Author Oleg Atbashian presents his book to a libertarian/conservative group Liberty on the Rocks in Colorado Springs, August 23, 2011.

Oleg Atbashian is a writer and graphic artist from the former USSR. Born and raised in Ukraine, he used to be a teacher, a translator, a worker, a freelance journalist, and at one time a propaganda artist, creating visual agitprop for the local Party committee in a Siberian town. In 1994, he emigrated to the USA hoping to live in a country that was ruled by reason and common sense. Ironically, he now lives in New York City. He is the creator ofThePeoplesCube.com, a satirical website where he writes under the name of Red Square.

I have done extensive research on the subject because at one point, I was a Democrat. A few years ago, I was confronted with a fact that I knew to be false but after an investigation into the point, it turned out to be true. It was that Martin Luther King was a Republican.

This of course forced me to extend my research into other areas. What else could this Political Science Major be unaware of? The Truth became stranger than fiction. The list is quite long so here we go.

President Kennedy had little intention of enacting a Comprehensive Civil Rights Law during his 2 years in office. Tensions in society were running so high due to the riots and such that by the 1963 State of the Union address he had no other choice but to enact some kind of Law. Mind you, for the previous 100 years, it had only been the Republican Party who had supported any Civil Rights Legislations (I was not aware of these facts until I was 35 years old);

13th Amendment: 100% Republican Support Abolished Slavery
23% Democratic Support

14th Amendment 94% Republican Support Slaves to be Citizens
0% Democratic Support

15th Amendment 100% Republican Support Right to Vote for All
0% Democratic Support

CRA 1866 Enacted by the Republican Party Equal Rights

CRA 1871 Enacted by the Republican Party Anti-KKK

CRA 1875 99% Republican Support Anti-Discrimination
0% Democratic Support

———–It took another 82 years until the next Civil Rights Act———
———–The Democratic Party blocked every attempt to equalize citizens of color—–

CRA 1957 Enacted by the Eisenhower (R) Administration
Then Senator Kennedy Voted against this Bill
Filibustered by Democrats

CRA 1960 Enacted by the Eisenhower (R) Administration
The final version was watered down by then Senator LBJ
Filibustered by the Democrats

CRA 1964 82% Republican Support
63% Democratic Support

CRA 1965 87% Republican Support
Voting Rights 75% Democratic Support

I do not want the “government” to treat me any differently than any other citizen. Therefore, I consider equality of opportunity and equal voting rights to be the summation of Civil Rights in America. If anything extra is afforded me or anyone else merely due to the color of their skin, I consider that to be an entitlement and patronizing.

Given my above statement, the Democratic Party, even if you sectionalize them by North and South, has never outvoted the Republican Party in any Civil Rights Law…Ever. The actual numbers play out like this;

Lifetime Republican Party support for Equal Rights for all Citizens: 94%
Lifetime Democratic Party Support for Equal rights for all Citizens: 35%

Now to the point of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This was a proposal that the Republican Party, during the Eisenhower Administration attempted to put forth but alas, their efforts resulted in the first Civil Rights Law in the previous 82 years…The Civil Rights Act of 1957 formed a Commission on Civil Rights. The Plan of the Commission was to eventually enact the very Comprehensive Law of 1964. Remember, this was the Bill that Senator JFK voted against, for political aspirations I’m sure.

JFK had his Justice department write the original Bill in early 1963. The first version passed the House but stalled in the Senate. Everett McKinley Dirksen (R), the minority leader in the Senate took it upon himself to REWRITE the entire Bill. It took him 1 weekend and he had 2 helpers, 1 Democrat and another Republican.

The final version of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was written by a Republican which means that since the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, every Civil Rights Law was written by a Republican with more Republican support than Democratic Party Support.

Due to Dirksen’s tenacity, a cloture vote was successful and the Senate passed the Bill. It then passed the Houses and became Law.

Some notes about its passage;

Robert Byrd (D) filibustered the Bill…the longest filibuster in American History
William Fulbright (D) voted against the Bill. He was Bill Clinton’s mentor.
Al Gore Sr. (D) voted against the Bill

Speaking to two Governors on Air Force One, then President LB Johnson was quoted saying, “”I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” according Ronald Kessler’s Book in relation to the Law.

So now let’s explore the Dixicrats. This has always been misrepresented. I wrote about it in my book, and I also made a video of it. Here is the video:

The big question is, did the South really turn “Red” after the CRA of 1964? Well, I researched that also and found the following conclusions.

Presidential Elections (covering “The Solid South”)
The 11 Former Confederate States

Year Blue States Red States

1964 6 5
1968 6 (Segregationist Wallace took 5) 5
1972 Landslide
1976 Landslide
1980 Landslide
1984 Landslide
1988 Landslide
1992 4 7
1996 4 7
2000 0 11
2004 0 11
2008 3 8

At least in Presidential elections, the Solid South wasn’t so “solid” until at least the year 2000 or 36 years after the CRA of 1964.

