Are Obama and his friends taking you as a fool?

You have to wonder what they really think about the intelligence of
the American people.

Obama repeatedly has out-and-out lied about his healthcare plan.

Here are just 5 of the big whoppers.

Lie #1: 'You Keep Your Doctor, You Keep Your Insurer'

This is a complete fabrication.

Under plans Obama has backed in the House and the Senate, almost any
business can opt their employees into the "public option" — the
government health plan.

That means you could lose your insurer. And if your doctor is worth
his salt, you'll lose him or her as well.

Why? Because great doctors probably will not want to get the very low
rates the government will pay private doctors who are part of the new
government system.

So, without your consent, you very easily could lose your insurer and
your doctor.

Lie #2: The Elderly Will Not Face Rationing or Medicare Cuts

More baloney.

In fact, just last week, The New York Times, a very liberal and very
pro-Obama newspaper, admitted that fears of rationing for elderly
patients are "not irrational."

The truth is that Obamacare would almost 50 million new patients to
government care.

Who would pay for it. You would!

Seniors on Medicare will be the first hit.

Here's what the Times reported: "Bills now in Congress would squeeze
savings out of Medicare, a lifeline for the elderly, on the assumption
that doctors and hospitals can be more efficient."

This means that faceless bureaucrats will decide the type and quality
of your care.

It is a very dangerous thing to give your life and well-being over to
government bureaucrats!

Imagine if you or a loved one is older than 80 years and critically
needs heart surgery.

Instead of getting the heart procedure, you or that loved one could be
informed that you are simply too old.

We at the League of American Voters have been warning of this danger
and have a powerful TV commercial exposing the risks to seniors.

You can see the ad by Going Here Now

Lie #3: There Will Be No "Death Panels."

More lies.

Sure, they don't call them "death panels" in the legislation, but
that's what their job will be.

These committee members will set guidelines with which faceless
bureaucrats will make decisions about you and your healthcare.

They will decide who lives and who dies. They decide who gets critical
procedures and expensive medicines.

Again, according to the New York Times, the Democratic plans call for
saving money by creating new oversight committees.

The Times says that Medicare and insurers would be expected to follow
"advice from a new federal panel of medical experts on 'what
treatments work best.'”

Again, this very liberal paper concluded: "The zeal for cutting health
costs, combined with proposals to compare the effectiveness of various
treatments and to counsel seniors on end-of-life care, may explain why
some people think the legislation is about rationing, which could
affect access to the most expensive services in the final months of
life."

Expose the lies — Go Here Now.

Lie #4: The Obama Plan Contains Costs

Absolute nonsense.

The Obama plan will cost more than $1 trillion in new federal outlays,
according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

This past weekend, Sen. Joe Lieberman claimed that most of this cost
comes from adding 50 million people, currently uninsured, to the
government health system.

But as Lieberman pointed out, we just don't have the money to do this
right now.

You can add only so many people to the government system by cutting
medical care to seniors on Medicare and raising taxes.

Democrats clearly plan to do both.

Lie #5: Illegals Are Not Covered by Obamacare

President Obama has stated time and again that illegal aliens are not
covered under his new plan.

Still, Democrats say they want to add almost 50 million uninsured. Yet
almost one-quarter of these uninsured are illegal aliens.

None of the Democratic plans excludes illegal aliens.

In fact, when Republicans proposed an amendment to the House plan to
block illegals from getting free government healthcare, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and her minions soundly defeated the motion.

Many, many lies are emanating from Washington today.

This is why the work of the League of American Voters is so critical
now.

Dick Morris, the famous Fox News analyst and campaign strategist, says
the League is the No. 1 organization today fighting Obamacare.

"Every American who wants to stop Obamacare should join with the
League," Morris says. "They have the best strategy to stop it from
becoming law."

Just two weeks ago, the League's powerful new TV ad went on the air.

Thanks to your help, it's already running in 12 states — and it is
affecting millions of people.

We believe it is one reason some Democrats are starting to retreat.

But our job is not done.

We must fight the lies.

We must expose the dangers of Obamacare to all Americans.

Oh, OK, blow a goat...

