We are witnessing a first in America. The government taking on average Americans guilty of nothing but exercising their First Amendment Right to speak in dissent. The Democrat White House and Congress have resorted to intimidation because their attempt to take over our Health Care System has failed in the market place of ideas.
We are now being called mobsters, Klansmen , Racist by those we elected to serve US. The time has come to take off the gloves and review American history over the past 60 years or so, so we may identify who really wears these names we are being called.
I am 59 years old. I was in grammar school during the start of Dr. King's marches. I was just becoming a teenager when JFK was killed and I was in college from '68 thru '72. I saw on TV and in the press strange men in WHITE ROBES with torches burning crosses. I saw police beating peaceful protesters with clubs and spraying them with high pressure hoses. I saw politicians blocking young black men and women from entering college., I heard of laws called JIM CROW and about a single woman who took a seat on a bus and turned history upside down. I saw a Governor of Georgia pass out axe handles to patrons of his restaurant.
I appologize in advance for the length of this post as it will probably be the longest I have written in the year I have been a part of the Town Hall Community but I feel deeply about what is going on now and Americans, especially the young - those who grew up only knowing about Pres. Clinton, The Bush's and Obama because the left wing Union teachers and professors have used revisionist tactics in teaching what little history the young are taught need to know the truth about the Party that now has control over all branches of government.
Those speaking out against the Democrat attempt to take over this country and introduce Socialist programs are mobsters, they are un-American, they are Klansmen... so say our Democrat Congressmen, Senators and President. I heard the words "Racist" and "Klansmen" growing up in New Jersey in the 1950's. I was told they described people mainly in the South but not exclusively, white people - who refused to treat other men and women as equals, who would not let Blacks vote, or eat in restaurants or even use public bathrooms and I heard they were - DEMOCRATS. The strange men in sheets with torches by night were Church and Community leaders and businessmen and yes, even members of Congress by day were - DEMOCRATS. My Parents were also Democrats. How could the Party of my Mom and Dad be the Party of these terrible people?
One night when I was 10 my Dad called me to the living room. "I want you to watch this with me Kev," He said. "History may be made tonight and even though you won't understand everything you need to see this." The Democrats may pick a young man to run for President - John F. Kennedy , who, my dad said was his age and if he became President he would change his Party and this country. I watched the 1960 Democratic Convention with my father till the wee hours of the morning falling asleep on his lap and I have been hooked on Politics ever since. Yes, I was a Democrat and in college in 1972 I ran as a delegate pledged to Ed Muskie for the Dem. Convention in Hudson County, NJ. We lost...Hudson County NJ was and probably still is controlled by Democrat thugs ala Chicago.
JFK of course won and was assinated. Bobby Kennedy (my political Idol who I still deeply respect) as Attorney General took on George Wallace and others in his Party who would not let go of segragation. After JFK's death LBJ tried to get Civil Rights Legislation through Congress but was blocked by, you guessed it, his own DEMOCRATS. The Civil Rights Act of 1965 passed because REPUBLICANS supported it. Without Republicans no Civil Rights Act yet the Democrrats to this day still take full credit for it.
As the walls of oppression and segragation came down Democrats found other ways to control minorities, namely through WELFARE, in fact it was mainly welfare that caused the wholesale distruction of the previously close knit and hard working Black Family. It was simple. Offer money, housing, education, food, etc with one requirement - to recieve Welfare benefits the men had to leave their homes, Inspectors came un-announced and if there was a man in the home the checks were to stop!
Democrats used the threat of loosing welfare to intimidate Black voters. To get the Black vote they took over control of the Black family and kept them at their mercy for their support. They were told the Party of Abe Lincoln that fought to free the slaves would take away their benefits if they continued to vote Republican as many Blacks did at the time. So began the long schism between minorities and the ONE Party that historiclly supported them and the new enslavement by the Party of Jim Crow and segragation.
The Party of Lynchers, Klansmen, slave owners, oppressors, intimidators, Union Organizing THUGS NOW calls WE THE PEOPLE who again are standing up for OUR Constitutional Right of FREE SPEECH Racists because we disagree with the first President who happens to have a father who was Black? We are anti-American? We are mobsters?? The Party who gave us the DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION of 1968 in where? Chicago! The Party who's Mayor and Police attacked demonstrators who disagreed with them...WE are mobsters?
This time Obama, Pelosi, Bawney Fwank, Harry Reid and their ilk have gone too far. They won an election. They were not given this Country on a silver platter. They are to be custodians of OUR COUNTRY. They are to REPRESENT not DICTATE. They have NOT been given the authority to re-make this country in their Socialist image. They now intimidate and slur WE THE PEOPLE. They are fools. They will be defeated as were all others in history who took on WE THE PEOPLE. Just ask Slave owners and Hitler and Stalin. They WILL loose at the polls because they have forgotten what America has always been. They will loose because of the AUDACITY of their ARROGANCE. They look down on WE THE PEOPLE who entrusted them with OUR offices. Yes, They WILL loose....WE - AMERICA WILL WIN! We will not be ruled by tyrants... WE WILL WIN. They, The Democrat leadership have already lost!
