The Ku Klux Klan was the Terrorist Arm of the Democrat Party

By Frances Rice

Democratic Party leaders and media surrogates falsely link the Republican Party to the Ku Klux Klan.  In reality, it was Democrats who started the Ku Klux Klan that became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party. 

In his book, A Short History of Reconstruction, Dr. Eric wrote: “Founded in 1866 as a Tennessee social club, the Ku Klux Klan spread into nearly every Southern state, launching a ‘reign of terror‘ against Republican Party leaders, black and white.  In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party, the planter class, and all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy.  Jack Dupree, a victim of a particularly brutal murder in Monroe County, Mississippi - assailants cut his throat and disemboweled him, all within sight of his wife, who had just given birth to twins - was ‘president of a republican club‘ and known as a man who ‘would speak his mind.’”

Dr. Foner is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University and one of America’s most prominent historians.  He is only the second person to serve as president of the three major professional organizations: the Organization of American Historians, American Historical Association, and Society of American Historians.

Another excellent reference is the book by Rev. Wayne Perryman: "White, Blacks and Racist Democrats:  The Untold History of Race & Politics Within The Democratic Party From 1792-2009."   As a result of his research, Rev. Perryman sued the Democratic Party for their history of racism.  Democratic Party leaders came into court and, under oath, admitted their racist past, but refused to apologize because they know they can take the black vote for granted.

Below is an extensive timeline that provides details about the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party. 

The above information and below historical timeline demonstrate that the Republican Party has always been the party of the four F’s:  family, faith, freedom and fairness. 

As author Michael Scheuer wrote, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s:  slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.  Democrats have been running black communities for the past 50 years, and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands.

A Reflection of the racist attitude of the liberals/socialists/progressives in the Democratic Party can be found in the words of liberal icons Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, and President Lyndon Johnson, as shown below.

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” 

~ Margaret Sanger

“These Negroes, they’re getting uppity these days.  That’s a problem for us, since they got something now they never had before.  The political pull to back up their upityness.  Now, we’ve got to do something about this.  We’ve got to give them a little something.  Just enough to quiet them down, but not enough to make a difference.  If we don’t move at all, their allies will line up against us.  And there’ll be no way to stop them.  It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”

~ President Lyndon B. Johnson

Historical Timeline of the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party

Documents in the Georgia archives include the words of Georgia-born Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan from the September 1928 edition of the Klan’s “Kourier Magazine.”  Forrest wrote: “I have never voted for any man who was not a regular Democrat.  My father … never voted for any man who was not a Democrat.  My grandfather was …the head of the Ku Klux Klan in reconstruction days….  My great-grandfather was a life-long Democrat….  My great-great-grandfather was…one of the founders of the Democratic Party.”

After the Civil War, over 3,000 Republicans — black and white — were lynched by the Ku Klux Klan, 1,000 of whom where white.

Republicans, led by Republican President Ulysses Grant, took action and destroyed the Klan with the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.  Undaunted, Democrats in the 20^th Century helped the Klan to re-emerge when racist Democrat President Woodrow Wilson premiered the racist movie, Birth of a Nation, in the White House in 1915.

Inspired by the movie, some Georgia Democrats revived the Klan which once again became a powerful force within the Democratic Party and so dominated the 1924 Democratic Convention that Republicans called it the Klanbake. 

Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1930s appointed a Klansman, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL), to the U.S. Supreme Court.  The Klansmen against whom the civil rights movement activists struggled in the 1950’s were all Democrats. 

The notorious Alabama police commissioner Eugene “Bull” Connor, who attacked black civil rights demonstrators with dogs, clubs and fire hoses, was both a Klansman and the Democratic Party’s National Committeeman for Alabama. 

Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), to third-in-line for the presidency, and he remained a Democrat until he died in 2010.

A look at the following timeline will provide a vivid picture of Democratic Party opposition to civil rights for blacks from the days of slavery through the modern-day civil rights movement.  The fight against black civil rights by Democrats is contrasted with the support for equality for blacks by the Republican Party from the inception of the Republican Party as the anti-slavery party in 1854 until today.

