The Democrats and slavery

http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/bd/d0/96/bdd096343fd7316b9852c073f2414191.jpg

By Margi Hawks:    "If we are intent on removing all symbols of the Southern plague perhaps we should get rid of the Democrat Party.  My great, great grandmother, supposedly, was a second cousin of Andrew Jackson.  That gave me a sense of pride until I visited his home, the Hermitage in Nashville, where I saw in back of the palatial southern mansion the row of shacks where he housed his slave laborers. 


"My family and their entire church congregation left large plantations which they pioneered in the beautiful blue grass area of Kentucky after it’s admission to the Union as a slave state.  As founders of Xenia, Ohio they began all over again clearing woods and building homes with places to hide those travelling the Underground Railroad.  Just five miles away stands Wilberforce College now a University, the first black owned college in the nation. 



"Andrew Jackson was the first President elected on the newly created pro-slavery Democrat Party ticket in 1828.  You can read online about Jackson’s anger because he thought John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay conspired against him causing him to lose the 1824 election.  Adams lost the next election to Jackson but returned as a United States congressman for 17 years where his was a “thorn in the side” of Democrats for his constant petition to emancipate slaves.   David Barton of Wallbuilders.com has collected a sizeable library of primary and secondary sources printed before 1800.  I was able to see some of these original writings of this Bible believing statesman while on a cruise featuring David Barton (I suggest you search his website).  Search “John Quincy Adams” and scroll to the documents on Adams--- the Abolitionist to see what a remarkable man of faith he was and the passion he had for his cause.
 

"We might bring the case against the Democrat party into the 20th century with ardent pro-slavery Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, who introduced segregation and the “separate” and (anything but) “equal accommodations” of the Jim Crow laws; I experienced them living up close and personal in the Deep South for five years in the early 1950's.  Those laws would bear investigation online (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws).  I could not believe the inhumanity to man by the Democratic controlled South.



"I witnessed the turbulent period between the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision and 1964 when finally, after much upheaval, Democrats agreed to passage of a Civil Rights Act after spurning several previous attempts.   Almost immediately Democrat President, Lyndon B. Johnson, introduced the War on Poverty which has destroyed the inner city family, plaguing the streets with gang violence and drugs.   Now still--- after over 50 years and trillions of dollars--- little has been done to relieve poverty in urban areas.  Verbal lynchings by Democrats have replaced the former physical ones on people of color who have escaped the "Government Plantation" and become respected contributing members of society.  Men and women aiming for political positions on the Right are called Oreos, Uncle Tom, Sambo, Uncle Remus, and traitors who are not "down for the cause."  And just what is the Democrat cause?


"It seems to me Democrats have inflicted and are continuing to inflict people of color with far more damage than the Confederate flag!  What good have their promises done for these they claim to care about?



"It would be difficult to abolish the Democrat Party but perhaps we could demand that Democrat Andrew Jackson’s visage be removed from the $20 bill instead of Alexander Hamilton from his bill.  For replacement I vote for Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass who both escaped the clutches of Democrat slave owners."

Taking back the language: a lexicon of nonsense

 
Hot Air  "In politics, language is critical to winning the message and the battle. Yesterday, in reading this piece at The Daily Beast that called the Center for Medical Progress a “self-described ‘citizen journalist’ project” — isn’t every group “self-described?” —  I was again reminded of language bias, both intentional and unintentional.
Too often, conservatives find ourselves a) fighting an uphill battle against the media on the meanings of words, and b) co-opted by the way the media and culture define, redefine, and redefine again the meanings of words.
. . .
"Anyway. For a fun Friday night piece (seriously? fun? I need a life), please enjoy my non-exhaustive list of words and phrases that are used inappropriately or inaccurately in politics, contrasted with what they actually mean. Add your own in the comments, and if I get one wrong — I am looking forward to reactions about my criticism of the word “patriotism” — please feel free to correct me."
 Just a few shown here:
Abortion rights = Implying that people can have a right to kill innocents
Reproductive health = See “Abortion rights”
. . .
Compromise = Demanding that conservatives cave on beliefs
Government shutdown = Small, non-critical portions of the federal government have temporarily lost funding
Save Social Security = Ignoring mathematical realities, and subsequent policy changes, that would actually save Social Security
. . .
Pro-choice = not giving babies a choice
Anti-choice = giving babies a choice
. . .
Slashing the budget = Preventing government spending from rising as quickly as the CBO projects
. . . War on Women = What the abortion industry does every day
. . . Reasonable = Liberal Republicans
Extreme = People who were previously described as “Reasonable,” until they won their primary and are facing a Democrat for office.

MSNBC Axes Three Programs, Including ‘The Ed Show’

NRO   "MSNBC’s lineup is going to look different soon — the news(ish) network is cancelling “The Cycle,” “Now With Alex Wagner” and “The Ed Show.” Alex Wagner and “Cycle” host Ari Melber are sticking around in MSNBC in some capacity, but Ed Schultz and “Cycle” hosts Toure, Krystal Ball and Abby Huntsman will be leaving MSNBC.

