Shhh! Don’t confuse Reid with history while he’s playing the race card!
It was the GOP that fought slavery and the Democrat Party that battled to preserve it.
It’s the Democrat Party, not the GOP, that boasts an ex-Klansman among its senior leaders.
But don’t confuse Harry Reid with history while he invokes slavery to lambaste the GOP for opposing the government-run health care takeover.
Details? Bah!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.
The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations on the Senate floor, also compared health care foes to those who opposed women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement — even though it was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and it was Republicans who led the charge against slavery.
Senate Republicans on Monday called Reid’s comments “offensive” and “unbelievable.”
Not unbelievable, of course. The Left has been playing the race card on Demcare from the start. Jesse Jackson. Jimmy Carter. Harry Reid.
Conservative producer/director Ray Griggs takes the smear meme head on:
Crying “RAAAAAACIST:” Always the first and last refuge of left-wing scoundrels.
Reap what you sow, Harry. The latest from Nevada:
Not great news for Harry Reid: A majority of Nevadans now disapprove of Democrats’ plans for healthcare reform, according to a Las Vegas Journal-Review poll.
Fifty-three percent of those polled say they do not support reform legislation, wich 39% in favor. In October, 49% opposed it and 40% favored it.
I’m sure Nevadans appreciate being likened to slavemasters, too.

have been looking for the opportunity to post my thoughts on the elitism of our current crop of politicians. Have developed an acronym that I think explains very well what is going on.

Harry Reid is easily confused. He was born senile.
Why is it that no one, NO ONE, questions this but you, Michelle?
I’m beginning to think I must be insane. Or living in some parallel universe where up is down…
Interesting, considering that Reid’s plan would enslave US citizens to the federal government and to foreign nationals living in the US.
Women’s suffrage? Whatever it is, it sounds awful! Who could be for that? Is there a lot of screaming involved?
A REPUBLICAN signed the Emancipation Proclamation. A REPUBLICAN led the Civil Rights Movement (Martin Luther King). The KKK were mostly democrats.
But, I actually consider it a complement when looney leftwing liberals call me “racist”. That means they are out of logical arguements and are reduced to name-calling.
This approach is going to hurt his cause.
Let us be thankful that Reid isn’t very bright.
The word ‘racist’ has taken the place of profanity for those who haven’t the intelligence to debate the merits of their argument.
The hopes of the Democrats’ legislative agenda rest upon a flimsy Reid.
Michelle,Please post links to the conservative candidate opposing Reid. He is a Royal pain in th A–!
I do believe ole Dingy Harrys Truss is wound up way, way to tight.
Dingy, darlen, sugar, sweety, get a grip! You d’s keep using the race word for everything that does not go your way, frankly you HAVE got get a new word. Using this race word, IMO, not only upsets the white American’s, but the black American’s also. Like minded American’s see what you gosh horrible elected want to do to our nation and WE DO NOT LIKE IT!
L
I have shed enough light on this in the past, but I find it interesting that the only time conservatives identify with the Republican party itself is when discussing its (formerly) positive record on civil rights. However, if you pay any attention at all to which Republicans were tough on civil rights, it’s the Nelson Rockefeller RINO’s, rather than the Barry Goldwater conservatives, who have since assumed control of the Republican party.
This says it all. The South was once Democrat (indeed nearly all its representatives to the Senate and House opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964). Is it any wonder why it is no longer?
It’s a little confusing when to point out how evil we are, The Democrats accuse us of being like Democrats.
These same Maroons are at the same time literally trying to tax the air we breath.
Talk about Bizarro World.
Go on, admit it, you’re really Harry Reid.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness….
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:9-10
“Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;(Czars?) and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things…” 2 Timothy 4:2-5
Actually it is a pretty good analogy.
Slavery was not a concern of the Federal government in the 1850′s yet they started formulating policy about the concept and distroyed state’s rights as a consequence. You remember, those little rights that we considered important in our system of government.
Now they are formulating policy on health care that will take away individual liberties. So yes, there is a comparison.
Dobby the house elve just stepped in dog poo again.
So conservatives don’t identify with the the Republican Party but they are in control of it? Brilliant analysis Sherlock. Please, shed some more light on conservatives that you understand so well.
