Here's something that I wrote up after Pelosi and her rats went back 90 years in their Armenian Resolution:

110th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. RES.

October 19, 2007
No sponsor – a suggestion to Congress

RESOLUTION

A resolution to condemn the Democrat Party of the United States for their support, in the years preceding the War of Secession, of continued slavery within the United States;
their support of the slave trade from the African nations;
their lack of resolve to relieve the African peoples from the suffering caused by the slave trades, including the inhumane conditions aboard the ships that transported the slaves to this Nation;
and to condemn the Democrat party for their many member’s opposition to the Civil Rights Laws of 1964.
Resolved,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This resolution may be cited as the `Unveiling of Double Standards Resolution.’

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The House of Representatives finds the following:

1. Whereas Slavery was a legal institution within the United States until the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, which specified that the slaves would be free people on the first day of January, 1863;
2. Whereas the opposition to the Proclamation consisted of the Democrat party and the Whig party;
3. Whereas the human suffering, including beatings, mutilation, rape and torture legalized by the slave trade was well known to citizens of the United States and their elected and appointed representatives;
4. Whereas the Republican party was founded upon the desire to end slavery in the United States;
5. Whereas the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, and not any of the previous presidents who were members of the Democrat party;
6. Whereas many members of the Democrat party did not support the desire to end slavery;
7. Whereas the Democrat Party’s opposition to ending slavery resulted in the continued suffering of many peoples, and possible deaths of those who were enslaved. 8. Whereas 73% of the Congressmen who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were members of the Democrat party;

SEC. 3. DECLARATION OF POLICY.
The House of Representatives--
(1) calls upon the schools of this nation to properly educate the students as to the true record of the Democrat Party in their opposition to end of slavery in the United States, and for all media sources (printed, broadcast, and electronic) to do the same.

I would agree with you that there’s an appalling double standard regarding the records of the two parties on racial issues. However, a resolution such as this would be horrendous. It would quickly devolve into just another attack on America and its institutions. And to include the draconian 1964 Civil Rights Act in the resolution would be icing on the cake for those who wish to write pre-sixties America out of existence as a civilized society.

Why don’t we just stop the pretence and apologize for America’s existence and for the arrival of Europeans here in the first place?
