exZAKly

Grand Old Partisan’s Michael Zak reminds us that the renewal of the 1865 Freedman’s Bureau Act, (a forerunner of the 1866 Civil Rights Act that I wrote about the other day), was vetoed by Democrat President Andrew Johnson, and had it’s veto overridden by the Radical Republicans who controlled Congress, 144 years ago today. Thanks Mike! The Freedmen’s Bureau brought education and medical care to the former slaves across the South. Johnson’s veto of this Act, his veto of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, and his generally racist views and pro-ante bellum attitudes would later culminate in his impeachment in 1868.

He also takes the opportunity to speak truth to power and schools Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), [link to speech right here] who clamored for a seat on the racism bandwagon at the NAACP meeting the other day and said that the Tea Party has ties to the KKK.

Silly Sheila. The Klan is a Democrat institution, not a Conservative/Independent one.

It would have been far more truthful for the congresswoman to have admitted the fact that all those who wore sheets a long time ago lifted them to wear Democratic Party clothing.  Yes, the Ku Klux Klan was established by the Democratic Party.  Yes, the Ku Klux Klan murdered thousands of Republicans — African-American and white – in the years following the Civil War.  Yes, the Republican Party and a Republican President, Ulysses Grant, destroyed the KKK with their Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

...
Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), to third-in-line for the presidency.

Yes Sheila, it was your party that put a Klansman that close to the big chair.

No wonder the dems don’t want straight up history taught in schools anymore. If any black kid ever learned the truth, she’d realize quickly her people have sold their souls for 30 slices of government cheese.

I own a copy of Zak’s book, Back to basics for the Republican party. It’s a good concise read and covers a lot of history. Alright, I knew most of it already, but that’s only because I read a lot of history. I was surprised at just how anti-black Woodrow Wilson was. A real hater. They never told me that in school.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
