Distortions About Republicans

I have been trying to examine why it is so many on the left have been working so hard to demonize the Republican party. According to those on the left, we are a group of evil people who hate minorities, gays, poor people, and anyone who isn't white. Since I don't fall into most of the categories that democrats say Republicans support - white, male, rich -- I wanted to write an article about why it is I feel the Republicans are the best party to represent all Americans, rather than the democratic party that seems to want to do nothing other than separate people for political gain.

In order to do this, I must FIRST address the lies and distortions that come from the democrats who are always trying to project their own illness unto everyone else. They attempt to whitewash their history, ignoring what their party has done and then actually make efforts to blame Republicans.

First of all, the Republican party was started under Lincoln. He was the first Republican candidate to win the presidency.  Blacks were first elected to Congress as Republicans and some were ex-slaves. We also know that every single piece of legislation that was passed in an effort to make blacks equal and give them equal rights were not only passed with Republicans but were strongly opposed by the democratic party. In fact the organization called the KKK (founded by democrats), was created to get rid of Republicans -- and since blacks were 100% Republican, they were a natural target for the group rooted in hate and racism. After the democrats took control in 1892, with the Presidency, the House, and Senate, they repealed all of the Republican civil rights acts and enacted Jim Crow laws.

According to democrats, the racists became Dixiecrats and then became Republican, basically prompting everyone to switch parties. The argument is totally absurd and completely false.

The idea that “the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans” is not quite true, as you note. But because of Strom Thurmond it is accepted as a fact. What happened is that the **next** generation (post 1965) of white southern politicians — Newt, Trent Lott, Ashcroft, Cochran, Alexander, etc — joined the GOP. 

So it was really a passing of the torch as the old segregationists retired and were replaced by new young GOP guys. One particularly galling aspect to generalizations about “segregationists became GOP” is that the new GOP South was INTEGRATED for crying out loud, they accepted the Civil Rights revolution. Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter led a group of what would become “New” Democrats like Clinton and Al Gore.

 Professor Larry Schweikart of the University of Dayton continues:

Why did a new generation white Southerners join the GOP? Not because they thought Republicans were racists who would return the South to segregation, but because the GOP was a “local government, small government” party in the old Jeffersonian tradition. Southerners wanted less government and the GOP was their natural home. 

Jimmy Carter, a Civil Rights Democrat, briefly returned some states to the Democrat fold, but in 1980, Goldwater’s heir, Ronald Reagan, sealed this deal for the GOP. The new ”Solid South” was solid GOP. 

BUT, and we must stress this: the new southern Republicans were *integrationist* Republicans who accepted the Civil Rights revolution and full integration while retaining their love of Jeffersonian limited government principles.

Women also benefited from Republicans. The right for women to vote was brought about by the Republicans, not the Democrats -- Here's a nice reality check for those of you that would like some details.

If we listen to the current democrat party, we can see these dems trying to scare people with their fake "war on women" and actually telling people Republicans want to take away a women's right to vote.



I myself have said I would gladly give up my vote if it meant women like the one featured above would not be allowed to vote but, I cannot name one Republican in office that has advocated taking the women's right to vote away.

Affordable, quality education? It has been the democrats who have repeatedly blocked any effort to allow poor children access to private schools through a voucher program. The Republicans have tried relentlessly to get competition among schools in order to raise the overall level of education provided to children. Blacks, poor, and other minorities are constantly the victims horribly run, government schools, especially in the inner-cities (run by democrats), yet the democrats see nothing wrong and their only solution is to deny the problem and maintain the status quo. Of course we know why - unions. The dems are fully backed by corrupt unions that protect teachers that do not do their jobs. We are only instructed to pay them more regardless if students are learning less, and regardless if teachers are preforming better.

Both parties (click to read details), have made changes concerning their stance on public education. Let's also not forget that the same democrats who are all strongly against a voucher program do not send their own children to the public schools they demand for the poor and minorities to attend; their children attend private schools.

The equal pay issue is ridiculous and quite frankly insults my intelligence. I already discussed this issue in another article I wrote, "Women and Their Equal Pay."

You can read more about how ridiculous this issue is and the sheer hypocrisy of the democrat party for bringing up this issue in the first place, click here, here, and here.

Republicans are routinely accused of not supporting things like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid but of course this is false as well. Both the Republicans and Democrats had opponents for these bills and both parties had supporters, which ultimately led to their passage. Some have argued whether these bills have been successful. The system is designed in such a way that asks current workers to pay for those that need Social Security now. Initially, there were plenty of workers for one retiree but that number has massively decreased and is expected to tilt the other way in the next 20 years. Meaning there will be one worker for 2 or 3 retirees.

