THE SATURDAY GRUDGE

Posted by Pistol Pete

There’s not a lot going on today,so I guess it’s time for a rant on the story that will be politicized ad nauseum for the forseeable future.I’m going to post a few links,although everybody will draw their own conclusion.

I have never considered myself a racist,just an ordinary man who thinks people should be judged on what they have in their souls.I resent women who are mothers at 14,grandmothers at 29 and great-grandmothers in their 40’s.I resent neighborhoods in my own town where whites dare not go after dark and running red lights when the thugs are on the street lest I be carjacked and beaten to death for my car and whatever I have in my pocket.I resent working hard every day of my life and sacrificing so my kids could have a better life then being told I’m greedy because I’m not giving my ‘fair share’ to people who’ve never worked a day and don’t plan to.

There is a Congressional Black Caucus,Miss Black America pageant,Black Businessman’s Assn. and Council of Black Colleges.They get race-based preferences and police and fire departments are forced to lower their standards to allow more blacks while bypassing more qualified white applicants.Liberal politicians fundraise in tax-exempt black churches because white people are too intimidated to protest.

Do you know what the #1 cause of death among black males 16-30 is?Homicide.It’s an everyday occurrence.No special outrage.Last weekend there were over 40 shootings and 18 deaths in Chicago alone.When the weather gets warmer,the crimes will increase substantially.A lot of white-guilters believed Obama would bring the races together.We all knew differently,didn’t we?Racial hatred is the left’s main weapon to keep these sheep on the plantation.

Being intelligent,rational people we wait until all the facts come out before we draw any conclusions.Leftists are the antithesis of rationality.They operated on raw emotion and the Trayvon Martin shooting gave them an excuse to raise hell.All the usual race-hustlers are out in force,including Teh Won,the most shameless race-baiter of all.

This allows him to change the subject from high gas prices,a disastrous energy policy,Obamacare being heard by SCOTUS next week and the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia calling for all churches to be burned.There are many things of far greater import we should be talking about,but the LSM will milk this for all its worth.And that,to me,is the real tragedy.

Rant over for now.I don’t expect any responses,but I said what I felt needed to be said.If I get banned for political incorrectness,so be it.

Civil Rights and the Democratic Party

The next time anyone claims that Democrats have been supporting civil rights in America since the dawn of time, send them here:

Granted, most of the examples are from before most of us were born. But the Democrat website claims they have “worked to pass” and “led the fight” on “every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws” which is just pure donkey manure.

Those who actually admit to the truth of the Democratic Party’s history still manage to claim that TODAY’S Democrats are the Good People, because all those Bad Old Racist Southern Democrats went and defected to the Republican Party where they acted like a rotten apple in the pro-civil rights barrel of the GOP so that now ALL Republicans are EVIL RAAAAACISTS!

Yeah, right.

The Republican Party was founded in 1854 with the express purpose of ending slavery in the United States. When the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, was elected, Southern Democrats seceded from the union rather than accept him as their national leader.

The voting records make it clear that from that time straight through the civil rights acts of 1964-65, it was Republicans who were fighting for civil rights advancements and Democrats who were fighting them.

What has been the big exception since then?

Abortion.

But it is only Democrats who consider the legal killing of unborn Americans to be a civil right.

Republicans consider it worse than slavery or capital punishment. Slaves were fed and housed. Capital criminals get free legal counsel and years of mandatory appeals. The inconvenient unborn aren’t even granted an advocate to speak for them, never mind a hearing or a waiting period before they can be summarily executed.

And they didn’t lose their unalienable Right to Life because a majority of Americans decided they should. They were deemed “nonpersons” (i.e., “property”) under the law by a 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court.

And this society-changing legal decision wasn’t based on any clearly stated unalienable right that had been written into the Constitution by our founding fathers.

It was based on a shadowy right that only some of the most liberal of the justices claimed to have discerned in the “penumbra” of rights listed therein.

(The penumbra is the lighter part of a shadow. The darker part is called the umbra.)

More than 50 million unborn Americans have been slaughtered because a handful of black robed justices and a majority of Democrats decided that this unstated and shadowy “right to privacy” was more important than the clearly stated and spotlighted-in-the-first-line “right to life.”

When it comes to civil rights, 50 million dead babies is about all the modern Democratic Party can really call its own … and they call us the evil ones.

Republicans, Democrats and Blacks

The Civil Rights Act of 1871 is still one of the most powerful authorities with which state and federal courts may protect those whose rights are deprived.

Ku Klux Klan means “Circle of Brothers” [kuklos = Greek for circle].

1869–1871   41st Congress   3 Blacks, all Republicans, 1 Senator
1871–1873   42nd Congress  5 Blacks, all Republicans
1873–1875   43rd Congress   7 Blacks, all Republicans
1875–1877   44th Congress   7 Blacks, all Republicans, 1 Senator
1877–1879   45th Congress   4 Blacks, all Republicans, 1 Senator

Enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing blacks’ voting and running Republicans out of office.

The violence and laws designed to prevent Blacks from voting allowed segregationist white Democrats to regain political power in all Southern states by 1877.

The number of Blacks elected to Congress began to decline until, from 1902 to 1929, there were none.
