For 8 years the right has been called racist.

[NYcarbineer]

If 'all men are created equal', and governments are formed to secure such rights as equality,

how does it get to be unconstitutional for the government of the United States to take as part of its prerogatives to secure the equal rights of minorities?

We have no disagreement that governments cannot treat citizens differently because of any irrelevant differences based on race, belief, sexual orientation or gender.

We do have a disagreement on whether the fed govt should have had the power to prevent any person of any race deciding that he/she didn't want to contract with another person because of their race ... or belief, sexual orientation or gender. That is a black person, or even a gay person, had the right to be boorish, just as a white person did. Accepting that the Founders did not intend to make it illegal for people to be boorish or prejudiced in their own private dealings does not make one racist. Rather, it means that one believes the Founders believed that when ideas were freely debated and left open to being tested, the majority would reach the right decision. And Wal-Mart and Kentucky Fried would do away with segregated businesses.

government has every right to make sure that we don't live with jim crow laws.

Hah. Do you know what you are talking about? What it means is we need to get rid of Al Gore Jr, Bill Clinton and his beotch as well as the rest of the KKK in the Democrat Party. Get rid of the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center that is all white. Talk about revisionist history on the part of the Dems here!

"In 1832, the phrase “Jim Crow” was born. By 1900, every former Confederate state (including Wyoming, Missouri, Ohio, Utah, Kentucky, Kansas and Oklahoma) had enacted “Jim Crow” laws prohibiting everything from interracial marriage to racially integrated public school systems. These state laws served to place blacks back on a virtual plantation. Similar to the “Black Codes” that came before them, Jim Crow laws were numerous. However, one denominator codified their sound support in Southern states: They all resulted from Democratic legislators of the “Solid South.”

When Bill Clinton was 18, his future vice president’s father, Sen. Al Gore Sr., was locked arm-in-arm with other segregationist Democrats to kill the Civil Rights act of 1964. Clinton’s “mentor” and “friend,” klansman J. William Fulbright, joined the Dixiecrats, an ultra-segregationist wing of Democratic lawmakers, in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and in killing the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Clinton, now 64, in his dotage, probably forgot (or was too embarrassed) to mention to the far-Left crowd of youngsters that his party is the party of segregation. Or as Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr. (D.-Ill.) explained in an interview with Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan in her book Bamboozled:

“There is no doubt that the Democratic Party is the party of the Confederacy, historically, that the Democratic Party’s flag is the Confederate flag. It was our party’s flag. That Jefferson Davis was a Democrat, that Stonewall Jackson strongly identified with the Democratic Party, that secessionists in the South saw themselves as Democrats and were Democrats. That so much of the Democratic Party’s history, since it is our nation’s oldest political party, has its roots in slavery.”

How did the same Jim Crow Democrats who fought tooth-and-nail with segregationists to keep blacks on a virtual plantation become the party that now wins 95% of the black vote? Republicans passed Civil Rights laws, Democrats wrote revisionist history.

Nevertheless, deception—what all warfare is based on, according to ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, won’t work with independents. Obama’s reelection strategy of slander and defaming all conservatives and Republicans as racists won’t win him that all-important center.

With a “recovery” missing 8.5 million jobs, unemployment going in the wrong direction and no perceived end to our economic misery in sight, Obama obviously doesn’t see winning a second term without getting down in the gutter to inspire his bulwark leftists.

This latest attempt to stir up Obama’s base by former President Clinton is just the beginning. Digging up the ghost of Jim Crow Past may have worked before, but the political landscape has changed. And Americans are seemingly ready to vote their wallets in 2012.

This contest will be a battle between the Democrat Party of higher taxes, more spending and backbiting, and the Republican Party of lower taxes, job creation and solving America’s problems."

Democrats Should Know Jim Crow, They Created Him | Human Events

Interesting observation from 50 years ago

But it is TODAYS Republicans fighting for the display of the Confederate Flag
TODAYS Republicans opposing affirmative action and voting rights
TODAYS Republicans fighting for States Rights

1) I thought liberals held that flags aren't important.

2) Who is opposed to voting rights? Not part of any GOP platform I've ever seen. The only party that has actually worked against voting rights is the democrat party.

3) Is it your contention that states have no rights? Have you read the Constitution?

Where in the Democratic platform are the anti-voting rights planks?

 

[Wry Catcher]

Insane ^^^

There is nothing liberal or violent about me or anyone reading the threads you post and concluding that you are way out of touch with reality. You make stuff up in your head and convince yourself that it is true, or lie.

The crazy right wing has shown to be (on this forum and at Trump rallies) biddable, sexist, racist, homophobic and misogynist.

The Right Wing supports Plutocrats and fears democracy, aka, WE The People.