Fill in the blank, “Abraham Lincoln was a member of the ____________ Party.”
Answer: Republican
That’s the nice thing about RSS. You don’t need to rebut him, he does it to himself.
haha. You tell me: who do you identify more with? The Rockefeller Republicans who supported the CRA or the Goldwater conservatives who opposed?
Three card Full Monty?
We have always known politicians will lie-it seems part of the job description but I do not recall it being so bold as it is with the Pelosi/Reid/Democrats in gneral right now. I guess they feel bold in so lying as there is so little media to call them on it.
It is all George Bush’s fault of course. Oh that I could be one of Dingy Harry’s racist instead of a mere self loathing minority–life it cruel isn’t it? Will the voters of Nevada turn out Dingy Harry or re-elect him just to keep him out of Nevada?
But it could be worse: Harry could nail Nancy and stick the world with some really ugly kids
That’s right, Harry. It wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, and it isn’t over now.
Errah, how soon will that high speed train out of Vegas be available? Dingy Harry has a ticket on it for November 2010.
“Identify more with” ??
I “identify with” MLK’s idea of judging people by the content of the character rather than the color of their skin.
“Civil Rights” under the Democrats brought us affirmative action racism and sexism and discrimination on the basis of a person’s culture.
I supported the CRA. Knowing now what it actually did, I would opposed it and fight for something written with more clarity.
It seems really late in the game for Reid to still be name calling. Or is this the only way Reid knows how to debate? Something must be going terribly wrong for Reid.
I would definitely identify myself more closely with the Goldwater Republicans (who were defined far more by their commitment to limited government, not their position on civil rights legislation.) Strangely enough, I don’t identify very much with the current Republican Party (certainly for the last 8 or 10 years) which you claim is controlled by Goldwater conservatives. I do vote Republican as I consider them far better than the alternative but they have hardly been the party of limited government.
who cares? The topic is about that dumb a$$ Reid and the imbecilic Dhimmicrats.
Wrong! Conservatives identify with the Republican party on a lot of issues. You are just blathering nonsense, as usual. It’s a ridiculous statement but it fits your viewpoint so you assume it must be true. Logic built on such idiocy will surely lead to idiotic conclusions.
Doing one and NOT doing the other in order to live free in the USA is what is in common. Poor, foolish Harry.
This is not an issue of conservatives identifying with the Republican party; it’s an issue of correcting the record to show that the Democrat Party has an abysmal record when it comes to advancing the cause of civil rights.
Sen Reid also mention women’s suffrage. Is that the sexism card?
Nope. While hyperbolic, Sen Reid did not play the race card, or the sexism card. Seems we have devolved into any mention of slavery, and the issues related to it, as racism and playing the race card.
Sen Reid was specific and spoke to digging in one’s heels against legislation. He did not call anyone a racist for opposing this legislation. He said they were on the wrong side of history.
Similarly, those who opposed giving women the vote were on the wrong side of history. (Unless, of course, you support the Constitution as the Founders originally intended and agree that women should not have the vote.)
What he actually said – “Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, ‘slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.’ If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,”
Sen Reid did not say it was Republicans or Democrats who said this about slavery, or women’s suffrage. When in fact members of both parties were on both sides of the issues. He is speaking to all Legislators, who at the time, wanted to maintain slavery, keep women from voting, and opposed the Civil Rights legislation.
Suggesting that the race card is being used is just as hyperbolic as Sen Reid’s statements. Nay, it is more so. In both cases hyperbole should be avioded because it solicits emotions that takes the discussion on an unnecessary tangent away from the topic at hand.
Moreover, it is intellectually dishonest to focus solely upon digging one’s heels in on the issue of slavery and not mentioning that Sen Reid applied the same analogy to women’s suffrage.
How is civil rights legislation not big government legislation? If you are really a limited government “Reagan Republican,” what are you doing supporting legislation where the federal government gets to tell private companies not to discriminate on the basis of race or sex?
For that matter, there’s nothing conservative about the federal government telling states and local governments they can’t have “separate but equal” facilities.
That’s why Goldwater opposed civil rights. Not because he was a bigot, but because he was a limited government conservative who didn’t feel it was the federal government’s place.
