Rep. Louie Gohmert, Republican from Texas, introduced a resolution that would ban the Democratic Party, among other organizations, based on historical truths about the left’s embrace of racism and blatant support of slavery.
It’s a resolution that yes, is eye-widening — but at least it strikes the right spirit. At least it raises a valid point.

What a great low blow! The Democratic Party, the party of slavery, of the Civil War, of Jim Crow, the party of forced segregation, the party that voted against the Civil RIght's Act, should be stricken from the books and dissolved immediately. Hoist them up by their own petards and see how they try to slime their way out of it. Delicious!

Great idea. I read that 13 of the 15 statues to be removed from Congress are democrats.

I've said that since the beginning of all this nonsense -- the Democrat Party must be renamed b/c they are the party of the Slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, Eugenic Abortions, the Civil Rights Act FILIBUSTER, and now the Marxist BLM movement. Their new name needs to be the Socialist-Marxist Party so that their policy positions are abundantly clear to the outside world.

I've been emailing my two stumps on a log politicians for years that they need to change democrat name to socialist so they can start being truthful to their constituents because so far they are lying to them by calling themselves democrats. And it's ''democrat'' not ''democratic''. Nothing democratic about that party!!!!

I'm sure this was an article worthy of being read. Those that are not bothered by continuous pop-up ads and extraneous slide-in graphics can give us a short version. What I learned is that while many good ideas die aborning, the DNC will never change the name any more than a leopard cold change its spots.

#9 I agree about the pop-ups. There are times when all you get to see is a peephole of the article because it's all covered over with junk.

I think that the Democratic Party owes reparations to Blacks for its long history of racism: rabid support of slavery, leading to the Civil War; alignment with its militant arm, the Ku Klux Klan; Jim Crow laws that subjugated and disenfranchised Blacks for decades; opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and its Great Society programs that have continued to enslave Blacks in poverty, ignorance, and misery.

You can add, that the Democrat party (of the Union) platform in the 1864 election against Lincoln was to end the Civil War and let the South secede.
This would have enshrined slavery in the Southern Confederate States, as the Emancipation Proclamation would not likely be accepted in what comprised the South.
Or, in the parlance of Nancy Pelosi - the Confederacy will do what the Confederacy will do.

FTA: ~~"And if Democrats don’t want to be seen as the party of hypocrites, the least they could do is explain the points raised in the resolution — and perhaps, along the way, offer some shame-faced apologies for the way they’ve treated minorities over the decades. And then? And then they should at least publicly discuss the idea of a party name change. At least pay it some lip service, for crying out loud.
After all, as Gohmert said, “that is the standard to which they are holding everyone else.” Democrats, on racism, don’t deserve a free pass.

Great point #1. Why is this not more widly known. This is why the dems want history forgotten. Remember the dems are the party of the KKK and racist white supremacy. Why don't we keep telling thhe public that it was the dems who were the KKK and white supremesists.They were the slave owners and still to this day run inner cities like plantations. Take a look at this short video which talks about the 5 points used by the dems to keep blacks on the plantations are the same points used today to keep the blacks enslaved in the inner cities run by them. It is the dems who are the party of the KKK, white supremacists and racists to this day. They are also facists by trying to keep this truth from coming out. Dinesh Dsouza video.

I think they should be renamed, the "National Socialist Identifiers" party, or Nasi party, for short.

He is exactly correct. And on top of all that, who are the people who, for years, have denied black children an education, an opportunity to better themselves, you got it, the democratic/communist party. The party who rejects school choice, voucher programs and charter schools. The party that chooses the teachers union over the needs of the inner cities. The party that steals every dime that should be benefiting poor. You see the sad fact is that blacks have migrated from the plantations of the south to the democratic/communist plantations of today. Sad fact is, nothing has changed. Education was not allowed during the slavery days and in democratic/communist run today education is non existent. What's worse is that black families keep voting these same pure communists into office and they still don't get it. Wake up......

I join with Louis Gohmert in demanding that the Democrat Party be renamed, and that they publicly renounce their past, and pay reparations to the blacks for what they have done. The Democrat Party should be disbanded, and all statutes of Democrat politicians destroyed, all names on streets and Navy ships, removed. I demand that Pelosi be removed from Congress, and her and her female Democrat colleagues never allowed to wear their white KKK outfits again.

Yes, #22. And by far the worst recent offender was the black messiah of the demonrat party who ended school choice at the beginning of his reign of error and then enrolled his own daughters in a $40,000 per year private Quaker school. DC has the worst public schools in the country and Hussein took away the only hope that blacks had to get their kids a decent education.

Now we see why they want to pull down all the statues. In a few years no one will remember the forgotten history, so they then can repeat it.

Dem party should pay reparations.

Politicians have no money. We the People are the bank and reparations would be paid by US. They sure aren't using any personal money. Just like the settlements We paid for their sexual misbehavior.
Mostly, I think they should resign.
