Spielberg's "Lincoln" Good Movie Followed by Big Lie

Yesterday I saw Spielberg's "Lincoln" which made the passage of the 13th Amendment about as interesting as possible. The acting was brilliant.  Reviewers and responders on blogs got all caught up in the portrayal of Lincoln and the tenor voice, and with historical minutiae. It's not a documentary; good grief. Of course there are going to be artistic liberties taken. Surprisingly, Spielberg, screenwriter Tony Kushner, and Daniel Day Lewis, all Statist, Leftist Radicals, didn't rewrite history and avoided the standard attacks on Republicans. Actually it was a pretty good sketch of the events getting the anti-slavery amendment passed, and correctly portrayed the Democrats as the pro-slavery Party.

The meme is that it's the Republican Party that's racist and segregationist. The opposite has always been the case. Spielberg has been saying in interviews that Dems and Republicans "have traded political places over the last 150 years".  A blatant lie.  

The Dems were the ones that fought against civil rights legislation in the mid twentieth century, were the supporters and members of the KKK and all the rest of the horrible treatment of Blacks in this country. It's the Democrats that have impoverished and enslaved Blacks in the Urban Plantation in the twentieth century, and continue to do so. Black unemployment is in the high teens, and going up under a Black Democrat president.

Here is the history of the Racist Democrat Party vs the Republican Party. By the way, most Blacks were members of the Republican Party from the end of the Civil War into the early 20th century. Then the Dems did then, what they do now, offered a lot of free stuff. No such thing as free stuff, but people vote for their own oppression on the promise of free stuff.    

The Democrats:

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) had never elected a black man to the United States Senate, while the Republicans had elected three.

Christians Voting for Marxists, Secularists Then Surprised When They Vote to Oppress Freedom of Religion

Goal of Democrat Party for America

I've been saying for years that Marxism, Socialism, Communism, the Democrat Party and the rest of the totalitarian government philosophies and entities are antithetical to Christianity and have sat in wonderment that so many Christians vote Democrat or Socialist.

We had Barack Obama famously comment on those that cling to their guns and religion, directed at Christians here which don't, while he supports the Islamofascists in the Middle East that do. What else not supported are public displays of Christianity. Obama and the Democrats have turned freedom of religion found in the Establishment Clause to freedom from religion  and freedom to worship. Freedom to worship means if you're a Christian, shut the hell up except when you're with you own kind on Sundays.

I've chronicled how government officials have helped the Democrat Party, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), the Communist Party founded ACLU going to schools, colleges and universities, to the middle of the desert, to the deep woods, and anywhere a Cross or Ten Commandments monument or engraving is found, and sue to get them removed. Even to the point of a Ten Commandments monument on school grounds, voted on by the Democrat City Council to be removed. A solution was offered to have the monument moved to a nearby church. That was rejected because it was still in public view. Seriously.

Look for the day when churches will have to remove Crosses if that's the case.

It's the Democrat Party that's forcing the Catholic Church and other religious institutions to pay for birth control, abortion pills, abortion, infanticide according to government dictates, violating centuries of tradition, values and belief.

It's the Democrat Party and other anti Christians that keep Christian clubs forming on Campuses. It's the Democrat Party and other anti Christian intolerant bigots forcing existing clubs to accept and vote into leadership positions atheists and secularists to meet with "diversity" guidelines. It's the Democrat Party that is trying to stop Bible study groups from meeting in homes. Only Christian groups; Islamists are given a pass in the name of 'diversity".

Given all that, many Christians will still vote Democrat. They will vote for the city council members that remove Christian symbols from the public square. The will vote for state and federal Democrat officials that have a history of anti Christian bigotry and belief in the State before God. For example, a Catholic politician voting for abortion and infanticide, using as an excuse they don't want to force their values on other's. It's not a value if you use the power of the State to force others to obey the State and violate Christian practices; that person values the Secularist State over Christianity. He\She values killing babies over saving them. Yet many Christians will vote for these supporters that ignore or turn the Establishment Clause on its head. They will vote for those that oppose Christianity but give Islamists a pass. They will vote for those that ignore Biblical Principles.

The Founding Fathers made it quite clear that there must be a [Christian] religious moral foundation and virtuous people for our republic to survive. Many Christians for decades have voted against Christianity and for the State the oppresses them, then complain when the State, the people they voted for, actually starts removing all public practice and symbols of Christianity from the public square.

