Hey, Sister of Satan!

Ever heard of the "Abolitionists" they became the Republican Party.

So, considering:

That the civil war was waged between the Republicans and the democRAT slavers, and that the Klan was founded by Confederate veterans to keep blacks from voting for Republicans...

That the Republicans were referred to as "N-word lovers" by democRATs...

That all the segregationists including Bull Connor, George Wallace, Fritz Hollings, Robert KKK Byrd were racist democRATs...

That you cannot name a Republican figure who fits the above description (unless you try to foist that fraudster "David Duke" on us)...

That Congressional Republicans were the reason LBJ's Civil Rights Act was able to be passed, over the objection of democRATs...

That the Klan with a Tan (the racist NAACP) is nothing more than an ultra-partisan group who's purpose is to deliver the "black vote" to democRATs...

And that you Ms Mayor are performing exactly that function by outright lying about and demonizing Republicans...

Is it any wonder that Republicans are "perceived" to be racist?

At least she acknowledges that Republicans are trying to include minorities. What does this mean exactly?

It means she views Republicans as recalcitrant children with respect to racism: like little Johnny who tries so hard to keep his hands of firecrackers but just can't help himself.

And liberal women are... bimbos.

Bimbo: noun; a colloquial Italian expression meaning "baby" and implying "cute or sweet little baby."

In English: a bimbo is a female who is a babe, but stupid, as in "dumb blonde"; or attractive but sexually loose.

Liberal women may meet the stupid or loose half the definition, but not the attractive part.

There is another sinister angle to this story. The mayor was speaking at a college, which means she was probably trying to brainwash young people with her comment.

Well, I don't know if they can accurately be referred as "bimbos"...but they without a doubt are certifiable barking moonbats.

If you have a valid point, is throwing the race card really a smart opening move?

Not smart, but it reveals the thought process of a "liberal."

That is why I advise that there is no hope for them, they can not be educated away from that thought process. It is a total waste of time and effort to attempt it.

Suppression is the only successful way to deal with them.

Which American city over 250,000 population has the smallest income gap between White and Black?

Republican-run Colorado Springs, at 9%.

I’m actually a Pacific Lutheran University alumnus and I can see 15 years after graduating from that liberal haven that they’re continuing their rich tradition of paying left-wingers to visit the campus and make radical speeches to small audiences.

You may recall P.L.U. gained some national notoriety back in the mid-’90s when Rush Limbaugh on his TV and radio program blasted the kooky ultra feminist professor Erin McKenna who actually gave a campus presentation claiming that the eating of meat leads to male domination and enslavement of women in our society.

By the way, no offense to any Freepers who may live there, but I found Tacoma to be an ugly city and a depressing place to live. It’s no surprise to see they’ve elected a mayor who reflects the sad state of that area.

The Democrats are the party of Jim Crow

The Democrats gave birth to the KKK which original purpose was to suppress the black vote (who voted 100% Republican) by intimidation, murder, and terrorism.

The Democrats voted against all anti-lynching laws proposed by Republicans.

The Civil Rights movement did not start in the 1960s it stared 100 years earlier, and it was the Democrats that harshly opposed giving former slaves Civil Rights, and kept that fight up for over 100 years.

It was the Democrats that began poll taxes, literacy test, grandfather clauses, hide-and-seek polling places, and several other ways to keep the Blacks from voting (because blacks voted 100% Republican).

It was the Democrats who would lynch Blacks & Whites trying to advance Civil Rights and Voting rights for former slaves.
It was a Democrat who shot the Great Emancipator Abraham Lincoln.

And it was Democrats that did not elect their first Black to Congress until 1935 while Republicans have been doing it for 67 years.

