Mia Love Faces Criticism From Liberals Who Call Her A “Traitor To Her Race”
Western Journalism ^ | 11/06/2014 | HEATHER LASKIN

Mia Love made history on Tuesday, becoming the first black female Republican to be elected to Congress.

However, although she is proud of her accomplishment, Love has tried to take the focus off her race and gender, saying on CNN Wednesday,

“This has nothing to do with race. Understand that Utahans have made a statement that they’re not interested in dividing Americans based on race or gender, that they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest and who have integrity. That’s really what made history here. It’s that race and gender had nothing to do with it. Principles had everything to do with it.” But some people just can’t let that race thing slide. Many took to Twitter after Love’s win to voice their opinions of the new Representative-elect.

All I ever need to know about Mia Love is this:

She is fond of recalling what her father told her during her college orientation: “Mia, your mother and I never took a handout. You will not be a burden to society. You will give back,”

Tells me VOLUMES about WHERE she came from and the VALUES she grew up with! Which are GOOD VALUES!

Could any of those liberal dem0crats calling Mia a race traitor possibly be white, by chance? [Wouldn't that be delicious?]

THE UGLY HISTORY OF THE KKK PARTY

“Those who ignore History are damned to repeat the horrors committed by the Democratic Party”… Paraphrasing philosopher George Santayana

The first two Black United States senators were Republicans. Hiram Rhodes Revels, served 1870-1871 as senator for Mississippi at de United States Senate; and Blanche Kelso Bruce, U.S. senator for Mississippi from 1875-1881, he was the first African American to serve a full term in the United States Senate

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (FROM BLACK WOMEN)
Lincoln Heritage Institute ^ | 3-18-08 | Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,

“We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:

Whereas in the early 1600’s 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,

Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,

Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,

Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,

Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,

Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,

Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,

Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,

Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:

(a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations, (f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon’s 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,

Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka (a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were established by the Democratic Party,

Whereas after Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans, he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,

Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues.

Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist,

Whereas Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,

Whereas when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr. and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,

Whereas in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans, and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,

Whereas Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,

Whereas Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election was “stolen” from him and that African Americans in Florida were disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the “Miami Herald” and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to vote,

Whereas the Democratic Party’s soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,

Whereas the Democratic Party’s use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party’s heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,

Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.

Isn't it interesting that these “tolerant” liberals think they own blacks — as if they were the plantation owners and the blacks were slaves on the plantation? These same liberals are offended when their attitudes and actions are called by what they are — racist and racism. Then they really get jacked up with indignation. Democrats have always been the party of racists and racism, both before and after the Civil War. Nothing changed for the bigots in the Democrat Party.

Did you notice that since winning the AP has ran pictures that make her look "silly" case in point:

I have seen this picture of here on MANY of the lib sites which looks to be a picture snapped mid gesture that is not so flattering. (the press phottogtraphers use cameras that can take multiple pictures a second) So why not use a picture of a neutral expression at the very least?

They love to use this "Photo Trick" on people they don't like, remeber all the unflatytering mid word gesture or speacking pictuires they took of George Bush during his prwesidency. Or any of the other people on the right they take pictures of and use the most unflattering one they can find in their little news stories...

Mia should remind them that Abe Lincoln freed the slaves from Democrat ownership, and now those with any ambition are FREE to be whatever they have gumption enough to work for.

Granted, many if not most have been robbed of their gumption and initiative by allowing themselves to be suckered back onto the plantation by the the Rats. But the few like Mia deserve to be encouraged, not villified.

Even the title; “Mia Faces Criticism....”

This is “Criticism”? Really? I’d say elevating “Race traitor” to the level of “criticism” is quite the equivalent of elevating the disgusting insect Al Sharpton to the level of White House advisor. This is the fetid puke of an disciplined, wanton, verminlike mind that would make anyone uttering it ashamed, except there’s no room for an emotion or thought like shame inside such a cesspool of submoronic thought.

Mia Love is a woman of grace and class. Very unlike female Black American, media, and Hollywood critics.

So if you have to be a liberal to be truly black, what do you have to be to be truly white?

I guess it means that Sheila Jackson Lee, Corinne Brown, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Frederica Wilson, and Maxine Waters are “shining examples” for their race..

ATTENTION ALL LIBTARDS:

That recently elected CongressCritter:
1. Won an election in Utah - live with it.
2. Is black - accept it, her fellow Utahans did.
3. Won in a heavily Mormon state, thus disproving the “Mormons consider Black to be the accursed Children of Ham” canard - could Mormons be more accepting than a Libtard? Tell us it ain’t so . . . . .

On second thought, let’s be nice to our Libtard friends because this is a very stressful time for them.

First they ignore you.

Then they insult you.

Then they fight you.

Then you win.
