Why does anyone vote for Democrats?

This is a bit of a rant but after seeing so many people complain that, because the Republicans won the majority of the Senate, black people across the country are going to be hurt or completely thrown to the side because the Republicans are so racist. I can't stand it and this is my argument as to why no one who thinks that people deserve equal rights, should vote for any Democrat.

 

 You do realize the KKK was started by Democrats, right? You do know that the most notable KKK member to ever serve in congress was a Democrat, right? You do know that the segregationists were Democrats, right? Why doesn't anybody remember that the only party that was fighting against the abolishment of slavery was the Democratic Party?

 

Their argument was that it was good for them and for our economy to keep them on the plantation because they did work that the civilized people wouldn't do(sounds a lot like what they say about illegal immigrants now). They argued that the black folks (henceforth referred to as "them, they, or their" because it was the term that was used) wouldn't be able to survive without their owners keeping them safe, because they weren't educated and weren't good for anything except being servants. After Dems lost, they argued that they were dirty and probably diseased so it wouldn't be okay to be close to them or they would rub off on them. Dems argued that they should be kept separate, but they could be equal by letting them sit in the back of the bus, or eat in the back of the restaurant, or sit in the balcony of the theater were the air conditioning didn't work.

 

After Dems lost that battle, they went to the argument that they wanted what was best for them so they would set up everything for them to get the best out of this country. They would give them good schools provided by the government, give them assistance to buy food if they couldn't quite make ends meet because it was only fair, and give them money for living expenses if they couldn't find a job right away. They created a system to keep them comfortable and then proceeded to degrade the inner city schools so the education system would keep them uneducated and then created government programs that would allow them to live just comfortable enough that they wouldn't have to try to make more. Dems then took control over the media so the only thing they would see in the paper or hear on the radio or TV would be what the Dems want them to hear. They created a system that would degrade the family by allowing men to make a family and then walk out on them and force single moms who could only work part time jobs to be reliant upon the government. They created a system that would allow them to demonize the people who talked about hard work and bettering yourself because "They don't understand your struggles." They won the trust of entire cities, and in some cases states, by demonizing employers and business owners for not paying a fair share to help them get the best stuff and claim that the business owners and Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of poor people by cutting food stamps as a scare tactic. They demonized share holders of businesses for wanting profit so they could get a return on their investments into the companies, and then demonized the free market that made the country we live in, into THE country everyone in the world wanted to come to so they could live their dreams.

 

This is why you don't see the Democrats proposing things that will bring jobs into the cities. They only propose raising taxes on the rich people and businesses, to pay for the handouts. When they raise the taxes they know it is going to force them to leave, to go places where the taxes are lower, so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor (just ask John Kerry about finding ways to avoid paying taxes). This in turn makes it even harder to pay for the handouts so they point to the rich people as the problem as to why the government can't take care of everyone. The thing that they never admit is that they will eventually run out of other people's money.

Conservatives know that we are all capable of accomplishing anything we put your minds to. Conservative know that no matter what we have been told, we are just as good as anyone else in this world. I'm no better than anyone else, but I'm also just as capable as everyone else. I may not be able to type 100 words per minute, or organize files, or sometimes even stay on one job at a time, so I purposely work in a field that is fitting what I am good at. We can ALL find something that we are good at or that, if we are lucky, we want to do with the time we are given here on Earth. We can ALL find something that can make our lives better and then work our hardest to be the best at it. We can ALL prosper if put our whole selves into what we do. We can ALL be great. We can ALL be more than we are now. We can ALL make this world a better place and make our marks. We don't need politicians to give us what we need because we are capable of doing it for ourselves. We almost all fall down at some point in time, and there are thousands of people or charities that can help us back up, and then when we are back up, we go out and make the best of our opportunities and then give back to the community so that we are helping others who are going through what we endured. We don't need the government to help us because we were helping each other before the government started handing out money. Why can't we do it again?

 



All of this being said, yes there are racist Republicans, just like there are racist Democrats. Some people are idiots. You can't fix stupid, but you can choose to not elect them. Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms are good examples, as Democrats who didn't like the Civil Rights Act, changed affiliation to the Dixiecrats and then completely flopped over to the party that actually voted to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you can name another Republican in a national government seat that was a staunch segregationist(like Jimmy Carter), I would like to hear about them.

