A liberal fudges the facts a bit

Like I have written on here many, many times before. I hate like the devil to get into fights in the Blogsophere.  But again, I find a stupid liberal shooting off at the mouth, when he does not have a flipping clue what the hell he is even taking about.

First off, go watch this video and then come back here.

Okay you done? Good.

It appears that some liberals watched this show as well. A David Neiwert, who writes at crooks and liars; which is a very well known socialist liberal blog. Which is run by some idiot out in California.

Mr. Neiwert is entitled to his opinion, but he is not entitled to his own set of facts.

He writes:

Um, Ms. Fritsch, you need to avail yourself some history books too. It was conservatives who argued for maintaining slavery before the Civil War. It was conservatives who insisted after the war that blacks be denied the full rights of citizenship,

Whoa! Hold on a second there Jackson Brown! That sir is a falsehood, which has been perpetuated by the Democrats for years…. and it is flat wrong. Here is a video, made by the non-partisan discovery channel:

Matter of fact, here is a video; which was most likely produced by someone in the south, that says basically the same thing about the “Radical Republicans.”

He also says:

and who erected the system of Jim Crow, who led rope-bearing lynch mobs that crucified thousands of black people. It was conservatives who erected “No Black After Sundown” signs at the city borders of thousands of American towns.

Again, this is more Democratic Party Propaganda. It is well known that George Wallace, who delivered one of the most famous addresses was, in fact, a member of the Democratic Party. Further more, it was the Democratic Party of the south that fueled the racial hatred of the south. It was the Democratic Party that was formed by the former confederate Soldiers that lost the civil war.  Apparently Mr. Neiwert never has actually read the history of the Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1885; and that Stephen A. Douglas was, in fact, a Democrat.

You see folks, this is why I left the Democrats; well, actually, they left me. But I digress. It is because of the deception that the Liberals like to pull, when it comes to the history of this Nation. That my friends, is a tragic thing, because not many young people know the truth, they simply believe what they are told.

Now I will concede a point here:

And most of all, it was conservatives who fought the Civil Rights movement tooth and nail. And it was only from the ceaseless efforts of liberals — many of them indeed Christian liberals — in opposition to conservatives, many of them Christian conservatives — that anything was in fact achieved during that era. Somehow, you’ve managed to get your history completely upside down.

He is right here; Strom Thurmond was a perfect example of this. He changed parties after the civil rights act was passed. What Mr. Neiwert fails to say here is that the Republican Party; after Lincoln died and the Radical Republicans were voted out, basically became a isolationist, Anti-Semitic, and yes, flat out racist party, till around the time of William F. Buckey and Irving Kristol switched sides, and began go after the Birchers and their ilk. Which was around the mid to late 1960’s. But from the time of the voting out of the “Radical Republicans”, all the way through to FDR’s time and up till the 1960’s the Republican Party was in fact, not minority friendly. It is a stain on that Party and has been for years. I cannot defend it, nor will I try.  However, it would be helpful to point out, that those days in the Republican Party are quite frankly over. You go around a Republican gathering, and you drop the “N Word” around any of them, and you are asking to get tossed out on your head! Most of them, and I do mean the good majority of them, do not tolerate racism, at all. There are some within the ranks still that harbor prejudices; but they are very small minority in the party, and none of them hold any position any longer. But the good majority of them, are not bigots at all. Much has changed in that party since the 1940’s and 1950’s in the Republican Party and I am quite happy about that.

However, there was a reason behind the opposition to the civil rights act; and no, it is not racism, as it is alleged by the Democrats. It was because of the civil rights act’s unconstitutionality. Basically the bill, in its final form, violated the Constitution. This is why Senator Barry Goldwater would not sign on to it, nor support it, at all.  It is helpful to note that this action of stubbornness cost him the Presidential election. So, while he might have been slightly right about the civil rights act. He was quite wrong about the history of the Republican Party.

DC sniper John Allen Muhammad has been executed

I remember this story, like it was yesterday:

He was happy to watch the sniper die.

“I feel better. I think I can breathe better,” Nelson Rivera said as he watched the execution of convicted killer John Allen Muhammad. “I’m glad he’s gone because he’s not going to hurt anyone else.”

Rivera’s wife Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was one of Muhammad’s 10 victims in a three-week killing spree in the Washington, D.C., area in October 2002. She was gunned down as she vacuumed her van at a Maryland gas station in 2002.