Latest Million Man March Fizzles

Let us now damn the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March with faint praise. The rally was organized, like the 1995 march it commemorated, by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.

 

By Bruce Majors

 

 

“Thousands pack D.C. for the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March” reads USA Today’s coverage. That, I think, was accurate – thousands, and nowhere near a million, came.

 

Perhaps to make the crowd seem bigger, the heavily organized and herded attendees were stretched in a long, medium wide column along the national Mall. They were not allowed to fill it out, with lots of empty space on the sides.

 

As a result giant TV monitors and speakers were needed, set up every few blocks between the various parts of the Smithsonian and various art galleries, for those so far away they could not see the stage under the Capitol. The sound system was bad, with speakers reverberating with echoes that made it difficult to tell what those on stage were saying.

 

Perhaps that’s why the crowd, such as it was, seemed bored.

 

 

Even the speakers seemed uninspired. There was no rhyme, no rhapsody, no singing, no call and response. Outside of the speakers on stage the only sound was that of entrepreneurs hawking their wares: commemorative T shirts and arm bands; colorful, somewhat attractive artwork suitable for a home shrine to Farrakhan; and buttons bearing the silhouette of the African continent.

 

 

The only other sound was that of the many — mainly white — also using the Mall, tourists asking for directions, often with assorted foreign accents, and D.C.-yuppie bureaucrats and lawyers, using the Mall for its real daily use as a running track for Washington insiders.

 

Since it was the first day where temperatures had dipped into the 50s, the runners were wearing sweat shirts from various Ivy League and other elite universities. The Million Man Marchers themselves were not a downwardly mobile crowd, who though young, hipsterish and often dread-locked, wore garb that did not bespeak a life of poverty and struggle – T-shirts with slogans like Straight Out of Howard, in reference to D.C.’s historically black college, Howard University, were popular.

 

None of the mainly white interlopers seemed to have gotten the message that the Million Man March would be happening. Indeed D.C. yuppies were having their own festival, Taste of D.C., right beside the back end of the Marchers, on Pennsylvania Avenue, and a suburban Virginia county chapter of the National Organization for Women had a simultaneous rally for equality 25 miles away.

 

What little music I heard wasn’t good, and it wasn’t exactly Stevie Wonder or Chaka Khan.

 

Much of the first couple of hours consisted of people promising the crowd that Farrakhan would eventually arrive and speak to them, and many of the early speakers and singers were Hispanic, including one woman with long blond hair promising “Black and Brown Unity.” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution headlined its coverage “The Million Man March’s understated inclusivity“.) It was a slightly odd theme in a year where illegal immigration and its impact on both the government services and the entry level jobs many African Americans depend on has become a hot topic.

 

Perhaps the unity was instead supposed to be about the other themes some on stage raised, like police brutality against minorities, summarized by one speaker as opposition to the “Blue Klux Klan.” One wonders if a purely race based, divisive, approach, led by someone with the resume of Louis Farrakhan, is the most likely way to  achieve criminal justice reform.

 

Ironically, the event, like most such events, required an enormous police presence to manage.

 

The Nation of Islam volunteers, men in either dark suits and bow ties, or in uniforms reminiscent of a 1950s movie usher, complete with red epaulets and embroidery, were politely keeping streets and sidewalks clear and giving directions, supplementing the police.

 

These volunteers, unlike the bored crowd, were in heaven, on a beautiful sunny day where they belonged and had a purpose. The crowd, a few of whom wore Afrocentric T-shirts and buttons or sported banners from socialist parties, didn’t seem to be mainly Nation of Islam adherents.

 

I suspect they wanted some more substantial fare about how more African Americans — facing rising unemployment  — could belong and have a purpose in the American economy, beyond wearing a funny suit and volunteering to do crowd control. I don’t think they got those answers; Ben Carson,

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and Donald Trump weren’t there.

Ivy League Professor on Ben Carson: "If Only There Was a Coon of the Year Award"

COMMENTARY

By Frances Rice

 

Liberals/progressives were quick to call the below political cartoon of President Barack Obama “racist,” even though it was a parody on how the Los Angeles Times had characterized Obama as a “Magic Negro” in an article.  Yet, those same liberals/progressives feel free to launch vicious, race-laced attacks on Dr. Ben Carson.  Hypocrites.  Further below is an article on the subject.

