Emancipation Draft of Sorts

In National Review on July 20, 2012 Allen C. Guelzo burned the midnight oil to post, at 4:00 A.M. Emancipation: The Un-Holiday
Lincoln himself thought the proclamation “the great event of the nineteenth century."

He informed us that today, 22 July 2012, is the 150th anniversary of the reveal to Lincoln's cabinet of the proclamation, and then he layers on the usual fiction that Lincoln was just trying to be properly legal by freeing only the slaves in the parts of the world that were no longer party of the Union.  I have always found it curious that Lincoln never bothered with staying legal in other areas that were inconvenient for his quelling of a widespread rebellion, like suspending habeas corpus without so much as asking the Congress.

He asked for, and got, a progressive income tax from the Congress, that was properly thrown out as soon as the US Supreme Court got to hear the case.  You see, the Congress passed and Lincoln signed that piece of work knowing full well that it was illegal under the Constitution to directly tax income of individuals.  Yet, Honest Abe could not see it in his fiber to waive his top hat and free all of the slaves.

You were aware that Lincoln did not free any slaves in Union loyal areas, like New Orleans, Louisiana and Kentucky, right?  If not just set your favorite search engine to find the Emancipation Proclamation and read the whole thing.  The world of racial bigotry history, at least the version taught to people who pay good money expecting to learn, is full of the fiction we all heard that flies in the face of the two paragraphs preceding this one.

Here is another one, from over one hundred years after the American Civil War: Communists eliminated racism in Cuba.  Due to the fiction spread from their own fellow travelers, Eldridge Cleaver and Earl Andrew Ferrell, jumped parole and fled to Cuba.  Much to their surprise, they discovered White Communists ran everything in in Cuba!  After being released from Cuban prison, they hung around a few months and "moved" to Algiers.  Cleaver returned to the USA in 1975.

When Cleaver returned to the USA in 1975, CBS covered the news thusly:

Socialists Just Can't Help Themselves (Video)

Janeane Garafalo: National Socialist, Liberal Fascist

Here is a modern example of how the Socialistic Left likes to spin things around and then complain when they get caught in the undertow.  Below is a video of Janeane Garafalo and Keith Olberman calling people who just want the government to be fiscally responsible a bunch of "teabagging rednecks," racists, and other unkind things.  The closest that they come in the evidence category is hurling these ridiculous accusations.

How is a movement that began in response to Bush policies that a Democrat congress adopted supposed to be "racist" for that opposition?  Because they got more intense along with the policies?

They also accuse the Teaparty of creating birtherism.  Interesting accusation, since Hillary Clinton has never been associated with the Tea Party, yet it was her campaign that got the rumors rolling.  They were easy enough rumors to start, since Michelle Obama says her husband's home country is Kenya.  She was saying that well before Barack Hussein Obama was nominated and references to those words can now only be found on YouTube.Com, since those words have been erased from every transcript.

Candidate Obama claimed to have been conceived at the time of the famous Selma, Alabama march.  An event that happened about four years after his Hawaii birth certificate says that he was born.

In 2004 there was this news item:

Sunday, June 27, 2004

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations. The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative. Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

To Socialists like Garafalo and Olberman, every contradiction is the fault of their political opponents.  The term "racism" has been reduced to opposing a Socialist agenda and a Socialist president.


I visited this discussion earlier with this video.
