The Party of Tolerance: Truth vs. Fantasy

[mudwhistle]

Democrats have to invent issues to remind special interest groups that they are being discriminated against, or are in danger because of GOP policies.

Examples:

Women need free birth control
Blacks are all ex-slaves
Mexican illegals deserve amnesty
Children are safer in gun-free zones
Tobacco is worse than Pot
Income inequality is unfair
Climate Change can be controlled by stopping the use of fossil fuels

There is a big difference between bloggers and talking heads calling people names and actual legislation being passed by political parties

Show us some GOP sponsored legislation that improves tolerance for minorities, women, gays, handicapped.....

If you gotta ask that question, you really need to go back to Grade School...

Eisenhower sent Federal Troops into dimocrap-scum controlled Alabama to deseregate its schools.

Richard Nixon made THE most significant advance in Affirmative Action by issuing the Philadelphia Order.

It was regarded as the most forceful plan thus far to guarantee fair hiring practices in construction jobs. Philadelphia was selected as the test case because, as assistant secretary of labor Arthur Fletcher explained, "The craft unions and the construction industry are among the most egregious offenders against equal opportunity laws . . . openly hostile toward letting blacks into their closed circle." The order included definite "goals and timetables." As President Nixon asserted, "We would not impose quotas, but would require federal contractors to show 'affirmative action' to meet the goals of increasing minority employment."


"Incredible but true," declared Fortune magazine at the time of Richard M. Nixon's death in 1994. "It was the Nixonites who gave us employment quotas."(1) Until recently, many scholars and journalists have credited Democratic Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson with initiating affirmative action. Yet it was a Republican president who first sanctioned formal goals and time frames to raze barriers to minority employment. Nixon, recalled civil rights leader James Farmer, was the strongest president on affirmative action--up to that point."

You really are a stupid little bitch. Honest to God.

But.... You're a dimocrap. What else is new.

LOL history is not your strong suit is it?

Really? Other than Strom Thurmond, can you name a single Southern Democrat who became a Republican?

The 88% of Misssissippians who voted for Goldwater in 1964, after a hundred years of voting Democrat.

Yup - and LBJ got 94 percent of the black vote that year, still a record for any presidential election. Imagine That ! The President who is quoted as saying

"I'll have those ******* voting Democratic for the next 200 years"

Well, this is bound to set some heads ablaze. It may even cause a flame war. There might be some negs and mods involved. But hey, that's not the point of this thread. Think about it for a moment. Which party is more tolerant? Who is the least tolerant? For as long as I can remember tolerance has been an issue in America. One party in particular purports to be the champions of tolerance. It claims the other party is racist, bigoted, misogynistic and generally intolerant of opposing viewpoints.

As I am about to demonstrate, I will take apart these assumptions. One by one.

Before I begin, let me say that intolerance exists on both sides of the aisle. Nobody is immune from it. Nobody. But as I see it, I see such intolerance pervading from the left at increasing amounts than the right's.

First, lets address the Democratic claim that they support women's rights, women altogether and are non sexist. They tried to pass the Lilly Ledbetter Paycheck Fairness act despite an existing law passed in 1963 to address the issue. They support a woman's unfettered right to abortive care and contraception. However if a woman from the opposing party dares to buck this trend, this is the result:

1) Ed Schultz calls Laura Ingraham a "talk slut" on his radio show:

2) Bill Maher refers to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann as "Boobs":

3) Black Tea Partier Mia Love reacts to Liberal Racism and misogyny after her appearance at the RNC in 2012:

4) Bill Maher attacks Sarah Palin's son:

------------------------------------------------------------------

On race, they claim to be for the black citizen, except if you are Mia Love, Allen West, Deneen Borelli, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Stacey Dash or a black Republican in general. Should a black person defect to the other side, this is the result:

Twitter Explodes After Actress Stacy Dash Endorses Mitt Romney As 'The Only Hope For Your Future'

Actress Stacey Dash, who has starred in everything from the 90′s hit Clueless to CSI, prompted a firestorm on Twitter after publicly endorsing Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and then standing by her opinion.

“Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future. @mittromney @teamromney #mittromney #VOTE #voteromney,” Dash wrote on her official Twitter page, accompanied by a photo of herself with an American flag.

Not long after, presumed Obama supporters began insulting Dash for her opinion, saying she isn’t “black” enough, several even asking if the actress would just “kill herself.”

One man wrote: “This hurts but you a Romney lover and you slutting yourself to the white man only proves why no black man married u @REALStaceyDash.”

