Spitting on Dr Kings legacy

Very interesting segment and it certainly paints a different picture of Mr. Barton than TDM and her blog wanted to portray.

Immie

Which brings up the question again, why would they want to paint Mr. Barton as anything other than what he truly is?

Why do they want to lie about him? Why do they want people to not listen to him?

My only conclusion can be to keep people in ignorance for personal power. If anyone can come up with a better reason, I'd be open for suggestions.
 
Perry picked this guy to work with.

And Obama picked Dohrn, Ayers, and Wright to work with, and you told us vociferously that that meant NOTHING about Obama, and how DARE we try to blacken him by association.

I think what people are trying so hard to tell you is that you're a hypocrite and a joke who's "outrage" has as little meaning to us as every other idiotic, partisan piece of bullshit you utter.

Personally, I'm GLAD Perry chose to work with someone you hate so much. I hope it's a funny stroke.

I'm glad Perry chose to work with someone who cares about accuracy in history as well.
 
"[The United States] government lied about their belief that all men were created equal. The truth is they believed that all white men were created equal. The truth is they did not even believe that white women were created equal, in creation nor civilization. The government had to pass an amendment to the Constitution to get white women the vote. Then the government had to pass an equal rights amendment to get equal protection under the law for women. The government still thinks a woman has no rights over her own body, and between Uncle Clarence who sexually harassed Anita Hill, and a closeted Klan court, that is a throwback to the 19th century, handpicked by Daddy Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, between Clarence and that stacked court, they are about to undo Roe vs. Wade, just like they are about to un-do affirmative action. The government lied in its founding documents and the government is still lying today. Governments lie."

Not true?

It is ALL based in historical fact.

Why are you agreeing with an anonymous poster on the internet?
 

I truly doubt that Rick Perry thinks that, you are attempting to paint with a broad brush. Talk about racism, what about Obama's 20 year relationship with Rev Wright, a devoted white person hater.

Remember too, Abe Lincoln was a republican and if it were not for the Republicans in congress the civil rights movement would have ended with the Democrats, if any party is racist it is the democrats. After the civil war Republican governors were murdered for giving blacks the right to vote. Know your history and you will know your mistake, then have the courage to admit it and correct it..
 
Im glad he is teaching black history.

Why is it he then disses MLK and his contributions?

I do believe you to be a good human being. Things sadly are not just in black and white.

For example remember the issue Henry Gates the black professor that Obama made a fool of himself over is a devout racist. Not against whites. But on record for hating Island and Afrikaners.

Black on black hate.

I truly wish MLK was around now. I mean this with all my heart. I walked those days. Those were the days that I felt I could stand with MLK at the gates of Graceland together or jam in Memphis.

Not now. Everyone is so full of hate. I don't think we can turn it back.
 
I don't know, I didn't watch it. Perhaps you can find a link to the program. I'm mean you have already condemned the man, maybe you should actually back up your accusations?

This episode was always pretty good. The man TM is libeling is helping Glenn teach about the Black Founders. This is only pt 1 btw

Very interesting segment and it certainly paints a different picture of Mr. Barton than TDM and her blog wanted to portray.

Immie

Seriously, after watching that TM should just apologize and shut the fuck up. I can't believe people would accuse him of trying to minimize the contributions of blacks when he went on national TV and shared some major contributions of African Americans in our history. Most of which I had no idea about.
 
These are the guys who would be helping to establish policy in a Perry administration.

And making decisions as to appointing judges and justices to the courts.

I thought you said he said there was "a separation of church and state in our Constitution". So why are you citing THIS, which says nothing of the sort?

Perhaps you should buy a dictionary and get someone literate to read it to you.

Constitutional Myth #4: The Constitution Doesn't Separate Church and State

Because the words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the Constitution, the argument runs, the document provides for merger of the two.

It's bosh: ahistorical, untextual, illogical.

Patriots like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison were profoundly skeptical about the claims of what they called "revealed religion." As children of the 18th-century Enlightenment, they stressed reason and scientific observation as a means of discovering the nature of "Providence," the power that had created the world. Jefferson, for example, took a pair of scissors to the Christian New Testament and cut out every passage that suggested a divine origin and mission for Jesus. In their long correspondence, Jefferson and John Adams swapped frequent witticisms about the presumption of the clergy. ("Every Species of these Christians would persecute Deists," Adams wrote on June 25, 1813, "as soon as either Sect would persecute another, if it had unchecked and unbalanced power. Nay, the Deists would persecute Christians, and Atheists would persecute Deists, with as unrelenting Cruelty, as any Christians would persecute them or one another. Know thyself, Human Nature!") As president, Adams signed (and the U.S. Senate approved) the 1797 Treaty with Tripoli, which reassured that Muslim nation that "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

Constitutional Myth #4: The Constitution Doesn't Separate Church and State - Garrett Epps - National - The Atlantic

And the fact that the right rejects Constitutional case law is meaningless, as the Court is authorized to interpret the Founding Document’s meaning:

The majority in the Everson case, and the minority as shown by quotations from the dissenting views in our notes 6 and 7, agreed that the First Amendment's language, properly interpreted, had erected a wall of separation between Church and State.