Ivy League Professor on Ben Carson: "If Only There Was a Coon of the Year Award"

By Katie Pavlich 

 

Tenured University of Pennsylvania Religious Studies Professor Anthea Butler, who has a history of making derogatory and racially fueled comments, is now under fire for suggesting Dr. Ben Carson deserves a "coon of the year award" for his support of flying the Confederate Flag on private property. She made the suggestion on Twitter last week. Campus Reform has the details: 

 

“If only there was a ‘coon of the year’ award…” Professor Butler tweeted in response to another tweet linking to a Sports Illustrated article in which Carson was quoted defended the right of NASCAR fans to fly Confederate flags during races.

“Swastikas are a symbol of hate for some people too … and yet they still exist in our museums and places like that,” Carson observed during the event in North Carolina with NASCAR legend Richard Petty. “If it’s a majority of people in that area who want it to fly, I certainly wouldn't take it down,” he added, noting that NASCAR races are held on private property.

The word “coon” is an offensive term to slander Africans, deriving from the Portuguese word “barracoos,” which is a hut-like dwelling used to store slaves during auctions, according to Online Etymology.

In effect, then, Butler’s tweet insinuated that Carson is a metaphorical slave who belongs in a wooden shed.

 

In the past, Butler (again, a religious studies professor) has referred to God as a "white racist" who "stalks young black men with guns."

As of now, the University has no plans to reprimand Butler for her comments. You can bet if Butler was a white woman, she would have been fired immediately.

The Media's Latest Phony Attack on Ben Carson

By David Limbaugh

 

 

How about the next time the mainstream media decide to fabricate a controversy against a conservative presidential candidate, they choose something less laughable?

 

The media's latest faux gasp concerns Dr. Ben Carson's comments about the Oregon school shooting. When I first watched news reports on it, I didn't immediately grasp the reason for the fuss, not having the artificial sensibilities of the MSM.

 

Asked what he would do in a similar situation as the victims, Carson said: "I would ask everybody to attack the gunman because he can only shoot one of us at a time. That way, we don't all wind up dead." Not only did he not answer the way the media wanted but also he chuckled upon concluding his answer.
 

No one in his right mind would interpret Carson's uncomfortable giggle as a statement that he was laughing at the victims or is indifferent to their fate. Do I have to mention that he dedicated four decades to saving children's lives? Yeah, I thought so.

At the suggestion that he appeared tone-deaf and seemed callous, Carson said, "I'm laughing at them and their silliness," meaning the reporters asking him questions.

It rankles the media when candidates don't immediately cower when accused of this or that sin. Carson is particularly annoying to them, not only because he refuses to back down but also because he has the audacity, in their view, to espouse conservative views despite being African-American. Surely, we can all understand their frustration when blacks stray from the left's prescribed way of thinking.

Carson was not judging the victims; that doesn't even make sense. Almost everyone seriously laments the tragedy, and Carson, as a strong Christian, doubtlessly admires those courageous victims who identified themselves as Christians while knowing it would seal their fate.

Rather, Carson said he wanted to "plant the seed in people's minds so that if this happens again, you know, they don't all get killed."

When pressed about his response, Carson used the opportunity once again to criticize our stifling politically correct culture. He said: "We live in a culture now where people decide that everything you say -- 'we need to set up battle lines' and 'we need to get on this side of it or that side of it' rather than collectively trying to figure out how we solve the problem. It's sort of an immature attitude, but it seems to be something that's rampant in America today."

He is correct. In the first place, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if President Obama hadn't exploited the massacre to rail against guns, gun owners and those dastardly right-wingers who cling to the Second Amendment right to bear arms. If Obama and the left weren't so hellbent on confiscating the weapons of law-abiding Americans, we could spend more time grieving, offering our prayers and later -- after the dust has settled -- discussing these tragedies and possible solutions.