Helps? Who the **** cares...
R

I. Acts of Bigotry by Prominent Democrats and Leftists:


Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Franklin Roosevelt, the long time hero and
standard bearer of the Democrat Party, headed up and implemented one
of the most horrible racist policies of the 20th Century – the
Japanese Internment Camps during World War II. Roosevelt unilaterally
and knowingly enacted Japanese Internment through the use of
presidential Executive Orders 9066 and 9102 during the early years of
the war. These orders single-handedly led to the imprisonment of an
estimated 120,000 law abiding Americans of Japanese ancestry, the
overwhelming majority of them natural born second and third
generation
American citizens. Countless innocents lost their property, fortunes,
and, in the case of an unfortunate few, even their lives as a result
of Roosevelt's internment camps, camps that have been accurately
described as America's concentration camps. Perhaps most telling
about
the racist nature of Roosevelt's order was his clearly expressed
intention to apply it almost entirely to Japanese Americans, even
though America was also at war with Germany and Italy. In 1943,
Roosevelt wrote regarding concerns of German and Italian Americans
that they t0o would share in the fate of the interned Japanese
Americans, noting that "no collective evacuation of German and
Italian
aliens is contemplated at this time." Despite this assertion,
Roosevelt did exhibit his personal fears about Italian and German
Americans, and in his typical racist form he used an ethnic
stereotype
to make his point. Expressing about his position on German and
Italian Americans during World War II, Roosevelt stated “I don’t care
so much about the Italians, they are a lot of opera singers, but the
Germans are different. They may be dangerous.”


Roosevelt also appointed two notorious segregationists to the United
States Supreme Court. Roosevelt appointed South Carolina
segregationist Democrat Jimmy Byrnes to the court. Roosevelt later
made Byrnes a top advisor, where the segregationist earned the
nickname “assistant president.” Byrnes was Roosevelt’s second choice
behind Harry Truman for the VP nod in his 1944 reelection bid.
Roosevelt also appointed segregationist Democrat Senator Hugo Black
of
Alabama to the court. Black was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan
with a notorious record of racism himself.


Hugo Black: A former Democrat Senator from Alabama and liberal U.S.
Supreme Court Justice appointed by FDR, Hugo Black had a lengthy
history of hate group activism. Black was a member of the Ku Klux
Klan
in the 1920's and gained his legal fame defending Klansmen under
prosecution for racial murders. In one prominent case, Black provided
legal representation to Klansman Edwin Stephenson for the hate-
induced
murder of a Catholic priest in Birmingham. A jury composed of several
Klan members acquited Stephenson of the murder, reportedly after
Black
expressed Klan gestures to the jury during the trial. In 1926 Black
sought and won election as a Democrat to the United States Senate
after campaigning heavily to Klan membership. He is said to have told
one Klan audience "I desire to impress upon you as representatives of
the real Anglo-Saxon sentiment that must and will control the
destinies of the stars and stripes, that I want your counsel." In the
Senate Black became a stauch supporter of the liberal New Deal
initiatives of FDR and a solid opponent of civil rights legislation,
including a filibuster of an anti-lynching measure. Black led the
push
for several New Deal programs and was a key participant in FDR's
court
packing scandal. Roosevelt appointed Black, a loyal ally, to the U.S.
Supreme Court. During the Senate confirmation of Black's nomination,
the issue of his strong Klan affiliations caused a public controversy
over his appointment. Following the confirmation Roosevelt claimed
ignorance of Black's Klan past, though this claim was dubious at
best.
Black's first Senate election, which occurred with Klan support, had
been covered nationally a decade earlier in 1926. Black's Klan
affiliations were a well known part of his political background and
recieved heavy coverage in the newspapers at the time of his
appointment. On the court, Black became a liberal stalwart. He also
continued his career of supporting racism by authoring the opinion in
favor of FDR's Japanese internment program in the infamous Korematsu
ruling.


Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV: Byrd is a former member of the Ku Klux
Klan
and is currently the only national elected official with a history in
the Klan, a well known hate group. Byrd was extremely active in the
Klan and rose to the rank of “Kleagle,” an official Klan membership
recruiter. Byrd once stated that he joined the Klan because it was
effective in "promoting traditional American values" (Source). Byrd's
choice of words speak volumes about his bigotry considering the fact
that the Klan is a notorious hate group, and the racist "values" it
promotes are anything but American. One of the earliest criticisms of
Byrd's Klan ties came in 1952 when he was running for Congress. Byrd
responded by claiming that he had left the Klan in 1943 while noting
that "(d)uring the nine years that have followed, I have never been
interested in the Klan." Byrd was lying, however, as he engaged in
correspondence with a Klan Imperial Wizard long after he claims to
have ended his ties with the hate group.


