"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Vandals strike York County GOP headquarters

Vandals spray-painted the words “Republican means slavery” on the door of the York County GOP campaign headquarters overnight Friday.


Your public education tax dollars at work. Or maybe a bit of "if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes accepted as the truth". If schools focused more on teaching history instead of worrying so much about self-esteem these dimbulbs would have known that it was the first Republican President Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. It was the Republicans in Congress that LBJ needed to get his Civil Rights legislation passed. It was Republican President who pushed for legislation that enforced Brown v. Education and effectively ended the segregation in the military (that a Democrat President gets most of the credit for). It was a Republican President that set the first time tables and goals of affirmative action. And that it was Republicans that founded historically black colleges and universities and the NAACP (which is ironic as the organization has become so partisan for the DNC that its nickname NAACCP, or the 'National Association for the Advancement of Certain Colored People', isn't all that off).

Of course, if they taught that in school, they'd also be forced to teach that it was Democrats that fought Civil Rights legislation, that came up with Jim Crow laws, that fought segregation, that founded the KKK et cetera. Which would, of course, blow their perpetuated lie all to hell, thereby undermining the indoctrination center they've turned our school system into.

Can't have that, now can we?
