I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive. So, if you are a Democrat, let me tell you about MY side of history and YOUR side of history.

My side of history is George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Your side of history is Tories who fled to Canada, Jefferson Davis, Woodrow Wilson, Bull Connor, George Wallace and Nancy Pelosi.
My side of history is freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and spirited debate. Your side of history is ThoughtCrime, Speech Codes, religious persecution and Cancel Culture.
My side of history is Brown v. Board of Ed., Loving v. VA, Gitlow v. NY, and Heller v. DC. Your side of history is Dred Scott, Korematsu and Roe v. Wade.
My side of history is Jackie Robinson. Your side of history is Colin Kaepernick.
My side of history is head held high, standing straight, hand over heart. Your side of history is sullen glances at the ground, kneeling.

I loved a good smoked brisket. I have an uncle who makes really, REALLY good brisket. In the meantime, I've had a latte (non-soy) on a rare occasion, but otherwise, I take it black, and the fanciest it usually gets is pumpkin spice flavor (bring on the gay jokes).

My side:
Senator Everett Dirksen Running the 1964 Civil rights bill through congress.
Their side:
Senator Robert Byrd using the “N”word, “White N . . . . R” during an appearance on Fox News Sunday on March 4, 2001.
Great! I saved it.
Fantastic. I wish politicians on the Right would take more time during election season to explain their politics and policies in this way.
Only downsides are an uneducated (or disinterested) public, many of the references require some knowledge of history and second, the ability to think critically and independently of everything the Left preaches non stop in the media.

I used to drink flavored coffees, but I drank so much that I last my taste for any flavored coffees. Just plain black, maybe a little cream once in a while.
Excellent EXCELLENT post! It’s a keeper! Thanks for posting it!
