Inconvenient Truths 1

This should tell you all you need to know about the current state of the Democrat party.  Quote: "Patriotism took a back seat to racial grievances last night at the Democratic National Convention, as no American flags were visibly present at an event dedicated to picking a political leader for the United States of America.  Alex Pfeifer of the Daily Caller was among those who noticed: The Daily Caller is at the Democratic National Convention and it doesn’t look like there are any American flags. The stage is bland and grey, with no red, white or blue present. A thorough look at the crowd present also turns up no American flags."     http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/07/no_american_flags_visible_at_dnc_on_day_1.html

Now that the conventions are over and the campaign begins, it is time to consider the alternatives.    http://townhall.com/columnists/markdavis/2016/07/29/time-for-postconvention-clarity-n2199657?

Some inconvenient truths about blacks and slavery in the United States.  Both blacks and liberals have long ignored these truths. Quote: "One glaringly inconvenient truth that, odds are, few folks of any race are aware is that the very first legal slave owner in America was one Anthony Johnson—a black man. More specifically, Johnson was an Angolan who himself had been an indentured servant in the colony of Virginia before he became a tobacco planter himself. One of the African indentured servants who worked Johnson’s 300 acre plot of land was John Casor."   And, "Relative to their numbers in the population (27 million according to the 1860 census), a miniscule number of whites owned slaves. Eight million whites lived in the South, but of these, fewer than 325,000 owned slaves. What this means is that only 1.4 percent of the total white population consisted of slave owners, and only 4.8 percent of the white Southern population did so. In glaring contrast, in this same year, there were 4.5 million blacks living in America, and 500,000 blacks in the South. Over half of these—261, 988—were freed men. In the city of New Orleans alone, more than 3,000 blacks owned slaves. That is, 28 percent of the free black population consisted of slave holders.  In 1830, the Census Bureau notes that free blacks owned more than 10,000 slaves in the states of Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. As Halloway remarks, “Large numbers of free Blacks owned black slaves in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society."  And, "In his Black Rednecks, White Liberals, in a chapter titled, “The Real History of Slavery,” Sowell’s commentary on the brutality of Arabic Muslims’ treatment of African slaves is particularly difficult to digest. Muslims, he says, “marched vast numbers of human beings from their homes [in Africa] where they had been captured to the places where they would be sold, hundreds of miles away, often spending months crossing the burning sands of the Sahara.”     http://townhall.com/columnists/jackkerwick/2016/07/21/racially-incorrect-facts-regarding-race-and-slavery-n2195701?

Recently, our racial divider in chief held a faux "conversation" about race.  Here is an assessment.  Quote: "On Thursday, July 14, Barack Obama held a nationally televised “town hall” meeting on American race relations—and, unsurprisingly, punted on that “honest” discussion of race that he and his ilk accuse the rest of us of deferring."    For starters here are some things omitted.  "A truly honest discussion of race, you see, threatens the Racism-Industrial-Complex (RIC) or, alternately, Big Racism.  A truly honest discussion of race would mention that for virtually every kind of crime, blacks are perpetrators in numbers wildly out of proportion to their number in the national population. For instance, young black males constitute no more than one to three percent of all Americans, yet they are responsible for over 50 percent of all murders. A truly honest discussion of race would mention that police officers generally are more likely to shoot unarmed white suspects than blacks, while black and Hispanic officers are more likely than their white counterparts to shoot unarmed black suspects.  A truly honest discussion of race would mention that blacks shoot police officers at an astronomically higher rate than that at which officers have shot black suspects."  There are more but you get the idea.  The piece ends on this note: "When Barack Obama and his ilk are ready to face these (and more) challenges to Big Racism’s monopoly on the public’s collective consciousness, then perhaps we have a truly honest discussion of race."    http://townhall.com/columnists/jackkerwick/2016/07/22/racially-incorrect-facts-a-truly-honest-discussion-of-race-n2196401?  

This black commentator outlines the falsehoods the Democratic party hides or lies about.  Quote: "Why has the Democratic Party cultivated this legacy of death and historically attracted racists, eugenicists, genocidal maniacs and warmongers? I have no answer to that question, but I do know this: The Democratic Party has now been entirely co-opted by those dedicated to completely dismantling both our system of government and the rule of law. With regard to the First Amendment protections behind which these swine have cowered for so long, I defer to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s defense of his call for moratoria on Muslim immigration; this being that the Constitution does not grant America “the right to commit suicide.”

Radical left gets more radical.  Check out these Democrat party platform items. Quote: ") Because of the diverse audience we attract, there are a lot of Natural News readers who are still supporting the Democrats. If you're one of those people, it's time for you to question what you're really supporting because you may not be aware that the democratic party openly supports fracking, Monsanto, vaccine mandates, chemical agriculture and the TPP. On top of that, they're mostly opposed to GMO labeling, too. Only Sen. Sanders really stood up to the biotech industry on that point, and now after the DNC email leaks, you know how the democrat establishment hosed Sanders with a vindictive smear campaign to destroy his chances of winning the nomination.  The truth is, the Democrat party is not a party of progressive ideas. Even the progressive news website Common Dreams has authored this piece blasting the DNC for its betrayals.  Wake up, America! Today's Democrat party is a party that is beholden to corporate interests and government totalitarianism. On top of that, Hillary Clinton is not just a war criminal but an environmental criminal, collecting over a hundred million dollars in "donations" so that international billionaires could rape and pillage the land by clear cutting rainforests or mining for uranium to produce nuclear weapons."  And., "We can't let that happen, folks! We have to stop Hillary and the DNC. On all these issues we care about -- vaccines, GMOs, fracking, pesticides, etc. -- Trump can at least be reasoned with. Clinton, on the other hand, has already sold out to the globalists at every level. (It's truly criminal.)  Watch this Clinton Cash documentary to learn more. You MUST get informed!"      http://www.naturalnews.com/054786_fracking_democratic_party_official_platform.html

This is another example of Hillary's total lack of common sense and ethics.  She shilled for the terrorist group Boko Haram for two years all the while knowing it was a terrorist organization.  See why she did so.  Quote: "Why did Hillary Clinton's State Department drag its feet on the terror designation in the face of near unanimous opposition from the rest of the U.S. government?  A recent series of reports exposes that a close Clinton family confidante -- and Hillary campaign bundler -- who profited from Nigeria's lucrative oil fields. He engaged in multiple illegal deals throughout Africa.  Also, other donors to the Clinton Global Initiative are deeply involved in Nigeria's corrupt oil industry.  Were they the motivation behind Hillary's inexplicable position on Boko Haram?  As PJ Media's Bridget Johnson has previously asked, is Boko Haram Hillary Clinton's biggest scandal? Hillary Clinton is set to accept the Democratic Party nomination for president of the United States. Why is no one in the media talking about Hillary and Boko Haram?"    Do you trust her to care for America's interest over her own?  I don't.  Her history of satisfying self interests are legion.     https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2016/07/28/hillary-clinton-obstructed-boko-haram-terror-designation-over-cia-doj-objections-as-clinton-allies-cashed-in/
