U.N. and Obama
I watched the U.N. speech by our President today and got what I expected. "It's everybody's fault but theirs. The U.N. is a joke and an expensive one at that. I listened to a man that spoke of a Utopian world order that does not exist and will not change overnight. He is trying to force Free Peoples and a Countries Laws and hand them over to people with no moral clarity, no laws and only one sense of allegiance. Yes I grant you there are a few good ones that would help make our country better but that being said there are the ones that just want to come here and to Europe to change a civilization. Common sense Academics today cannot distinguish between the two of them. They like to think they can but actions back up the fact that they cannot. The fact that he announces to the world his facts and thinking that shows he has very little opinion for anyone living with this uncontrollable behavior. And that only he is right and everyone crying out for help are wrong. That is the problem with politics today, they have become surrounded by security for their families and wealth for themselves and have just plain forgot about the people who put them there.
We live in a time of disturbing turmoil and lack of clarity. No one is going to wake up tomorrow and find all nations living as one. Humans as a species are tribal by nature. That is except for the U.S. The United States has become a proving ground for people of different faiths and colors and tribal backgrounds living together. But under one law that was set fourth by the populous of this Nation. It took some pretty smart men to come up with this world changing Idea. And now 240 years later we have men who try and best them with Political Correctness and Psychological terminology. That has lead us to the division we have today. They "our elected officials have failed us trying to best better men than them". Watching Obama today speak made us a weaker country. Our policies are now shaped by Political Correctness and Psychological Terms and not by something simple like "what is best for the people". It has become what is best for everyone else but the people of this country, and we are paying for it now. Most people will discount what I have said because they have live under a thin vale of security. But that security is being breached everyday. Go to France or Germany or England, Australia and see what them poor people have to put up with and when you come home you will see the world a bit different. You will then get a better understanding of how and why people in this nation are calling attention to Cult problem they are all facing. It has come to the war for the minds of people that is being fought here and we are losing ourselves in it's place. Being American is not Racist nor is it Anti-Islamist or any other name you garner to it, it is pride in One Nation under God and the Shinning Beacon on the hill, the voice of the voiceless. You give that up you have nothing.

Era of Words(Deplorables)
I watched a Presidential Candidate offer up a broad statement about American Voters being Deplorable. Why? Because they do not fall into the line of victimhood, this woman implies that we are all victims and there are no perpetrators. My assertion is she is the perpetrator. She thrives on dividing people into groups and then uses a Freudian Slip to co-mingle them into larger groups, all to serve her agenda. You know what I mean, we live in an era where there is a Phobia for everything. That to me is an over complication of a simple problem. The solution to that problem is to vote out all the people dividing us and thus solving the problem. But as you can see America has been divided so badly, people do not know where to fall on any issue. One thing that stumps me is that we have a condition for everything "Islamophobia Racist Sexist Homophobic, and so on. But the one I do not see is what kind of Phobia can I claim as a white male?" Oh that's right I have white privilege. How dumb of me to forget. The color of my skin is what put me through school took my tests and now does my job for me. My color does that not me. What an Asinine concept. My grandfather told me that you get out of life what you are willing to put into it. And as far as being lumped into the world of the deplorables that is just Asinine as well.
If we as Americans do not wake up to this naming and shaming and PC Culture that has become rampant in our country and does not stop we will soon not have a country. This is the playbook of the Rules for Radicals. Divide and conquer. I hate to say it but looking at this makes me seem to think that it is working.
Stop blaming others for your own failures and pull yourself up by your bootstraps and learn what the people in-charge are really doing to all of us. And that is taking the blame off of themselves and putting it on nameless faceless asinine theories. Good God people read and learn your History and think for yourself. Stop letting the wolves heard the sheep. It is time to be the Lion and think for yourself and stand for your principles and for true beliefs not one's thought up by Academic failures.
God Help This Country Too See Her True Potential. What made her great in the first place One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice For All.

Race History Plain and Simple Demarcates vs Republicans
The history they do not want you to know.
Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery. The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, passed in 1865 with 100% Republican support but only 23% Democrat support in congress.
Why is this indisputable fact so rarely mentioned? PBS documentaries about slavery and the Civil War barely mention it, for example. One can certainly argue that the parties have changed in 150 years (more about that below), but that does not change the historical fact that it was the Democrats who supported slavery and the Republicans who opposed it. And that indisputable fact should not be airbrushed out for fear that it will tarnish the modern Democratic Party.
Had the positions of the parties been the opposite, and the Democrats had fought the Republicans to end slavery, the historical party roles would no doubt be repeated incessantly in these documentaries. Funny how that works.
Fact: During the Civil War era, the "Radical Republicans" were given that name because they wanted to not only end slavery but also to endow the freed slaves with full citizenship, equality, and rights.
Yes, that was indeed a radical idea at the time!
Fact: Lincoln's Vice President, Andrew Johnson, was a strongly pro-Union (but also pro-slavery) Democrat who had been chosen by Lincoln as a compromise running mate to attract Democrats. After Lincoln was assassinated, Johnson thwarted Republican efforts in Congress to recognize the civil rights of the freed slaves, and Southern Democrats continued to thwart any such efforts for close to a century.
Fact: The 14th Amendment, giving full citizenship to freed slaves, passed in 1868 with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. The 15th Amendment, giving freed slaves the right to vote, passed in 1870 with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress.
Regardless of what has happened since then, shouldn't we be grateful to the Republicans for these Amendments to the Constitution? And shouldn't we remember which party stood for freedom and which party fiercely opposed it?
