1) BACK TO BASICS
There are so many of you who are new followers that you probably haven't seen a lot of my longer screeds that explain some of my positions. So I'd like to take a moment this morning to review.
2) Basic 1:
The DemoKKKrats are the Party of Slavery.
Why?
As explained in my "Seven Events that Made America" & in "Patriot's History of the US," in 1820 Martin Van Burn, state congressman from NY, was jolted (as was Jefferson) by passage of the Missouri Compromise.
3)This concerned him because he thought it meant civil war. His reasoning: the MC set an imaginary line (34/30) at the bottom of Missouri: any new state entering the Union ABOVE that line MUST be free (virtually all). At the time, Dakotas, MN, IA, NE, KS, ID, WY, MT, CO.
4) To MVB, this meant that very soon, the free states could vote slavery out of existence. He knew the South wouldn't tolerate that. War would follow.
5) His solution was brilliant & horrific & affects us to this day.
6) Create a new political party.
7) This new party HAD to somehow attract anti-slave northerners or "don't care" northerners as well as southerners. How?
8) Bribe them. Give them jobs--party jobs, gubment jobs (local, state, fed)--in return for getting out the vote for the party.
9) The better you were at getting out the vote, the higher you rose in the job/$ structure.
10) This ENSURED gubment at all levels would grow steadily from then on. Always.
11) But there was a little more to his scheme.
12) They party MUST preserve & protect slavery. Remember, an attack on slavery meant civil war.
13) So--review--MVB set up a new political party called the DemoKKKrats to PROTECT AND PRESERVE SLAVERY.
14) A Guy named Jesus said you can't get good fruit from a bad tree.
15) That's why, ultimately, there can be no "good DemoKKKrats." They are ALL from a "bad tree" of slavery.
16) But MVB still needed more to prevent a war. STATES had to supercede the federal gubment. ("States' rights"). Always remember, the phrase "states rights" . . .
. . . whatever it means later, in THAT day meant "states' rights to have slavery." That's ALL it meant. Don't give me garbage about the "tariff." That was a facade for opposition to emancipation.
17) Last, MVB needed the presidency.
18) This is where it got a little tricky. He knew no southern slaveholder as of 1821 would ever again be elected president. But "westerners" (such as Andy Jackson or Harrison or Polk) were acceptable, deemed "free" of slavery (even though all had owned slaves at one time).
19) The other option than a westerner was a northerner who would support slavery by inaction. As one historian put it, "a northern man of southern principles."
20) Armed with the new "spoils system" of paying people to get out the vote, DemoKKKrats dominated til 1860.
They did have opposition after 1830--a RINO-type party called the Whigs. What was interesting about the Whigs was that they like the modern RINOs wanted to avoid the "big issues" (abortion now, slavery then). So they never took a stand on slavery. "Do what you want."
21) Not surprisingly, we only had two Whig presidents (Harrison & Taylor). Both died in office. Neither did a damned thing before they died. EXCEPT . . .
22) Did I mention that the "spoils system" caused gubment to grow? Even with one party? Now you have two.
23) What did you have to do to get elected? Give away jobs. Except now you have two parties COMPETING to give away jobs.
24) Gubment growth accelerated, even under so-called "small gubment" guys like Jackson. Couldn't help it. It's called the "Spoils System" or patronage.
25) So beginning with MVB gubment grows & gets more power with every election but slavery appears safe cuz you have a westerner (Harrison, Polk, Jackson) or a "northern man of southern principles" (no dealing w slavery) every election (Taylor, Pierce, MVB, Fillmore, Buchanan)
26) They do flip flops to avoid touching slavery.
27) And DemoKKKrats had the Supreme Court since 1836.
28) The infamous Roger Taney, Chief Justice from MD, rendered the worst decision in American history prior to Roe,Dred Scott.
29) THAT decision caused the Panic of 1857.
30) Meanwhile in 1855 you got a new party, one that for the first time ever took up the issue of slavery. Admittedly, it was only slavery in the territories--I'll explain in another thread why that was critically important--but they did take up the issue.
31) Right out of the box, a party that stood for freedom nearly won the election of 1856. They needed only 3 states.
32) Then came the thunderbolt. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln, a Republican--a NORTHERN MAN OF NORTHERN PRINCIPLES--won. Guess what he now headed?
33) This big, powerful gubment that had grown steadily for 30 years--but nobody noticed cuz it was in the "right hands."
34) Uh oh. Now it's in the "wrong" hands.
35) If this sounds familiar, this is EXACTLY what happened in 2016 when the . . .
. . . massive, spoils-driven, RINO/DemoKKKrat gubment that had controlled things since Reagan fell into the hands of one
- Donald John Trump.
