There's nothing Christian about judging people without the benefit of the facts. The fact that you posted these memes, and your statements, rendering judgment without knowing what you are talking about, contradicts Scripture... There's a big difference between following Jesus of Nazareth and your actions. learn the difference instead of showing a meme telling people to learn the difference. It's painfully obvious to me that you have not read the entirety of the Holy Bible. It's also painfully obvious that you like to post Christian related comments and images on Facebook while failing to act the part.
The thread starter deleted the thread, sparing you from the balance of the blistering fact check scrutiny that you were about to be subjected to. It's a good thing that I saved this for posting on my blog.
Jeanne Jondreau: During the Civil War, the Democrats were slave owners. Yes, that was sad to find out.
This is the only thing that you said that was correct.
Jeanne Jondreau: But, now, it has all switched.
That's a myth, partly based on the argument on how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by Democrat controlled Congress and signed into law by a Democrat President.
Support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was just over 80% among Republicans, and just under 70% among Democrats. Democrat Senators, 21 of them, set a record filibuster at the time attempting to kill the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Republican support for the bill contributed to breaking the deadlock, ending the filibuster, and passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the White House to be signed into law.
The myth is that racist Democrats transferred to the Republican Party to protest the Democrat vote. That makes as much sense as moving from Florida to Alaska to protest Florida winters. Out of the 21 Senators, only one transferred to the Republican Party, one senator is not going to change the entire party. The other 20 remained with the Democrats.
Jeanne Jondreau: I can't remember what year I read that happening.
You won't remember, because it never happened.
Jeanne Jondreau: Tell me,
I did, see above.
Jeanne Jondreau: you know so much.
I've been a history buff for over four decades, and have argued this and other topics against Democrats for 20 years.
Jeanne Jondreau: So here we are. The Republicans have picked up where the Democrats left off in the South.
This is a spectacularly incorrect statement. You do realize that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would not have been passed had it not been for Republicans, do you? Again, support from the Republican side was over 80%, it was 21 Democrat Senators that attempted to kill the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was not until the 1990s until the South became solidly and consistently Republican.
Jeanne Jondreau: So I am liberal Dem used to be a Repub during the Civil War. Chew on that for awhile.
First, you're making that statement based on your erroneous understanding of US History. Both Democrats and Republicans in the 19th Century would've seen your argument as an abomination. In the 20th Century, the Democratic Party shifted towards the extreme left, socialism and communism. The Republicans, on the other hand, did not adopt the policies of the Democratic Party... That's a BS myth.
Second, the policies of the Democratic Party, both before and after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, go counter to the conservative principles of the Republican Party. Racism goes against conservative principles. It speaks volumes when numerous Blacks have walked into Republican rallies, and found out that the idea that the Republicans are "racist" is just a myth.
If you want to find out who the Democrats truly are, listen to what they say about the Republicans.
