Fartfy I love watching you bang your head on the wall. I guess that's where the expression head bangers comes in.

The point is all this has to stop. He said she said... This country is more divided now and more racist feelings have been expressed than any time since before the civil war. SAD HOW THIS HAPPENED UNDER A BLACK PRESIDENT.

SAD he doesn't give a damn about any color of AMERICANS,white, purple, blue, green, grey, neon... It doesn't matter... THIS is about dividing our country any way possible... And you want to still follow this person that has NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW! WHY?... Because so many sheep are are all going BAAAH. BBBAAAHH.. BBBBAAAAAAHHHHH.

The fact that the Republican and Democratic parties swapped ideologies around the turn on the 20th century is a well-accepted fact. Continue to deny all you want, but Lincoln was a liberal, as was the Republican party back then.

Obama studied Lincoln because it was him who first started "bending" the US Constitution to his own will, knowing that by the time the Courts got around to ruling against him it would be too late to change; exactly as Obamacare has done. The recent Court decision did not rule on the legality of the law, but rather upheld it because of the disaster that it would have caused to stop it cold.

And hey, I'll give you that the Republican party has become almost as liberal as the Democrat Party....but the rest of that is just not true. BOTH parties have had their racists, but the truth is the D's have had a LOT more.

They spend the more time pointing at the other Party, and covering their political behinds, so you hear their accusations more often....but that's only to deflect people who aren't paying attention to the facts.

Re Dems you are correct. But the Republicans weren't blameless - the relentless, criminal 'reconstruction' of the south by Yankee republicans using freed slaves as political figureheads added the spice necessary to create the mess that Obama has re-manufactured.

using freed slaves as political figureheads

Like I said, both parties have their racists....but not sure what you're referencing here. Explain?

Ted

The Yankee carpetbaggers descended upon the South like a plague of murderous, greedy locusts. They routinely used former slaves as figureheads to take control of Southern politics and steal the land of veterans. In many places vets couldn't vote so former slaves were voted into office by the carpet baggers and used much like Zero is used today.

That's why Bedford Forrest, the famous cavalry general created the Night Riders - to terrorize those scum and send them packing back to their Northern nests.

Sadly, the Night Riders morphed into a racist outfit and became the KKK. Forrest - being a man of honor then resigned. He worked until his death to bring reconciliation to the races.

He was one of the few men who could do that in those days. People were wise enough to not cross Nathan Bedford Forest. He'd killed 29 Yankees personally, and 2 southerners who faced him in duels. (an aide stopped him from killing another man for running away) And he was a LT. General. Astonishing fellow but gets bad press from public school educated clowns with no knowledge of history.

Robert E Lee also worked for racial reconciliation and yet is being villified, even removed from history by the new Gestapo thought police.