This is yet one more example of how poorly Harry Reid is doing his job. He in an attempt to smear the right does something that with little effort reminds people it is the left and the democrats who have the history of standing against civil rights. Gotta love it and wonder just how much of an idiot Reid really is.
While I agree with your point, the mistake is believing the liberals are intelligent, or honest, enough to realize where Harry went astray. I am sure they just nodded and went back their solitare.
I’ve lived in the southern half of the United States more than half of my life, and I am really tired of hearing the “Southerners are racist and backward” mantra and similar. It’s just not true.
The Democratic party attributes anything generally considered successful and good in history to itself without regard to who was actually doing what or if a direct analogy between the political landscapes even makes sense. The “wrong side of history” bit is a fluffy bandwagon argument. It’s really very close to that favored fictional line: “One side is going to win, and the other is going to lose. I picked the side that is going to win.”
C.S. Lewis had some interesting things to say on the subject of going along with history in The Screwtape Letters, but I don’t have my copy with me right now. It involved Screwtape discussing how humans tended to ask themselves the wrong questions when making decisions.
sort of off topic…go check out big gov dot com for a story on how the health care stategy being followed was written in prison but a felon who just happens to be married to a member of congress and who attended the same gala event the WH crashers attended….Glenn Beck is covering this in great detail tonight…
ooops but a felon…should be by a felon
Beck is making Obama cry right now! Great media happening!
I love how people treat history like some kind of mind control device to beat those you ideologically disagree with over the head with repeatedly. People like RSS come to mind. History is something that can be Wiki’ed at will so that if the stars align correctly enough, can be properly taken in and out of context when one feels the need.
History is changeable. It can be rewritten at will by those who can manipulate the truth. And then be passed down in a new, mashed form, to the next generation who cannot distinguish facts from fiction.
Reid can keep using historical revision all he wants to keep deluding the rest of us that we’re “racists” or “ignorant skeptics” but the abuse of history is always used by those whose valid arguments have already failed them. Reid is one of those people.
History has already been written and no matter who “rewrites” it, it doesn’t change the fact that Reid’s bill is just plain BAD. I don’t think it a good idea for the US to forsake it’s established health care system for the sake of the 9% who don’t have any coverage at all. I don’t see the sense or the logic in any of that.
Two questions, because I’m having trouble finding sources:
1) Whose idea was it, initially, to racially segregate the bus seating in the south?
2)Was the private industry in question, the bus industry, for or against racially segregated seating?
I’m not old enough to remember, and I do not know where to go to reliably find out such details.
For those who know less about research than me, especially those who didn’t live through a lot of this, there are more historical newspaper archives available than you may think, even through online services. Ask your local library about how to get to them!
Come on guys. Please don’t feed the Trolls or accept their circular logic.
It’s not in this case what Asshole Harry didn’t say. It’s what he implied. He implied that Conservatives and Republicans are as bad as historical Democrats which is a pretty pukey thing to say in mixed company.
Again as a side note;, many of these trolls seem to have the time to haunt various threads thru the whole day, I wonder how many are unemployed SEIU members, or maybe just middle schoolers in their Mother’s basement showing off their attempts at new language skills.
Reid is either dumb as a fence post or a blantant liar. The problem in America today is that too many people don’t know their history, so it is easy for the Reids of the political scene to rewrite history. I would wager that over 75 percent of the people who heard Reid’s speech probably accept it as truth based on their ignorance. We live in a pathetically dumbed-down society which makes it difficult for honest, moral politicians with America-first attitudes to succeed. I am beginning to believe that liberal democrats don’t want schools to improve….they cynically understand that stupid people entering the voting force is what keeps them in power….
This moron is a total disgrace to the american citizen and a total embarassment to the citizens of Nevada!
“Cry ra-a-a-a-acist, and let slip the dogs of ACORN!” (With apologies to the Bard.)
The Republican Party’s record on civil rights is much better than that of the Democrats, RSS. The Republicans want people to stand on their own after getting enough help to get there. The Democrats want people to remain dependent on government largesse (i.e. my tax money.) The Republicans believe that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms from being infringed by the Federal Government. The Democrats, despite their protestations that they support the Second Amendment, believe that the right to keep and bear arms is something that causes crime amongst the dependent class that they want to keep dependent.
