Did you know
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican? Every civil rights law, beginning in the 1860s through the 1950s and 1960s, was fought against by Democrats? Or the KKK had links to the Democratic Party? Not only are these questions addressed by the National Black Republicans Association (NBRA), but also more surprising facts.

LEFT-WING RACISM?
I just bugged out of LGF because they have a DAILY KOS graphic up, as a response to Barry’s whining from this morning that the TN GOP are “low class”. Take a look, but I warn you that it will turn your stomach. This is who these people are...this artwork proves every single word in the above article.

I was wonderin.....where does “the National White Republicans Association” stand on this issue. This crap really gets old.
Well, this is all very interesting. They say Jackie Robinson was a Republican as well.
But the Democrats and black Americans made a deal in 1965 called “The Great Society.” That, apparently, superseded anything else offered by the GOP.
Is it worth it to try and get only 13% of the population to move back to the GOP column? Is it possible?
She and her associates really have their work cut out for them. The poison of liberation theology has been percolating through the black community for so many years that a lot of people were probably not being disingenuous when they asked what was so wrong about Write's ...sentiments.
Liberation theology also has two surefire defensive mechanisms: when white people point out racism in the Democrat party, they're racists. When black people do it, they're uncle Tom-ed.
But god bless her and the NBRA for keeping up the fight. You can never win if you don't fight.
Most Dems refuse to pinpoint the most important SINGLE cause of the cultural degradation in much of the black community. That cause is the destruction of the 2 parent black family. The precipitate cause of this tragedy was the welfare state created by LBJ and (mostly) the DemocRAT Party. But since Barack He who must not be middle named Obama wants to extend and expand the welfare state to all of America, he is careful to avoid drawing the correct conclusions. Oh he gives lip service to the notion of personal responsibility, but is extremely careful to avoid any implication of the DemocRAT Party.
When you point out that the Democratic Partys entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.
The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are for us. They usually go on to an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixons Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwaters principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territorys. The Democratic Party opposed 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the United States Constitution, reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnsons welfare state. When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesnt seem to register either.
The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just dont know what can be done about it. I am constantly engaged in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
Good post, Frank!
It is frustrating when you witness people willingly voting against their best interests.
I wish that President Bush spent money like a sailor on leave, and thought that would attract new voters to the GOP.
One cannot out liberal a liberal.
Pity. Just a pity.
Obama isn’t promising change. He’s promising more of the same dreadful policies that have failed all of us - especially poor folk and black folk.
s/b I wish President Bush HAD NOT spent money