Now let’s take a look at the Governorships.

Governorships since 1964
(The 11 former “Confederate States”)

State Blue Red Years until a “Red” Gov. was elected

Georgia 7 2 39 years
Mississippi 8 2 28 years
Alabama 9 3 23 years
Louisiana 6 4 16 years
Texas 5 4 15 years
South Carolina 5 5 11 years
Arkansas 9 3 9 years
North Carolina 7 2 9 years
Tennessee 5 4 7 years
Virginia 7 5 6 years
Florida 7 5 3 years

Total 75 39

That’s almost 2 to 1 Blue over Red. I looked at the facts and not the rhetoric. The facts point to a different conclusion all together. The South did not become “Solid Red” after the CRA of 1964.

After finding out that both Martin Luther King Sr. and Jr. were Republicans, I tend to deal only in facts and not with what I’ve been told.

Last Points

My former party, The Democratic Party says that they are for the “minority”. In this case, I’ll just say “blacks”. I believe in neither black nor minority but I defer to their thinking for this discussion. If that’s the case, then how could the following piece of history have been erased?

Ninety-nine percent of the country does not know the name Hiram Rhodes Revels. Here is his story and why the Democrats are not for “black” people.

At the end of the Civil War, Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, was captured and subsequently imprisoned for 2 years. Prior to this time period, Mr. Davis was a Senator from the State of Mississippi. In 1870, the State of Mississippi filled the vacant post of Mr. Davis with one Hiram Rhodes Revels. The curious fact behind this exchange is that now Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels did not only replace the President of the Confederacy, but he was also the First Black Senator in U.S. History…and virtually nobody knows his name.

One last point to explain this lack of universal knowledge…Jefferson Davis, The President of the Confederacy was a Democrat and his replacement, Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels, was a Republican. Democratic leadership today will never share that history with their constituents of which I once was. That led me to believe that the Democratic Party is more interested in my vote than the Truth.

It gets bit deeper. 13 former slaves became members of Congress between 1870 and 1901. We as a nation killed our own citizens in a Civil War to FREE 4 Million slaves. 13 of those freed slaves became members of the U.S. Congress and the history books are silent to this fact. 640,000 Americans died in that war and the result was transformational yet, this groundbreaking and profound history is never taught in “left” leaning schools because it does not serve their agenda. All 13 of the former slaves were Republicans. I had to sift through the Library of Congress to reveal the following information…here it is for you in a video;

My belief is that the Party’s did not change. The tactics changed. They went from Pro-Slavery to Pro-Segregation to Pro-Entitlement, all of which results in nothing beneficial for the prosperity of an individual and is considered by many of my ilk, “Plantation Politics”.

All I want is the Truth and to be treated as an equal, no more and no less; as an equal. I do not need the Democratic Party telling me that I’m “black” or that I’m a minority who needs their assistance. I am not a color. I am Frantz Kebreau, an American Citizen.

For the Democratic Party, it has always been about “Control” over Freedom. Keeping the Truth from it’s constituents in order to maintain control over them is not what I want from my “Party”

“The Truth Shall Set You Free!!”

A lot has happened since my last posting, and I wont’ even attempt to summarize everything up to now. But for me, the most significant news item in the last few weeks has been Weinergate. Anthony Weiner finally resigned from Congress the other day, and good riddance to bad rubbish.

The fact that Democrat Congressmen can still be shamed out of office gives me hope. I’m not hopeful that LibProg Dems will ever become moral creatures. I’m hopeful, not delusional. What sustains me is the thought that Weiner’s antics are still repulsive to many people; enough, anyway, to cause him to slink away to whatever rock he can crawl under. So there is still real hope for this country.

LibProg Dems, however, are a lost cause and simply must be defeated. There is no other option, no halfway “reaching across the aisle” crap. Creeping progressivism got us here, teetering on the edge of an economic precipice that threatens our way of life and the lives of succeeding generations of Americans far into the future. It’s just crazy. LibProgism is undiluted insanity.

Public employees are indispensable. No city or town can do without its firefighters, police, paramedics, sanitation workers, and so on. Even the tiniest of municipalities need people to sweep the floors of City Hall, stuff sheets of paper into manilla folders, round up stray dogs and cats, and so on. I have no idea how many city, county, state, and federal employees there are in Brownsville, but there must be quite a few.

Public employees are indispensable, but it really irks me when I read about public employees threatening to strike over benefits, pay, or whatever. At some point, collective bargaining becomes a euphemism for a shakedown, for extortion. You don’t want to cross firefighters or the police because . . . Why, exactly? If the city doesn’t give in to the demands of, say, the firefighters union, will they decide to no longer put out fires? Or will they continue in their capacity as firefighters, only in a somewhat more diminished capacity, meaning they’ll take their time getting to the blaze?