Remember the Big Tent once claimed by the GOP? They dropped that fiction with the nomination of Trump. Bush claimed to be a "uniter", Trump is all about dividing the country in his quest for power.

The NYT printed the 281 people, places and things Trump has insulted on Twitter:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html

Keep in mind the Bible and President Lincoln's speech on a house divided. And many of Trump's loyalists seek to end the founders Great Experiment, a nation of the people, by the people and for the people.

ZOMG HE INSULTED PEOPLE ON TWITTER!!!!

On Twitter alone, now let's add the billion or so Muslims, millions of Mexicans, countless women, liberals, judges and justices, journalists, in fact the media in general. Each group and individual a member of each group insulted in his stump speech, off the cuff comments and let's not forget all the women he groped.

Well those people all need to "nut up".

Hillary insults 2nd amendment supporters daily when she claims she supports it herself.

The claim that the 2nd protects all Arms from infringement is a canard! I support the right of every sane, sober and non law violator the right to own or possess a firearm to protect their business, home/property, family and person. That does not mean I support a ban on all forms of Arms/gun controls, or that I support the confiscation of all guns.

I support comprehensive background checks, the licensing of anyone who wants to own, possess or have in his or her custody and control a gun, and that all guns be registered to the owner/possessor of the firearm, that the owner be required to carry insurance for any tort, the product of the misuse of said gun, unless the weapon has previously been stolen and reported stolen to the local LE agency.

I support the suspension or revocation of a license to own, possess or have in one's custody and control for due cause, and that anyone convicted of a violent crime, stalking, domestic violence or making criminal threats be denied a license unless an appeal is made and the offender has been pardoned by the governor or received a certificate of rehabilitation.

Background checks where those who fail face no consequences are useless.

And what in your mind does licensing guns accomplish?

Lots. I've explained why too many times to repeat myself. If one drives without a license they are charged with an infraction; if one drives on a suspended or revoked license they are put in a cage (in CA, 14601 CVC) for up to six months, fined up to $1,000 and placed on formal probation for up to three years.

Why of course not

And if a cop pulls them over (which they always do) the criminal will face jail time for having an unlicensed weapon.

History shows N-word created by Democrats. The racists are in their party.

1885 illustration from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, captioned "Misto Bradish's n*gger"

"There is a direct and strong link between the word ****** and anti-black caricatures. Although ****** has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry.2 it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word ******. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word ******. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving "friends" of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These latter traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word ******. The word ****** was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures."

JCM: ****** and Caricature

Do you know what year it is?

It's an election year. And the racists are still in the Democratic Party. Was that so hard?

no little boy... the racists have left the democratic party to join the GOP.

are you intentionally lying or are you just a moron?

>>no little boy... the racists have left the democratic party to join the GOP.<<

Who are you calling a boy, little girl, and ignorant racist? All you have to know is James Earl Ray was a Democrat and supported segregationist Governor George Wallace who was also a Democrat. Go crawl back under your racist rock little one.

It is "one can believe that the prohibitions on racial discrimination in private contracts should not have been constitutional, and one can still not be a racist."

It does not mean the gop can be absolved of the racist attacks against the potus that the gop chose not to condemn for the past 8 years.

At least, you admit you lost 1964. Ha ha. Revisionist history again. It's not the GOP who wants to display the Confederate Flag but white Southerners who are Democrat. His name was Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, well-known Democrat -- senator from South Carolina -- is responsible for the Confederate flag flying over South Carolina.

The rest has nothing to do with racism.

 

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

The democrat party is the party of racism...they are obsessed with it and use it as a tool to acquire power......

Yeah George Wallace and his white supremacists used to say it was everyone else who was racist too.

Now go cheer for more unarmed black men Ronnie murderers by police.

And tell us you aren't a bigot so we can laugh at you.

The term racism is a watered down interpretation and excuse used by liberals when a candidate or party does not agree with the liberal's ideological view and interpretation for the role of government. When a conservative speaks out who happens to be African American, this whole discussion of "it's the GOP that's the party of racists" roaring it's ugly head becomes so laughable that I simply can't take anything the liberals have to say on the subject seriously. How you act accordingly to THOSE African Americans, who only happens to share a different political perspective, speaks a lot towards your views and interpretation of racism.

What's particularly pathetic about the race whores like Jillian is there is actual racism in the world and their endless quest to label anyone who disagrees with them a racist just overwhelmingly dulls the use of the word to background noise and actually protects actual racists

Well if you believe in the respect of our federal immigration laws through enforcement, you are considered a racist.

When you present them with the real world "reality" of the kind of people that are behind these terrorists attacks. As well as present them with where their strongholds and training camps reside, with the common sense approach as to why you simply don't open your doors to refugees in regions where the threat terrorists thrives, you are called a racist.

