I believe he is giving actual information. It's all in the history books, it's just recent years when revisionism has taken over about the Dem party, etc.

Which history books, what revisions are you talking about? I am sure you do believe this is actually information, I just don't think it is, but then again, I am not trying to convince otherwise.

Well, you would need to watch D'Souza's material but since you won't I can't help you. Unless you want to go to youtube to see the Dems during the civil rights movement standing in school doors keeping black students form going in.

I know you will say, "that isn't the Dem party, they have changed" but they have just gotten shrewder in keeping people down and making it all PC to do so.

No one is arguing that, there were very racist and bigoted people in the Democrats back in the 60s. The Dixie Democrats were some of the worst racist people out there, though the Southern Republicans were pretty racist too, just not that many of them.

Not sure why you think that is some secret knowledge, nor do I know why you think the Democrats of the 60's are the same as the Democrats today.

I am a Democrat and there is no way I would have voted for the racist Democrats from the 60's. So I don't need to watch an inaccurate documentary just to know it is wrong because that would be admitting to myself that I wanted to waste my time with it, but you want to believe it, so who am I to try and change your mind. You seem to hinkle the Democrats today are the exact same as the ones in the 60's because they would be the ones pushing for Civil Liberties and gay rights today.

Can we have some decorum, please! That's "Convicted Felon Dinesh D'Souza" to you. He earned that title.

Well, his book is called "Stealing America". Perhaps he has taken up autobiography?

Default Allen West, a black man, agrees with this---

After last night


After last night’s debate, I’d like to ask every black Democrat this ONE question…

"The progressive socialists of this new Democrat Socialist Party has created a new type of plantation, an economic one, focused on economic enslavement, not empowerment. It’s a plantation that preaches the poison of victimization, not of being a victor. How long will American blacks fall for this charade?

I can tell you when you speak with blacks who’ve come to America from the West Indies or Africa, namely Nigeria and Ethiopia, they don’t accept the rhetoric of liberal progressive subjugation and dependence. They came to America for the equality of opportunities afforded, as long as one has the drive, determination, and will to be part of the great American endeavor of exceptionalism and achievement."

It's not the party of Lincoln even if they want to say they are.
Every student if history knows this! My mother, a Democrat, voted for Lester Maddox, Google that.

I believe you. Really, you do not know what you would have been if you were born in 1940. Maybe you would have been like me and evolved out of the culture, then, maybe not?
