In a sweeping and stirring oration on the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) proudly recounted the Republican Partys long history of fighting for black freedom against the Democratic Partys history of racism and oppression.
Rep. Wests speech offered a timeline of Republican Party victories on behalf of African Americans long battle for equality. From the elections of the first black members of Congress (Sen. Hiram Revels (R-MS) and Rep. Joseph Rainey (R-SC)), to the adoption of the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment, 15th Amendment, 1875 Civil Rights Act, 1957 Civil Rights Act, 1964 Civil Rights Act, and of course the Emancipation itself, Rep. West recounted how each victory was the result of the Republican Partys commitment to freedom for all citizens, regardless of hue.
Rep. West also recounted the victories of GOP luminaries like President Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, President Dwight Eisenhower, and Sen. Everett Dirksen.

Are you saying no USMB leftist has ever used racial epithets towards West?It took all of three posts for Dave to play the victim / racism card. A New Record!
I did. Alan West is a buck dancing mammy singing coon a la Herman Cain.
Nice strawman.........now wanna answer the question?
It's a bullshit question. I've been all over this country and I've found more bigots in Liberal-land than anywhere else.
Actually, Gay Pinhead, it's not a bullshit question, because I've also been stationed in RI and other northern places. Guess what? Blacks are treated more equal in liberal areas than in conservative ones.
But..........way to avoid the question.
It's so easy to ignore the fact that in Lincoln's time, the Democrats were the conservative bunch, and the Republicans were the liberal bunch.
It's so easy to ignore the fact that in Lincoln's time, the Democrats were the conservative bunch, and the Republicans were the liberal bunch.
Back then 'liberal' meant what 'conservative' basically means today, and the GOp never abandoned its commitment to civil rights.

Since when are liberals for individule liberty.
If the Republicans are so gung ho about equal rights, riddle me this.........
Why is it that the reddest states (southern) are the ones that are the most bigoted?
Why is it that northern states are the whitest? Limousine liberals can't mingle with the unwashed masses?
It's not like you'd accept any rational reason anyway. You've got your closed little mind made up. No room for facts in there.And now, because you proved me right, ClosedCaption will act all superior to you for no apparent reason.I did. Alan West is a buck dancing mammy singing coon a la Herman Cain.
Oh, wait -- no, he won't. He's incapable of criticizing a fellow leftist.
On edit: You're a retard.
I don't give a shit how he acts towards. Coonie West seems to not have covered why blacks left the republican party.
This has been explained to you repeatedly. But you're more interested in bitterly clinging to your leftist programming.Today's revisionist history moment is brought to you by rderp and ClosedMind.Yes they do but they like to play pretend
"Revisionist History" is what Republicans do.
So why is the Republican Party 90% white and what happened in the 60's to make it so.
Make it good. We're waiting.
He is such a racist.
Right, USMB lefties?
It took all of three posts for Dave to play the victim / racism card. A New Record!
The Race Card Card is one of Davey's favorites.
How is it possible you consider yourself an intelligent human being?If I wanted my own come back I would've wiped it off your wifes chinSure, if you're as deluded as you are.No, what I'm saying is that it took you all of three posts to play the victim / racism card. Pretty self explanatory
Horseshit.It's so easy to ignore the fact that in Lincoln's time, the Democrats were the conservative bunch, and the Republicans were the liberal bunch.
Back then 'liberal' meant what 'conservative' basically means today
What a stupid thing to say. Are we talking about back when "day" meant what "night" means today, too? Or when "up" meant what "down" means today?
and the GOp never abandoned its commitment to civil rights.
Which explains exactly why the GOP dominated south stands in the lead on civil rights nowadays.
Forget party affiliation. That which we call a rose, by any other name, will still make you bleed. Let's get to the meat and potatoes. Civil rights has ALWAYS been a liberal issue, and the conservative position has always been to either oppose civil rights, deny there is a problem in the first place, or to insist that the problem is not so bad, or that they problem should be left to individuals to sort out.
Where did you morons hear that? "He's talking about the Republican Party before most of the Conservatives left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party and all the Liberals left the Republican Party and jointed the Democratic Party."We should nominate Mr. West to run for President.
It's refreshing to see someone finally stick up for Republicans.
Look at what he's saying:
Rep. Wests speech offered a timeline of Republican Party victories on behalf of African Americans long battle for equality. From the elections of the first black members of Congress (Sen. Hiram Revels (R-MS) and Rep. Joseph Rainey (R-SC)), to the adoption of the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment, 15th Amendment, 1875 Civil Rights Act, 1957 Civil Rights Act, 1964 Civil Rights Act, and of course the Emancipation itself, Rep.

It's exactly the same as Republicans trying to take credit for taking out Bin Laden. Even McCain said Republican's torturing was no help and was in fact, a hindrance.
Why is the Republican Party 90% white? Why do they try to take credit for things that belong to others?
Nonsense.If the Republicans are so gung ho about equal rights, riddle me this.........
Why is it that the reddest states (southern) are the ones that are the most bigoted?

Do you even know what it means? It DOESN'T mean "anything leftists don't like".He is such a racist.In a sweeping and stirring oration on the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep.

Right, USMB lefties?
Yes, he is a racist

The Republican's during the Civil War were "civil rights oriented".
In 1892, the Democrats took the presidency & Congress and repealed most of the civil rights laws.
In 1929, most blacks were Republicans.
In 1932, Republican Herbert Hoover drew 3/4 of the black vote. Democratic Franklin Roosevelt drew 1/4. Roosevelt won.
By 1936, millions of blacks starting changing parties.
In 1942, Democrat Harry Truman integrated the armed forces.

Well, so much for "Republicans are the friends to blacks" meme.
It must be really embarrassing to be a conservative and have all the stuff you THOUGHT you knew, be proven wrong on the very threads you started.
Oh horseshit.
Many in the GOP want to reduce voter fraud and take steps to make sure that people are citizens and are not voting multiple times in different precincts.
What the hell is wrong with making sure a person only votes once andis actually a citizen?
Because that might reduce Democrat voter fraud?
What they are doing has zero to do with voter fraud or any other kind of fraud and 100% to do with making it harder for some Democrats to vote
But you're not thinking.Did Allen West say anything to make anyone think he is a racists?
Yes
