The Commmunist & The Exalted Cyclops
The Communist & The Exalted Cyclops
In 1976, John Brennan voted for Gus Hall for president. Hall ran for the office 4 times, losing each time. Probably, because Gus Hall was also the leader of “The American Communist Party.” That’s right. John Brennan, a man of allegedly impeccable American bonifides, voted for the leader of The American Communist Party for president. The same year I voted for Jimmy Carter.
But, have no fear, because it was merely a youthful indiscretion. Or, so historical revisionists would have you believe. Much like Hillary Clinton’s fatherly mentor (according to her own statements) longtime Democratic Senator, Robert Byrd.
Byrd served as a U.S. Congressman for 6 years, then, as a Senator for another 50 years. He was also a leader and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, and eventually won the high office of “The Exalted Cyclops.”
This is not a joke.
Robert Byrd--being an ambitious fellow--even started his own chapter of the Klan in West Virginia in the early 1940’s, only a few short years before becoming a Congressman. Here is a direct quote from a letter written by Byrd to then Democrat Senator Theodore Bilbo, former Mississippi governor, and Klan leader. Bilbo was open about his belief that Black’s were inferior. His last name “Bilbo” actually became a synonym for White supremacy.
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944
Byrd did not drop his membership in the Klan until shortly before running for Congress in 1952.
Compare this with Donald Trump, who won an Ellis Island Award in 1986 for his commitment to and support of minority causes. He won the award along with Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks. Donald Trump had longstanding relationships with numerous Black leaders, including Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. But, fifty years of history in the public eye—where zero White supremacy was observed—seems not to matter at all. Suddenly, as Donald Trump decided to challenge Hillary, the media and the Democrats found out that he’d, apparently, switched places with Robert Byrd, while Byrd’s image had been conveniently rehabilitated. Primarily, because he voted for Democrat policies that did, what centuries of Democrat slave owners and Jim Crow laws couldn’t do, they destroyed the Black family almost completely. Today, nearly ¾ of all Black children are born into fatherless homes, unlike even shortly after the Civil War, when they had slightly higher two-parent families than Whites. Marriage rates between the races remained about the same until the creation of the welfare state, which made fatherless homes not only viable but necessary, if you were to receive government assistance.
Fact check sites, however, claim that Robert Byrd was awful sorry about his past. Meaning, all was quickly forgiven, with excuses for why both Robert Byrd, “The Exalted Cyclops” and John Brennan, “The former Communist,” who actually voted for a communist with Stalinist sympathies for the American president, should be excused. They were just youthful indiscretions, I guess, by fully adult men.
Meanwhile, the press and the Democrats dig deep for any idiot with any dirt on President Trump, no matter how lacking in credibility they may be, even if it was a long, long time ago. Because these same ruthless hypocrites have no shame. But, also, because they know that their followers are historically illiterate, with the abbreviated attention span of a butterfly with amnesia, making them perfect Democrat voters