It's just the kind of games that liberals play, when you just don't agree with their views on the issues and they simply can't get their way.

we have been deporting people. the numbers of people coming in has been flat for ages.

the games are yours. if you don't like the labels you get, stop nominating people who call mexicans rapists, a latina beauty queen "miss housekeeping" (which doesn't even begin to touch on the disgusting things your orange loser says about women) and stop cheering every time black kids get killed.

now go pretend that you don't vote for bigoted policies. in normal society, a man who re-tweets white supremacists wouldn't even be considered acceptable to have lunch with, much less represent this country to the world.

the bigger joke is that your ilk doesn't care if your electoral system is hacked by putin. how much must you hate your country.

If liberals were serious about deporting those who break Federal law, and those illegals coming here had been flat for ages, there would be no real need for Democrats to discuss pushing a fast track for citizenship.

Again terms like "bigoted policies" are just an excuse liberals give when they don't agree with a view that stands contrary to theirs while they are unable to debate the issue with facts. Rather than respond and address those specific political policies previously mentioned, you simply dig deeper into more of the same "intelligent discussion" (to use the term lightly). You see, our nation can invest in heightened airport security, but the discussion of securing a border through stricter enforcement of our current immigration laws you find bigoted. Liberals also appear to be so concerned with a general conception that those on a no fly list gaining access to guns, yet an influx of refugees coming from a known thriving unstable terrorist region is somehow less of a threat to really concern ourselves over. Not that long ago Democrats had some much to say about our government's involvement in placing our resources investing overseas in "nation building" with some rather unstable regions, except when it comes to placing our efforts to bring those from unstable regions over here. They applaud President Obama's efforts to release terrorists out of Gitmo to regions that are beyond our control, yet the thought of concerning ourselves with securing our borders from some of the most active terrorist involved nations is racist. Its how they basically respond to those who attack their ideological views.

When Bill Clinton was 18, his future vice president’s father, Sen. Al Gore Sr., was locked arm-in-arm with other segregationist Democrats to kill the Civil Rights act of 1964. Clinton’s “mentor” and “friend,” klansman J. William Fulbright, joined the Dixiecrats, an ultra-segregationist wing of Democratic lawmakers, in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and in killing the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Clinton, now 64, in his dotage, probably forgot (or was too embarrassed) to mention to the far-Left crowd of youngsters that his party is the party of segregation. Or as Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr. (D.-Ill.) explained in an interview with Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan in her book Bamboozled:

“There is no doubt that the Democratic Party is the party of the Confederacy, historically, that the Democratic Party’s flag is the Confederate flag. It was our party’s flag. That Jefferson Davis was a Democrat, that Stonewall Jackson strongly identified with the Democratic Party, that secessionists in the South saw themselves as Democrats and were Democrats. That so much of the Democratic Party’s history, since it is our nation’s oldest political party, has its roots in slavery.”

How did the same Jim Crow Democrats who fought tooth-and-nail with segregationists to keep blacks on a virtual plantation become the party that now wins 95% of the black vote? Republicans passed Civil Rights laws, Democrats wrote revisionist history.

Nevertheless, deception—what all warfare is based on, according to ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, won’t work with independents. Obama’s reelection strategy of slander and defaming all conservatives and Republicans as racists won’t win him that all-important center.

With a “recovery” missing 8.5 million jobs, unemployment going in the wrong direction and no perceived end to our economic misery in sight, Obama obviously doesn’t see winning a second term without getting down in the gutter to inspire his bulwark leftists.

This latest attempt to stir up Obama’s base by former President Clinton is just the beginning. Digging up the ghost of Jim Crow Past may have worked before, but the political landscape has changed. And Americans are seemingly ready to vote their wallets in 2012.

This contest will be a battle between the Democrat Party of higher taxes, more spending and backbiting, and the Republican Party of lower taxes, job creation and solving America’s problems."

Interesting observation from 50 years ago

But it is TODAYS Republicans fighting for the display of the Confederate Flag
TODAYS Republicans opposing affirmative action and voting rights
TODAYS Republicans fighting for States Rights

At least, you admit you lost 1964. Ha ha. Revisionist history again. It's not the GOP who wants to display the Confederate Flag but white Southerners who are Democrat. His name was Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, well-known Democrat -- senator from South Carolina -- is responsible for the Confederate flag flying over South Carolina.

The rest has nothing to do with racism.

There is not a Democrat anywhere that supports flying the Confederate Flag
That is a position of TODAYs Republicans who hide their racism in a broad States Rights position

Never deal in absolutes.

House Votes to Ban Confederate Flag at National Cemeteries - Breitbart

Georgia Representative Sanford Bishop was the only Democrat to vote no on the bill.

