During the first two-thirds of the 20th century, The Ku Klux Klan served as "the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party."
The Ku Klux Klan was established by the Democrat Party.
The Ku Klux Klan murdered thousands of Republicans -— African-Americans, Catholics and Jews -- in the years following the Civil War.
The Republican Party and a Republican President, Ulysses S. Grant, crushed the KKK with The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
The Klan was resurrected during the administration of Democrat Woodrow Wilson, an avowed progressive and white supremacist. In the White House, Wilson screened the blockbuster film The Birth of a Nation, which was notorious for "promoting white supremacy and positively portraying the 'knights' of the Ku Klux Klan as heroes."
The film inspired a new generation of Klansmen, complete with burning crosses, white sheets and an ideology based upon race supremacy. As recently as the seventies, the Klan was still utilizing the film to recruit new members.
The KKK soon became such a driving force within the Democrat Party that the 1924 Democrat National Convention was known as "the Klanbake".
In 1937 Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a former member of the Klan, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL), to the Supreme Court.
In the fifties and sixties, members of the KKK who fought the civil rights movement were uniformly Democrats. Infamous police commissioner Bull Connor not only attacked protesters with fire hoses, dogs and clubs, but served as both a KKK member and a committeeman for the Democrat Party.
In the eighties, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) -- a recruiter and regional leader for the Klan -- was elevated to third-in-line for the U.S. Presidency.
Byrd was a mentor to none other than President Joe Biden.
In fact, the greatest civil rights activist in American history -- Martin Luther King, Jr. -- was a Republican.
In one of the greatest speeches in American history -- many historians believe it is second only to The Gettysburg Address -- King dreamed of a day when skin color was as meaningless as eye color. He said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
King supported the NAACP of his era. The group's proud tradition included fighting against the diabolical practice of lynching, supporting the civil rights struggle, and driving legislation that advanced the cause of equal rights and individual liberties.
The NAACP historically had strong ties to the Jewish community: "Jews wrote most of the checks that bankrolled the fights of Martin Luther King... the Freedom Rides of James Farmer and CORE (the Congress of Racial Equality). Ever since the early years of the NAACP more than fifty years before, with a Jewish president and, a few years later, a black national organizer, leading Jews on the board of directors, and a vocal black membership, blacks and Jews were linked in the fight to end racial discrimination."
Fast forward a few decades and we find groups like the NAACP have become the antithesis of King's vision. It has, in the words of the National Black Republican Association, a "racist agenda."
It supports the same party of racism -- the Democrat Party -- that murdered its predecessors. It supports the agenda of dependency and modern slavery, endless big government, and an unconditional loss of liberty.
Today's Democrats unapologetically welcome Louis Farrakhan, a virulent racist who preaches hatred of whites, Jews and Catholics.
Former NAACP Chairman, Julian Bond, is a spiteful, bitter racist who despises anyone that opposes his radical Statist agenda. If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in individual liberty and private property, then Bond's bizarre ideology brands you a racist.
Democrats are illegitimate heirs to King's legacy. Political debate can not occur when proven racists claim that any dispute is the result of racism.
If you critique the impact that millions of illegal aliens have on the prices of rent, food, crime, education, health care or quality of life - Democrats describe the motivation as racism.
Today’s Democrats preach defunding the police, legalizing crime and criminalizing self-defense.
Martin Luther King wouldn't even recognize today's Democrat Party, which is eerily similar to the Klan of old. It appears to embrace hatred based solely upon race, an ideology that is closer to Germany of the thirties than King's America.
Today, Democrats have unleashed millions of illegal aliens across the United States.
Those most impacted include the homeless, seniors, children and low-income families. Their benefits have been stolen by illegal aliens.
Is it an overstatement to say that this invasion serves as a new “Klan”, designed to oppress African-Americans?
I’m not sure I see another explanation.
Maybe could you explain what to all of these people had been democrats for decades and then one day suddenly become republicans while lots of northern republicans became democrats? Do you think they just secretly moved from being democrats and becoming republicans? Did they do this make this change in the middle of the night down to change their southern accents?
I would like to hear your take on this one. I am sure it will be interesting and laughing.