Social Security was intended to be one source of your income after retirement, but not the sole source.

Yet, it seems as if democrats have been preaching to people for years, at least in my lifetime, that social security is intended to be a person's full retirement plan and when people finally wake up to the reality of social security they can use Republican's as their scapegoat. At this point the program requires major overhaul. As usual we can expect the democrats to pull their "half-truth" propaganda in order to push forward whatever their plan might be to help keep this program on life-support. As we have already witnessed during the Bush 41 years, any attempt at trying to change the program and take action has been routinely shot down and ridiculed by democrats. Only history will show that it would have been best for us to take action years ago when Bush first proposed a solution.

There are still many different issues to discuss but I wanted to bring up a few that have always disturbed me. I feel that the Republicans' message has remained fairly consistent. We have made changes here and there to reflect the people inside of the party but overall our desire has always been equality and economic growth.

All one has to do is turn on the news and see how conservative Republicans are not only attacked on ideas but that they are actually called "evil." Click here to see an interesting site dedicated to this type of rhetoric. Not only will these people lie and distort information, but instead of attacking ideas, they actually attack people. Their message does not end with people being "stupid" or "ignorant" in their minds but rather EVIL. As conservatives, we must read what they have to say in order to seek out the truth and counter these arguments with facts. Again, I say to you, it is not the people we dislike it is the reflection of who they are. They are merely projecting their own beliefs about themselves. It is their egos that have taken them over. Their egos are not who they truly are. If we can get them to question themselves in some small way, there we can begin to break down the walls they have built up around themselves.

The recent election has helped me realize a number of things but most importantly it has helped me become interested in getting out the true, loving message of what it means to be a conservative Republican. I will continue to look for issues that are distorted by the left and do my best to expose them here or lead you to others who have already done so. Together, we can turn things around.

Almost Four Years of Obama and We Still Don't Know Who He Really Is

Four years ago those of us who identify with the Right were constantly questioning exactly who the hell Obama was anyway. For many of us, all we knew was that he was serving his first term in office as a Senator. His books which were autobiographies began to gain exposure and we were told that he was once a BBQ host community organizer. He was linked with the now exposed-fraud-organization-group called ACORN and we were also told that he was an amazing professor who worked at the University in Chicago. Of course we now know that he was merely a law lecturer, not a professor.

History of Democrats

This is a great video to remind those that are historically challenged (lefties I'm talking to you), the democrat party has always been and will always be about dividing people, making them victims or oppressors, and using their struggles for personal gain in power. These are the SAME tactics that the party of demons use today.

Why I'm An A-Hole To Liberals On Facebook

I know, I know, you're not supposed to argue over the internet. Whatever. I have been arguing on the internet since day one of signing on in '95. That was the original basis of its appeal. So, here is one example of what really irritates me about liberals.

My friend posted a link so that we could listen to Ronald Reagan speak about healthcare. Mostly, just pay attention to the woman that I colored green. The one in red just made some point about how she had to argue with her insurance company and they they too make decisions without consulting you or your family.

Bush, Ready for History to Judge Him

AP – FILE - In this Aug. 31, 2005 file photo, President George W. Bush looks out the window of Air Force One …

After two years of near silence, Bush is back.

With his new memoir, "Decision Points," and a promotion tour, the president who in cockier times could not think of a single mistake he had made, lists many. He counts the years without a post-9/11 attack as his transcendent achievement. He says the economic calamity he handed off to Barack Obama was "one ugly way to end a presidency."

You can click the title of this post for the full story.

The story is almost rude towards George Bush. I guess that's expected from the AP but, generally they try to be fair. I think George Bush will most definitely be looked upon as a good president. I think he had his problems, and he certainly wasn't perfect but, he did stand up to terrorism, something that Clinton totally ignored for eight years. I respect Bush for that.

Bush admits that he made mistakes in Iraq as well as at home. Will this shut the liberals up? Doubtful. Nothing the man did was good enough, even when he was pissing off his conservative base and, spending like a drunken Kennedy.

So, what do you think? As the years go by, how will history look upon George W. Bush?

Clinton History

I love history but, what's even more fascinating is recent history. I never liked Clinton. At the time he was running for office, I didn't know much about him so I never really had a reason not to like him, just that he looked like a sleaze. I've taken an interest in politics my whole life but, I was in high school, having the time of my life. I just really wasn't all that interested in paying much attention to what was going on during those years. It was afterwords, that I took more of an interest. However, it seems I just keep learning more and more about who the Clinton's were.