When interviewers showed an interest in Carson's ideas instead of trying to entrap him, it was obvious that he had given this serious thought, as he suggested that we need to study the lives of all the people who've carried out a mass shooting. He said we might empower psychiatrists and psychologists "to take the appropriate interventional steps." He would also seek a "mechanism" to keep weapons away from people whom mental health professionals have identified as dangerous, stressing, however, that "we cannot do anything that compromises the Second Amendment." Finally, he expressed his support for armed guards and armed teachers in schools, if appropriate.

Refreshingly, Carson again refuses to back down from the media's onslaught and even doubles down -- saying his experience in extracting bullets from victims has reinforced his conviction in the wisdom of the Second Amendment.

There is no way reasonable people would conclude that Carson was impugning the shooting victims. It's clear he was offering his ideas, in hindsight, on how people might handle such situations in the future.

The same media that castigated Carson for offering constructive ideas on this problem gave President Obama a total pass for lurching to his lectern to rail against guns and gun control opponents. Never once did they criticize him for his insensitivity and callousness, and he wasn't even responding to a question. He planned -- no, premeditated -- his stunningly inappropriate remarks and all but ignored the nation's and community's grief, choosing instead to lash out in anger at people who won't surrender to his demands.

I can confidently say that people are increasingly disgusted with the media's warped and biased perspective and their double standard to destroy conservatives and shelter liberals. Just consider the absurdity of the media's trying to turn this remarkably fine man into an ogre. Ben Carson's popularity increases in direct proportion to his refusal to cower in the face of such attacks and his resolve to stand on principle. This is one of the many reasons so-called outsiders are doing so well in the polls and will continue to. People have had enough of this nonsense.

The Problem Isn’t Guns Or White Men

By Ann Coulter

 

The media act as if they’re performing a public service by refusing to release details about the perpetrator of the recent mass shooting at a community college in Oregon. But we were given plenty of information about Dylan Roof, Adam Lanza, James Holmes and Jared Loughner.

 

Now, quick: Name the mass shooters at the Chattanooga military recruitment center; the Washington Navy Yard; the high school in Washington state; Fort Hood (the second time) and the Christian college in California. All those shootings also occurred during the last three years.

 

The answers are: Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, Kuwaiti; Aaron Alexis, black, possibly Barbadian-American; Jaylen Ray Fryberg, Indian; Ivan Antonio Lopez, Hispanic; and One L. Goh, Korean immigrant. (While I’m here: Why are we bringing in immigrants who are mentally unstable?)

 

There’s a rigid formula in media accounts of mass shootings: If possible, blame it on angry white men; when that won’t work, blame it on guns.

 

The perpetrator of the latest massacre, Chris Harper-Mercer, was a half-black immigrant, so the media are refusing to get too specific about him. They don’t want to reward the fiend with publicity!

 

But as people hear details the media are not anxious to provide, they realize that, once again: It’s a crazy person. How long is this going to go on?

 

When will the public rise up and demand that the therapeutic community stop loosing these nuts on the public? After the fact, scores of psychiatrists are always lining up to testify that the defendant was legally insane, unable to control his actions. That information would be a lot more helpful before the wanton slaughter.

 

Product manufacturers are required by law to anticipate that some idiot might try to dry his cat in the microwave. But a person whose job it is to evaluate mental illness can’t be required to ascertain whether the person sitting in his office might be unstable enough to kill?

 

Maybe at their next convention, psychiatrists could take up a resolution demanding an end to our absurd patient privacy and involuntary commitment laws.

 

True, America has more privately owned guns than most other countries, and mass shootings are, by definition, committed with guns. But we also make it a lot more difficult than any other country to involuntarily commit crazy people.

 

Since the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s, civil commitment in the United States almost always requires a finding of dangerousness — both imminent and physical — as determined by a judge. Most of the rest of the world has more reasonable standards — you might almost call them “common sense” — allowing family, friends and even acquaintances to petition for involuntarily commitment, with the final decision made by doctors.

 

The result of our laissez-faire approach to dangerous psychotics is visible in the swarms of homeless people on our streets, crazy people in our prison populations and the prevalence of mass shootings.

