Question for the Senator (Majority Leader Harry Reid)
Six Meat Buffet ^ | December 8, 2009

Senator Reid,

If Republicans are as bigoted and obstructionist to the causes of ending racism as sexism as you implied this week, and if Democrats are so plainly the party of human mercy, then why at every turn are Republicans so eager to expound on their civil rights history, while Democrats must always obfuscate their historical role by deflection, propaganda, and outright lies?

Example: Today’s Democrats claim Thomas Jefferson as their founder. He formed the Democratic-Republican Party based upon strong republican principles, namely opposition to large government and a national bank. That party no longer exists, but closely resembles the conservative and libertarian parties of today. For today’s Democrat party, which embraces different rules for different groups, and strong governmental control of people’s lives, to seek to own him as a symbol shows a shocking level of intellectual dishonesty, and willful historical ignorance.

Be honest. Which party is the one that has historically stood in the way of positive progress? Which party stood in the doorways of public schools and tried to keep the blacks and whites separate but failed? Which party is so keen on creating artificial divisions in order to maintain control? Check out the Democrat’s website, under “People” there are several categories. I guess some folks are people, and some folks need to be convinced that they are disabled by their color, religion, sexuality, class or creed and need a special designation so they can get a special ramp to personhood provided by the Democrat party?

While being surrounded by the ugly facts, it must feel good to have a conservative dressed as a monster to use as a human shield, but what I can’t understand is why he lets you get away with it.

Robert Byrd was a member of The Ku Klux Klan. Last time I saw he is still a Democrat. There was a time he might have been a member of a lynch party trying to prevent a black man gaining access to The White House.

Socialist Democrats keep weak stupid people full of hate an fear an dependent on the state for their every need. Told by their handlers what they can an can’t do , where an when etc.

Conservative Republicans let smart an strong people become physically an fiscally self reliant to a point they can inovate an improve the nation as individuals willing to accept responsibility for their own success an or failures.

My opinion / observation only......

Stay Safe !