The Democrats view of civil rights seems to be, “If we want you to have civil rights, we’ll give them to you.”

The donks were the party of slavery before and during the Civil War (i.e., “Copperheads”), they were the party that missed slavery after the war was over (i.e., the Ku Klux Klan), and they’re the party of slavery today — the only difference is, instead of just blacks now they want to enslave us all.
Formerly? Jog my memeory here, what anti-civil rights legislation has the modern GOP been sponsoring?
Yeah, the modern GOP is just dominated by Goldwaterites! What color is the sky in your world?
California was Republican right up through the 1980′s. States do change their prefered party over time.
The South only changed to the GOP in the 1980′s, so if you think they were reacting to the CRA then they must have really slow reaction times.
That’s funny, in your prior comments you were using Goldwater as the poster boy for racism. Now you notice that people could oppose the CRA for non-racist reasons?
I have a hard time imagining you shedding light on anything.
The implication here is that this all changed in the late sixties/early seventies.
The reality is that the South remained a Democrat stronghold for twenty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

Must be right embarrassing for the Dhimmicrats to have to claim that Clinton guy as one of their own. Damn goober.
Democrats need to explain their KKK past, their Jim Crow Laws, and finally their filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, led by none other than the Democrats Majority leader, Sen KKK Byrd.
Someone needs to read history.
Ahh common, you didn’t think Abe Lincoln formed up the KKK did you? Naw, the KKK was the Democrats terror and intimidation wing for near a 100 years. Sort of like the Palestinians and their terrorist wing today.
Harry — Silly you.
We seem to be in denial. Pretending that these people aren’t accomplishing exactly what they wish. They’ve been incrementally encroaching on the heart of our Constitution and other Founding Documents for 3 generations now.
They think they have an opportunity. If we don’t stand up and fight they are right.
The opportunity in their grasp is something that would be foolish to ignore no matter to whom it was presented.
They have been handed, (We have allowed them to take advantage of) The minds of and education of the next generations of our Children.
I’m involved with 30 year olds that have been taught to hate America and Capitalism. We paid their teachers to teach them that.
There isn’t enough room here to express the fear we should feel for our Republic.
just as with all the democrat platitudes these days, they are just factually crap. democrats represent the rich today, not republicans. democrats stifle free speech, not defend it. democrats are the racists which keep blacks in perpetual poverty and squalor through welfare designed to promote voter growth rather than monetary growth for it’s recipients. now that same party seeks a new slave group in latinos, but do you see them proposing developement of the people or just increasing the numbers of poor voters. i’ll take the record of the mean heartless conservatives over the compassionate and egalitarian communist anyday.
xler, thanks. These people have been smearing good people for decades, even centuries. Similar to what Nero did with the Christians in 64AD.
Ironic that the Dems won the votes of Blacks by re-enslaving them, destroying their families and now taking away their chance to get ahead by eliminating school vouchers. Hey, they suck! Nuf said!
“Intellectually dishonest” in a defense of Harry Reid’s remark is just that.

Just who does he think is going to change their mind by calling them racist? Black people who support Obama and his policies 98%-2%??? What a joke. This is really why I could never be a politician; I don’t have the capacity to be that disingenuous and offensive, and keep a straight face. Hey pencil neck little Harry, take your head out of your ….. and realize that your party is going downnnnnnnnnnn in 2010.
I would expect them to be outraged, but then, I thought Murtha would lose his seat after saying his own constituents were racist, and he’s still collecting tax dollars.
I would like to see a blogger (hint Michelle) put together a story showing politicians like Murtha, Reid, et. al., and how their polling prior to an election correlates to the amount of illegal activity in their district by ACORN. It might suggest why they have no problem smearing their constituents.
Oh and, I guess I’m a racist.

I am sure that Harry was equally outraged when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
300 million Americans and this is the best qualfied person we can find to lead the U.S. Senate. Let us pray.
Harry Reid is a lying scoundrel who should know that Republicans opposed slavery, helped pass the Voting Rights Act, and yet…he lies about it. And everything else. The man has no shame.