 

According to a 2002 report by Central Institute of Mental Health for the European Union, the number of involuntarily detained mental patients, per 100,000 people, in other countries looks like this:

 

– Austria, 175

– Finland, 218

The absolute maximum number of mental patients per 100,000 people who could possibly be institutionalized by the state in the U.S. — voluntarily or involuntarily — is: 17. Yes, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center, there are a grand total of 17 psychiatric beds even available, not necessarily being used. In 1955, there were 340.

 

After every mass shooting, the left has a lot of fun forcing Republicans to defend guns. Here’s an idea: Why not force Democrats to defend the right of the dangerous mentally ill not to take their medicine?

 

Liberals will howl about “stigmatizing” the mentally ill, but they sure don’t mind stigmatizing white men or gun owners. About a third of the population consists of white men. Between a third and half of all Americans have guns in the home. If either white men or guns were the main cause of mass murder, no one would be left in the country.

 

But I notice that every mass murder is committed by someone who is mentally ill. When the common denominator is a characteristic found in about 0.1 percent of the population — I think we’ve found the crucial ingredient!

 

Democrats won’t be able to help themselves, but to instantly close ranks and defend dangerous psychotics, hauling out the usual meaningless statistics:

 

– Most mentally ill are not violent!

Undoubtedly true. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANOREXICS, AGORAPHOBICS OR OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVES. We were thinking of paranoid schizophrenics.

 

– The mentally ill are more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence!

I’ll wager that the percentage of the nation’s 310 million guns that are ever used in a crime is quite a bit lower than the percentage of mentally ill to ever engage in violence.

 

As with the “most Muslims are peaceful” canard, while a tiny percentage of mentally ill are violent, a gigantic percentage of mass shooters are mentally ill.

 

How can these heartless Democrats look the parents of dead children in the eye and defend the right of the mentally deranged to store their feces in a shoebox, menace library patrons — and, every now and then, commit mass murder?

Prince of Fools

COMMENTARY

By Frances Rice 

Prince of Fools

 

Source of Graphic:  Unknown

 

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

 

“It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

 

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

 

“Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

 

“The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.”

Bill Whittle of PJMTV gives a stunning comparison of the failed presidency of Barack Obama with a possible presidency of Donald Trump.  The beginning of the video is surprising, yet eye-opening, so continue to watch until the end.

HORROR: New Footage Shows Planned Parenthood Abortionist Explaining How to Harvest BRAINS From Murdered Babies

By Sela T

 

The group behind the 10 videos that has exposed the Planned Parenthood abortion business selling aborted babies and their body parts has released some never-before-seen footage of another Planned Parenthood abortionist discussing the grisly practice. The discussion that takes place in the video with this Abortionist, will have you weeping for humanity.

 

In an interview with Lila Rose, David Daleiden, the president of The Center for Medical Progress, shares unreleased footage featuring Planned Parenthood abortionist Dr. Amna Dermish explaining how she’s striving to obtain “intact calvariums” from her abortion procedures. Apparently, the abortionist hasn’t been able to get fully intact skulls from her abortions yet but hopes to in the future.

 

Dermish is employed by Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas and proudly states that she’s the only doctor who performs abortions after 24-weeks in that region.

 

In the meeting with Dermish, Daleiden is posing as a buyer for a human biologics company that’s looking to buy fetal body parts from Planned Parenthood. Dermish tells Daleiden that she doesn’t routinely convert to breech presentation for the abortion procedure but will do so if she needs to. She said the following about two abortion procedures that she performed after 20-weeks: “It was trunk intact. What I do if It’s a breech presentation I will remove the extremities first, the lower extremities and then go for the spine […] and lower down that way.”

 

In the interview, Rose points out that delivering a baby breech to cut its spinal cord or take out the baby’s brain is the hallmark of a partial-birth abortion. She also explains that Dermish is likely trying to get intact heads from abortions so she can potentially sell them to organ harvesting companies.

 

I do not see how a soul can exist in a human being that kills babies, LET ALONE KILLS BABIES UP TO 24 WEEKS! They are unmistakably little innocent humans in your hands. The abortionist in THIS video, is not human at all…but a Monster!

 

This is a baby born at 24 weeks! Can you imagine being a person who can still sleep at night after taking the life of such a baby?
