History of the Democratic Party vis-à-vis The Republican Party, A Letter to My College Roommate

POSTING ON FACEBOOK BY MY COLLEGE ROOMMATE

“Let's rename the Democratic party the Progressive party, and the Republican party the Regressive party.”

Dear Bob:

Let’s review the facts of your Democratic Party:

1789-1865: Nickname of the Democratic Party, THE SLAVE PARTY

1861-1865: Majority of the Democratic Party engages in open rebellion and therefore treason against the United States. 

The Republican Party supports preserving the union and fights the insurrection and wins the American Civil War.

1864 Election: Republican Abraham Lincoln wins re-election and proposes and gains the passage of the 13^th amendment, granting freedom to all black Americans held in bondage.  His opponent was disgraced former union George Brinton McClellan who runs repudiating the PEACE DEMOCRATS.  His party was ready to give the south their independence while at the same time, giving southern blacks perpetual enslavement.

1866-Today: Democrats organized a social club of former Confederates officers known as the Ku Klux Klan.  “As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.”    

1915: Birth of a Nation is released as a tribute to the KKK.  D.W. Griffith’s aggressive promotion of the Klan was praised by Democrat Woodrow Wilson as a great triumph.  “Under President Woodrow Wilson, it was the first motion picture to be shown at the White House.”

1964-65: Democratic President Lyndon Baines Johnson cannot pass the civil rights bill even though Democrats control both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.   The president turns to Senator Everett Dirksen and his Republican caucus for the needed votes to carry the bill over the finish line.

Summer of 1964: Democratic President Lyndon Johnson misleads the American public vis-à-vis the Gulf of Tonkin resolution and launches America into a bloody war that kills 56,000 Americans.  By 1975, the North Vietnamese renege on the Peace Treaty negotiated by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger in 1973.  The Democratic majorities of both Houses refused to enforce the treaty and the south is invaded again and crushed. 

In 1975 the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia - it was formed in 1968 as an offshoot of the Vietnam People's Army from North Vietnam. It was the ruling party in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, led by Pol Pot…(t)he organization is remembered especially for orchestrating the Cambodian Genocide…(b)y 1979, the Khmer Rouge had fled the country…(t)he U.S. State Department-funded Yale Cambodian Genocide Project estimates approximately 1.7 million…” Cambodians died from the rule of the Khmer Rouge that is, from the instability of Southeast Asia caused by the refusal of Democrats in Congress to enforce the Peace treaty between the United States and North Vietnam.
I could go on regarding how Democratic social policies have obliterated the black family in America to the point that today 82% of black children are born illegitimately.  The results of that fact are seen everywhere – in education, the prison systems et cetera.  Today, the Democrats now own a $17 trillion debt.  Bob, I think I’ve made my point – stop inhaling canisters of Reddy Whip and try to treat your opposition with a semblance of respect.
