| 03be585 | So successful were the Democrats in this con that in 2005 a head of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, went around apologizing to black groups for sins that had actually been committed, not by the Republicans, but by the Democrats. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 10f5e1f | Around the same time, however, and beaten by the fascists by only a hair, a closely related ideology developed in America that also called for a powerful centralized state. That ideology was, of course, progressivism. The fascists, like the progressives, sought a radical transformation of society that is the very antithesis of classical liberalism or modern American conservatism. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| ca85344 | How did the South become so uniformly Democratic? Basically the Democrats used racist ideas and practices to establish a lasting political hegemony there. So racism wasn't incidental; it was an essential part of the Democratic Party's strategy. The Democrats won the South by appealing not just to the former planter class but also to poor whites. How did they do this? The great postbellum invention of the Democratic Party was the institution.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 80b7257 | Although today's American Left dares not invoke Mussolini's name, the honest among them will have to admit that it was he and his fellow fascists who were their pioneers and paved their way. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 4376040 | The institutions of black enslavement and white supremacy did not exist before Democrats in the South created them. The very same institutions then became the mechanisms that Democrats used to build their power, and also to repel and defeat attempts by Republicans to extend rights and opportunities to black Americans. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a5bb4b6 | A RACIAL CASTE SYSTEM Here we see beautifully enumerated the social and psychological benefits that poor whites derived from white supremacy. White supremacy created a racial caste system in which the poorest, meanest, and stupidest white guy belonged to an aristocracy of color that elevated him above the most intelligent, decent, and productive black man. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 832bd29 | Precisely the same benefit that the British government offered to its white expatriates, the Democratic Party in the United States offered to its poor white supporters. From the 1870s through the 1960s, the Democrats established their political hegemony in the South by granting whites the full social and psychological enjoyments of white supremacy. Blacks paid a costly price for this, because the Democrats unleashed a fury of violence again.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| d58e5e2 | The central issue, therefore, is which is the party of racism and which is the party of civil rights? This question cannot be answered simply by invoking the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. That movement was itself parasitic on an earlier civil rights movement that took place a century earlier. Didn't know there were two civil rights movements? That's because the progressives don't say much about it. They focus on the later mo.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 40b83a9 | WHERE THESE RIGHTS COME FROM Yet what was the constitutional basis for these actions? Desegregation and anti-discrimination laws both relied on the notion that blacks weren't slaves any longer; rather, they were free and could make their own choices. This freedom, however, had been secured for blacks by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution which permanently abolished slavery. Thus, the Thirteenth Amendment was the original freedom c.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 1aaa979 | The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments were passed in the aftermath of the Civil War. They were passed by the Republican Party. The Republicans enacted these measures then to secure the freedom, equality, and social justice that Democrats keep harping on today. To further promote these goals, Republicans also implemented a series of Civil Rights laws: the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Act of 1867, and the Ku Klu.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 34a67e1 | When even one American--who has done nothing wrong--is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth--then all Americans are in peril." Harry S. Truman, thirty-third President of the United States of America. Served 1945-1953." | Max Allan Collins | ||
| a7dca21 | The Republican ethos underlying these landmark provisions was aptly framed by the great abolitionist Republican, Frederick Douglass. Douglass said, "It is evident that white and black must fall or flourish together. In light of this great truth, laws ought to be enacted, and institutions established--all distinctions, founded on complexion, and every right, privilege and immunity, now enjoyed by the white man, ought to be as freely granted .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| fb1a375 | Notice that the GOP program--articulated by Douglass and affirmed by black leaders--is none other than the color-blind ideal outlined in Martin Luther King's famous "dream." King envisioned a society in which we are judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin. This is substantially what Douglass and other black Republicans called for, more than a century earlier." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7b40650 | How interesting that the Democrat, Martin Luther King, is identified with a principle that the Republican, Frederick Douglass, expressed even more eloquently so much earlier. How bizarre that the Democrats are presumed to be the party of civil rights when the very content of civil rights was formulated and developed by the GOP. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| cec4875 | Very few young people know this history. Most of them haven't even heard about Douglass; who hasn't heard of Martin Luther King? Am I suggesting that the scandalous neglect of Douglass and the excessive praise heaped on King is part of the progressive whitewash? You bet I am. But, say the Democratic and progressive historians, wait a minute! While King's program moved forward and was enacted into law, Douglass's program was halted in its tr.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 8d856d5 | This part of the story is true enough. What the storytellers omit, however, is that the Democrats are the ones who caused the backlash! They are the ones who from the beginning opposed black freedom and black equality, undermining voting rights and equal treatment under the law. They were the true enemies of racial and social justice. Moreover, the Democrats did those things not just through political and legal measures but also through dom.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 9588f90 | Consequently, it was Democrats who, from the 1860s through the 1960s, prevented blacks as a group from enjoying their rights through political opposition and violent acts of terror. Democrats now claim credit for allowing blacks to have the civil rights that they themselves violently prevented for a hundred years. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| b138f9c | BLAMING THE SOUTH Today's Democrats try to shift blame from themselves by blaming "the South." The South is supposedly responsible for espousing racist views and implementing racist practices. Yet the detractors of the South neglect to point out that after Reconstruction, the Democratic Party was the dominant, almost the sole, political party in the South." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 4cfd508 | One prominent Democrat, South Carolina governor (and later senator) Ben Tillman, explained how this came about. "Republicanism means Negro equality, while the Democratic Party means that the white man is superior. That's why we Southerners are all Democrats."4" | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| e1b01a3 | Forced sterilization and euthanasia aimed at eliminating racial "defectives" and producing a "superior" Nordic race were two additional schemes the Nazis got from American progressives." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| ca5eda4 | JFK toured Nazi Germany in the 1930s and came back effusive with praise of Hitler and his theory of Nordic superiority. "I have come to the conclusion," JFK wrote in his diary, "that fascism is right for Germany and Italy." Touring the Rhineland, JFK echoed Nazi propaganda at the time. "The Nordic races appear to be definitely superior to the Romans." Hostility toward Hitler, JFK insisted, stems largely from jealousy. "The Germans really ar.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 9b14755 | When possession is legitimized by force, where does the issue of theft arise? I'm | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| d6ad991 | Buffett has become the entrepreneur whom progressives endlessly flatter, because he flatters their prejudices and | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 37c1469 | in the politics of the Democratic Party, race trumps gender. Blacks | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 9884aa2 | For nearly a century following the Civil War, the Republican Party made valiant efforts, often against near-impossible odds, to protect blacks from the Democratic onslaught and to secure their basic rights. At times these measures worked; at other times, they proved far too feeble to control the vicious racists in the Democratic Party. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 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 |
