Left-wing KKK charges: Truth be damned (Anonymous 'outings' of Republicans)
WND ^ | November 5, 2015 | Phil Elmore

In politics, perception is reality. This is frustrating for those of us who believe the laws of the United States, not to mention U.S. governmental policy, should be based on reality rather than wishful thinking. Here is the main source of the divide between the right and the left in American politics: The right-winger believes his fellow human beings’ freedom of action is a benefit that accrues to all, while the left-winger believes your freedom to conduct your life as you see fit is a threat that must be “controlled” for the “common good.” The right-winger believes that we ought to make laws based on reality because to do otherwise is to invite self-destruction.

Thus, the right-winger opposes laws that disarm him and leave him helpless in the face of criminal violence, while the left-winger supports “gun control” and open borders. When the right-winger points out that violent illegal immigrants commit crimes like rape and murder in the United States out of proportion to their representation in society, the left-winger accuses the right-winger of racism. On and on it goes, with the right-winger supporting the Constitution as written and the left-winger voting to ignore it or pervert it based on his wishful thinking of what is in this “living document.” This is how our Supreme Court, packed with leftists, routinely finds “rights” not defined in the Constitution to be protected by that document, while ignoring explicit language forbidding certain laws the leftist justices help write from the bench.

The wishful thinking of left-wingers extends to a psychic ability to see within the hearts and minds of those they hate. Make no mistake; Left-wingers hate their ideological opponents and want them to die. They frequently give vent to these feelings; death threats and rape threats against conservatives and libertarians are common

Democrats made this guy leader of the Senate!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

__________________________________________________________

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

And designated him the “conscience of the Senate”, out of every potential senator who could have laid claim to that title. They know their own hypocrisy and revel in shoving in it in our faces.

It’s more about the investment of time than the difficulty of clicking a mouse. If a writer dances around the point for that long in an article like this, then they are a poor writer, and they’re surely going to waste more of my time if I bothered to click through and read the rest.