Fact: The Ku Klux Klan was originally and primarily an arm of the Southern Democratic Party. Its mission was to terrorize freed slaves and "ni**er-loving" (their words) Republicans who sympathized with them.
Why is this fact conveniently omitted in so many popular histories and depictions of the KKK, including PBS documentaries? Had the KKK been founded by Republicans, that fact would no doubt be repeated constantly on those shows.
Fact: In the 1950s, President Eisenhower, a Republican, integrated the US military and promoted civil rights for minorities. Eisenhower pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1957. One of Eisenhower's primary political opponents on civil rights prior to 1957 was none other than Lyndon Johnson, then the Democratic Senate Majority Leader. LBJ had voted the straight segregationist line until he changed his position and supported the 1957 Act.
Fact: The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it.
Fact: Contrary to popular misconception, the parties never "switched" on racism. The Democrats just switched from overt racism to a subversive strategy of getting blacks as dependent as possible on government to secure their votes. At the same time, they began a cynical smear campaign to label anyone who opposes their devious strategy as greedy racists.
Following the epic civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the South began a major demographic shift from Democratic to Republican dominance. Many believe that this shift was motivated by racism. While it is certainly true that many Southern racists abandoned the Democratic Party over its new support for racial equality and integration, the notion that they would flock to the Republican Party -- which was a century ahead of the Democrats on those issues -- makes no sense whatsoever.
Yet virtually every liberal, when pressed on the matter, will inevitably claim that the parties "switched," and most racist Democrats became Republicans! In their minds, this historical ju jitsu maneuver apparently transfers all the past sins of the Democrats (slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, etc.) onto the Republicans and all the past virtues of the Republicans (e.g., ending slavery) onto the Democrats! That's quite a feat!
It is true that Barry Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 probably attracted some racist Democrats to the Republican Party. However, Goldwater was not a racist -- at least not an overt racist like so many Southern Democrats of the time, such as George Wallace and Bull Connor. He publicly professed racial equality, and his opposition to the 1964 Act was based on principled grounds of states rights. In any case, his libertarian views were out of step with the mainstream, and he lost the 1964 Presidential election to LBJ in a landslide.
But Goldwater's opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act provided liberals an opening to tar the Republican Party as racist, and they have tenaciously repeated that label so often over the years that it is now the conventional wisdom among liberals. But it is really nothing more than an unsubstantiated myth -- a convenient political lie. If the Republican Party was any more racist than the Democratic Party even in 1964, why did a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act? The idea that Goldwater's vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act trumps a century of history of the Republican Party is ridiculous, to say the least.
Every political party has its racists, but the notion that Republicans are more racist than Democrats or any other party is based on nothing more than a constant drumbeat of unsubstantiated innuendo and assertions by Leftists, constantly echoed by the liberal media. It is a classic example of a Big Lie that becomes "true" simply by virtue of being repeated so many times.
A more likely explanation for the long-term shift from Democratic to Republican dominance in the South was the perception, fair or not, that the Democratic Party had rejected traditional Christian religious values and embraced radical secularism. That includes its hardline support for abortion, its rejection of prayer in public schools, its promotion of the gay agenda, and many other issues.
In the 1960s the Democratic Party changed its strategy for dealing with African Americans. Thanks to earlier Republican initiatives on civil rights, blatant racial oppression was no longer a viable political option. Whereas before that time Southern Democrats had overtly and proudly segregated and terrorized blacks, the national Democratic Party decided instead to be more subtle and get them as dependent on government as possible. As LBJ so elegantly put it (in a famous moment of candor that was recorded for posterity), "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." At the same time, the Democrats started a persistent campaign of lies and innuendo, falsely equating any opposition to their welfare state with racism.
From a purely cynical political perspective, the Democratic strategy of black dependence has been extremely effective. LBJ knew exactly what he was doing. African Americans routinely vote well over 90 percent Democratic for fear that Republicans will cut their government benefits and welfare programs. And what is the result? Before LBJ's Great Society welfare programs, the black illegitimacy rate was as low as 23 percent, but now it has more than tripled to 72 percent.
Most major American city governments have been run by liberal Democrats for decades, and most of those cities have large black sections that are essentially dysfunctional anarchies. Cities like Detroit are overrun by gangs and drug dealers, with burned out homes on every block in some areas. The land values are so low due to crime, blight, and lack of economic opportunity that condemned homes are not even worth rebuilding. Who wants to build a home in an urban war zone? Yet they keep electing liberal Democrats -- and blaming "racist" Republicans for their problems!
Washington DC is another city that has been dominated by liberal Democrats for decades. It spends more per capita on students than almost any other city in the world, yet it has some of the worst academic achievement anywhere and is a drug-infested hellhole. Barack Obama would not dream of sending his own precious daughters to the DC public schools, of course -- but he assures us that those schools are good enough for everyone else. In fact, Obama was instrumental in killing a popular and effective school voucher program in DC, effectively killing hopes for many poor black families trapped in those dysfunctional public schools. His allegiance to the teachers unions apparently trumps his concern for poor black families.
A strong argument could also be made that Democratic support for perpetual affirmative action is racist. It is, after all, the antithesis of Martin Luther King's dream of a color-blind society. Not only is it "reverse racism," but it is based on the premise that African Americans are incapable of competing in the free market on a level playing field. In other words, it is based on the notion of white supremacy, albeit "benevolent" white supremacy rather than the openly hostile white supremacy of the pre-1960s Democratic Party.
The next time someone claims that Republicans are racist and Democrats are not, don't fall for it.
