Double Standard

There is a lot of talk today about Prince Harry Reid's racial remarks about King Obama. As expected, Reid gets a pass from Blacks and the media. They say that Reid just made an inappropriate comment. When the Republican head of the Senate, Trent Lott, made similar remarks in 2002 he had to resign from the Majority Leader position and then retired from the Senate after being hounded by Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpton and many others including Ted Kennedy! Remember Ted leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in a river? Kennedy had taken Mary Jo from a party with the intent of romance even though he was married. Kennedy, probably drunk at the time, ran into a river on Saturday evening and swam to shore. He reported the incident to his family Sunday morning and the police were notified Sunday afternoon, allowing Kennedy time to sober up. Police reported finding scratch marks inside the car where Mary Jo tried to claw her way out but failed. Kennedy was never chastised for having an affair, drunken driving, negligent homicide, leaving the scene and failure to report. Kennedy, a liberal Democrat, was given a pass and remained in office until he died from cancer last year. He was praised by his liberal cohorts as a great American, a great Senator and a hero.

The liberal hypocrasy with Ted Kennedy is almost surpassed by that for Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Byrd was a card-carrying member of the Klu Klux Klan and opposed many civil rights actions for Blacks. Robert Byrd filibustered civil rights and voting rights bills in the Senate along with most of the other Senators from the South who were all Democrats at that time. Of course Byrd, a Democrat, is not held accountable by the media or the Black community.

Both Republican and Democratic politicians have had major indiscretions and have done egregious things. The difference is Republicans are booted out of office and the Democrats are given a pass and continue on. Why is that? To undertand why, you need to remember the history of the left-wing, marxist movement in the USA. This movement is now laughably called the "Progressive Movement". I refuse to refer to these communists as progressive: if anything, I call them "REGRESSIVES". At any rate, this political persuassion was pushed a little by Teddy Roosevelt and then pushed very hard by Woodrow Wilson. America rejected Wilson's ideas including the League of Nations. After Republicans took control of the White House again a new "Regressive" came along. FDR realized that the Democratic Party needed a game changer to get the upper hand on the Republicans. FDR came up with a vast expansion of socialism in America called the "New Deal". Expansion of government and government jobs, social security, welfare programs, etc. kept the Democrats in pretty good shape for many years. The Democrats knew they were in serious trouble after the civil rights movement was implemented in the early and mid 1960's. The national democratic party made a major switch and started advancing civil rights issues and fearing the loss of all the southern states they came up with the next great wave of socialism in this country: LBJ's "Great Society". The "Great Society" has nearly bankrupted this country and like FDR's "New Deal", was nothing but a scheme to legalize vote buying with taxpayer money.

After Republican White House control with Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II plus the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994, the Democrats knew they had to find a way to buy more votes. Presto, you have Obama, Reid and Pelosi spending trillions of dollars to expand government and welfare (Democratic base) while doing nothing to help the private sector (Republican stronghold). All the political activity going on in this country now is not about making the country, states, cities, counties or people any better- it is about control. That is why liberal Democrats who are giving your money away get a pass while Republicans are tarred and feathered. IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL! Control of you, your money and your life. As soon as the Regressives get about 20 million more illegal aliens added to the voting rolls they will have total control of the country and they can legally take everything you have, including your freedom. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee!