 

With this election being over now, The United States Senate has seen 9 black senators, 5 Democratic and 4 Republican (the first 2 were Republicans from Mississippi and the 3rd a Republican from Massachusetts) and currently there are only two black Senators Tim Scott(R) from South Carolina and Cory Brooker(D) from New Jersey. 

Awesome.

So today I just heard about this "Liberal Tea Party." Amazing. Van Jones has introduced his group, the "American Dream Movement." "Van is a co-founder of three successful non-profit organizations: The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change and Green for All. He is the best-selling author of the definitive book on green jobs: The Green~Collar Economy. He served as the green jobs advisor in the Obama White House in 2009.(vanjones.net)" Needless to say, Van Jones is a flaming Liberal and wants to see socialism spread throughout our great republic. He introduced this group in the Huffington Post in February of this year. He call it "Our 'Tea-Party' Movement" and said that "all who love this country need to do everything possible to spread the 'Spirit of Madison' to all 50 states." Luckily he did say that we didn't all need to go occupy our state capitols and pull our kids out of school to go there and picket beside the teachers who refuse to do their jobs because they are too busy acting like idiots. But we still could go to our capitols steps and rally.

He is trying to organize a grassroots movement to take on the completely unorganized Tea Party. I guess the concept of free thinking and actual common sense is completely null and void to these people. He is trying to get people to rally around the socialist concept, that taxing the rich and giving to the poor is the way the American Dream is going to be upheld. I told a guy here on blogger (who will remained unnamed - mostly because I don't want to draw any more attention to his idiocy than necessary) earlier this week that people are inherently good but they are also inherently greedy, jealous, and lazy. Now don't get me wrong, there are evil people out there, but overall good will prevail because people will see something is bad and run away from it. That is what happened to create the Tea Party, more on that later.

If you give people something for free and they can take as much as they want, they're going to take as much as they can carry if they think they can use it. I put this into a deer analogy. If you take a truck full of carrots and dump them in the field, the deer are going to come eat them. If the pile is completely eaten and you bring another truck and dump it in the field, the deer will come back and keep eating them. Why should they waste their time and energy searching in the woods for food, when there is a big pile of carrots to eat from just over there in an open field? As a result, the undergrowth in the forest starts getting dense. Soon there is no clear way through the undergrowth and the woods are no longer navigable. But you keep dumping those carrots in the field and the deer keep coming back and getting fatter and fatter and fatter. Soon the are just lounging in the field and don't even run when the truck comes in with the carrots. They just wait right there till the truck dumps the carrots and they start eating before the truck even drives away. Now with all of these deer so fat they can't run away and so trusting of you because you have feed them for so long, you can go into that field and shoot them all and none of them will get away. As a result of the dependence they have grown to you, they won't be able to run back into the woods due to so much dense undergrowth that has grown because they weren't in there eating it and keeping it clear. The no longer have their trails they can use to vanish because they haven't needed them. So you start shooting them one by one. At first when they here the shooting it doesn't bother them, but then the shooting gets closer and closer and they try to run, but there is no way out. Now since you have baited them for years and kept them fat and happy for so long, you were able to completely obliterate them because they couldn't and wouldn't fend for themselves.

If you make it easy for people to set at home and do nothing, they will. If you take away the need to work hard, they will stop. If you take away the need to be better, they will stop trying. If you take away the benefit of exploring, they will stay still. If you take away the reward for developing, their minds will rest. I know that I do not want to be dependant on anyone except for myself and my family. I know that people are inherently greedy and if you become dependant upon them and trust them completely, they will take and take and take, until you have nothing left, and they will throw you away because you are of no more benefit to them.

Do you think Hitler came into power in Germany by saying, "I want to kill the Jews, elect me."? No. He lost the elections and decided to create mass chaos in the streets. He started holding rallies and spreading propaganda and got larger and larger followings at his rallies and created more and more violence. After a few elections, most of which were lost by the Nazi party he became chancellor and then used that position to spread propaganda and earn trust of people through fear and "emergencies." He got the president to pass a decree called, "For the Protection of the People and the State." It was a bill that took away the German peoples rights to free speech, the press, assembly, personal property and many other things. He then convinced the government that he should be in control of the country, and they gave him complete power with absolutely no checks and balances. If it could happen then, what makes you think it couldn't happen again? If you are dependant on the government, and it turns evil, then what can you do?

The biggest problems we have in our country is a mixture between multiple things.