In a letter to the Klan leadership (Source) dated 3 years after he
purported to have ended his ties with them, Byrd wrote "I am a former
kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining
counties of the state. The Klan is needed today as never before and I
am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd continued
his racist diatribe "It is necessary that the order be promoted
immediately and in every state of the Union" and followed with a
request for assistance from the hate group's leadership in
"rebuilding
the Klan in the realm" of West Virginia.


Byrd's racism extends far beyond his Klan membership. In a letter he
wrote on the subject of desegregating the armed forces, Byrd
escalated
his racist rhetoric to an appalling level. In the letter, Byrd vowed
that he would never fight in an integrated armed services noting "(r)
ather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in
the
dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours
become
degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from
the wilds" (Source).


Byrd's racist opinions have shown their ugly face in his behavior in
the Senate. Byrd led the filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and, according to the United States Senate's own website,
filibustered
the legislation to the bitter end appearing as one of the last
opponents to the act before a coalition of civil rights proponents
led
by Republican Minority Leader Everett Dirksen invoked cloture so that
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 could pass. At the time, Byrd was in the
the midst of a 14 hour and 13 minute filibuster diatribe against the
key civil rights measure (Source). Throughout the 1960's, Byrd was
was one of the staunchest opponents to civil rights in the U.S.
Senate. Byrd’s racist history drew attention recently when he went on
national television and repeatedly used the n-word, one of the most
vicious racial slurs in existence, in an appearance on national
television. Byrd uttered the slur on Fox News Sunday with Tony Snow
on
March 5, 2001. Despite the appalling nature of the remark, it went
largely ignored by the mainstream media and the self appointed "civil
rights" leadership. Whereas a similar remark by anyone other than a
leading Democrat Senator would assuredly prompt the likes of Jesse
Jackson to assemble protest rallies demanding resignations, the
Jackson crowd was eerily quiet following Byrd's remarks, issuing only
low key suggestions that Byrd should avoid making such bigoted
remarks.


In a sickening recognition of Byrd's appalling political career, the
national Democrat party has done nothing but embrace the West
Virginia
senator with leadership roles and practically every honor imaginable.
To this very day the Democrats call former Klansman turned U.S.
Senator Robert Byrd the "conscience of the Senate." They have
embraced
him as their party's central pillar in all ways possible. Byrd has
been reelected more times than any other Democrat senator, has served
as a Democrat in Congress, a Democrat State Senator in West Virginia,
and a Democrat State Delegate in West Virginia. Democrats have made
repeatedly elected Byrd into their national party leadership and into
the U.S. Senate leadership. He became secretary of the Senate
Democrat
Caucus in 1967, and Senate Democrat Whip in 1971. The Democrats
elected former Klansman Byrd as their Senate Majority Leader from
1977-1980 and as their Senate Minority Leader from 1981-1986. Byrd
was
again elected Democrat Majority Leader from 1987-1988. Democrats made
Byrd the chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee and
President Pro Tempore of the Senate from 1989 until the Republicans
won control of the Senate in November 1994. Following the defection
of
Jim Jeffords in June 2001, the Democrats again made Byrd the chairman
of the Appropriations Committee and elected him to the highest
ranking
office in the Senate: the President Pro Tempore, a position which
also
put this former Klansman 4th in line for the presidency. Byrd lost
his
position when Republicans retook the Senate in late 2002, but
continues to serve as one of the highest ranking members of the
Democrat Senate leadership today.


Senator Ernest Hollings, D-SC: Hollings is liberal Democrat Senator
from South Carolina who is also notorious for his use of racial
slurs.
He rose out of the Democrat Party's segregationist wing in the 1960's
as governor of South Carolina. While in office as governor, Hollings
personally led the opposition to lunch counter integration in his
state. The New York Times reported on March 17, 1960 that then-
governor Hollings "warned today that South Carolina would not permit
'explosive' manifestations in connection with Negro demands for
lunch-
counter services." According to the article, Hollings gave a speech
in
which he "challenged President Eisenhower's contention that
minorities
had the right to engage in certain types of demonstrations" against
segregation. In the speech Hollings described the Republican
president
as "confused" and asserted that Eisenhower had done "great damage to
peace and good order" by supporting the rights of minorities to
protest segregation at the lunch counters.