As for homosexuals, and the aspect of bigotry, President Barack Obama showed no real concern for the hopes and feelings of the gay community by repeatedly shifting his stances on gay marriage from 1996 until the first term leading up to his re-election campaign. To put it mildly, they were used as pawns for his political agenda:



----------------------------------------------

As for their tolerance for people of faith, they were seen striking the word "God" from their platform in 2012 during their convention in Charlotte. They did later revise their platform to return those words to the platform, not 24 hours later:

Democrats Shift Language on Israel, Remove ‘God-Given’ From Platform

CHARLOTTE — For Democrats, there is no God in 2012 — at least as far as the party’s platform is concerned.

Nor is there a Jerusalem.

Democrats removed those two words, and the passages surrounding them, from the 2012 party platform as it was released this week.

In Charlotte on Monday, the Democratic National Committee released its 2012 party platform after the DNC Platform Committee approved it under the leadership of Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker. The Platform Drafting Committee, led by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, gathered feedback for an initial draft in Minneapolis over the summer.

Gone are three sentences identifying Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, now and forever. There is no mention of Jerusalem in the 2012 document, after the 2008 version included this mention:

Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.

Also gone is this reference to Hamas:

The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past agreements.

President Obama has publicly endorsed a two-state solution for Israel. Disagreements between his administration and Israel have at times become public, as the president has opposed new settlement construction, and the Jewish state’s more hawkish supporters have relentlessly criticized him for his handling of U.S./Israeli relations.

“The Obama Administration has followed the same policy towards Jerusalem that previous U.S. Administrations of both parties have done since 1967,” a DNC spokeswoman said of the change in platform language. “As the White House said several months ago, the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians – which we also said in the 2008 platform. We will continue to work with the parties to resolve this issue as part of a two state solution that secures the future of Israel as a Jewish state and the homeland of the Jewish people.”

Also gone is a previous reference to “God.”

The Democratic Party’s 2008 platform mentioned “God” once, in this passage (emphasis added):

We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.

Explaining the removal, a Democratic official explained: “The 2008 platform reference is ‘God-given’ and is about growing the middle class and making America fair, not actually about faith. The platform includes an entire plank on the importance of faith based organizations and the tremendous work that they do. Further, the language we use to talk about faith and religion is exactly the same vocabulary as 2008. I would also note that the platform mentions: ‘faith’ 11 times; ‘religion’ or ‘religious’ 9 times; ‘church’ 2 times (one is a quote); and, ‘clergy’ 1 time.”

So are they the party of tolerance? That is for you the reader to decide.

There is no arguement dumbass. A few comedians and so people from msn c is no arguement. I thought you were smarter than this. You don't think some dem could post a thousand videos about cons acting this way? Get a job loser so I can stop supporting you.

You quote Templar like you are going to respond to his quote, but then like the weasel you are, you just diss him for his entire post which was thoughtful and well written with many poignant points. You can't even spell 'argument' right and you call HIM the loser! Astonishing.

But.... You're a dimocrap. What else is new.

Scary isn't it?

You have to bring up long dead Republicans to find any examples

You're a scumbag. All you got is your misguided belief in your phony moral superiority.

It's all you got. Eisenhower desegregated Alabama's schools.

You said, "Show me where Republicans have done anything" about Civil Rights, or equality, or whatever lunacy you drivel on about.

I did. Not good enough for you, scumbag?

All you scumbags do is steal our ideas from us, copy them, then steal money from people who work for it and try to buy votes with it and further bastardize a good program. EVERYTHING you scumbags touch you turn to shit.... From Civil Rights to Health Care... You people turn good to shit... Every time.

Like you did with Blacks. Like you're doing with Hispanics.

You think murdering babies in the womb has anything to do with Civil Rights or a woman's right to her body?

scumbag; the baby she's murdering, to which you're an accomplice, is a separate human being. The baby has it's own separate DNA. After 20 weeks, it CAN feel pain, it DOES fight for its life and it DOES know it's being murdered.

But you're scum of the Earth. You don't care.

As to Gays? We've been for a Civil Union all along. One with the SAME EXACT RIGHTS as a Man-Woman Marriage.

But that's not good enough for you, is it cocksucker? Know why? Because you want to destroy the Institution of Marriage. Which Studies in Europe PROVE that Gay Marriage does.

