Joe Biden and the Democrats are desperately trying to change election laws in this country to give them an unfair advantage. They call it “election reform”, but it’s the furthest thing from reform. No more voter IDs, same-day registration, vote harvesting, unprecedented levels of mail-in voting, felons and illegals voting, and on and on.
In Joe Biden‘s effort to build public support to get this monstrosity passed, he traveled to Georgia last week. While there, he gave a speech, that was in my humble opinion, one of the most divisive, misleading, and outrageous speeches ever given by an American president.
Democrat George C. Wallace, 1964
In order to respect your time, I’ll limit my comments to just one part of the speech. This part: “I’ll ask every elected official in America: How do you want to be remembered?…Do you want to be…on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?”
Well, Joe, let me bring something to your attention – Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. And the three examples of evil, racist politicians you gave, George Wallace and Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis – ALL DEMOCRATS. Like you, Joe, Democrats. As a graduate of the second oldest college in this nation, William and Mary, and a history major at that, let me educate you on your party, Joe, the Democratic Party, versus mine, the Republican Party, and civil rights.
For a hundred and thirty years, since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party was opposed to every major civil rights proposal. It defended slavery, was instrumental in the founding of the KKK, opposed Reconstruction after the Civil War, supported segregation, and bitterly opposed the civil rights legislation of the 1950s and 1960s.
The Republican Party on the other hand, Joe, was literally formed as the anti-slavery party. It’s mission was to fight against the spread of slavery from the southern states, which were all controlled by Democrats, into the western territories of this nation.
Three years following the founding of the Republican Party, a major Supreme Court case reviewing slavery was issued – the infamous Dred Scott case. The court ruled that slaves were not citizens, but property. The seven justices who agreed with that travesty, were all Democrats. The two justices who dissented, were both Republicans.
And when it ultimately came to passing the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, a far higher percentage of Republicans in Congress voted FOR the legislation than Democrats did.
So, Joe, when you refer to the likes of George Wallace and Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis, remember they were all members of your party, not mine.
I’ll stick with the Party of Lincoln.
