If you want some Civil War truth you will find it here.  Quote: "Before history became politicized, historians understood that the North intended for the South to bear costs of the North’s development of industry and manufacturing. The agricultural South preferred the lower priced goods from England. The South understood that a tariff on British goods would push import prices above the high northern prices and lower the South’s living standards in the interest of raising living standards in the North. The conflict was entirely economic and had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery, which also had existed in the North. Indeed, some northern states had “exclusion ordinances” and anti-immigration provisions in their state constitutions that prohibited the immigration of blacks into northern states."  And,  "In America there is nothing on the horizon but hate. Everywhere you look in America you see nothing but hate. Putin is hated. Russia is hated. Muslims are hated. Venezuela is hated. Assad is hated. Iran is hated. Julian Assange is hated. Edward Snowden is hated. White heterosexual males are hated. Confederate monuments are hated. Truth-tellers are hated. “Conspiracy theorists” are hated. No one escapes being hated. Hate groups are proliferating, especially on the liberal/progressive/left. For example, RootsAction has discovered a statue of Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol and urges all good people to demand its removal. Whether the level of ignorance that RootsAction personifies is real or just a fund-raising ploy, I do not know. But clearly RootsAction is relying on public ignorance in order to get the response that they want. In former times when the US had an educated population, everyone understood that there was a great effort to reconcile the North and South and that reconciliation would not come from the kind of hate-mongering that now infects RootsAction and most of the action groups and websites of the liberal/progressive/left."     http://slavenorth.com/exclusion.htm 

This piece will make Democrats angry and vociferously deny its truth. If you believe their own self promoting propaganda, they are clean as a whistle, have no hate and are filled with love and tolerance for everybody. But, that is one great big lie. The information provided in this link is the truth and nothing but the truth.  Quote: "Antifa is the Democrat party's new version of the Ku Klux Klan.  It was the Democrat party that founded and used the Klan to do its dirty work from its inception in the 1920s.  They now have as their new creature of violence in the form of Antifa.  This is just one element of the Democrat party's sordid racist past." And, "Recall that infamous Democratic Convention of 1924 in Madison Square Garden smack in the middle of New York City? Known to history as “the Klan Bake”? The Democratic Platform produced by those 1924 Democratic Delegates began this way:  We, the representatives of the democratic party, in national convention assembled, pay our profound homage to the memory of Woodrow Wilson. Our hearts are filled with gratitude that American democracy should have produced this man, whose spirit and influence will live on through the ages; and that it was our privilege to have co-operated with him in the advancement of ideals of government which will serve as an example and inspiration for this and future generations. We affirm our abiding faith in those ideals and pledge ourselves to take up the standard which he bore and to strive for the full triumph of the principles of democracy to which he dedicated his life.  Unmentioned? That Woodrow Wilson was a world class racist who, upon taking office, went about segregating the American military and show-casing at the White House a showing of Birth of a Nation, the infamous film celebrating the Ku Klux Klan. That very same convention — heavily populated by delegates who were Klan members — rejected a party platform plank that condemned the Klan. To celebrate, history records that tens of thousands of hooded, torch-bearing Klan members gathered across the Hudson River in a New Jersey field to celebrate."    https://spectator.org/antifa-the-new-ku-klux-klan/?    How can anyone respect or hold the Democrat party in high regard???  Because of their unbounded and irrational hatred of Trump the left is coming unglued, unhinged and maybe even insane.  These leftists think Trump engineered the hurricanes to eliminate blacks and Hispanics.  Quote: "Leftists on social media are taking their intense hatred of Donald Trump to a whole new level, accusing the president of manufacturing hurricanes as part of a devious plot to wipe out Hispanic and black Americans."    http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/racist-trump-accused-of-creating-hurricanes-to-kill-blacks-hispanics/    If the Democrat leadership such as it is does not start behaving rationally and lead their supporters to a more sane place things could get really bad.  But the true history of the political left suggests that what is going on is just fine with them.

This item says the appearance of fascism in the United States is accelerating with the censorship partnerships emerging between internet sites and government.  Quote: "Rockwell, in the interview, dates the beginnings of the United States “fascist regime” to the Woodrow Wilson administration during World War I and further argues that that fascist regime became permanent during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration with the partnership of businesses and the government under the New Deal. “It seems to me,” says Rockwell, that fascism, which he calls a “disastrous, evil philosophy,” has “reached new levels in recent years” with “the fascist state erecting a public-private partnership for the police state.”  And, "If, in response to the internet crackdown, “everybody else calms down, shuts up, doesn’t say anything politically incorrect, is very careful to abide by” what they are told to do, then Rockwell suggests the crackdown will be a success.  Rockwell also warns that the reach of the websites purge may, with time, expand much further."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/31/lew-rockwell-us-fascism-behind-websites-purge/

