We can't change history...


Until we realize as a nation that #KKK and #BLM are nothing more than forms of segregation and start working together because #ALM then we are going to keep going backwards in America.

A friend of mine said recently, "We have made a complete 180 in this country and we are marching backwards as though we are moving forward."

That statement hits it right on the head. We are rapidly marching back into the 1950's and pretending that we are progressing. We made huge strides in eliminating racism in the 2nd half of the 20th Century but now we seem to miss it and want to go back. Not all of us want that but it is happening. Just think about how far we advanced since The Civil Rights Act of 1964 which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It was the greatest thing to happen for racism since Abraham Lincoln. However, for the last couple of years we have been trying to throw all of that progress away. I'm Irish and my people were slaves but not any of us that are alive today. I can't be mad about something that happened 150 years ago. Do you realize that most of us doing the complaining about something that happened before our time wouldn't even be in America if our ancestors hadn't been slaves? We may not have been born at all.

There is a lady in my state in Louisville, KY who is a #BLM leader who has issued a list of demands from white people because her ancestors were slaves. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. One of her demands is that we put black families in our wills so they can receive our money and property when we die. Everybody seems to want something for nothing. As I stated before, I'm Irish and my people were slaves so am I considered white? Should my possessions go to people that haven't earned them? Who is supposed to give me free stuff because my people were slaves? It's a ridiculous concept. If we want something we have to earn it. Sticking our hands out and demanding something is not the way to get it.

We are rapidly heading down the path to another civil war and if you can't see that you're brainwashed or you're wearing blinders. I'm not sure how this civil war will play out but it's coming. Will it be blacks against whites? Democrats against Republicans? North against South? History preservers against history destroyers? A combination of all of the above? That would be a very confusing war, and for what? Because of things that happened before we were born. Think about how stupid that is. Think about how many people will lose their lives over a past that can't be changed. You can tear down our history and pretend that it never happened but it will still be there. You can remove it from history books and television but it will still be there. People are attacking statues, TV shows, movies, they are even attacking Gone With The Wind. What would happen if a theater tried to show Roots now? These movies only depict the truth of our history. Things that actually happened. Things that future generations can learn from. Take these things away and they are doomed to repeat history because they'll have no frame of reference of how it used to be.

Separation of Church and State

Did you know a recent poll demonstrated that 67% of Americans believe the phrase separation of church and state is found in the first amendment of the constitution? That phrase isn’t found in the first amendment or anywhere else in the constitution. In the year 1800, Thomas Jefferson was the newly elected President of the United States. A group of Baptists in Danbury, Connecticut heard the rumor that Thomas Jefferson was going to establish the congregational denomination as the state denomination. They wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson protesting this rumor that the congregational church was going to be the state church. And so Thomas Jefferson on January 1, 1802 wrote this letter to the Baptists. “I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof thus building a wall of separation between church and state.’” Jeffers...

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall - John Dickinson 1768 Those words used to mean something to all Americans.  Our forefathers understood the importance of this philosophy.  We still understood the importance of this as late as the 21st Century.  September 11, 2001, a tragic day in America.  The ones of us who are old enough to remember that day remember exactly where we were when we got the news.  We also remember the impact.  Immediately after 9/11 flag sales skyrocketed.  We raised our flags high and proudly.  We were ready to come together and fight.  Nothing else mattered.  Not political affiliation, not race, not financial status, nothing.  We truly were #AmericaFirst.  When exactly did being Americans and wanting to take care of America first become a bad thing to some?  How could it possibly become a bad thing?  Who or what changed the way some Americans think?  At what point did we become more concerned...

The Truth About The Democratic Party

Did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history? When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect.   Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination. The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s. In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely. This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by t...
