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.

This will doubtless encourage "White flight" from the Democratic Party. Where there is no sense, no integrity, no courage; there is no future.

Remember that the Biblical Patriarchs were slaveowners. If the Connecticut Dems want to be consistent, they will erase the last vestiges of Western culture.

You are right. You cannot fix stupid.

White masochists like O’Malley -- men who enjoy groveling before black thugs belong in the Democrat party.

O'Malley: "“Oh please forgive me - ALL lives don't matter - white lives don't matter - only black lives matter... please please forgive me for being so stupid...”"

White elites belong in the Democrat party ... they're propped up by the black underclass.

Every other white person in the Democrat party is a fool...

Now more than ever there was no good reason for the leftist, neo-communist Demonrats to claim the limited-government Jefferson.

How about Marx-Engels Day fund raising dinners that reflect the political reality of the modern Donkey Party.

They did remove any mention of God from their platform... denied Him three times.
