With Obama and the left in the midst of trying to steal Lincoln, I doubt that these facts of history will be played up by the Democrats and their friends in the mainstream.

I don’t think the Alabama Democrats or anyone else in 1901 had ever heard of “African Americans”. The sooner we drop this ridiculous appellation, the better off we all will be.

Racial equality stems from individual freedoms, a tenant of the Republican party (the old Republican party). Why have we been silent while the Democrats have re-written history, hijacked Lincoln’s legacy and painted the Republicans as bigots?

Southern Democrats, other black activists, Kennedy/Johnson’s FBI, and angry, cuckolded husbands, they were all King’s enemies.

And in 1960, before the general election, MLK, Sr. became a Democrat and never looked back. Unfortunately, this discussion that comes up from time to time has been riddled with inaccuracies, and I think we’d be better off directing our energies elsewhere.