"If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."  2 Chronicles 7:14 

I can't help but think what happened to the Old Testament Jews every time they turned their back on God. It wasn't pretty.

  

California's Leftist Establishment Debt Reflects the Rest of Us

How or why is it possible the Democrat Party gets away with being the establishment since the 1930’s, with a couple years off here and there, running up massive city, state and federal debt, increasing poverty, crushing liberty, and keep getting re-elected by successfully blaming Republicans?  Truly a mystery.

California is a microcosm of this. Arnold Schwarzenegger joked in his actor days, when asked about his being a Republican and his wife a Democrat, that being a Democrat was a disease. Guess so. He went from being a Libertarian to a Socialist due to this destructive virus that convinces people submission to the State equals freedom.

Democrats have forever been in power in California. Businesses are fleeing, and even Leftist Hollywood types are claiming residences elsewhere to protect their incomes and assets. Not that there’s any inherent hypocrisy there. The main result of this massive fleeing is the state has had a $3.5 billion tax income shortfall. They are now $16 billion in debt.

The in control forever Democrats mumble about budget cuts and never do. They raise taxes, causing more people, even hypocritical Leftists to leave, further reducing the tax base. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, repeat failed governor of the late great state, while advocating (but apparently not meaning it) budget cuts is also trying to convince voters to give themselves a tax increase. The voters need to do that because two thirds of the legislature is needed to raise taxes and there's barely enough Republicans to vote no. Of course what the Dems want to cut is fire and police protection, education and other things that should be the priorities of government. They could cut providing free health care, social security, and myriad other benefits to undocumented Democrats (illegal immigrants) and save $billions. That’s the main budget buster.

Yet, even though they created the problems (assisted by RINO’s), when Republicans offer up a budget that just may work, they are racists and fat cats wanting to oppress the poor even more. Same at the Federal level.     

Under Governor Brown’s tax plan, the state sales tax would “temporarily” be raised by a quarter of a cent, and an income tax increase on people making $250,000 and up. I used to live in California and there are temporary taxes from the 1970’s still in place. Of course more business and people will leave as a result. The result of that result is the bulk of the population are the illegal, the poor, and the barely making it middle class.

The top ten states most in debt, per capita are Hawaii, California, New Jersey, North Dakota, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, Oregon and Connecticut. Want to guess which political party rules the roost in those? Top cities in debt trouble are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego to name but a few, and are controlled by what political party?

Here’s a couple California Democrat legislators and their attitude toward the problem and Republicans. Even though they’re federal, the groupthink mindset is the same of state legislators.

Nancy Pelosi:

“This isn’t just about them saying we should reduce the deficit.”  “This is an excuse. The budget deficit is an excuse for the Republicans to undermine government plain and simple. They don’t just want to make cuts, they want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the department of education. They want to destroy your rights.” …“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”

Rep. Barbara Lee:

“The current, so-called ‘debt crisis’ has been completely manufactured by House Republicans attempting to advance an extremist agenda. This should be a simple vote to allow the US Treasury to fund all of the programs and obligations of the entire federal government that are already in the law.” (Just how stupid is this woman? Where does she think the money in the Treasury comes from? Does she not know there is no money in the Treasury, the we’ve shot down way past zero?)

There’s a bunch of these characters calling Republicans terrorists for wanting to have a sensible budget. Really.

Beginning in the 1960’s being antiestablishment really took off, though it was just increasing the power of the Leftist establishment. Now the real antiestablishment people are conservatives. It’s tough to overcome nearly eighty years of the entrenched Leftist establishment. Back to the opening question, how or why are citizens still supporting an establishment and political party that have put us $trillions in debt, graduate uneducated children, protect criminals more than law abiding citizens, reduce fire and police support, reduce military protection, not protect the borders, and support deviant behavior over traditional behavior that has proven beneficial to individuals and society. Boggles the mind.

I can only hope this election can at least slow down this decadent destructive disastrous diminishing of America. Become a radical, overthrow the establishment!  

God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat

I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God's heavenly country club.

Santa Claus is another matter. He's cute. He's nonthreatening. He's always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who's been naughty and who's been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without the thought of quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he's famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus
