It’s nice to see that America is finally taking this day seriously. I know M&T closed early today to honor the day. This is the celebration of the day in our history when Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans finally ended the “peculiar institution” of slavery that was supported and, in fact propagated, by the Democratic Totalitarians. And ever since, the entire social policy debate in America has been driven by the effort of the Democratic Totalitarians to regain mastery over the black Americans who were freed. Welfare, public housing, methadone clinics and dozens of other programs have been deliberately designed to weaken and destroy black families in this country. Any Democratic Totalitarian who denies this lies in his heart.