I found this documentary on YouTube. I like it because, it has some real first hand testimony as well as a lot of valuable information about who the Clinton's were before they came into power.

Just wanted to share....There are 12 parts to this. You'll find the others on the related videos section on the YouTube page. Click title to get there.

Imagine....

Imagine for just a moment being in the country you were born into. You know the language, you have family there, you know nothing else. However, this homeland that you were born in is not free. You can never get ahead because, you are taxed. You cannot worship how you chose. There are Kings and Queens and laws are made by people you never elected. There is no freedom to do what you want to do.

Now imagine you are here, a new place, a new country that has freedom. You know nothing else really, just that you can be a Christian, you can chose what you want to do, you won't be taxed to death, there's freedom, there's opportunity.

You decide to leave your homeland, you leave with your family, you know nothing else about this land other than freedom. You travel across an ocean in a boat with hundreds of others who believe the same as you, who want the same as you. You travel for a LONG time. There are no planes, nothing modern, NOTHING modern. You arrive in the free land called America.

Now, just think of what the founders of this country went through, escape from their homeland, war, poverty, illness, ect. All of this in the name of FREEDOM.

We now have a president in office who is hell bent to take the yolk of Europe and throw it in our face! He doesn't believe in freedom, he believes in taxing you to death. He wants to punish those who are successful because, they are "lucky." Forget that they've worked hard, forget that they provide JOBS to Americans, forget that we are a Christian nation.

Yes, ever since Obama has stepped into office, all we here is about how WE need to do this and WE need to do that. WE have to take care of the poor, WE have to provide health care for all. WE have to make nice with rogue nations, WE have to pay more taxes to get out of debt, WE have to separate anything that even MENTIONS G-d from government, WE have to become socialists, WE have to accept everything our ancestors ran away from!

I am American and my roots are American Indian (Cherokee), Mexican, and Polish. My family from Poland left to make a better life for themselves. They went through hell to get to America. They were NOT part of the beginning of this country. I am only fourth generation. Yet, they came here for the very reason that so many others did, FREEDOM. They didn't know English, they didn't know anything other than that there were jobs in packing houses and the rail road was here. They also came her LEGALLY.

As far as my American Indian roots, I don't know much about. My great grandparents lived on a reservation in New Mexico, the reservation was burned and my great grandparents died in the fire, while my grandfather and his brother escaped. They hitchhiked to California and along the way my grandfather's brother died; he had to bury him along the way, an unmarked grave somewhere.

I love America. I love this country and when I was young, I was actually a lot darker than most kids. My father is very dark skinned, while my mother was a just a pale Pole. I remember my father telling me, "You have to remember that you are darker and some people in this country will not like you, simply because you are dark. Don't worry about them. This is the greatest country in the world. You have to remember that if you were in Mexico, you would be nothing. This is the only country where a minority can be successful."

So for all the flaws that occurred in this country's past, we have managed to create an awesome land where even minorities can succeed! That says a lot about this great experiment, doesn't it? How many white people do you see as leaders in Mexico? How many black men are famous in France? Think about that. Come to America, where we are this "white" land and the most powerful person is a BLACK woman named Oprah or, the president is of mixed race. Why we still talk about this country being racist is a mystery to me.

So, I digress...when I think of what my family went through just to get here and to escape from Europe and I see this nation moving toward that type of government, it just makes me sick. How did we allow this to happen? Are Americans just stupid? Did the people that voted for Obama not pay any attention to who he was, who his ties were with, before he became president? Or do they really want us to be socialized? If they do want that, why? Did their family not pass along the horrible things that occurred in Europe before their families came here? Do they not understand what their families went through to come here and be free?

I suppose if your ancestors were slaves, you might not see things the same way. However, that doesn't take away the fact that this is NOW the greatest place for someone to be in this world. I don't need to go into the history of how slaves got here, how their own people sold them into slavery. There's no need for that. The focus should be on how we overcame that and established a place where minorities can succeed.

The whole idea of this country is freedom. Freedom to fail, freedom to be stupid, freedom to succeed, freedom to do good things, freedom to do GREAT things, freedom to help, freedom to not help, ect. If you're still reading, you understand.

It's amazing to watch us come so far and fall so fast.

There is always hope and there is always change. So, hopefully Obama is right. We can have hope, that he will leave office and we can have change, if we get rid of the liberal brain washing that's been going on in this country.

I have hope. I see it everyday on the internet. I know that I am not alone. I know that many people DO know the history of this country and do know that socialism is slavery. I know that many people do know their families' history from stories passed down by their family members.

Whatever happens, I am grateful. I am grateful for this country. I am grateful that I am living in America and I'm grateful to be an American. Are you?
