The Party of the Big Lie

HOUMA, La. - A white state lawmaker in a runoff election called a black civil-rights veteran who had helped her campaign "Buckwheat," angering the NAACP, which urged voters to kick her out of office.

Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez, a Democrat, acknowledged that she ended a Thursday night conversation with Hazel Boykin by saying, "Talk to you later, Buckwheat." Dartez had been thanking Boykin for driving voters to the polls.

Buckwheat, a black child character in the "Little Rascals" comedies of the 1930s and '40s, is viewed as a racial stereotype.

Boykin, 75, helped desegregate restaurants and the parish school system in the 1960s. Her son, Jerome, is president of the Terrebonne Parish chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"I've never had no one talk to me that way, and I considered it a racial slur," Hazel Boykin said. "I know the meaning of it; it's just like the N-word."

On Monday, Jerome Boykin held a news conference asking voters to cast ballots against Dartez, who faces Republican Joe Harrison in Saturday's runoff.

"The NAACP is going to do all it can to see that she is not re-elected," he said. "At this point, the NAACP is not concerned about the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. If a Republican is elected because of her racist remarks, that's her responsibility." Dartez did not immediately return a call Monday.

"I made an insensitive comment, and I regret my choice of words," she said Friday. "I have apologized to both Hazel and Jerome Boykin. The Boykin family has been a huge help in my campaign for re-election, and I did not mean to offend them."

But Hazel Boykin said Dartez still has not personally apologized.

Dartez has represented parts of Terrebonne, St. Mary and Assumption parishes since 1999. She has said she does not intend to drop out of the race. Link

   Aside from the fact that this Dartez 'person' is far too stupid to be running water, much less for public office, this tableau illustrates, what to me, is the very saddest aspect of the Left in general and liberals and Democrats specifically. If it were not for minorities, there would be no Democratic party. It would've disappeared in the 50s, when the Democratic party was the segregationist party and the party of 'State's rights.' The party of Lester Maddox and George Wallace. The party of KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd (Sen D-WVa.). The Dixiecrat Party.

   John F. Kennedy saved the Democratic party from itself - in spite of itself. And in so doing, in his short tenure, he was able to convince minorties, primarily blacks, that the Democrats had their best interests at heart. LBJ saw the light and the wisdom of that strategy and the 'New Democratic' party was born. Only one problem - the only thing that changed was that the racism, paternalism, and patronizing went underground. By no means did it go away.

   I've heard so many black folks say they prefer overt and blatant racism to what comes from the Left. The Left pays lip service to your face, but you ain't nothin' but a nigger when they sit around and talk and think nobody's listening. Why minorities do not, cannot or refuse to grasp that is beyond me. I suppose they may actually believe that hand outs equate to hand shakes. Those few dollars may seem like something in the short run, but in the grand scheme of things, the Left, the Democratic party, can only survive if they keep minorities begging. And that they do so very well.

   There is nothing so repulsively hypocritical as a liberal. They will spend YOUR money to buy votes from people they'll only speak to when there's something in it for them. As soon as they've gotten whatever they wanted - be it power, votes or ego strokes - liberals scuttle back to their own, like so many cockroaches. The one thing they fear most is the light of day. This ugly little story exposes them to that light.

   But, you won't be hearing about this tomorrow. They'll still be up in arms about "Dog' Chapman, Don Imus or whoever the hapless non-liberal who gets caught making a real or perceived slur might be tomorrow. As long as the race baiters can keep the focus on 'da man' and not on themselves, they'll continue to win elections. And the dirty little secret of their hypocrisy will go unoticed and unconfronted for yet another generation. With apologies to Martin Luther King, I have a dream, too. I dream that someday we'll all wake up and recognize what the Left has perpetuated on this society for over 60 years and see it for what it is - contrived classism, invented racism and manufactured economic disparity for the sake of their own political power.

   Just remember this, nothing's as bad as the Left would have you believe - they can only thrive in misery. Their very existence requires unrest, instability, racial strife, economic uncertainty, class disparity and general malaise - perceived or manufactured. Without those things there'd be no reason to consider granting them power. Who in their right mind would vote for someone who promised to take more of their hard-earned money unless they'd been scared sufficiently by the constant repetition of 'how bad things are?'

After awhile, you start believing it. Or ...

“A lie told often enough becomes truth” Vladimir Lenin.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Joseph Goebbels.

Spread the word!

I love it when you write something I covet... Way to unwrap that truth.