Jealousy - everyone sees what the rich have and they want it too. I 'm guilty. I see nice cars and nice homes, and nice counter tops, and nice garages, and nice tools, and nice clothes and I want them. I want to look like them, I want to eat like them, I want to party like them, and I want to be like them.

Greed - people get money, but not enough, and they want to get everything they can to be more like that top 1%. So they will either steal, to get the best stuff, they will borrow more money than they can afford to pay for the stuff, or they will become very frugal and save every dime until they can afford to buy it. And some will save the money and put it away like they have to have it and they will lie, cheat or steal to get more of it.

Last but not least is Laziness - you know what this means. Everyone knows someone who is working the system. They sit at home and collect a check from the government because they can. Either they have kids and are collecting their monthly welfare checks, so they continue having more kids to increase the checks, or they are sitting at home collecting their disability check for a back injury, but that back injury doesn't stop them from doing construction work under the table. When you ask them about it, they give you some sob story followed by, "And anyway, if I were to get a real job, it would cut into my benefits." Some people look at these "benefits" as something that is owed to them for being an American citizen, but it is there to actually help people who can't provide for themselves. A benefit to being an American citizen is the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom to practice or not practice religion without having the government punish you for it, not sit at home and collect a check for no real reason.

If we want to fix America, we have to combat these problems. We have to try to make it beneficial for people to work, instead of sit at home and collect checks. We have to make it easier for people to start their own businesses so they can try to live their own dreams. We have to make it easier for businesses to hire more people and expand. We have to make it easier for people to make things here in America instead of sending it overseas to make it. We have to commit ourselves to making America the best country to live in. We also need to make sure that as our country continues to be the best in the world, that we are not being short changed in our trades with other countries. We need to make sure that our citizens are getting the best prices from other countries and that we are able to provide other countries the best prices for our products. In order for them to buy from us, we need to have prices lower than the rest of the world. If we can produce it here, we should be able to buy it from here. Can anyone tell me why you can't buy a completely American made coffee maker?

You can't make people stop being jealous, but you can make it so they are motivated to come up with their own ideas on how to make it to their own form of success. You want everyone to own a home? Go build them and sell them for cost. You could even start your own non-profit corporation making homes for inner city families. You want everyone to own a new fuel efficient car? Start a non-profit building inexpensive, fuel efficient cars and sell them for cost. You can be socialistic, and not try to ruin every ones lives by increasing the size of government, therefore increasing the cost of everything. You can change the world, and not change the government.

Big government doesn't make things better. If you haven't noticed, the government doesn't always make the best decisions, and they definitely don't make decisions fast. If "Big Brother" isn't supporting you in every step of your life, you have a say, but if they are, you have to go with them or you will perish. Remember, our government was set up on the basis of the government was "by the people and for the people," meaning that the government does what the people want, not the other way around. A republic, the basis of our government, is a government that is run by the rule of law, our Constitution. The government is supposed to guide us by the laws established in our constitution.

Now back to the Tea Party. I told you more on this later, you probably thought I forgot. This group was not created, this group happened. No one said came out on the Drudge, or the Blaze, or one of the conservative talk shows and said, "We need to organize our efforts across this country and tell these evil Democrats that we don't want their socialist policies. Everyone who loves this great country needs to spread the spirit of 'Boston Mass. December 16, 1773' across all of these 50 states." No, people realized that the government was trying to force them into a health care policy that they did not want. They realized that the government can not, by any stretch of the imagination, afford to pay for this type of program, and that by getting involved, there is no possible way they will lower the prices. They realized that they need to take control of the government, or there won't be a country by the time it's their children's or grand children's turn to run the country.

I tried to tell everyone 3 years ago that this was going to be hard. Of course I knew by writing this blog I wasn't going to be able to reach very many people, but don't get me wrong, I was writing my congressmen and women. I was writing other peoples congressmen and women. I was writing letters to newspapers, none of which I saw run in the papers. I was telling everyone I knew about what was happening and what was coming. People were to entrenched in the history of the moment and the partisan politics to pay attention to the actual issues that were affecting, and were about to be affecting our country. I fear now that a new election cycle is coming up, the country is going to go right back into the same cycle as it has for so many years now.

Anyway, before I continue down this road of unabashed, yet completely correct, destruction of the Liberal mindset, I must bid you adieu. It is bed time in my house and I need to get some sleep. I hope that our people will see the light and correct the path of this country. I fear if we do not, the world will look back at this point in time and realize how stupid we really were.

God bless you, and God bless the USA. We're going to need it.