Governor Hollings' support for segregation continued throughout his
term and included his attendance at a July 23, 1961 meeting of
segregationist Democrats to organize their opposition to the civil
rights movement. Hollings was one of four governors in attendence,
all
of them Democrats. The others included rabid segregationists Orval
Faubus of Arkansas and Ross Barnett of Mississippi. The New York
Times
reported on the meeting, noting that among the strategies discussed
were using the segregationist White Citizens Council organization to
mobilize political opposition to desegregation.


In more recent years Hollings, a senior Democrat senator, has made
disparaging racial remarks and slurs against minorities. Senator
Hollings, who was a contender for his party's presidential nomination
in 1984, blamed his defeat in the primaries by using a racial slur
against Hispanics. After losing the Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings stated
"You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston,"
referring to one of his opponents, Alan Cranston. A few years later
Hollings reportedly used the slur "darkies" to derogatorily refer to
blacks. He also once disparagingly referred to the Rainbow PUSH
Coalition as the "Blackbow Coalition," and called former Senator
Howard Metzenbaum, who is Jewish, "the Senator from B'nai B'rith."
Hollings gained international criticism for his remarks about the
African Delegation to the 1993 Geneva GATT conference, where he
crudely remarked "you'd find these potentates from down in Africa,
you
know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a
good square meal in Geneva." Hollings was also the Governor of South
Carolina who raised the confederate flag over the state capitol in
the
early 1960's in what was considered at the time to be an act of
defiance to civil rights. The press ignored Hollings and his role in
the flag issue at the same time the political correctness police were
smearing George W. Bush during his campaign after Bush correctly
remarked that the flag was a state issue to be decided upon by South
Carolina and not the national government.


Jesse Jackson: Jackson was the featured prime time speaker at the
2000
Democrat Convention. Jackson has a history of using anti-Semitic
slurs
and derogatorily calling New York City “Hymietown.” Jackson, a
prominent self proclaimed "civil rights leader," is himself guilty of
the same bigotry he dishonestly purports to oppose.


Dan Rather: Rather, the well known television anchor for CBS, is
also
a liberal Democrat who has spoken at fundraisers for the Democrat
party in the past. The notoriously left wing reporter appeared on the
Don Imus radio show on July 19, 2001 where he was interviewed about
his long term refusal to cover the Gary Condit (D-CA) scandal
involving an affair with a missing intern despite the scandal's
national prominence. Rather noted on the air that CBS had basically
forced him to cover the story that was on every other network and on
the front page of all the major newspapers, all this after Rather
avoided it for months. Rather stated on the air, refering to CBS,
that
"they got the Buckwheats" and made him cover the Condit scandal. The
term "Buckwheat" is considered an offensive racial stereotype that
stems from an easily frightened black character named "Buckwheat" on
the Little Rascals comedies. It is widely regarded as a racial
epithet and has long been condemned as an offensive stereotype by
several civil rights organizations. In several past incidents (see
here and here) the use of the epithet "Buckwheat" has recieved
condemnation by the NAACP, Al Sharpton and other left wing
organizations. These left wing organizations and personalities have
demanded that other media personalities be fired over using the
epithet, and even staged a protest at a school over the mere
allegation that the racist stereotype had been used by a teacher. Yet
these same liberal groups have, to date, remained completely silent
now that one of their own, Dan Rather, is guilty of using the same
offensive racial stereotype they have condemned elsewhere on a
national radio show. It's just more proof of how the left wingers who
cry the loudest with accusations of racism against others turn a
blind
eye when somebody of their own left wing ideology is the undeniable
culprit of a blatantly racist act or statement!


Cragg Hines: Hines is one of the most rabidly partisan DC based
Democrat editorial columnists to work for a major newspaper, and he
makes no attempts to hide it. To Hines, pro-lifers are
"neanderthals,"
as is often the case with those who differ in opinion with him.
Ironically, Hines, a columnist who regularly touts himself as an
enlightened progressive, is also known for racial remarks and
religious intolerance. He attacked Senator Jesse Helms in an August
26, 2001 editorial with not only the usual liberal name calling, but
also with a racial epithet. Hines used the racial slur "cracker" to
attack Helms. He used the epithet not only within the article's text,
but he even included it in the piece's title. In a sense of heavy
irony, Hines' article accused Helms of bigotry for, among other
things, opposing liberal policies like affirmative action. He didn't
seem to object to himself for his own bigotted language in the same
article. Hines has also drawn heavy criticism from Catholics
including
a letter to the editor from the former President of the U.S. Catholic
Bishop's Conference for his seemingly agenda-driven criticisms of
Catholicism and its religious leaders, often based on little or no
historical evidence, which he has expressed in numerous editorial
columns.


