Sometimes,
I guess, you have to figure out SOMETHING….ANYTHING…..that
might…hopefully….derail the mounting evidence…..
Although
I’ve heard it from time to time for several years now, I’m hearing it
CONSTANTLY these days:
“The
Republicans and Democrats have ‘switched sides’”.
This is
now THE reaction to anyone bringing up Democrat’s role in slavery, the (anti)
Suffrage movement, the (anti) Civil Rights movement, Jim Crow laws, creation of
the Ku Klux Klan, etc….
And,
I’ll be honest….if I’m a Democrat, I’m RUNNING….SCREAMING….away from the
factual history of my Party! Cuz……you know……GEEEEEEZZ!
But,
let’s be clear: The two Parties HAVEN’T changed sides.
What HAS
happened:
-
The Republican Party has become the new “Whig
Party”. (The Whig Party was the “anti-slavery” party….at least, in name and
platform. Their problem: ZERO action was taken by the Whigs to stop slavery.
Ultimately, this is what caused their demise; another minor Party, the
Republican Party, running on a platform of abolishing slavery, succeeded in
getting their second candidate elected to the Presidency). Today, while their
platform professes “pro-life” (anti-abortion), the Republican Party takes only
minor steps in seeking the abolition of this human rights issue. They have
become the “New Whig Party”.
-
The Democrat Party remains exactly the same.
Once, their rally cry was “SLAVERY!”. Then “NO SUFFRAGE!”. Then “NO CIVIL
RIGHTS!”.
Yadda yadda yadda….
Throughout THEIR history, the Democrat Party has
a CLEAR track record of discrimination…..LEGISLATED discrimination. And that
track record continues to this very day. (Of COURSE they realize this….why else
do you think they are claiming the side switching???!!)
The current rally cry: “ABORTION!!!!” “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!” “EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH (…and
Government-funded, too)!!!” “HATE CRIME
LAWS!!!!” ALL of these laws are
inherently discriminatory, since they….LEGISLATIVELY…..single out a group or
groups of people (whether based on stage of life, ethnicity, etc) and design
laws that either directly benefit or negatively-target those respective groups.
Discrimination…..legislated.
No, the
parties haven’t “switched sides”; they’re merely proving that history, indeed,
DOES repeat.