What's the matter scumbag? 72% of all newborn Black Babies born out of wedlock not good enough for you? More than 1/4 (29%) of White babies born out of wedlock not good enough? Virtually all of them dependent on government

Know why? Because when you eliminate the Family, when you eliminate Religion (which you have almost completely accomplished) all that remains is the State.

And let's face it, you are a Statist.

And a scumbag.

Do the world a favor and eat some Drano

Search the term "Southern Strategy" and then say that Republicans aren't racist.

Southern Democrat became Southern Republican around 1968, so when you claim to be "the party of Lincoln", you're lying. If Abraham Lincoln were to see the GOP Teabagger party in the 21st century, he'd shoot himself from immense shame.

Pure fiction, but it sold to low information voters then, and it still sells now to the same type of people. And, it sold because it was never really challenged by the Republican Leadership or the media. Few intelligent people thought that anyone would believe such nonsense. However, the big lie repeated often enough and with enough vigor, will catch on with some folks. Democrats were the racists then, are the racists today, and will be the racists tomorrow.

First and foremost, Democrat racism was not confined to the Southern States, it was just more cordinated at the political level in the South. Second, the "Southern Strategy" had nothing to do with racism, it was a pragmatic belief that Blacks had been lost to the Republican party, so the money was concentrated on winning White votes in the South.

The lie was given credibility by the fact that the Republican party sprang from the ashes after Jim Crow and the Democrat dynasty had finally been defeated after a century of Democrat rule. If you lived in the South prior to 1968, and you wanted to vote for state and local offices, you registered as a Democrat. Few Republicans ran for office, and they risked their lives by doing so. Once the Democrat cabol was broken, and the Republican party began fielding candidates for state and local offices, many voters changed their registration to Republican. The racists, for the most part remained with the Democrat party.

Question for TamponKotex - which party supports equality for all RIGHT NOW? Not in 1963. Now.

Equality of what? Equality of opportunity, or equality of outcomes? Equality under the law, or the concept that some are more equal than others?

The Democrat party stands for nothing more than whatever helps them get the most votes from their various interest groups. It no longer has any core values beyond the desire for political power and the benefits that go along with that power. It is a criminal enterprise.

So, in your humble opinion, tolerance is something to be legislated? Do we then create a thought police to enforce that legislation?

Civil Rights was legislated. So was womens rights, gay rights, rights of the handicapped

State Department Webcast Features Guest Who Called Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice “Uncle Toms”…

Friends in low places.

Via Weekly Standard:

The State Department is presenting a global webcast on February 4, titled “From the Street to Mainstream: The Evolution of Rap/Hip Hop Music.” The host of the webcast, rapper and State Department Music Ambassador Toni Blackman, will be joined by Pras Michel, a founding member of the hip hop group the Fugees, to discuss “how rap and hip hop have increased social awareness of the African-American experience — and raised even broader issues in contemporary society.” Some of Michel’s more inflammatory comments in the past raise questions about the appropriateness of his appearance with the U.S.’s music ambassador on a government-sponsored webcast representing America to the world.

In 2008, Michel was interviewed by Katie Halper about Michel’s documentary Skid Row, which chronicles the rapper/filmmaker’s experiences “undercover for 9 days and nights as a homeless person in downtown LA’s notorious Skid Row.” Michel lamented in the interview that the “African-American generation is lost. They’re not being represented correctly.” He found fault with Bill Cosby and Oprah for just “point[ing] fingers.” He called Michael Jordan a “sell-out.” But he saved his harshest words for some well-known black conservatives as he contrasted them with then-presidential candidate Barack Obama:

Somebody said to me you only like Obama because he’s black. Well I can think of a couple black people I wouldn’t vote for. I’m not into black power. And on the other end of the spectrum, you got the Uncle Toms, the Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice … I’m not into that either. Obama is a uniter. He’s perfectly comfortable with the skin he’s in. He’s not gonna sell out. That’s a man of great principle.

You haven't been doing your homework, stein. I dig. By dig, I dig to China and back for links and relevant information. I don't revise anything. What you see is what you get. Secularism in American society means an inherent shift away from Christianity. If it were intended to allow for a "pluralism" of religions, why the hostility towards Christians?

Democrats support women, but attack them if they are of the opposing party. They do the same with black men and women alike whom they claim to support. "How dare they buck the trend?!"

They attack them because of their policies dumbass, that's what politics are. It's been that way for hundreds of years. Should they say, "Well, that'ts a conservative woman she's off limits. I guess you think con women and minorities can't hack it. You should read some of the newspapers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They make the insults today look like childsplay.
