Democrats drop Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson from dinner name
CT Post ^ | July 22, 2015 | Neil Vigdor

Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are history in Connecticut.

Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.

Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s fatal shooting of nine worshipers at the historic black church in Charleston, S.C.

The decision is believed to be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly-named events to follow suit.

How about calling them Margaret Sanger-Joseph Stalin dinners. They can serve aborted babies and Kulaks.

Actually, the Democrats in Connecticut are under heavy pressure from the voters. If the GOP manages to find decent candidates, they could win. The main problem is that the party is controlled by the country-club set, and the candidates are all billionaire businessmen.

I am more than happy to collect the nickels and two-dollar bills of those who find the image of Jefferson offensive.

As ISIS scrubs people of the past in Iraq and Syria, the Democrats scrub people of the past in the United States. What next? Will the Democrats start beheading Christians? They already hate everything about the Christian Church. And they are angry Christians don’t convert to Homosexuality. I mean, there really is little difference in the way ISIS is conquering and the way Democrats are conquering

“So other the than the relatively few Gulf ports, we would have no shipping ports? Did you really think the through?

Besides, what does this have to do with the point of the article? “

Major container and petroleum ports from VA to Texas plus the Mississippi and its tributaries. As for the West, everything east of the coastal-strip urban ant-piles(and New Mexico)would join the New Confederacy.

No one would miss the Northeast. No one.

If you are 40 years old or younger, plan for it.

...........**the candidates are all billionaire businessmen**..............

...and all from the Gold Coast ....who do not relate to the rest of the state. That’s why we’ll never unseat the radical left in CT.

65 years ago Democrats started taking over the wealthiest areas of the country. The Midwest and South was poor as dirt. Now look at it. Almost on par with some excelling over them.

Hell, look at what they did to Detroit and how rich it was.

The negroes and queers have taken over the country.

So what if, together, they are around than 14% of the population. They keep pushing their agendas and no one stands up to them for fear of being called names.