Muhammad taunted police with written messages and phoned-in threats and demands.

He was put to death at the Greenville Correctional Center in Virginia Tuesday night as the victims’ families sat behind glass while watching, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses.

The execution came hours after Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine denied a last-minute clemency request and a day after the

Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case.

Muhammad was declared dead at 9:11 p.m.

via Families of DC sniper victims celebrate John Allen Muhammad’s execution.

I, like many others, were glued to the television, for me it was CNN, watching as this story played out. I, like many others, were still raw after 9/11. CNN never did put the terrorist connection on it. Even though the killer admitted that his motives were of a Islamic terrorist sort. What makes me so damned angry, is the fact that the Liberal media likes to paint this bastard as some sort of a victim of war. The common excuse is that he was driven crazy by the first gulf war. Sorry, I do not buy that idiotic bunch of tripe at all. I know many people who served in that first gulf war; one man personally, while he did have a nasty cough, that he could not shake. He never killed anyone, at all. The sad fact is; that the Ft. Hood shooting and this case are two peas out of the same damned pod, and the idiotic liberal media just will not put the two together. Because they fear a backlash from the Muslim community.

As much as I know, that it will most likely get me attacked for saying this, I happen to agree with this guy here:

I will simply end with this; this is one black man, that I am extremely glad to see is dead. One terrorist down, many millions more to go.

Not everyone likes the "new" GOP

An interesting read here.

Money Quote:

For some reason it does not say that Eisenhower said that his appointment of liberal justices Warren and Brennan were his “two biggest mistakes.” According to Warren, Eisenhower told him prior to Brown, “These [Southerners] are not bad people. All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit alongside some big overgrown Negroes.”

Opposing activist judges like the ones Eisenhower regrettably nominated continues to elect Republicans to this day. In fact “Courts”—unlike immigration or affirmative action—are one of the six defining issues for the Party on GOP.com.

How about Lincoln? Nowhere does GOP.com even mention that he saved the Union and won the Civil War—or for that matter that he believed he had, “no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races.” Instead, his accomplishments are reduced to his support for the abolition of Slavery.

Save Ronald Reagan, the only heroic Republicans are ones who base their career solely on uplifting African Americans.

The new GOP.com also provides an extended timeline of the Republican Party’s greatest accomplishments. Below are every single of one of the Party’s pre-1960 actions:

Republicans Established the Transcontinental Railroad

Republicans Passed the Land-Grant College Act

The Highest Point in Washington, DC [This refers to the addition of the Freedom Statue atop the Capital, however, they somehow made this entry about the Emancipation of Slavery in DC]

The First Hispanic Governor was a Republican Republicans Freed the Slaves

Republicans Passed the 14th Amendment

Republicans Established the Buffalo Soldiers

Republicans Established Howard University
Memorial Day

Republicans Passed the 15th Amendment

Republican Opposition to Plessy v. Ferguson

The First African-American Senator was a Republican

Republicans Outlawed the Ku Klux Klan

Yellowstone National Park

Republicans Passed the 1875 Civil Rights Act

A Republican Wrote the 19th Amendment

A Former Slave Chaired the 1884 Republican National Convention

First Women Mayors in the United States

A Republican President Appointed the First Jewish Cabinet Secretary [Only true, if you exclude Confederate Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin]

Republicans Passed the Indian Citizenship Act

The First Hispanic U.S. Senator was a Republican

The First Asian-American U.S. Senator was a Republican

The Republican Party First Called for Ending Racial Segregation in the Military

A Republican Integrated the University of Mississippi

A Republican Wrote the Brown v. Board of Education decision [Again, Earl Warren, the first Judicial Activist]

Republicans Established the Federal Highway System

Republicans Passed the 1957 Civil Rights Act

Republicans Ended Racial Segregation in Little Rock.

So, of the Republicans 28 greatest accomplishments during its first 100 years, only five do not involve helping women or minorities.

Trust Busting? Peaceful resolution of the Korean War? The Taft-Hartley Act—or for that matter, the 1924 Immigration Act? All are deemed unimportant.

Interestingly enough, just as none of the post-1960 Republican heroes are minorities, none of the nine post-1957 accomplishments of the GOP involved uplifting blacks?

What happened? Those evil Southern Democrats, whom the GOP.com derides, started voting for the GOP because they were fed up with the increasingly liberal Democrats. Beginning with the Dixiecrat walk out to support Strom Thurmond—who later became a Republican—in 1948, the South slowly left the Democrats and eventually voted en bloc for Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush.

