| b2ed951 | Nevertheless, in the long run the GOP succeeded. Just as the Founders' constitutional principles eventually supplied the necessary foundation for America to realize the principle that "all men are created equal," so too the GOP-sponsored amendments of the 1860s supplied the indispensable basis for blacks in the 1950s and 1960s to overcome white supremacy and actually exercise their rights. Blacks today owe their basic rights of liberty, equ.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| ce10ba9 | This is a white man's country--let the white man rule. --Official Democratic Party slogan, 1868 presidential campaign | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 0d9bdc2 | THE ORIGINAL CIVIL RIGHTS REVOLUTION Let's begin by examining the first civil rights revolution in America--the civil rights revolution of the 1860s. This was a Republican revolution, which is why progressive Democrats ignore it and pretend that the later revolution of the 1950s and 1960s is the only one. Yet of the two civil rights revolutions, the first--the ignored one--is actually more important. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7d87a20 | The very idea that people might work for those wages, and take pride in their work, is incomprehensible to Hillary. The country no longer has slaves to do the dirty work, and so America needs illegal immigrants. The applause attending Hillary's remarks shows that she was not merely speaking for herself. Other Democratic fine-diners that evening were very much on board with Hillary's position. Listening to Hillary that evening, I felt I was .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| b4df5d2 | Some of them even insisted that slavery benefited both the master and the slave, because slavery gave full employment to people who were incapable of doing anything better than menial work. And here is Hillary Clinton making essentially the same case, not in defense of slavery, but in defense of illegal immigration. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 678620d | No, what interests me most here is the familiar attitude of superiority, condescension, and disdain. That was evident in the pro-slavery blather of the nineteenth century, and it was on full display at the Mandarin Oriental in November 2014. Democrats, it seems, never change their stripes. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5eae526 | Hillary's plan, I argue in this book, is the enslavement of America. Enslavement is not slavery, but it's related to slavery. Slavery is a condition while enslavement is a process. Enslavement is the process of converting free into unfree citizens, by confiscating their earnings, their resources, and their property in the form of taxes or fines. The ultimate end is the same: our lives and even our hopes and dreams are now in someone else's .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f9875c4 | These attacks on slavery provoked the defense of slavery that formed the cornerstone of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party in the South invented the "positive good" school that argued slavery was good not only for the master but also for the slave. The champion of this school was the Democratic Senator John C. Calhoun. Northern Democrats, led by Senator Stephen Douglas, produced a subtler but no less invidious apologia for slavery: .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 9622ac0 | Democrats on the Supreme Court also forged the majority in the notorious Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery and insisted that blacks have no rights that a white man needs to respect. Democratic presidents after Jackson--from Polk to Buchanan--protected slavery from abolitionist, free soil, and Republican attack. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| d51129f | Finally, even after Lee surrendered at Appomattox, a small group of Democrats made a last-ditch attempt to save their cherished institution by assassinating Lincoln. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 4d12203 | WHITEWASHING HISTORY "Whoa!" you might say. "We've never heard this story about the Democrats. Are you making this stuff up?" Actually, no. Nothing I write in this chapter is controversial in terms of whether it happened or not. I am relying on the mainstream historians of slavery: David Brion Davis, Kenneth Stampp, Eugene Genovese, Orlando Patterson. How, then, can my arguments sound so outrageous? The reason is that progressive Democrats .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 4bb9c23 | How? They have done it in two ways. The first is to take the crimes of the Democratic Party and blame them on America. Progressives today are quick to fault "America" for slavery and a host of other outrages. America did this, America did that. As we will see in this book, America didn't do those things, the Democrats did. So the Democrats have cleverly foisted their sins on America, and then presented themselves as the messiahs offering re.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a0fed41 | First, the defenders of the Confederate cause were, almost without exception, Democrats. Coates cites many malefactors from Senator Jefferson Davis to Senator James Henry Hammond to Georgia Governor Joseph Brown. Yet while identifying these men as southerners and Confederates, Coates omits to identify them as Democrats. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| ea59422 | Moreover, the way the Jackson Democrats treated the Indians was not an aberration. Rather, it was only the beginning of a long subsequent Democratic Party history of dispossession, cruelty, bigotry, and theft. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5cbf1b0 | In all ages of the world, some have labored, and others have, without labor, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue.1 --Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Labor, 1847 | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 52a82f9 | In November 2014 Hillary Clinton made some revealing comments about illegal immigrants while receiving a "History Maker" award from the New York Historical Society at the city's Mandarin Oriental Hotel. President Obama had just issued an executive order curbing the ability of law enforcement officials to deport illegal immigrants. Obama's action circumvented the law, provoking a firestorm of criticism from many Republicans." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 8b9f0fd | Progressives like Margaret Sanger--founder of Planned Parenthood and a role model for Hillary Clinton--supported such causes as eugenics and social Darwinism. While abortion was not an issue in Sanger's day, she backed forced sterilization for "unfit" people, notably minorities. Sanger" -- | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 0fb9f01 | She intends, in other words, to relocate you to the progressive plantation. There is only one way to do this: convert all of America into a plantation. This means reducing the whole country to the miserable condition that we now see only in inner cities and on native Indian reservations. For | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 22f217d | Slavery and enslavement are two distinct, though related, things. Slavery represents a specific condition: the slave is quite literally owned by his master. Enslavement is a process: people are enslaved to the degree that they are deprived of their rights and the fruit of their labor. The ultimate endpoint of enslavement is slavery, but there are many points of serfdom and servitude in between. In this book I will show how Democrats went fr.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 86506cf | The progressive media scarcely covered the Haitian protest. Somehow the idea of Haitian black people calling out the Clintons as aid money thieves did not appeal to the grand pooh-bahs at CBS News, the New York Times, and NPR. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| b3ccf98 | Suddenly I had an epiphany: this system of larceny, corruption, and terror that I encountered firsthand in the confinement center is exactly the same system that has been adopted and perfected by modern progressivism and the Democratic Party. This | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 761d181 | DEFENDING A RAPIST What is the character of a person who becomes a sexual enabler? We get an early glimpse into this question from 1975, when Hillary Clinton defended a man, Thomas Alfred Taylor, who was accused of beating and raping a twelve-year-old girl. A virgin prior to the attack, she spent five days in a coma, several months recovering from her injuries, and years in therapy. Even people who are accused of heinous crimes deserve crim.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 380748d | In the political realm, Republicans could never get away with what Bill Clinton did. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was widely castigated within his party for having a love affair with a woman from Argentina. Sanford, unlike Clinton, wasn't just exercising his sex organs; he was genuinely smitten by the woman. The affair was consensual, and the two of them got engaged, although they subsequently parted ways and never married. Republic.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 049cd33 | Let's explore this by considering two related themes that arise from the same Christian root. The first is Paul's statement above. Here Paul in a single phrase repudiates an entire tradition of classical philosophy founded in Plato. For Plato, the problem of evil is a problem of knowledge. People do wrong because they do not know what is right. If they knew what was right, obviously, they would do it. But Paul denies that this is so. His cl.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 658f366 | Republicans proposed women's suffrage as early as 1878, but it was voted down by a Democrat-controlled Congress. Republicans | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a04a8e4 | Far from championing the cause of women, blacks, and other minorities, Democrats have historically brutalized, segregated, exploited, and murdered the most vulnerable members of our society. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 8dafdfb | Jackson established the Democratic Party as the party of theft. He mastered the art of stealing land from the Indians and then selling it at giveaway prices to white settlers. Jackson | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 48b6526 | Democrats offered blacks some of the same security that blacks had during slavery--in which the basic needs of blacks were met on the plantation--and blacks, during a desperate time, went for it. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 662f5cb | Liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas admits that she "doesn't have a single memorable policy or legislative accomplishment to her name." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7c441d5 | Thus the rigid North-South interpretation of the Civil War conceals--and is intended to conceal--the active complicity of Democrats across the country to save, protect, and even extend the "peculiar institution." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 52f9a6c | Jordan--Jimmy Carter's chief of staff. Jordan said the Clintons "are not a couple but a business partnership." Every" | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f505432 | The real divide was between the Democratic Party as the upholder of slavery and the Republican Party as the adversary of slavery. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 692137b | for Alinsky, democratic politics is basically a mechanism of legal extortion, justified by appeals to justice and equality. A | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5ae0f22 | All the figures who upheld and defended American slavery--Senators John C. Calhoun and Stephen Douglas, President James Buchanan, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, architect of the Dred Scott decision, and the main leaders of the Confederacy--were Democrats. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7f8f827 | All the heroes of black emancipation--from the black abolitionists Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass, to the woman who organized the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman, to the leader whose actions finally destroyed American slavery, Abraham Lincoln--were Republicans. It is of the utmost importance to progressive propagandists to conceal or at least ignore this essential historical truth. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 32d1062 | In the progressive narrative, America is to blame, and the first offenders were the Founders themselves. The progressive conclusion is that the founding was "defective," setting up the progressive agenda to replace and move away from founding principles, what Obama called the "remaking" of America." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| c7a8caa | Beware how you take hope from another human being. | Max Allan Collins | ||
| 5cb0ea6 | It may seem heretical to link the three great progressive champions of the twentieth century--Wilson, FDR, and Johnson--with racism. But the indisputable fact is that all three were either racist themselves or made their peace with racism. Progressive historiography has had to work overtime to conceal the actual facts. There | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| fc0fbd2 | At some point, whether it be Jimmy Carter in 1980 or Obama in 2008, the Democratic Party lost its moorings and became radicalized. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| be2a122 | Katznelson shows how the Nazis were aware of, and excited about, bigotry across the Atlantic that they believed paralleled and reinforced their own bigotry. Even so, notice how just as Whitman blames "America," Katznelson blames "the South." Never does either of them once say, "the Democrats." No fingers of blame ever identify "the progressives." Never do they point to "the Left." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f9aa8e6 | American era is ending in part because a powerful group of Americans wants it to end. The American dream is shrinking because some of our leaders want it to shrink. Decline, in other words, has become a policy objective. And if this decline continues at the current pace, America as we know it will cease to exist. In effect, we will have committed national suicide. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 08d6d90 | Corruption in American politics is hardly new, of course, but previously, for the most part, it was conducted mainly on the local level. It was also conducted by Democrats. There were exceptions, of course, especially during Reconstruction, and in the administration of President Grant, and in the Teapot Dome scandal of the Harding administration. But generally, when we think of political corruption, we think of the Democratic Party machines.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| bed7ba9 | Most recently, in order to quell dissent, the progressives are implementing a chilling policy of national surveillance and selective prosecution--using the power of the police to harass and subdue their opposition. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 64bcdae | Progressives have a whole cultural contingent--Hollywood, the mainline media, the elite universities, even professional comedians--to peddle their propaganda. From the television show Madame Secretary to the front page of the New York Times to nightly quips by Stephen Colbert, the progressive bilge comes at us continually and relentlessly. | Dinesh D'Souza |