To call Harry Reid a moron is a disservice to morons everywhere. He has the IQ of an amoeba. Morons are substantially higher than that.
I just want to know how to defeat Reid & Nancy, no chronic quips or toothless rants, but a game plan to stop this green nanny monster while/if there’s a chance.
James Grrenidge
A few years ago, the Las Vegas Sun did an investigative series about how Harry Reid got cut into sweetheart real estate deals due to his Senate perch and how these questionable deals seem to be the result of who Reid knows, not from any real estate expertise. Yet the MSM will not do any follow up work. I wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And look what this has gotten Republicans…nothing but woes.
Even today, in my little corner of the South, black communities – living in squallor – in projects owned by white landlords – vote Democrat regardless of the candidate or level of government.
S’pose Obama eber heerd dis?
So, our current health care system equals slavery? Wow! Might Senator Reid also equate our school lunch program to the Holocaust? Way to diminish slavery, Senator. You have offended more people than you intended.
oh fer pete’s sake
May the good and thoughtful people of the great state of Nevada kick this clown’s a$$ out of office next November, then chase him to the western border toward where he belongs.
He is both.
And as for offending people, he doesn’t think the average American is smart enough to decipher his lies and stupid statements. We’re the unwashed masses. We stink and we’re stupid.
The people of Nevada should be so proud. /sarc off
Thanks, Pure…you started my day with a good chuckle!
Add in senile too. He’s always been loopy and now he’s joining Carter in dementia land. Nevada wake up and vote your idiot out of the Senate before he starts drooling and has to arrive in a wheelchair to vote.
Oh my gosh, I had forgotten all about his comments about being able to smell the tourists in the capitol in summertime.
Stu Varney announced this a.m. that our global credit rating is possibly going to be dropped down, which will put the final nail in our economic coffin. And still, the traitors in DC keep spending. They are stealing our country, folks and we seem to be helpless to stop any of it. Talk is cheap and besides, they ain’t listening!
I do believe a National Strike is becoming unavoidable. We need to get people on board and pick a date…some time in January maybe? A one-day sit down strike might wake a few people up.
Reid is a real piece of work… or POS… if he wants to make slavery analogies, he need look no farther than the Dem’s efforts to ensure abortion coverage is included in the healthcare package.
Who is more disenfranchised that the millions of young children murdered by Reid and his assassins. What rights do these children have. They did not force their way upon their mothers — no, their mothers entered into selfish acts to satisfy their own lusts, and their children paid for those acts with their lives. Who on this earth represents those children? Why does Reid and his ilk deny the basic right to life of children in their mothers womb?
Harry has destined himself for endless suffering in Hell for his relentless persecution of these innocents.
Harry — YOU are the slave master! YOU hold tight to the chattel in the mother’s womb. YOU destroy the gifts of God. YOU wantonly deny His creation.
May your eternal judgment reflect the condition of your heart.
Multi-tasking
See, he can do it.
Typical Liberal and democratic reaction with a few Chicago style goverment tactics thrown in.
Scream racisim at the opposition, count on your average American’s lack of historical perspective, apathy, or general willingness to do as told, and for those who don’t bow or agree send someone (Red State Skeptic, OMU, Chap, etc) to skirt the issue and start pointless debate on a non-issue that has no historical backing. And all it amounts to is petty insult that even a child could do better on.
In general the South is NOT as racist as it was and ironically it seems to be dem card carriers praticularly wealthy liberal whites who favor “cultural communities and respect” fancy word for segregation.
And call me racist if you will but in recent history members of MS-13 and various black gangs, or sorry PC correct challanged groups of Youth have caused more trouble while the KKK has ceased to exsist for the most part. Though worringly with Obama’s win monority violence has climbed by 50% in our region and now whites are for the most part self admitantly for protection have joined neo-nazi groups.
Not what MLK had in mind I would think, though Malcome X would Approve.
I know all that about the Democrats being the racist party and I also watched as the republicans stood by, with puzzled looks, as the Democrats turned the table on them. All I can recall of the republican response was something like…”I know that my good and dear friends across the isle would never ever do that to us?”
Good clean fun. Right, happy?
Just tryin’ to get certain people here to lighten on the religious issues.
The presidency of BHO has given the ignorant a green light to ravage America.