So we’ve gotten to the point where over the years public employees have demanded and been given class “A” benefit packages and retirement benefits that were unsustainable and unrealistic back when they were instituted, but were instituted anyway. And we’re broke.

Scary stuff.

Snippet: “In terms of generosity, they’re a little sneakier on this one. They purport to be the party of gimme gimme gimme, but that hinges on being the party of takey, takey, takey. This is how they keep the serfs in their place and dependent on the overlord.”

The Rise of the LEFT Under OBAMA

By Jon Bauman
Woodlands, TEXAS

Happy New Year???

My prediction for 2011 is that it will be dominated by federal regulatory excesses; so much so that the conventional wisdom that Obama is going to “move to the center” to “ensure his re-election” will, once again, be shown to be as misguided as ever.

The challenge to Republicans will be to expose this over-the-top regulation as the unconstitutional power grab it is, stop it, and make sure Obama gets appropriately tarnished as the LEFTIST he is in the process. We are going to witness so much outrageous regulatory abuse that it will be a huge challenge for Congress to keep on top of it.  And, to the extent Congress cannot meet this challenge, be prepared for considerable loss of freedom and significant increases in taxes masquerading as higher costs.This is not a hard prediction to make, since it has already started.  In the couple of weeks, we have:

A Commentary by Tony Blankley
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
 
Not long after the Tea Party sprang into being in the spring of 2009, America’s Progrssive Elites started vilifying the movement.  In an article worthy of a class-action libel suit, The New York Review of Books depicted the Tea Party’s first march on Washington as a parade of bigots.
Ex-president Jimmy Carter spit venom at Tea Partiers by saying they resented an African-American president — a stupid baseless charge of racism willingly echoed by the media.

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
 
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world’s largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature: It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:

A lot of information came out about our Socialist Democrat US. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz during the three-part series of articles in a local daily concerning his travels, allegedly on our behalf over the past few years. One of the most alarming concerns is his thinking that he can fool us about the substance and meaning of the travels. Also, he, himself, still will not explain himself. Instead, he uses the old trick of having one of his serfs do the explaining. .

He expects us to believe that he and a few other Congressmen had some effect on diverting the North Koreans from their nuclear ambitions. Come on, Solomon. Congressmen can do nothing to change another government’s actions. Diplomacy is conducted by the administrative branch through its diplomats. All the rest is window dressing. The North Koreans simply told Ortiz what he wanted to hear. And, again, where are the jobs in what industries that Ortiz gained from a number of trips to China?

In the last few days we caught up with Blake Farenthold, the Republican candidate for U.S. District 27 in Congress. We had a phone conversation in which he laid down his aspirations should he win the support of the people in the district represented poorly by Ortiz over 27 years.

Farenthold attended a Catholic high school before gaining a bachelor of science degree in radio, television and film from the University of Texas at Austin. Later, he obtained his law degree from St. Mary’s University at San Antonio. He practiced law for seven years in the agricultural area, and then grew a computer consulting firm to 15 employees before selling out. Before entering the race for Congress, he co-hosted a conservative radio talk show in Corpus.

Farenthold wants less government as he says, “Get out of our hair!” A campaign slogan he has adopted reads, “If you elect me, I’ll work hard to do less.”

While he does not think the opposition to Obamacare will be strong enough in the new Congress to repeal it, he does plan to work to deflect as much of it as is possible to cripple it.

He is opposed to government bail outs and believes that nobody is too big to fail. Government help should not be used to save businesses. The Fannie and Freddy episodes have proven, he continued, that government cannot force banks to loan money to those who cannot pay back the funds.

Concerning immigration, Farenthold said the federal government let illegals come in as an underclass. He would work for a plan that makes it easier for legal immigrants to enter after background checks and the presentation of proof that a job is waiting. He further believes the border patrol is hamstrung by laws, rules and regulations that obstruct their actions. The border patrol needs the resources and then the military to lend support. He also is in favor of the use of more of the unmanned aircraft for surveillance.

Farenthold believes in less government spending and taxes. Jobs are critical, he believes, so capital gains taxes need to be reduced along with the rules and regulations that hold back expansion here.

Concerning Ortiz’ travels, Farenthold reminds that big supporters helped pay and that some are in jail for smuggling in Chinese.

“Ortiz should do his traveling into his district,” Farenthold concluded.

Over the past months the reader has read a huge number of reasons why Ortiz is inimical to the best interests of our country and our district. You have two choices in sending him home. All things considered, to work within the system that we are burdened with, Farenthold should get the votes. Make it happen folks!
