Here 'tis!
Bump!
Makes me long for the Democratic Party of old...
Wow...this is something. I agree with the points about welfare dependency and the soft bigotry of low expectations. But I think the historical argument is a little off -- the reason fewer Democrats than Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act is that the Democrats used to be based in the South. The constituency (or at least region) responsible for most of the atrocities mentioned now vote Republican. Likewise, the constituencies (or regions) that once fought for the abolition of slavery are now voting Democrat.
Now don't get me wrong; I vote Republican, straight down the ticket. But that doesn't mean I respect the racist wing of the party. And come on, let's not kid ourselves: the national Republicans capitalize on that wing. The letter mentions how the KKK was a wing of the Democratic Party, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a KKK member today who would vote Democrat. So in this debate, I think we should stick to the issues -- welfare is harmful, affirmative action breeds resentment -- rather than this imagined line of descent from racist southern Democrats to modern northeastern Democrats.
For a couple of weeks now, the local dems, supported by the ACLU, MoveOn.org, and, of course, the local NYT subsidiary, have been actively seeking to get her lynched because she's had the audicity to leave the democrat plantation, and worse, speak up about it.
Seems the political left is all for free speech, until you say something they don't like. Then they want you hung. What a surprise.
Off the plantation PING!
Does this mean they are voting for Nader?

' Took only two "Wheras'es" to get around to reparations, I see...
I posted the original on 6/4/04 after I received it in an email from my friend Frances Rice.
Here's that thread:

Frances will be happy to hear that her 'Open Letter' is getting wide distribution.

A Pastor read this at a Durham GOP event in Raleigh today, celebrating Freedom and the origins of the Republican Party. When he read the website, as the source- I almost fell out of my chair.
I'm all for the formal written apology but let's be honest here; the remuneration would only cause more divisiveness because the only thing the democrats know how to do is redistribute wealth.
Besides, we can all see how well remuneration has worked in the past. /s
It's time to dispense with the revisionist history of the democrat party. Tell the truth, issue the apology and fix the problems. In doing so, we expose the race-hustling industry and cast aside its poisonous by-products. We, as Americans (not hyphenated) need to work together and stop letting the political elites pit one against the other, especially now that they're attempting to triangulate the strategy.
Bump for later
