The US Democratic Party prides itself on being all inclusive. They are the party that does not discriminate against anyone. They do, of course, discriminate if you are conservative minded or, heaven forbid, a Christian although they would never admit it.
The mean, old, rich, fat, white guys you see in the movies and on TV are almost always portrayed as Republicans. Without even thinking about it, if you were asked, your first impulse would be that he is a Republican. That’s what I always thought without questioning it. However, it is wrong. Dead wrong.

The Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats after the American Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln, who we all know freed the slaves during the Civil War, was a Republican. I remember being surprised when I first heard that he was a Republican because it didn’t fit into what I thought a Republican would do. Then I found out that it was the Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which provided “full and equal benefit of all laws” to ALL citizens. It was also the Republicans who tried and eventually succeeded in passing “anti-lynching” laws. It took a few generations to get this particular law passed because it was vetoed by the Democrats time and time again.
Ann Coulter has just released a new book entitled “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama”. In it she points out the hypocrisy of the Democrats--who have been playing the race card against the Republicans for the last 30 to 40 years. She also points out that "It was the Thirteenth Amendment which ended slavery and 80 percent of Democrats voted against it." The Republican Party has never been the racist party in the US. It was the Democrats.
Pay attention the next time you watch a movie that has a mean, old, rich, fat, white guy in it. You can bet your bottom dollar he will be a Republican!