The First Blacks In Congress Were All Republicans

United States Senate
Hiram Rhodes Revels (1822-1901); Republican – Mississippi; 1870-1871
Blanche Bruce (1841-1898); Republican – Mississippi; 1875-1881

House of Representatives
John Willis Menard (1838-1893); Republican - Louisiana; 1868
Joseph Rainey (1832-1887); Republican - South Carolina; 1870-1879
Jefferson F. Long (1836-1901); Republican – Georgia; 1870-1871
Robert C. De Large (1842-1874); Republican - South Carolina; 1871-1873
Robert B. Elliott (1842-1884); Republican - South Carolina; 1871-1874
Benjamin S. Turner (1825-1894); Republican – Alabama; 1871-1873
Josiah T. Walls (1842-1905); Republican – Florida; 1871-1873, 1873-1875, 1875-1876
Richard H. Cain (1825-1887); Republican - South Carolina; 1873-1875, 1877-1879
John R. Lynch (1847-1939); Republican – Mississippi; 1873-1877, 1882-1883
James T. Rapier (1837-1883); Republican – Alabama; 1873-1875
Alonzo J. Ransier (1834-1882); Republican - South Carolina; 1873-1875
Jeremiah Haralson (1846-1916); Republican - Alabama; 1875-1877
John Adams Hyman (1840-1891); Republican - North Carolina; 1875-1877
Charles E. Nash (1844-1913); Republican – Louisiana; 1875-1877
Robert Smalls (1839-1915); Republican - South Carolina; 1875-1879, 1882-1883, 1884-1887
James E. O’Hara (1844-1905); Republican - North Carolina; 1883-1887
Henry P. Cheatham (1857-1935); Republican - North Carolina; 1889-1893
John Mercer Langston (1829-1897); Republican – Virginia; 1890-1891
Thomas E. Miller(1849-193); Republican - South Carolina; 1890-1891
George W. Murray (1853-1926); Republican - South Carolina; 1893-1895, 1896-1897
George Henry White (1852-1918); Republican - North Carolina; 1897-1901

The Democrats did not elect their first black American to the U.S. House until 1935, and he was from the North. The Southern Democrats waited until 1973. The first Black Senator was not elected until 1993.

I grew up in Tacoma, and to be fair there are some very beautiful areas in Tacoma's North End with beautiful Victorian homes with views that rival many other places on the Sound. But the city has changed very little since I was born there 53 years ago. Tacoma has always been an awful place to find employment, which is why I don't live their today.
Now for the ugly side of Tacoma, pretty much everything south of 6th Ave, all the way down to Joint Base Lewis McChord. There is a reason COPS TV show chooses that area frequently.

There are moderate, reasonable, respectable, fair-minded Democrats who vote and have been duped into supporting the progressives that call themselves Democrats and control the party. At least half of those “lied to” Democrats have the same beliefs and opinions as those to the right of center and have never been backed into a corner where they have to think about it. Obama has been backing people into a corner and that terrifies the progressive elite that infest both parties, the media, institutions of higher learning and Hollywood.

If we want to survive as a nation as a republic we must flush the progressives from both parties, from all government offices, from the media, from positions of instruction, both public schools and universities. The progressive political philosophy must be rendered ineffectual, laughable, an object of ridicule. The progressive must be excoriated and driven out of any position of authority. any adherent of such an absurd idea should never be paid more than minimum wage.

Yep! The “COPS” TV show has aired many segments from the Parkland area where P.L.U. is located. Many of the scenes have taken place within a mile of the campus. No doubt this has probably skewed my perception of Tacoma in general.

Tacoma lost Russell Investments about five years ago. The only reason why race wasn’t mentioned in leaving Tacoma was that Russell’s founder is black.

They got the WAMU building for the price of a hot dog and moved to Seattle.

Apropos. Just this morning, while picking up lunch at a Mexican joint, I heard a kid say: “I want a taco, ma!”

“If a Republican said that Democrats were racist, he would be booed off the stage. If a Democrat says Republicans are racist, she is not confronted until days later.
THAT my friends is the difference.”

The difference is that they OWN the media who will do anything to advance the RAT/leftist agenda. An unfair and biased press distorts the election process and is what’s being used to destroy the country.

It's all about redistribution. They want money from people they detest, and are willing to defame.

There's no point in trying to deal with them and continuously kissing their a$$. We should only be talking to the unaligned and apolitical. The proffesional looter class have to be talked around, IMO.