Trump is under the gun for a whole bunch of made up foolishness by the political left.  The fact is that the leadership and membership of both political parties have committed unethical, illegal and even treasonous acts throughout our history.  Little to no punishment has been visited upon most of the violators.  Democrats, therefore, need to cool their hills and acknowledge that truth.  This link reviews just one such sin committed by Democrat Bill Clinton while president. And, yet he is a liberal Democrat icon. There is no doubt that what he did far and away exceeds anything Trump has been accused of doing.  Clinton skated (for actual crimes) and Trump is getting relentlessly punched in the mouth by Democrats (for nothing).  Quote: "This may be the greatest scandal in 50 years of American history.  It makes Watergate look like a jay walking charge. It makes the Iran Contra affair look like a small time operation. This is what House Republicans should have Impeached Bill Clinton for instead of lying about a White House Intern giving him head in the Oval Office. It’s called treason."  And, "President Clinton went to great lengths to satisfy political debts. Of this there is no doubt. As Governor of Arkansas he saw to it that cash donors to his political campaign were given special consideration and awarded with lucrative contracts, and that same pattern stayed with him throughout his entire political career and beyond."  And, "That Russia was involved in nuclear proliferation to our enemies was a national security failure of monstrous proportions. That a United States President would willfully and knowingly sell, trade, or supply nuclear weapons technology to our oldest adversary is one of the greatest crimes committed against the people he is sworn to protect. It gets worse. Clinton was aware that Russia had been supplying highly sensitive technology and materials to our enemy, the Iranians."  And, "Under tremendous pressure from Congress, Clinton banned U.S. space industry from using Chinese rockets to launch their satellites. The ban didn’t last long and in October 1994, Clinton lifted the ban. Despite reports that China had continued to sell nuclear technology to Pakistan and missiles to Iran, Clinton signed waivers for four U.S. satellites to be launched by Chinese rockets. Clinton did this over strong objections from the State and Defense Departments. Johnny Chung and Loral’s Schwartz donated another $100,000 each to Clinton. The fact that Clinton personally issued the waivers to allow shipments of U.S. technology that greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of Communist China’s missiles is grounds for impeachment, regardless of whether or not there was any quid pro quo for those decisions. President Bill Clinton did more to damage U.S. national security than anyone else in American history. He is a traitor to our interests and he is guilty of espionage. He should have been arrested, impeached and convicted. The question is, how did this story escape mass media attention?"    http://stonezone.com/article.php?    Will the unsavory leaders of today's Democrat party ever admit their party's role in giving Bill Clinton a pass for his commission of both high crimes and treason?   Not on your life!!!  He deserved impeachment and should be serving a very long time in jail.  Today's crop of unrepentant and unethical Democrats definitely have no corner on righteousness in governance or anything else and they need to stop acting like they are God's gift to mankind. 

This is an example of the kind of people the Democrats hang out with and take advice from.  No wonder they have been charged by some as being a criminal enterprise.   http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/obamacare-architect-fired-for-fraud/   Worse yet the Democrat and political left's goal increasingly seems to be to topple the United States as a Constitutional Republic.  That can be confirmed by listening to the chants of Antifa thugs who serve as their violence enforcers and partners in crime. Consider the words in this chant : "No Trump, no wall, no USA at all!"  As of this writing no firm denials or rebukes have yet come forth from Democrat party leadership which seems to affirm their collective intent.  The Democrat party and their mainstream media propaganda arm at least at leadership levels seem intent on destroying our country.  Just look around at the mayhem they have caused and are causing, sponsoring or condoning.  Fake news, civil discord and hate speech serve no good purpose.  What good do they expect to come from such horrible antics???   While on the topic of the decency and ethics of Democrats.  This piece fits right in.  Quote: "The left has upped the stakes in its guerilla operations against Republicans, as deep-pocketed groups fund protesters to show up to the offices and even houses of congressmen to protest their lack of "town hall" meetings. Earlier this month, protesters targeted the home of Rep. Jason Lewis, a newly elected Republican in Minnesota's 2nd District. The protests on his doorstep grew big enough that one of his neighbors called the police. "Fortunately my family wasn't home at the time,” Lewis told Fox News. “I ran for Congress, but my family didn't run ... so to bring them into it I think is not in keeping with the best of American tradition." Protesters also have shown up at the homes of other Republican lawmakers in swing districts such as Rep. John Faso, R-N.Y., and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Some 200 protesters showed up at Issa's home to blast him for not holding town hall meetings, leading his spokesman to say: “Dragging the congressman’s wife and family into this goes beyond the pale.”    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/24/well-oiled-activist-ops-targeting-gop-reps-at-their-homes-hijacking-town-halls.html   Aren't intimidation tactics what the mafia does and what Nazis and fascist did in Germany and Italy in the 1920s and '30s?   I am really confused by actions such as these by members of the loving and oh so "tolerant" political left.    http://www.dailywire.com/news/20358/party-tolerance-leftists-beat-father-and-son-amanda-prestigiacomo?  Another example of "stellar" members of the Democrat party.    http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/wasserman-schultz-hangs-with-lobbyist-who-threatened-assanges-life/

Don't forget Democrat Senator Menendez who is on trial for 12 counts of corruption. Quote: ""Instead of distancing themselves from Bob Menendez after his indictment on bribery charges, his Democrat colleagues have stood behind him, even accepting tainted campaign cash from the disgraced Senator," Bob Salera, the deputy communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told the Washington Free Beacon. "If Senate Democrats don’t return Menendez’s donations, voters should take their inaction as a tacit endorsement of his corruption."    http://freebeacon.com/politics/top-dems-took-campaign-cash-senator-trial-corruption/?
