I’m sometimes asked, as a Civil War buff, to explain my attraction to the period. I usually reply with a line I heard years ago, “That’s the last time it was legal to shoot democrats. “
No offence meant to the moonlight and magnolia brigade here at FR, but there’s something to the sentiment.
I get tired of having to remind people that George Wallace was a democrat, Lester Maddox was a democrat, Bull Conner was a democrat, Bull Conner’s dogs were democrats, and every Ku Kluxer who ever soiled a sheet was a democrat.
But this WH aide is “too smart” to have bothered to learn any history.
Honestly, it's hard for me to think there are people either this stupid or this devious out there. Obviously there are, but it is truly amazing they can get away with this kind of talk.
That’s OK, with the way Democrats are today, there would still be witch burnings. After all, the State is Always Right.
What a curious statement! Does Chuck Todd know that Lincoln was a Republican? Does he know that the Republicans freed the slaves? Is Chuck Todd educated?
Puleeease Todd. You’re embarrassing yourself. The democrats WERE the slave owners.
He might have a point.
Old GOP: Democrats threaten to leave if a Republican is elected. Republican is elected anyway. Southern Democratic states leave. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides are killed in a war to bring them back into the Union without slavery.
New GOP: Democrats talk sternly and the GOP buckles like a cheap umbrella in a heavy wind. Democrats get their way.
Transport the current batch back to 1860 and you'd get them shedding tears rather than fighting.
Democrats have figured out how to take people who were liberated from the old plantations, and coax them onto the new plantation. It’s sad to watch people who had what it took to overcome the legacy of slavery create a worse legacy of welfareism. Their liberty has been given up cheaply.

Freedom IS slavery. Orwell was a prophet.
I long for the day when justice will be served to those like Todd who intentionally bear false witness against his neighbors. Chuck Todd, and the corrupt MSM are full of themselves and believe there are no consequences to falsely besmirching and accusing others.
How I long for justice. One day, justice will roll like a river.
IF it was said— it was Valerie. But it sounds like fake news.
I hate to say it but the WH Aide is right, though maybe not as he intended. Given how absolutely neutered and ineffective the current GOP has been the Democrats would have held on to slavery for decades...
With today’s democrat party, slavery was re-instituted. The Federal gov’t now owns all of our physical bodies and they are screaming that our labor is theirs and they will “let” us keep the fruits of that labor if they deem that we do not need it.
We are truly in bizarro world.
If this isn’t just blatant LYING PROPAGANDA masquerading as objective journalism, ....
It’s like they don’t want to remember democrats were the founders of the KKK. That the KKK was established to terrorize blacks and white Republicans in the south.
That without Republicans giving Johnson the majority of the votes for the civil rights act, because the democrats wanted segregation and jim crow laws to continue, it wouldn’t have passed.
They ignore it wasn’t republicans that passed segregation and jim crow laws, and poll taxes on blacks.
It wasn’t Republicans that passed laws that blacks couldn’t own firearms for self defense, especially against the KKK.
Wasn’t Republicans that ran on separate but equal platforms as foundations of their party platforms.
Wasn’t Republicans that burned crosses on lawns of blacks.
Wasn’t Republicans blocking doors and keeping blacks out of “white” schools.
Wasn’t Republicans using government force to unleash the never-do-anything-wrong police with guns, clubs, mace, fire hoses, armored vehicles, and arrest powers, on black and white civil rights protestors.
Because Republicans don’t want Uncle Sam to Be Uncle Sugar Daddy, we’re the scapegoat for racism against blacks?
How convenient for the democrats. Seriously. Problem is you can’t wipe out what really happened because too many people know the truth.
Chuck Todd is an antiwhite racist bastard.
