You are barking up a wrong tree here. They never understand what you are saying. Most think Lincoln was a Democrat!

Inner cities are generally by dems in this country. The effect is apparent.

The Socialists now want everyone to be their slaves. Socialists=Democrats for those who did not graduate from high school.

The Republicans also made the Civil Rights and Voting Acts happen. Sen. Dirkson from Illinois worked with LBJ and got the GOP to support the bills. Gore’s Dad voted against both acts.

Resentment and hatred have been sufficient fuel in the past. A black voting dem is shooting themselves in the foot in reality. The effects are apparent.

Party of Chains - The greatest oppressors of blacks have been Democrats, says Bruce Bartlett.

Big surprise. Historically, the members of which party owned more slaves?

And appearently most everyone is more than willing to be their slaves also. Just as long as they keep the “freebees” such as “free” health care coming.

The one thing that Democrats and Islamsists have in common is rewriting history...and are professionals at propaganda.

I guess that is 2 things.

Plus a lot of other stuff.

The Title:

Says it all.

Not really "news" to conservatives though.

No matter which party is in power the Country continues its drift toward the socialist left. In the near future we may be facing the “EU” of the Americas.

This book is well-timed. If the Dem Party machine attempts to take the election away from Obama, the blacks will likely not turn out in any real numbers.

If you study communication and persuasive thought, the first step with an antaganistic audience is to lower defenses and gain neutralization. Well, if the Dems screw the pooch at the DNC (the Clintons will do ANYTHING) the time may be ripe for lowering defenses and gaining neutralization with SOME blacks...small numbers at first, but a step possibly.

I’ve been beating this drum for years but nobody is hearing. I grew up in the Segregated South which was controlled by 95% Democrats.

Yes, however, Barry Goldwater was at the top of the ticket that year and voted against the Civil Rights and Voting Acts.

http://usconservatives.about.com/od/thinkersanddoers/a/Goldwater.htm

Goldwater supported desegregation and civil rights to varying degrees. He got himself into political hot water, however, with his opposition to legislation that would eventually turn into the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Goldwater was a passionate Constitutionalist, who had supported the NAACP and had backed previous versions of civil rights legislation, but he opposed the 1964 bill because he believed it violated states’ rights to self-govern. His opposition earned him political support from conservative southern Democrats, but he was detested as a “racist” by many blacks and minorities.

An attitude that is more evidence that the party of slavery, secession, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, firehoses on protesters and opposition to the Civil Rights Act is also the party of morons.

The idea that the party founded as the abolition party is the party of racists is more than absurd, it is sad; sad that blacks in this country have forgotten who it was who has attempted since before the Civil War to work on their behalf.

Democrats ARE the best liars. It’s something they can at least claim they are best at.