Know your history, then you can critical think.

Reconstruction Era of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaCompromise of 1877.[1]

Reconstruction policies were debated in the North when the war began, and commenced in earnest after the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863. Reconstruction policies were implemented when a Confederate state came under the control of the Union Army. President Abraham Lincoln set up reconstructed governments in several southern states during the war, including Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. He experimented with giving land to ex-slaves in South Carolina. Following Lincoln's assassination, president Andrew Johnson tried to follow Lincoln's lenient policies and appointed new governors in the summer of 1865. Johnson quickly declared that the war goals of national unity and the ending of slavery had been achieved, so that reconstruction was completed. Republicans in Congress refused to accept Johnson's terms, rejected the new members of Congress elected by the South, and in 1865–66 broke with the president. A sweeping Republican victory in the 1866 Congressional elections in the North gave the Radical Republicans enough control of Congress that they overrode Johnson's vetoes and began what is called "Radical reconstruction" in 1867.[2] Congress removed the civilian governments in the South[3] in 1867 and put the former Confederacy under the rule of the U.S. Army. The army conducted new elections in which the freed slaves could vote, while those who held leading positions under the Confederacy were temporarily denied the vote and could not run for office.

In ten states,[4] coalitions of freedmen, recent black and white arrivals from the North (carpetbaggers), and white Southerners who supported Reconstruction (scalawags) cooperated to form Republican biracial state governments. They introduced various reconstruction programs, including the founding of public schools in most states for the first time, and the establishment of charitable institutions. They raised taxes, which historically had been low as planters preferred to make private investments for their own purposes; offered massive aid to support railroads to improve transportation and shipping. Conservative opponents charged that Republican regimes were marred by widespread corruption. Violent opposition towards freedmen and whites who supported Reconstruction emerged in numerous localities under the name of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a secret vigilante organization, which led to federal intervention by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1871 that closed down the Klan. Conservative white Democrats calling themselves "Redeemers" regained control state by state, sometimes using fraud and violence to control state elections. A deep national economic depression following the Panic of 1873 led to major Democratic gains in the North, the collapse of many railroad schemes in the South, and a growing sense of frustration in the North.

Memory lane...Why Martin Luther King Was a Republican

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.

During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military.

Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy​, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

The guy that has me sweating is Cass. I'm to busy in the garden and the last 8 days of summer I might have up here before I hit the boards again, but hells bells, Bam Bam has phsyco czars in the house.

Holy toledo.

I just want to have some fun before I really have to go politico again. And my martha's vineyard involves descenting for points and a buck spread.

But when I get rolling again. Man oh man, balls to the walls with every link you want on these whackos.

Why is it you can't respond to this post?

So I left for a while, expecting TM to finally prove the stations that were to be closed were in heavily Democratic districts. Imagine my surprise :D to see that she hasn't. So I said to myself, "Self, since she won't do it, maybe you should look some of them up, to see if she is right". Here is what I found...

Funny, I don't see these as heavily Democratic. In fact, they seem more heavily Republican to me.

I guess TM is wrong again, like that is something new.

Are you ever going to respond to how you were wrong about the WI DMV closings being in Democratic districts?

Sorry about going off topic, folks.
 
Ok... so... Obama SHOULD NOT be held responsible for anything Jeremia Wright said (as he watched from the pews for 20 years)...

but Perry SHOULD be held responsible for something that David Barton said (as part of a group Perry is not affiliated with), because they went to the same retreat.

Got it.

:lol:

Good job, finally someone who knows their history, yet somehow black people buy into all that democrat talk and never quite get off the democrat plantation. A little more history for your enjoyment:

Riot of 1866


Radical Republicans in Louisiana, both black and white, reacted to the passage of the Black Codes and the legislature's refusal to enfranchise black men by recalling delegates who had written the Constitution of 1864. Twenty-five white delegates, along with some two hundred supporters, met for their first day of deliberations on July 30, 1866, in New Orleans at the Mechanics' Institute, then used as the statehouse.