In a roll-call vote, the House voted 265 to 159 in favor

Of that 265 in favor 84 were Republicans 181 were Democrats
Of the 159 against the ban 158 were Republicans

Republicans voted 158 to 84 to keep that flag a-fly'n

Hah. Do you know what you are talking about? What it means is we need to get rid of Al Gore Jr, Bill Clinton and his beotch as well as the rest of the KKK in the Democrat Party.

Basically, this whole complaint boils down to, "You're racist because I say you are!!!!"

And, of course, those who profit from continued racial strife will do whatever is necessary to keep it going.

 

[jillian]

We have no disagreement that governments cannot treat citizens differently because of any irrelevant differences based on race, belief, sexual orientation or gender.

We do have a disagreement on whether the fed govt should have had the power to prevent any person of any race deciding that he/she didn't want to contract with another person because of their race ... or belief, sexual orientation or gender. That is a black person, or even a gay person, had the right to be boorish, just as a white person did. Accepting that the Founders did not intend to make it illegal for people to be boorish or prejudiced in their own private dealings does not make one racist. Rather, it means that one believes the Founders believed that when ideas were freely debated and left open to being tested, the majority would reach the right decision. And Wal-Mart and Kentucky Fried would do away with segregated businesses.

government has every right to make sure that we don't live with jim crow laws.

States rights is just a cop out to show you lack the backbone to stand up for what is right

I don't believe in slavery....But I think each state should decide whether they want to own other human beings
I oppose segregation ...but think the states should decide whether blacks and whites can use the same facilities
I support same sex marriage......but I think the states should decide whether gays should have rights

Now if Hillary is elected that meme will change to sexist.
Liberals just can't fathom that people vehemently disagree with their positions. Their tunnel vision blinds them completely to the fact that their train of thought is but one narrow view of the world.

Slavery is banned by the 13th amendment, and is specific to any part of the US, thus negating the State's ability to defer.

Segregation and Jim Crow laws are banned by the 14th amendment, which forces the States to apply equal protection, overriding Plessey, which was a Federal judgement that allowed the States to ignore the 14th.

SSM is a unique question as it has no precedent at all, and is a major change to our understanding of the Contract. To me, the Constitution is silent on the issue, and thus it is up to State legislatures to figure it out. The one Federal responsibility is to make sure as before, all valid marriage licenses are respected in ANY State, and equal protection apply to a person with a marriage license, regardless of it meeting the State's own requirements.

If the constitution is not explicit in delegating a power to the feds, then its up to the States, period.

How did the same Jim Crow Democrats who fought tooth-and-nail with segregationists to keep blacks on a virtual plantation become the party that now wins 95% of the black vote? Republicans passed Civil Rights laws, Democrats wrote revisionist history.

Nevertheless, deception—what all warfare is based on, according to ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, won’t work with independents. Obama’s reelection strategy of slander and defaming all conservatives and Republicans as racists won’t win him that all-important center.

With a “recovery” missing 8.5 million jobs, unemployment going in the wrong direction and no perceived end to our economic misery in sight, Obama obviously doesn’t see winning a second term without getting down in the gutter to inspire his bulwark leftists.

This latest attempt to stir up Obama’s base by former President Clinton is just the beginning. Digging up the ghost of Jim Crow Past may have worked before, but the political landscape has changed. And Americans are seemingly ready to vote their wallets in 2012.

This contest will be a battle between the Democrat Party of higher taxes, more spending and backbiting, and the Republican Party of lower taxes, job creation and solving America’s problems."

Democrats Should Know Jim Crow, They Created Him | Human Events

Interesting observation from 50 years ago

But it is TODAYS Republicans fighting for the display of the Confederate Flag
TODAYS Republicans opposing affirmative action and voting rights
TODAYS Republicans fighting for States Rights

At least, you admit you lost 1964. Ha ha. Revisionist history again. It's not the GOP who wants to display the Confederate Flag but white Southerners who are Democrat. His name was Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, well-known Democrat -- senator from South Carolina -- is responsible for the Confederate flag flying over South Carolina.

The rest has nothing to do with racism.

There is not a Democrat anywhere that supports flying the Confederate Flag
That is a position of TODAYs Republicans who hide their racism in a broad States Rights position

the whole "states' rights" thing is a scam that they think would allow them to have jim crow laws again.

State's rights is not about ignoring the constitution, which would have to occur to re-instate Jim Crow Laws. The only way that would happen is if we get another Plessey type SC judgement that overtsteps the courts power, and ignores the 14th amendment.

State's rights is about letting the States manage things that are 1) Not Explicitly given to the Feds and 2) Explicitly protected as a right of the people by the Federal Constitution and incorporated onto the States as well.