The latest on the persecution of Melissa's Sweet Cakes


 It's not just cake, it's dessert!
http://sweetcakesweb.com/

 

"We here at Sweet Cakes strongly believe that when a man and woman come together to be joined as one, it is truly one of the most special days of their lives, we feel truely honored when we are chosen to do the cake for your special day.


" 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16"

 GoFundMe fundraising site for Sweet Cakes owners goes dark
. . . "More precisely, they would get a "Campaign Not Found" message on the Support Sweet Cakes by Melissa web page.

"A supporter of Aaron and Melissa Klein set up the campaign to help raise money for the couple after an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries issued a proposed order recommending they pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple from Portland." . . .


The Blaze reports   . . . " In September, TheBlaze reported that, following intense scrutiny and furor among gay rights advocates that inevitably impacted business, the Kleins were forced to close Sweet Cakes by Melissa. Now, they’re operating out of their home." . . .
"That harassment came in some very eerie forms, too. In September, Melissa said that someone broke into the Sweet Cakes truck, a vehicle the family uses to advance its business. The truck was parked in the Kleins’ driveway.
"This was particularly nerve-wrecking for Melissa and Aaron, as their home is in a highly secluded area — one that is nowhere near where their former shop.
“ 'Somebody came up into our driveway and rummaged through our truck and took stuff out,” she said. “The really strange thing is, they didn’t steal anything, they just made a mess. It kind of was a little creepy.' ” . . .

The following email just came to me from the Kleins :

Weasel of the Week.

Nice Deb   "Once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

"Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please…

. . . "I personally would pray more for America than for the likes of Dr. Gatter, but perhaps that’s just me. To legally allow a 20-week-old healthy child with a fully developed nervous system to feel the pain of being ripped from the womb as its limbs are crushed when there is no health issue involved but simply convenience – and profit – is bad enough, but to force everyone to subsidize it..that’s in a whole different category." . . .

Hillary's private server emails contained info from 5 intelligence agencies  "Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects are evaporating as more details emerge on her abuse of classified information and her lies about it.  A McClatchy story published yesterday must have Democratic Party elders and the Obama White House, especially Valerie Jarrett, plotting the most effective way to dump her before she takes down the party in the 2016 election." . . .

John Fund: Hillary Clinton: An Indecisive Hamlet on the Issues?   "Hillary Clinton is known for being politically cautious to a fault. But no one expected the non-answer that she gave at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire this week when she was asked her stance on building the Keystone XL pipeline.
 “If it’s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question,” Clinton said. “This is President Obama’s decision. I’m not going to second-guess him.” She claimed that because she oversaw the process of analyzing the pipeline while she was secretary of state (the pipeline would begin in Canada) she had to in some way recuse herself from expressing an opinion.
. . . 
"It turns out that Keystone is one of six issues where Hillary has decided to take a Profile in Obfuscation by not taking a position. The others are offshore oil drilling, fracking, trade, repeal of the Obamacare medical-device tax, and big bank regulation. The Washington Post has a hilarious rundown on her non-positions.
" I can’t wait for the first debate between Hillary and her opponents to see if she maintains her absurd distance between the issues and a willingness to state an opinion on them."

Naturally the video went viral, spawning a gazillion posts and tweets, appearance cancellations and apologies (one non-apology, one groveling apology), and no doubt outperforming news of global wars and climate disasters in the daily clickbait race." . . .

According to reports, a lion garnered more media attention in one day than the Planned Parenthood videos had in two weeks.  . . . "The mainstream outlets wouldn’t even touch the story for more than 24 hours. Something so horrific, so unconscionable and the media ignores it. Don’t you wonder why? Jimmy Kimmel can blather on about a dead lion; something regularly and legally hunted in Africa, but makes no mention of murdered children’s body parts being sold? And you wonder why I had the audacity to question that?"

Planned Parenthood President Made 39 Visits To Obama’s White House Since 2009


"Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, head of the taxpayer-subsidized abortion giant currently facing a firestorm for allegedly selling body parts harvested from aborted babies, has made personal visits to the White House 39 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, White House records show.

"According to online records on the White House website, Richards first visited the White House on Jan. 20, 2009 — the same day Obama first took office. Since then, Richards has met with Obama alone at least three times and First Lady Michelle Obama at least twice. She also met with president and his wife together another four times." . . .

U.S. intel fears hundreds of secrets leaked in Hillary’s private emails

Washington Times 
" Many more classified emails identified as Congress is notified"

 Hillary Rodham Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, fended off the new questions about the email scandal and suspicious foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, distracting from her effort to wrangle support from union bosses at the AFL-CIO's annual summer meeting. (Associated Press)

"The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.

"The top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committee have been notified in recent days that the extent of classified information on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server was likely far more extensive than the four emails publicly acknowledged last week as containing some sensitive spy agency secrets." . . .