Al Sharpton: Sharpton, a perrenial Democrat candidate and one of the
rumored candidates for the Democrat's 2004 presidential nomination,
has a notorious racist past. Sharpton was a central figure who fanned
the 1991 Crown Heights race riot, where a mob shouting anti-semetic
slurs murdered an innocent Jewish man. Sharpton also incited a 1995
protest of a Jewish owned store in Harlem where protesters used
several anti-semetic slurs. During the protests, a Sharpton
lieutenant
called the store's owner a "bloodsucker" and declared an intent to
"loot the Jews." A member of the protest mob later set fire to the
store, resulting in the death of seven (source).


Representative Dick Gephardt, D-MO: Gephardt, the former Democrat
Minority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, gave several
speeches to a St. Louis area hate group during his early years as a
representative. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Gephardt
spoke before the Metro South Citizens Council, a now defunct white
supremacist organization, during his early years as a congressman.
Newsmax.com further reported that Gephardt had openly asked the group
for an endorsement of his candidacy during one of his many visits
with
the organization. Gephardt has long avoided questions about his past
affiliation with this group.


Andrew Cuomo: Cuomo, Bill Clinton's former Housing Secretary and a
prominent Democrat political player in New York, was tape recorded
using racially inflamatory rhetoric to build opposition to a
potential
Democrat primary opponent while speaking to a Democrat group. Cuomo
stated that voting for his rival for the New York Democrat
gubernatorial nomination Carl McCall, who is black, would create a
"racial contract" between Black and Hispanic Democrats "and that
can't happen." Upon initial reports, Cuomo denied the statement but
later a tape recording surfaced. Cuomo later dropped out of the race
for governor (source).


Lee P. Brown: Brown, Bill Clinton's former drug czar and Democrat
mayor of Houston, engaged in racist campaigning designed to suppress
Hispanic voter turnout during his 2001 reelection bid. Brown faced
challenger Orlando Sanchez, a Hispanic Republican who drew heavy
support from the Hispanic community during the general election. Two
weeks prior to the runoff, Brown's campaign printed racist signs
designed to intimidate Hispanic voters. The signs featured a
photograph of Sanchez and the words "Anti-Hispanic." The signs drew
harsh criticism from Hispanic leaders as their message was designed
to
intimidate and confuse Hispanic voters. Around the same time the
signs
were being used, Brown supporter and city councilman Carol Alvarado
made a series of racially charged attacks on Sanchez, implying a
desire to see the supression of Hispanic voter turnout in the runoff.
Brown staffers also went on record claiming that Sanchez was not a
true Hispanic. The racist anti-Hispanic undertones of Brown's
reelection bid were so great that liberal Democrat city councilman
John Castillo, himself Hispanic, retracted his endorsement of Brown
in
disgust and became a Sanchez supporter in the final week of the
campaign. Following the harsh condemnation of the racist signs and
tactics, Brown purported that his campaign was removing them even
though many still lingered around Houston up until the election. When
election day came along, Brown placed more of the racist signs at
polling places, despite his claim to have stopped using them. The
large campaign billboard style election day signs featured, in
Spanish, the word "Danger!" on them followed by Sanchez's name with a
large red circle and slash through it. The signs identified the Brown
campaign as their owner on the bottom. Brown's racially charged
reelection effort barely squeeked by Sanchez on election day, winning
51% to 49% following a series of racially motivated advertisements in
which the Brown campaign appealed to the fear of black voters by
invoking images of the gruesome lynching death of James Byrd, Jr. and
by attempting to pit them against Hispanics. While Brown had the
audacity to declare himself a mayor for all people and all
ethnicities
at his victory party, many in Houston fear the racial wounds
inflicted
by his campaign will take years to heal.


Mary Frances Berry: Berry is the Democrat chair of the US Commission
on Civil Rights (USCCR). She purports herself to be an "independent"
in her political affiliation in order to hold her job on the civil
rights commission where partisan membership may not exceed 4 for
either party, but is in fact a dedicated liberal Democrat who openly
supported Al Gore for president and has given a total of $20,000 in
personal contributions to the Democrat Party, Al Gore for President,
and other Democrat candidates over the last decade. Berry is an open
racist who is affiliated with the far-left Pacifica radio network, a
group with ties to black nationalist causes. Berry once stated "Civil
rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do
not apply to them," indicating that she believes the USCCR should
only
look out for civil rights violations against persons of certain
select
skin colors.


