One of the most incredible accomplishments in the annals of global propaganda is the idea that Republicans in the United States are opposed to civil rights for individuals and the Democrats are for them.

n the summer of 1964, James Chaney, Mickey Schwerner, and Andy Goodman left Oxford, Ohio to go and register blacks to vote in Mississippi. As they well understood, a vast network of self-styled vigilante "justice" existed in citizen councils, State Sovereignty commissions, the KKK, and many other locally oriented partisans aimed to intimidate and if necessary, kill them. For these civil rights activists from the Congress of Racial Equality led by James Farmer Jr., there was little hope of registering blacks to vote and educating black children about their inherent dignity without the protection and law enforcement of the federal government. This nexus of local authoritarians refused federal intervention in their state in a manner not unlike their refusals when Republican president Ulysses S. Grant sent troops into the South to prevent the repeal of civil rights for blacks in the aftermath of the civil war. The Democrat Party has since the inception of the Republican Party in the 1850s refused to accept the federal government’s disruption of their local “warm collectivism.” The Justice Department was created by Republican administrations to thwart the Southern efforts to locally repeal the civil rights of black citizens. One of the most incredible accomplishments in the annals of global propaganda is the idea that Republicans in the United States are opposed to civil rights for individuals and the Democrats are for them.

Portland, Oregon, which remains a hotbed of democrat insurrection, was founded as a white supremacist city. The current assaults of federal enforcement agents such as ICE and the Border Patrol are primarily limited to cities

I have given up on trying to debate with leftists. I have found that I don’t like to be around crazy people.

You can tell them this. They will somewhat agree, but then state, as if it were a fact, that the parties flipped positions. They are absolutely convinced of that. It is mind boggling.

I have heard the party flipping argument many times. I have yet to discover what year they think the flip occurred.

Crazy, yes, but sharply focused on the mind-set of Democrat/Communists who want to tear apart the fabric of Republican opposition. The 'Crazies' want one party rule of Fabian Socialism.

The Fabian Society is a British socialist organization whose purpose is to advance the principles of social democracy and democratic socialism via gradualism and reformist effort in democracies, rather than by revolutionary overthrow.

However, today, the desire for revolution and acceleration of goals has been impatiently superseded from the previous mission statement.
