Just a few examples:
Words: They reject angry old white men, and they teach us to embrace women and "persons of color" for leadership roles.
Actions: They support not one but two angry old white men for POTUS.
Words: They complain about costs & high taxes.
Actions: They support all things increasing inflation and taxes.
Words: They're on the side of science & education.
Actions: Sometimes men are women, and a fetus isn't human until the umbilical cord is cut, and by-golly we're going to reverse the global warming trend.
Words: Conservatives are racist.
Actions: Market racism and project.
Words: Complain about healthcare and healthcare costs.
Actions: "Free" healthcare for everyone, including illegals.
Words: They support the Constitution.
Actions: Eliminate the EC. Choke conservatives off from speaking, and ruin those who fail to adhere to PROG-speak.
Words: They support justice.
Actions: Hinder criminal deterrents and exploit the victims.
Words: They support women's and children's rights
Actions: Support PROG-elite who prove to be sex predators.
Words: They teach us about tolerance.
Actions: Who's less tolerant than a PROG, Kim Jong -un?
Words: They support diversity.
Actions: Market division and identity.
YOU FORGOT:
Words: We support Diversity!
Actions: They actually, punish, censure and condemn anyone who thinks, speaks or acts different than they do.
Words: We support Reparations for Slavery!
Actions: They were the ones who actually owned slaves and still try to rule their bodies and minds with propaganda, victim politics and government programs.
But don't drive yourself crazy trying to define or worry about it: Progressivism is a Mental Disorder.
When you say âThey were the ones who actually owned slavesâ do you think your making an honest argument? Do I need to school you and explain how retarded that statement is or would you like to admit you were just fanning the flames with hyperbolic bullshit?
Yes, Democrats DID start the Ku Klux Klan (and it's still the party of racism) | Zero Hedge | Zero Hedge
The Democrats were the Party of the Ku Klux Klan and Slavery - Fact or Myth?
The Secret Racist History of the Democratic Party
Yeah, do please edumacate me on the "facts."
This post ^^ is utter bullshit. I've schooled everybody around here on this and I'll do it again, and the names, dates and places are still not going to change.
The Klan was founded (the first time) Christmas 1865 in a building at 205 West Madison Street in Pulaski Tennessee by six twentysomething ex-soldiers who were bored in a small town during the holiday. Their names were, in alpha order, (Maj) James R. Crowe, Calvin Jones, (Capt) John Booker Kennedy, (Capt) John Lester, (Maj) Frank O. McCord and Richard R. Reed. *NONE* of them had any known political affiliation; NONE of their purpose in forming a social club modeled on the college fraternity
Kuklos Adelphon (hence the name) had anything to do with either politics OR race, and in 1865 Tennessee, political parties didn't even EXIST.
After being infiltrated by local "night riders" --- a practice that had gone on in slave territories since at least the 18th century --- that Klan fizzled by 1872 (officially it was disbanded January 1869) It would have stayed on the dustbin of history along with more than two dozen similar vigilante groups (Knights of the White Camellia, White League, etc) had it not been incorporated into a Lost Cause novel in 1905 called "The Clansman" which was ten years later made into a movie called "Birth of a Nation", as a result of which one William J. "Colonel Joe" Simmons, a defrocked minister, salesman and con artist, charged up Stone Mountain Georgia on Thanksgiving 1915 and rekindled the Klan (and burned the first cross, taken directly from the film), which he called the "
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan", making the Klan of the film into a real thing that people could join, with membership fees of course going into his pocket.
SImmons too had no known political affiliation and pointedly described it as nonpolitical.. This is the Klan that burned crosses, spread coast to coast and persecuted not just blacks but Jews, Catholics, drunks, immigrants, labor unions and "people who didn't go to church".
And just for the record that Klan officially ceased to exist on April 23, 1944.
PROVE ANY OF THAT WRONG.
Further, none of the above has anything to do with the Progressive Era, which didn't even dawn until the 1890s, decades after the original Klan was dead, so it's not even related to the topic.
Don't trot bullshit in here -- it *WILL* be shot down wid a quickness.
And I took the liberty, even though it wasn't necessary, of perusing some of your blog links. The second one, the mythology one ironically named "Fact or Myth", tried to get away with this gem:
Not only was there no such thing as "the anti-Federalists", he's got the Democratic party taking positions decades before it even EXISTED. Martin van Buren organized the party around the supporters who had voted Andrew Jackson into office,
in the 1830s. The first Democratic convention was held in
1832. So this sorry-ass blogger you had to rely on for bullshit can't even read simple history books.
**** outta here.
