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.

Why the electoral college?

There is a very good reason that we are a republic instead of a democracy.  It's the only way to make things fair for everyone.  Each state is worth a certain number of electoral votes according to how many representatives they have.  Whichever presidential candidate gets the popular vote of a specific state gets the electoral votes of that state.  This gives every state a say in who the president will be.  If we were a democracy and went with the popular vote as a whole then California, New York, and other states with the most concentrated populations would determine every president.  The people that live in less populated states might as well stay home and not vote.  Presidential candidates that understand how the system works get out and campaign for the electoral votes.  Presidential candidates that don't understand how the system works get out and campaign for the popular vote.  The popular vote overall doesn't mean a thing but the po...

Illegal Children of Illegal Parents

         I haven't written in this blog for a long time but I feel it's time because people are losing their minds.  I'd like to start with one very important question: What is your solution of what to do with the children?       The options are very limited.  The parents have broken the law and are detained.  Logically, what choices does that leave us with for the children?  Do we send them home with no parents or maybe to live with relatives in their country?  We are feeding them, housing them, and providing people to watch over them.  This is all being done with the taxpayer money of Americans and it's not even being done for Americans.  I would think people would be grateful.  The parents broke the law and got in trouble.  What happens to American kids when this happens?  They are either taken in by relatives or they become a ward of the state.  How is this different?  They ar...

KKK History Lesson

For some reason, recently, people have been associating the KKK with Republicans and BLM with Democrats. This is all propaganda that is being fed to us. Here’s a little history lesson and an explanation of why: Both the KKK and BLM were created by Democrats. You didn't expect me to say that did you? Actually, the KKK wasn't started to be a black and white thing. The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white. For decades the KKK harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats. An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964. Republicans often led the efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws and their platforms consistently called for a ban on lynching. Democrats successfully blocked those bills and their platforms never did condemn lynchings. Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to g...
