Michael Walsh recently wrote a thoughtful piece, The Specter That Haunts America. His post hits the ground running and never looks back:
Like an evil spirit that cannot be exorcised, the Democrats have been plaguing the United States since Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in 1804. Ferociously pro-slavery, the Democrats divided the country practically from its inception, blocked the path to abolition and eventually took up arms against the nation after the election of the first Republican president, firing on Fort Sumter and seceding en masse from the Union. And, a week after they had lost that war, one of them assassinated Abraham Lincoln, elevating a Democrat from a Confederate state to the presidency, and plunging the country into more needless turmoil.
One thing I’ve noticed about The Radical Left over the years is that the phrase “It’s everybody’s problem” is actually Leftspeak for “We’ve done wrong and rather than take personal responsibility it’s better to tar everyone.” Two examples immediately come to mind. Remember AIDS epidemic back in the late 80s / early 90s? Hysteria was pushed to the point where one particularly slimy bureaucrat notched up the fearmongering by suggesting that one could get AIDS from simply standing near a family member. In reality, the plague mainly affected gay men, had all of the money spent targeting the entire population been targeted toward that community, lives could have been saved had the money been spent promoting making a few minor lifestyle changes to the gay community, mainly avoiding a few dangerous behaviors. Likewise, remember the #MeToo movement? Or as Chris Plante brilliantly dubbed it, “The Pound Me Too Movement.” We “learned” that all men were now potential serial sexual harassers, and yet when the smoke cleared the prominent offenders we’d learn of seemed to be almost exclusively Leftists in Hollywood and politics. The movement officially died when Leftists everywhere conveniently ignored a certain Vice President who launched her career by having an affair with a powerful male politician.
The point of that not too short tangent is that when Democrats declare that America was founded on slavery, that our national anthem is racist, that our flag is bigotry, etc, what they’re really doing is trying to project all of their shortcomings onto us normals. So instead of fighting the Democrats’ efforts to smear America, a more proactive approach woudl be to take their efforts and improve on them. And yes, Leftists, this is an endorsement of teaching Critical Race Theory in schools, only with some fine tuninig to replace the falsehoods with accuracies. By all means, all Americans should be taught that Democrats:
- are the party of slavery, which led to the Republican party’s creation to take away their slaves the first time the Democrats started a Civil War.
- are the party of the Ku Klux Klan, including a certain bigoted president who bragged about his ability to work with them.
- were the party of Segregation. And still are.
- are the party that supported mostly peaceful rioters that caused billions of dollars in damage along with multiple murders in predominately black neighborhoods.
- teach that nonwhite children are less intelligent than their white counterparts.
I could go on all day here, but you get the idea. Obviously, not all Democrats are horrible human beings, and not every Democrat in our nation’s history was a bigoted criminal. Before you Lefties get defensive, I’m only looking to start a conversation. I’m not stating that Democrats are a hate group. Or domestic terrorists. Or enemy combatants. All I’m trying to do is have a conversation. And if you’re not even willing to come to the table to discuss your bigotry, that will tell us all we need to know about you, now won’t it. But a good start might be for all of you to read Walsh’s article so we can begin discussing what kind of reparations Democrats owe to the America’s Normals.
So help us out Lefties, what do you have to say for yourselves?

You have mirrored a point I’ve been making for years, but you left out the Democrats instituting what the Democrats currently complain is “institutionalized racism” with their Jim Crow laws wherever they held office in the South. Is this the way Democrats are today? Well, mostly NO, but if they are dedicated to accusing Republicans of being racists because they demand someone make at least a minimal effort to support themselves as they receive government subsidies, they might confront their own history STEEPED in racism, segregation, bigotry and prejudice and atone for it.
We’ve all had this factual history (it CANNOT be denied) right in front of our faces all our lives. But, in school, as we learned about slavery, the Civil War, segregation and civil rights, the history of events never pointed out that this was DEMOCRATS at the wheel and it was REPUBLICANS that were the champions for civil rights, equality and freedom. Democrats, as they created a dependent class of mostly minorities to mine them for votes, relentlessly labeled anyone who opposed the creation of the welfare class as heartlessly racist and it, as Goebbels said it would, stuck.
What is amazing is how few race-centric and race-obsessed blacks can’t understand this and actually align themselves with their former oppressors. How Quisling is that?
Sadly, there have been enough race traitors who joined the grift – Sharpton, Homer Kendi X, Mad Maxine, etc. to brainwash too many others
The biggest fear the slave owners had while keeping the slaves in bondage is they could become educated and thus realize their plight. Fast forward to reconstruction post civil war. The democrats opposed reconstruction not only because they had lost their workforce but they feared normalization of former slaves would be a threat
to their way of life. Hence, enter in all of the racist actions by the democrats of the south.
The examples are plentiful the most identifiable of course, the KKK. The Klan was part and parcel a creation of the southern democrats. The even held the Klan in such esteem as to call the 1924 democrat national convention in NY “The Klan Bake”. They even kept lynching as a part of the party platform.
democrats have known for centuries the way to keep blacks on the “plantation” long after the end of slavery was to prevent them from being properly educated. And add to that the removal of the father as a key component of the black family. Welfare has been a knife in the backs of the black community as it rewarded unwed mothers a lottery win for every baby born.
The democrat party is not the friend of the black people in America.
it should also be made mention that for more than 50 years, black Americans voted predominantly Republican until FDR and most definitely post LBJ.
Kamala Harris Snapped at Joe Biden for Making her Border Czar — Accused Biden’s “White Inner Circle” of Looking Down on Her
A new book by NY Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns reveals tension between the Biden regime and VP Kamala Harris. The Vice President reportedly wanted softball assignments and was angry when she was assigned the open border with Mexico rather than point person to the Nordic countries.
Kamala also thinks Biden’s “white inner circle” looks down on her.
She sounds like a joy to be around.
Must be why her staff is quitting at every turn
Kamala realized that she, and every other non-white Democrat, are being used as slaves and electoral fodder by rich elite white Democrats?
Maybe she’s finally catching on.
The very same Democrat Party that tried to block the Civil Rights the very same Democrat Party of Bull Conner and John Wilkes Booth the very same Democrat Party that needs Blacks enslaved to their policies and keeps them voting Democrat
LBJ had a blunt thought on the subject. Something about the next hundred years…
There is no cure or red pill for most of them…the end.
I agree. They claim to be progressive and it would appear they have progressed far beyond the democrat party of our parents and grandparents
