THE AMERICAN WAY-PART 2-RACISM

The Liberal Way:

Liberals believe you are a racist if:

• You didn't vote for Obama
• You think the law applies to Obama
• You believe affirmative action laws are immoral and harmful to all concerned
• Same for welfare
• You like country music
• You like NASCAR
• You think we should secure our borders
• You support the Tea Party
• You are a conservative

The American Way:

While calling republicans and conservatives racist may serve to silence discussion and drive a wedge through this country based on skin color, it is, in fact, historically inaccurate. But then, being a democrat/liberal means being unencumbered by the facts. A cursory review of some history will show these democrat- liberal-progressive- elitist snobs to be a bunch of lying bastards.

America did not invent slavery but we did end it. It was a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, that put forth the Emancipation Proclamation and conducted a bloody civil war to end that scourge on American history.

It was the Democrats, at their 1868 national convention, that honored the first grand wizard of the KKK.

Not one Democrat voted for the 14^th Amendment, which granted citizenship to former slaves.

It was liberal/progressive heroine Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, who developed what she called the “Negro Project.” In implementing this plan Sanger wrote: "[We propose to] hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

In 1957, it was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who sent the 82^nd Airborne to Little Rock, AR. to force Governor Orval Faubus, a Democrat, to integrate Arkansas' public schools. (Fun Fact: In 1956 Martin Luther King, Jr. publicly announced that he voted for Eisenhower.)

Democrat George Wallace, Jr. served 16 years as governor of Alabama. In his first inaugural speech in 1963 he stated: “In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”

The 1964 Civil Rights Act was signed into law by LBJ. Conservative senator Barry Goldwater, speaking in opposition to the Act, stated, in part: “I wish to make myself perfectly clear. The two portions of this bill to which I have constantly and consistently voiced objections, and which are of such overriding significance that they are determinative of my vote on the entire measure, are those which would embark the Federal Government on a regulatory course of action in the area of so-called- '"public accommodations'" -and in the area of employment--to be precise, Titles II and VII of the bill. I find no constitutional basis for the exercise of Federal regulatory authority in either of these areas; and I believe the attempted usurpation of such power to be a grave threat to the very essence of our basic system of government, namely, that of a constitutional government in which 50 sovereign states have reserved to themselves and to the people those powers not specifically granted to the central or Federal Government.” BAM! Boy did we get stuck with the wrong Barry as president.

Title II outlawed discrimination based on race in hotels, restaurants, theaters and all other “public accommodations.” This violates our freedom of association which courts have ruled is derivative from the First Amendment guarantees of speech, assembly, and petition and it also violates our due process protections regarding liberty and property contained in the 14^th Amendment. Title VII prohibits discrimination by employers on the basis of race. We've been over the employer/employee contractual relationship before so I won't waste your time being redundant.

The racism of contemporary Democratic/liberal elites is manifested in a subtle and yet more insidious way. The have convinced generations of minorities they are victims of a racist American society. The Democratic Party has marketed itself as their advocate and protector. Through the welfare apparatus they have created a permanent condition of dependency among a large segment of the country. Democrat President Lyndon Johnson summed up their plan with his legendary eloquence: “I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” What a bunch of assholes.

True racism, being prejudicial of people based solely on their race, is morally bankrupt and an intellectual absurdity but that doesn't mean there should be a law against it. Not in America. America values freedom and the sovereignty of the individual. We have adopted free market capitalism as our economic system because it is most compatible with those values. Racist business owners and employers that act on their racism by discriminating will be punished because capitalism is a moral system that involves the voluntary commerce between consenting people. As Thomas Sowell observed: “Prejudice is free, but discrimination has costs.” Who among us would go into a bar or restaurant that advertised “No blacks allowed?” I don't know anyone. The place would be out of business in short order. Similarly, an employer that discriminates by hiring people based on criteria other than productivity is cutting his own throat. We don't need affirmative action laws because the free market is colorblind and will always be biased toward productivity.

Conservative Americans want all people to enjoy the blessings of liberty and the dignity of work that facilitates our independence. Liberal politicians fear and loathe independent people. They are a threat to their power. Dependent people are not free but they do vote Democrat and that is all liberal politicians care about.
