At the end of the Civil War, but before the pernicious reach of Jim Crow undermined the Union Armys battlefield victory, former slaves and free blacks found themselves in possession of a most precious right -- the right to vote.
It didnt matter if a man had been a war hero in the famed, all-black 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment or a house servant on a Southern plantation. All that mattered was that he was a man.
To say that this development didnt sit well with the progressive-minded women of this country is an understatement. Before the war, the abolitionist movement and the suffragist movement had been fused at the hip -- or so women believed. They werent allied causes so much as they were the same cause, demanded in the same lecture halls by the same people in the same speeches.
After four years of burying their husbands, fathers, and sons -- the Union men whod donned their countrys blue uniforms and sang John Browns Hymn as they marched to the killing fields -- American women thought they had earned some consideration. They thought they had earned the right to be heard, the right to vote, and the right to hold political office.
When this assumption was proven wrong -- when Frederick Douglass, of all people -- figuratively patted them on their heads and said in essence, Not now, little lady, not yet. Your time will come, they couldnt have felt more disillusioned.
Betrayal by the men who had made The Battle Hymn of the Republic the unofficial national song -- its lyrics written by a woman -- had lasting repercussions in the nations collective female consciousness. One of them was the idea that war is rarely the answer....

Really? I think you’ve been hanging around the wrong women.

Well done. Now I’m hungry for the original that launched your nice piece.
Yeah.....RIGHT!
We need to rid ourselves of the elitist ba$tards in both parties who think they are entitled to run our country into the ground.
Who in F-ck would want this old hag, dishonest , lying lesbian for president?
This is exactly the “Right Stuff” and the elites of both the Dem and Rino parties live in constant fear of them.
Please Sarah and Ted .....RUN.......!!!
BEWARE THE CASTROS US Cong Joaquin Castro, his identical twin brother, Mayor Julian Castro, and their mother---Maria Rosie Castro--a hardline La Raza activist.
Castro warned last year that if Speaker Boehner adhered to his promise to invoke the so-called Hastert rule, the House will not pass comprehensive immigration reform last year.
So I guess deferring amnesty will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's violent, separatist plans for America, thank God. God only knows how much govt money and Congressional tax money is going into furthering mamasita's La Raza activities.
Castro---2012 Democrat convention keynoter---genially introduced the mother, Maria Rosie Castro to the convention-goers. Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist....a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded La Raza."
(Castro is mentioned as a possible 2016 Dem VP candidate---and has been photed w/ Hillary.)
====================================================
AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING MAMASITA CASTRO'S HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.
LA RAZA schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.
In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.
LA RAZA TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook Occupied America, by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him, (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: .......execute all white males over age 16, (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).
===============================================
La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.
La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industrys version of dont ask, dont tell.
In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded community-development projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."