In fact, many major Southern Democratic politicians—starting with Thurmond but continuing on through Mills E. Godwin, Jesse Helms, Phil Graham, Richard Shelby, and Virgil Goode—switched parties.

If someone attended the Five Minutes University on postwar electoral politics, the lesson would be: “Southerners voted Democratic. Blacks voted Republican. They switched parties.”

If they spent a few more minutes, they’d learn that because Southerners and then working class ethnic whites who were upset with the left wing racial, feminist, and cultural policies left the Democratic Party, the New Deal Coalition that kept the GOP out of power for nearly forty years collapsed and the Republicans dominated politics from 1968 until the election of Obama.

In the process, the GOP became less attractive to minorities, while the Democrats became the party of Willie Horton and Jeremiah Wright.

I hate to say it; but he is right.

The PB Pub Presents Resurrection Band

This one hits me really hard. I guess it is where I was raised; which was, for what it is worth, Southwest Detroit.

I offer this without commentary…. This is Afrikaans:

Lyrics:

I hear the gunfire, see the blood run, feel the rage
I see a black man, see a colored man, in a cage
The sweat of miners, digging diamonds, digging graves
To feed the bossman, to feed his family, to feed his slaves
Men are cursing, women praying, for release
But when a white man kills one of “them” no one sees
From Capetown, to Pretoria, to Johannesburg there is a crying
Of people dying, that can be heard

I hear the gunfire, see the blood run, smell the fear
You lock your minds up, shut the curtains, you close your ears

Forget the black man, neglect his baby, ignore his hell
We need apartheid to keep the animal in his cell
You sweep the pavement, shine the buildings, display the maid
You say “republic”, I say blind man, it’s a cage
God makes the color, but the color doesn’t make you God
And in the judgment, He will remember the ones you robbed
Without the Lord’s love, this injustice will prevail
Until Jesus is the only Master, we’ll never break the bars of jail

In case anyone has forgotten

This is the real cost of war.

Guest Voice: A TIMELINE OF 20TH CENTURY APOSTASY by David Cloud

September 30, 2009 (David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org; for instructions about subscribing and unsubscribing or changing addresses, see the information paragraph at the end of the article) –

The following is excerpted from the book The Modern Bible Version Hall of Shame, which is available from Way of Life Literature in both book and ebook formats. (292 pages)

Having looked at the late 18th and the 19th centuries and seen the apostasy that swept into Christian churches in the same era that produced modern textual criticism, we will now show a timeline of 20th century apostasy to document what has happened within Christianity at large as the modern critical texts and modern English versions have become dominant. We will begin at the very end of the 19th century after the publication of the English Revised Version and the Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament and move through the 20th. We will see that the unbelief that had begun as a stream in the late 18th century and had become a river in the 19th century became “a veritable ocean of unbelief” in the 20th. Like ivy, the modernism that had slept in the late 18th century and crept in the 19th, leapt in the 20th.

1900 — As a predecessor of the Pentecostal movement, John Alexander Dowie proclaimed that he was “Elijah the Restorer” who was to precede the Lord’s coming and that he was the first apostle of the renewed end time church. Dowie established Zion City north of Chicago, “where doctors, drugs, and devils were not allowed.” His own daughter died of serious burns when he refused medical assistance.
1901 — The modern tongues movement was launched when on New Year’s day Agnes Ozman, a student at Charles Parham’s Bethel Bible School in Topeka, Kansas, allegedly began to speak in a language she had never learned.

1904 — Sigmund Freud published his Psychopathology of Everyday Life, launching the movement of psychoanalysis that has brought such untold moral, spiritual, and psychological injury to modern society and that has permeated Christianity since the latter half of the century.

1906 — The strange and unscriptural “Azusa Street Revival,” with its gibberish “tongues,” false promise of healing, and women preachers, began in Los Angeles, inaugurating the Pentecostal movement.

——— Albert Schweitzer published The Quest for the Historical Jesus, claiming that Jesus was not the supernatural Messiah, the eternal Son of God, but a mere man who, thinking that the destruction of the world was imminent, attempted to usher it in by his death.

1907 — Walter Rauschenbusch published Christianity and the Social Crisis, popularizing the unscriptural Social Gospel. Other influential names in the Social Gospel movement were Washington Gladden and Charles Sheldon, author of In His Footsteps.