Billy McKinney: Former Democrat State Representative Billy McKinney
of
Georgia, who is also the father of former Democrat congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney of the same state. During his daughter's failed 2002
reelection bid, McKinney appeared on television where he blamed his
daughter's difficulties on a Jewish conspiracy. McKinney unleashed a
string of anti-semitic sentiments, stating "This is all about the
Jews" and spelling out "J-E-W-S." McKinney lost his own seat in a
runoff a few weeks later.


The Democrat Party and the Ku Klux Klan: Aside from the multiple Klan
members who have served in elected capacity within the high ranks of
the Democrat Party, the political party itself has a lengthy but
often
overlooked history of involvement with the Ku Klux Klan. Though it
has
been all but forgotten by the media, the Democrat National Convention
of 1924 was host to one of the largest Klan gatherings in American
history. Dubbed the "Klanbake convention" at the time, the 1924
Democrat National Convention in New York was dominated by a platform
dispute surrounding the Ku Klux Klan. A minority of the delegates to
the convention attempted to condemn the hate group in the party's
platform, but found their proposal shot down by Klan supporters
within
the party. As delegates inside the convention voted in the Klan's
favor, the Klan itself mobilized a celebratory rally outside. On July
4, 1924 one of the largest Klan gatherings ever occurred outside the
convention on a field in nearby New Jersey. The event was marked by
speakers spewing racial hatred, celebrations of their platform
victory
in the Democrat Convention, and ended in a cross burning.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-----


II. Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights Movement:
A little known fact of history involves the heavy opposition to the
civil rights movement by several prominent Democrats. Similar
historical neglect is given to the important role Republicans played
in supporting the civil rights movement. A calculation of 26 major
civil rights votes from 1933 through the 1960's civil rights era
shows
that Republicans favored civil rights in approximately 96% of the
votes, whereas the Democrats opposed them in 80% of the votes! These
facts are often intentionally overlooked by the left wing Democrats
for obvious reasons. In some cases, the Democrats have told flat out
lies about their shameful record during the civil rights movement.


Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several
prominent and well known liberal Democrat standard bearers including:
- Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia
- J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill
Clinton
- Albert Gore Sr., Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of
Al Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition
to the Civil Rights Act.
- Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame
- Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro
Tempore


The complete list of the 21 Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights
Act
of 1964 includes Senators:


- Hill and Sparkman of Alabama
- Fulbright and McClellan of Arkansas
- Holland and Smathers of Florida
- Russell and Talmadge of Georgia
- Ellender and Long of Louisiana
- Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi
- Ervin and Jordan of North Carolina
- Johnston and Thurmond of South Carolina
- Gore Sr. and Walters of Tennessee
- H. Byrd and Robertson of Virginia
- R. Byrd of West Virginia


Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights Act was substantial enough to
literally split the party in two. A whopping 40% of the House
Democrats VOTED AGAINST the Civil Rights Act, while 80% of
Republicans
SUPPORTED it. Republican support in the Senate was even higher.
Similar trends occurred with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was
supported by 82% of House Republicans and 94% of Senate Republicans.
The same Democrat standard bearers took their normal racists stances,
this time with Senator Fulbright leading the opposition effort.


It took the hard work of Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett
Dirksen and Republican Whip Thomas Kuchel to pass the Civil Rights
Act
(Dirksen was presented a civil rights accomplishment award for the
year by the head of the NAACP in recognition of his efforts). Upon
breaking the Democrat filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
Republican Dirksen took to the Senate floor and exclaimed "The time
has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in
education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is
here!" (Full text of speech). Sadly, Democrats and revisionist
historians have all but forgotten (and intentionally so) that it was
Republican Dirksen, not the divided Democrats, who made the Civil
Rights Act a reality. Dirksen also broke the Democrat filibuster of
the 1957 Civil Rights Act that was signed by Republican President
Eisenhower.


Outside of Congress, the three most notorious opponents of school
integration were all Democrats:
- Orval Faubus, Democrat Governor of Arkansas and one of Bill
Clinton's political heroes
- George Wallace, Democrat Governor of Alabama
- Lester Maddox, Democrat Governor of Georgia


The most famous of the school desegregation standoffs involved
Governor Faubus. Democrat Faubus used police and state forces to
block
the integration of a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. The
standoff was settled and the school was integrated only after the
intervention of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.


