Why are you a democrat?

What is it about democrats that is so appealing? Do some research into the party and you will find a snake pit of corruption, sexism, homophobia, and racism unparallel in politics. Hypocrisy unrivaled by any political party.
Civil rights was the enemy of the democrat party. I know this because I watched it happen.
Here is what the democrats did for civil rights. Medgar Evers was murdered by Byron De La Beck a prominent democrat and member in good standing with the KKK. While in jail he was visited by the governor of Mississippi to show his support for the man. The governor was also a prominent democrat.
Did you know that in the south you could not get elected to any office unless you were first a member in good standing with the KKK and then you had to be a democrat.
When there were civil rights marches in the south the good democrats would attack the people marching. They turned police dogs on the crowds and used fire hoses to break up the peaceful protests. This was all done by democrat officials. Yet they want you to believe it was the mean old republicans that were the ones doing this.
How about gay rights?
It was the democrats that tried to rid the city of gays in New York under the guise of family values. Yes, there was a republican mayor when the tipping point was reached but it was started by the previous democrat administration and continued by the democrat police chief.
It is fun to see how the democrats point to Senator Strom Thurmond as a republican racist. No one seems to remember that he was a member in good standing in the democrat party, left the party to run for president lost his bid then joined the Republican Party after he renounced racism as a condition of joining the party. Why is it that the democrats don’t demand this from their members? Any democrat that was a member of the KKK has never had to renounce his allegiance to racism as a condition to being a member of the party. Hell, the Kennedy boys never had to repudiate their father who supported Adolf Hitler during the Second World War. Could it be that the democrats welcome the ideas of Hitler?
More racism:
During the 60’s and 70’s the welfare system was running out of people, they were getting jobs and leaving welfare. So the great idea was that people did not know what the government could do for them so they went out and recruited people to leave work and go on the public teat. Their reasoning was that poor and minorities could not cope with working for a living and needed government assistance to raise their quality of life. My sister was a licensed clinical psychologist with a disability was sucked into that and stayed on welfare until her death from her disability. My sister was borderline, she could work but did not have to because the family could take care of her. She reasoned why we should do it, when the government would do it. For others it was much worse. In order to get on welfare you could not have a stable family, the man had to leave in order to get this free money. The government took over as head of the house. Family break-ups were the rule of the day. This kept the family in need of the government.
Schools and racism: Instead of treating each school as either good or bad by the teachers teaching, poor schools were disadvantaged by the system because they got less money. Or so the lie goes. One of the best schools was an all black or at the time (negro) school in Washington D.C. they had ten year old school books yet were in the top 5% of the nation in academic achievement. I know this because my stepfather was one of those students tested. Once it became known that white kids in democrat areas were being bested by Negros we had federally mandated school bussing. This part is great instead of bussing white kids to black schools they bussed black kids to white schools. Your classmate is now ten miles away so if you needed to discuss class work or stay after school on a project you had to find your own way home. Get the kid up at 6AM to catch the bus and get you to a school by 8AM you are already up two hours before your class mates. Who has the advantage by the end of the day? The logical thing would be to keep the kids in a local school and demand more from the teachers. That was the purpose of no child left behind but it was written by Senator Ted (Adolf) Kennedy so it was doomed to fail. The Washington School system spends $14K per student per year and produced the lowest number of graduates per year. A private school, a moderately good private school charges between three and eight thousand a year per student with a 90 % graduation rate in the D.C. area. Smarter kids make for smarter citizens which make for a smarter electorate. Smart people are bad for crooked racist politicians. I went to private school because my mother, Single most of my life, my father died when I was four and my stepfather was worthless as a parent. She was a NYC cop and strict democrat. My aunt is now a retired school principal and a democrat. Her husband my uncle on my fathers side was the only republican I knew growing up. He was a cop and had a real estate business.
I sent my first child to school in India because they had better schools and drugs were not going to screw up his life. Out of my three children only one my daughter is a democrat, unwed mother and only the fact that she is not an American citizen keeps her off of welfare. She went to public school at the insistence of her mother. My youngest child was home schooled and will be starting his own business when he turns 22 this year. I hope and pray.
I am not saying that democrats are the root of all evil in the country. I just wonder why people flock to a party that is historically racist and corrupt.
So if you rely on the government to take care of you then you must be a liberal and they are recruiting again. If you want to stand on your own two feet and possibly fail a few times before you get rich you are a conservative. If you are on the fence you are most likely a republican.
