About me..., and I'm also a registered Independent.

Because of the nonstop hate and full takeover of GOP by , white nationalists and neo- that has gone UNCHALLENGED by GOP leaders, I'm now officially a Democrat, to stand WITH progressives in Democratic party. Plus too many Breitbart Libertarians infected Independent party as well.

I left abolitionist, NY State Governor and US Secretary of State William Seward's GOP decades ago, because of the hate that has infected a ONCE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. The U.S. Republican party is full-blown Dixiecrat now, ignorance with pride, while imposing some of the most offensive, flawed, religion-based laws as the same extremists they can't wait to bomb.

The other reason I laugh: what is the liberals' crime? CARING FOR OTHERS, their well-being and basic and equal rights (treat others EQUALLY with respect and decency)?! This is the CONSERVATIVE-CHRISTIAN's primary complaint about persons they hate rabidly?! 😲 😲 😲 ☹

WTF happened to @GOP?! In looking back at original impressive, intelligent, forward-thinking GOP members — William Seward, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman (and best friend of abolitionist William Seward), Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Dr. Mary E. Walker, Hiram Johnson, Gifford Pinchot, Ida Tarbell, Hiram Revels, Lincoln Steffens, Robert La Follette (a GOP Senator w/a FEMINIST wife), Theodore Roosevelt, James Mitchell Ashley, and Thaddeus Stevens (fought against racism in life and death by refusing burial in a segregated cemetery) — I can only stare at today's Republican party in COMPLETE horror, 😱 with belief that William Seward and all the aforementioned are screaming in their graves at the complete trashing of their party.

I am just shocked to see party now full of Dixiecrats, white separatists/segregationists (who jumped from Jim Crow-kkk-Dem to GOP in 1964/1965 to protest against passing of Voting and; Civil Rights Acts), treasonists and worse, with scared lawn jockeys in tow (Dash, Carson, Herman Cain, Allen West, Mia Love, Ron Christie, Juan Williams). In my best Ordell Robbie-Samuel Jackson voice: WTF happened to you, man? your ass used to be beautiful!! 🤯Then again, I am not shocked to see the Dixiecrats in action. Their idolized leader who shaped today's Republican party: ku klux klansman, proud white separatist and proud rapist of his black teen maid, Strom Thurmond, who also co-wrote the Southern Manifesto. The following are the beliefs and words of the literal best friend of Strom Thurmond, another ku klux klansman, Maurice Bessinger, of Maurice's BBQ (Piggie Park) in South Carolina:

his religion required him to deny service to black customers

requiring that he serve African-American customers was a violation of his religious beliefs
Newman v. Piggie Park Enterprises, Inc.

And, of course, klansman Maurice Bessinger referred to himself as a "christian" who loves God (but hates what God/Christ loves most: PEOPLE, i.e., "God's creations"), the same hate as the persons featured on this blog:

South Carolina's The State article on Bessinger:

I'm just a fair man. I want to be known as a hard-working, Christian man that loves God and wants to further (God's) work throughout the world as I have been doing throughout the last 25 years.
klansman/white supremacist, inferior intellect Maurice Bessinger

The ultimate irony in Bessinger claiming to know/love God, Bessinger IS the "foreign, alien, unknown" who worshipped under a wooden cross referenced in Deuteronomy 28. 😐 Bessinger's words and actions are consistent with the "foreign, alien, unknown" persons described in Torah, Quran and ALL bibles, which was a message to God's chosen, favored above all.

Maurice Bessinger on the Confederate flag, adored by neo-nazis, and used primarily by kkk since its founder, Nathan Bedford Forrest, established the terrorist and racist group:

a real Christian symbol...It's fighting tyranny and terror and suppressive government

Confederates (the "foreign, alien, unknown") fought AGAINST this country SOLELY for the right to own slaves, who were TORTURED, MAIMED, RAPED (men, women and children AT WILL, like GOP's Strom Thurmond raped his 15-year-old maid), ISOLATED and BROKEN IN SPIRIT by selling off family members and forced UNPAID labor until literal death, and KILLED at will, all of which confirms why the Underground Railroad ran northward, not southward.

As late as the twenty-first century, Piggie Park distributed tracts to its customers claiming that the Bible is a pro-slavery document — one of them claimed that African slaves "blessed the Lord for allowing them to be enslaved and sent to America." After Congress banned whites-only restaurants in 1964, Bessinger reportedly put up an uncensored version of a sign warning that "[t]he law makes us serve n***ers, but any money we get from them goes to the Ku Klux Klan."

The irony in the above is Bessinger is misinterpreting words which completely describe him, (foreign, alien, unknown) and his inhumane beliefs!

UPDATE: I switched to Democratic Party in 2016 to vote for either Democratic candidate. But whodathunk a fraud, Pussy Grabber would hijack our country?? Either way, I'm now officially a Democrat and will be riding hates' ass out the door!!
