Louie!
Y’all, Louie wants to ban the Democratic Party.
I’m gonna say it again. Louie Gohmert wants to ban the Democratic Party, or force them to change their name because of ties to slavery. As our friend Rick asks, “Did a waitress give him a connect the dots coloring book at a family style restaurant again? He’s just no good at those things.”
Louie sees people he doesn’t like trying to get Jim Crow monuments removed or who want to let all Americans have the dignity God gave us. I mean, didn’t Louie ever wonder why all the monuments to Civil War heroes are on the losing side? Honey, once you cross the Mason Dixon line, you don’t hear people singing glorious songs about Sherman’s bloodbath through Georgia. I have never heard a decent human being say, “Boy howdy, Sherman sure kicked some white treasonous ass! Let’s build him a monument and let it be a daily reminder to the white people in Georgia that we can do it again.” I’m not saying that would be a bad idea. I’m just saying it never happened.
“A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan,” Gohmert said in a statement.
Short history lesson for Louie. When the Civil Right Act of 1964 was passed, Texas Democratic Senator Ralph Yarborough voted for it. Texas Republican Senator John Tower voted against it. And that moment right there was when Democrats sought to correct their path and take make our party the party of all Americans.
If that’s the best indictment of the modern day Democratic Party that Louie can come up with, he’s once again on the losing side.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