I don’t know about God, but I’ll forgive you because Carly Simon slyly revealed the song is mostly about Warren Beatty.
He might make more sense.

Very good points on which party (republicans) supported Black People and which party (democrats) oppressed them for most of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
***
As I remember it took decent republicans to pass 1960′s Civil Rights laws to give Black People–and all minorities–their rights. Not enough democrats cared about them.
***
I never heard that President Harry Truman–democrat–ever was a member of the KKK. However, he was the president who desegregated the Armed Forces by executive order in the late 1940′s. It was not popular–most Americans opposed his actions. However, he did what was right–not what was popular. He was one of the few democrats I would have voted for if I had been old enough then.

Called Senator Stabenow.
She was too busy working diligently on the healthcare bill to talk to me. Instead I discussed the shortcomings of the bill her phone receptionist. He assured me that my views would be expressed to my Senator….. yeah, I think we both knew better.
My real point of this post is to ask. What is the recourse????????? How do we answer these traitors, is there any at all besides WAITING? Every morning I wake up and see more of the bs getting shoved down our throats. I call, express my views and wake up again to the more of the same. Is there anything we can do?
Like most of the rest of the country, I only hope that the good citizens of Nevada give Harry his walking papers. One can never be certain what the voting public will do in response to anything politicians say or do, as evidenced by John Murtha retaining his seat.
WE have had the Tea Party demonstrations, we called, faxed, emailed the Senators and Congressmen, to no avail. The democrats are bent on doing the wrong thing. To top it all they avoid talking to their constituents and meaningful dialogues with their Conservative counterparts in Congress.
How about us storming the Capitol and locking them inside the halls of Congress? WE should keep them there until they wake up to the fact that we do not want Obamacare to pass. While we’re at it, they should rescind the Stimulus Bill and save the unspent balance of the pkg; kick Pelosi and Reid from their posts; tell Congress to recall Obama from Dopenhagen and make Al Gore return his Nobel Prize and Oscar accompanied with his written apology for perpetrating the scam; enact a Declaration that Islamists who harm any US citizen are terrorists and will be prosecuted under the most stringent rules of hate crime; that anyone practicing Shar’ia in the United States will be jailed, etc.
Anyone who wants to add to the list, feel free.
Misleading.
The Democrats of the 18th Century were not in favor of enslaving anyone (though it can seriously be argued that those in DC today are, but that’s a different post), and did not battle to “preserve” slavery. What they fought for was the States’ rights to decide for themselves how to handle the issue. While this did have the effect of extending slavery, it was not done in the interests of slavery, but in the interest of the preservation of States’ rights.
A little history lesson there for ya.

A little more information for the aforementioned history lesson, from my post of March 29, 2006:
I go on to say, of course, that I personally agree with the Republican postition of the day, because the rights of the slaves were being subverted, but to say the Democratic Party was “battling to preserve slavery” is simply wrong.
The quote above was taken from the Democratic Party’s 1840 platform.

Harry is behaving just like any other self destructive dysfunctional liberal. Blame it on his childhood…oh wait..
well, I guess i’m a racist, not a racist for my 1st 64 years I am becoming one as far as dealing with these left wing butt heads of any color that are out trying to create racism in America, starting with the Marxist fraudulently living in the White House.
It appears to me the left is trying their best to start another civil war over race and their doing a pretty good job of it.
Black people everywhere are grateful for this clarification…
It can easiy be argued that the current usurpations of the rights of the states and people stem directly from Lincoln’s actions. In the long run, it may have been better to let the states handle their own procedures regarding abolition.
While I do believe that the rights of the people were being violated, I am apalled at the lack of respect for the Constitution presented by both Republicans and Democrats today, and the precedent set by Lincoln allowing the federal government to dictate to the states what they will or will not do has ultimately led to what we have today: federal tyranny, or as one my readers calls it, a “two party dictatorship”.
You can argue all you want that black people needed to be freed, and I will agree with that point, BUT the way it happened opened the door to their being re-enslaved today along with the rest of the United States population, and that is unacceptable. It must be rectified – and I hoe that I am correct in my assessment that that is what the Tea Party movement is all about: reinstating the Constitution as the supreme law of the land.