On that same afternoon a group of white citizens, aided by the New Orleans police and firemen, attacked the delegates and their supporters. These white assailants, many of them Confederate veterans, opposed the convention's goals and were enraged at the prospects of the new Reconstruction order.

Federal troops were called in to stop the violence but by the time they arrived the mayhem had run its course. Official reports from the massacre, one of the bloodiest riots of the Reconstruction era in the United States, listed 37 persons (34 black and 3 white Radicals) killed and 146 wounded. Contemporary witnesses believed the numbers to be much higher.

Notice it was those radical REPUBLICANS who fought for the black vote, not the democrats.

And yet more PROOF that it was the Republicans who supported civil rights not the democrats and here is the list of them, note that the great majority who were proponents of segregation are DEMOCRATS. Here it is truth matters you asked for the truth - you got it.

Kings dad was a major player with the R's at the time.

You have to understand. Many of us lived this. We don't buy into the new jack shit that asshole white revisionists are putting out there.

I walked those miles. I am as lily white as you can get. But I have a history too of being the child of the peoples who fled Stalin.

Pity the way its all being presented now. I don't believe MLK in a heartbeat would approve.

I believe MY Dr Martin Luther King would be smacking heads around at the idiocy he would see today.
 
I'm getting ready to make jalapeno jelly / ok so I have to add some hungarians.

But I'm not going to let this go. It was the dems that did Jim Crow. It was the Dems that tried to block everything. LBJ that freaking racist prick only got shit passed because of republicans.

Hells bells what next.? Nixon started the Vietnam war? Believe me I've been on boards where little liberal retards beleive this shit.
 
It is insinuation to claim that someone said Dr. King deserves no credit for the Civil Rights movement and not back it up with quotes from the individual and then to further claim that because a candidate is associated with said individual that the candidate also believes this without backing up the statement.

This article was nothing but a smear campaign and a piss poor one at that.

Immie

Barton makes up his own Christian based history. He has said everything in the Op and more

David Barton

I saw your link in the previous post.

Let me ask who is doing the hating in that article, "HateWatch" or David Barton or both?

I don't know much at all about Barton and I really don't care one way or the other. I won't be voting for Perry. In fact, I would vote for Obama before I vote for Perry although, I'm not voting for any party once again. /sigh It would be so nice to have a candidate that might win an election that actually cared about the people of this country.

Immie

I'm curious. On what basis have you decided that Perry "doesn't care about the people", not that I consider that a major concern in a President, since he's the Commander in Chief, not the Therapist in Chief.

This is a list of segregationists during the American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968). Many public figures, particularly in the South, defended compulsory racial segregation as an institution during the Civil Rights Movement, and many others did not condemn it. This list comprises those people who publicly supported segregation at the time, although many later modified or recanted their position as public sentiment shifted (and the number of African American voters in their areas increased).

Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy​, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

Good job, finally someone who knows their history, yet somehow black people buy into all that democrat talk and never quite get off the democrat plantation. A little more history for your enjoyment:

Riot of 1866


Radical Republicans in Louisiana, both black and white, reacted to the passage of the Black Codes and the legislature's refusal to enfranchise black men by recalling delegates who had written the Constitution of 1864. Twenty-five white delegates, along with some two hundred supporters, met for their first day of deliberations on July 30, 1866, in New Orleans at the Mechanics' Institute, then used as the statehouse.

On that same afternoon a group of white citizens, aided by the New Orleans police and firemen, attacked the delegates and their supporters. These white assailants, many of them Confederate veterans, opposed the convention's goals and were enraged at the prospects of the new Reconstruction order.

Federal troops were called in to stop the violence but by the time they arrived the mayhem had run its course. Official reports from the massacre, one of the bloodiest riots of the Reconstruction era in the United States, listed 37 persons (34 black and 3 white Radicals) killed and 146 wounded. Contemporary witnesses believed the numbers to be much higher.

Notice it was those radical REPUBLICANS who fought for the black vote, not the democrats.

And yet more PROOF that it was the Republicans who supported civil rights not the democrats and here is the list of them, note that the great majority who were proponents of segregation are DEMOCRATS. Here it is truth matters you asked for the truth - you got it.

This is a list of segregationists during the American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968). Many public figures, particularly in the South, defended compulsory racial segregation as an institution during the Civil Rights Movement, and many others did not condemn it. This list comprises those people who publicly supported segregation at the time, although many later modified or recanted their position as public sentiment shifted (and the number of African American voters in their areas increased).

Now tell me again how the Democratic party has been a freind to the black race. Again if any party has been racist it has been the Democrats. The proof of that is in your face and in the history books.
