th Ohio Volunteer Infantry early in the War Between the States (re-upped twice) and fought on the Union side at Vicksburg, Jackson and elsewhere in the deep South then joined up with Sherman for that infamous march to the sea through Georgia. My wife’s great-great grandpappy ALSO fought for the Union. While I revere the memory of my ancestors, inasmuch as that conflict was less about slavery than it was the economic exploitation and abuse of the South by the North, I fear they MAY have been on the wrong side.
Author Robert Hitt Neill tells of attending a Tennessee Mountain Writer’s Conference years ago with several other authors. Among them was Alex Hailey, celebrated author of “Roots.” Watching a TV news show, a group of them watched a demonstration in a Southern state against the “Rebel” flag incorporated into that state’s flag. The very next report covered a famine in Africa. Graphic images showed dead bodies, starving children with distended tummies and runny noses and dying people covered with flies, too weak to brush them away.
Mr. Hailey intoned in a low, serious voice, “Every time an American black sees a story like that, they should find a Confederate flag and kiss it.” He then pointed to the TV screen and continued, “Because these would be me and my descendants, except for American slavery. I thank God that my family and I are here instead of there.”
Next problem!
Dick Bachert
AFTERWORD:
A brief review of the FACTS on the subject:
Until the US declared independence, we were required by the King of England to embrace slavery.
The Northwest Ordinance (1789) prohibited slavery in federal territories.
A law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the US became effective in 1808.
Beginning in 1820, the Democratic Congress started passing laws allowing and encouraging slavery.
It was only after the Republican Party (many of whom were southern Blacks) was formed some 40 years later that the anti-slavery movement was able to move forward.

The mob is the base form of democracy.

Did you know that the founding fathers had a great deal of disdain for that concept?

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!

Reparations? I just leave this here for you:

More “Reparations” Talk At Commie Conference

He goes on to fantasize about what an American socialism would look like. “Under a socialist government, every person would have unrestricted access to food, clothes, shelter, health care, quality education, and gainful employment. Jobs would be a right, with a 30 hour work week, with benefits provided by the government, including free childcare. Poverty would be eliminated by providing a living wage for all… No one would pay more than 10% of their income on housing.”

“The destruction of white supremacy will be a priority of the new socialist government, with reparations being paid to black Americans for the centuries of unpaid labor and super exploitation under enslavement, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, and other forms of institutionalized disenfranchisement. All government treaties with Native Americans will be honored and restitutions will be made for the land and resources stolen by the deposed capitalist class.”

He goes on to make the case for why socialism would work here, where it failed elsewhere, and, ironically, ends up making a case against socialism. “You may be asking if a socialist revolution in American can even be possible. The answer is yes. Emphatically YES! In fact, in this country, the early stage of building socialism would look completely different than it ever has, because the vast resources and technological advancements that exist here would mean there would immediately be a situation of abundance. There would be enough housing and doctors and food for everyone, not just in this country, but around the world. Unlike in countries that have revolutions, but were still struggling to overcome underdevelopment, and the legacy of colonialism and feudalism, after the old system was overturned… Because of the advancements that we have in America, we would be spared that process.”

Until — like John Galt — the PRODUCERS stopped producing and they morons at the top RAN OUT OF GOODIES TO DISPENSE.
Then the riots would begin, heralding the end of yet another failed experiment.

The mob has already been created, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Turn the mob against the people that created the mob for their own benefit and they will learn not to create a mob for their own benefit for fear it will once again be turned against them.

The GOP wouldn’t learn their lesson if a someone hit them literally upside the head with a shovel, they are really that stupid when it comes to dealing with their good friends across the aisle.

I am convinced this whole witch hunt the left is on will result in creating more people who will be racist that were not before this little sleigh ride into insanity began. When you broadly paint entire race as racist and no matter what they do or say they will still be condemned for actions their ancestors may or may not have done 200 years ago or for the actions of a few people, eventually those accused people will say to hell with this! They hate me, well guess what I now hate them. What a damned shame...