Even the Democrat Party organization resisted integration and refused
to allow minority participation for decades. Exclusion of minorities
was the general rule of the Democrat Party of many states for
decades,
especially in Texas. This racist policy reached its peak under the
New
Deal in the southern and western states, often known as the New Deal
Coalition region of FDR. The Supreme Court in Nixon v. Herndon
declared the practice of "white primaries" unconstitutional in 1927
after states had passed laws barring Blacks from participating in
Democrat primaries. But the Democrat Parties did not yield to the
Court’s order. After Nixon v. Herndon, Democrats simply made rules
within the party's individual executive committees to bar minorities
from participating, which were struck down in Nixon v. Condon in
1932.
The Democrats, in typical racist fashion, responded by using state
parties to pass rules barring blacks from participation. This
decision
was upheld in Grovey v. Townsend, which was not overturned until 1944
by Smith v. Allwright. The Texas Democrats responded with their usual
ploys and turned to what was known as the "Jaybird system" which used
private Democrat clubs to hold white-only votes on a slate of
candidates, which were then transferred to the Democrat party itself
and put on their primary ballot as the only choices. Terry v. Adams
overturned the Jaybird system, prompting the Democrats to institute
blocks of unit rule voting procedures as well as the infamous
literacy
tests and other Jim Crow regulations to specifically block minorities
from participating in their primaries. In the end, it took 4 direct
Supreme Court orders to end the Democrat's "white primary" system,
and
after that it took countless additional orders, several acts of
Congress, and a constitutional amendment to tear down the Jim Crow
codes that preserved the Democrat's white primary for decades beyond
the final Supreme Court order ruling it officially unconstitutional.


Hispanics in South Texas were treated especially poorly by the
Democrat Party, which relied heavily on a system of political bosses
to coerce and intimidate Hispanics into voting for Democrat primary
candidates of choice. Though coercion is illegal, this system, known
as the Patron system, is still in use to this day by local Democrat
parties in some heavy Hispanic communities of the southwest.

The next time Democrats take to the national airwaves to dishonestly
accuse Republicans of racial hatred, remember who the historical
record up until this very day points to as the real bigots: The
Democrat Party. In all possible ways, the Democrat Party is built
around the pillars of ultra leftists, many of whom are known
participants in racism and/or affiliates of racist hate groups.
Consider the Democrat Party of today's heroes and leaders:
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democrat icon and orchestrator of
Japanese Internment
- Ex-House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, former affiliate of a St.
Louis area racist group
- Ex-Senate President Pro Tempore Robert Byrd, former Ku Klux
Klansman
known for making bigoted slurs on national television
- Rev. Jesse Jackson, Democrat keynote speaker and race hustler known
for making anti-Semitic slurs
- Rev. Al Sharpten, Democrat activist and perennial candidate and
race
hustler known inciting anti-Semitic violence in New York City
- Sen. Ernest Hollings, leading Democrat Senator known for use of
racial slurs against several minority groups
- Lee P. Brown, former Clinton cabinet official and Democrat mayor of
Houston who won reelection using racial intimidation against Hispanic
voters
- Andrew Cuomo, former Clinton cabinet official and Democrat
candidate
for NY Governor who made racist statements about a black opponent.
- Dan Rather, Democrat CBS news anchor and editorialist known for
using anti-black racial epithets on a national radio broadcast
- Donna Brazile, former Gore campaign manager known for making anti-
white racial attacks. Brazile has also worked for Jackson, Gephardt,
and Michael Dukakis


The simple truth is that the Democrat Party's history during this
century is one closely aligned to bigotry in a record stemming
largely
out of the liberal New Deal era up until the modern day. Bigots are
at
the center of the Democrat party's current leadership and role
models.
And in a striking display of hypocrisy, many of the same Democrats
who
dishonestly shout accusations of "bigotry" at conservatives are
practicing bigots of the most disgusting and disreputable kind
themselves.

A guy goes into a bar and there is a robot bartender.
The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says “Martini.”
The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man,

“What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168.”

The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and
medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar.
The robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says,
"Martini".
Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says,

"What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100."
The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere
tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting,
so he thinks he will try it one more time.

He goes back into the bar.
The robot says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini", and the robot brings him another great
martini.

The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50."

The robot leans in real close and says,

"So... you people still happy you voted for Obama?"
