This is how silly Democrats are getting….yes, I know, Democrats are always silly
(ctpost) Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are history in Connecticut.
Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.
Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s fatal shooting of nine worshipers at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C.
The decision is believed to be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly named events to follow suit.
No word if Democrats are going to demand that everything that bears the name of Robert Byrd, a Democratic icon who was a high ranking member in the KKK, be changed.
Balletto said blacks and Native Americans are a major constituency of the Democratic Party.
“When something offends someone, it’s beyond being politically correct,†Balletto said.
“It just causes a need for change.â€
When will Democrats change the name of their political Party? It’s offensive. It is steeped in a history of racism, segregation, the KKK, bigotry, and Jim Crow. It’s a party that likes to keep blacks in modern day plantations of despair, like Detroit, Baltimore, and Birmingham, all while patronizing them, treating them simply as a voting block rather than people, and thinking that Blacks are “theirs”. Democrats need to change their name.
Crossed at Right Wing News.
They are changing the name of one fund raising dinner.
And YES Teach the history of the Democratic Party has much to be ashamed of. And even the MODERN Democratic Party is less than perfect.
BUT it still is the majority party here in the USA. The Republican Party is rapidly turning into a joke. Look at who your “base” now supports. Look at the most recent Pew poll numbers where the GOP Party has a 33% approval rating
Look at the approval ratings of the GOP Congress 16%
Americans have reached a tipping point no longer will things like the flag of the traitors who fought to destroy the United States of America be allowed to be displayed with people voicing their opinions of those who worship its racist past
AS far as “keeping them in modern day plantations of despair…..”
please note that they FLED their from worse places. Please also note Obama’s recent initiatives to help them move out of the cities and into areas where previously poor blacks were excluded. Please note also this was widely opposed by the GOP
Dems are NOT perfect but members of minorities like blacks and Jews have long chosen that party to best represent and protect them.
If there was something better I am sure that they would change parties.
@joh
such wisdom in what you say. The GOP is a joke. They have fallen off the edge….they have become besides themselves with all the insane shennanigans the left is perpetrating on this country.
It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
Vladimir Lenin
The Left is carefully rationing liberty. Whenever possible it tries desperately to remove liberty be it one small piece at a time.
The right has become desperate as they flail away at the war that is almost lost as they are suddenly waking from a deep slumber to realize that the left has taken over.
1. Schools.
2. Union.
3. Magazines
4. Newspapers
5. Film.
6. Hollywood.
7. The Religious Debate.
8. Abortion Debate.
9. Race Debate.
As the right awakens they are in a state of panic, confusion and have totally become an irrational group who does not know how to swat all these killer bees flying around the country.
The right is a mess…I will totally agree. The Cloward and Piven strategy pulled on the USA and the GOP has been nothing short of sensational…..The use of Saul Alinsky tactics in every debate has kept the Right on its heels and at a loss for how to deal with what the left is throwing at them.
Simply look at Obama…….he creates one crisis after another and then after about another week moves on to the next crisis and the next and the next and the next……..
NOTHING has been solved under this president….he simply keeps the opposition swatting a 1000 flies, beating a 1000 brush fires and never solving anything…..
The GOP is incapable of coming to gether to solve anything…..
1. Fast and Furious
2. IRS
3. VA
4. Benghazi
5. ACA
6. Beer Summit
7. Race baiting with several incidents.
8. No Budget
9. Humongous debt
……….the point is the list is endless and never a conclusion is reached….a solution offered….a fix initiated we simply go on to the next and the next and the next.
As Saul Alinsky says……….
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.†Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
They have done an awesome job and the GOP still has not come to grips to what is happening to them…..
Meanwhile the left continues to take one more liberty away from us…one piece at a time…….
