Special to The Press
Frances Rice is an intelligent, beautiful black woman, a retired U. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, a lawyer, and chairman of the National Black Republican Association. She spoke at the National Republican Women's Convention in Florida. Her speech is from a perspective that gets little attention in our national press.
She said, "Democrats have spent the last 40 years convincing people
they were the Civil Rights party. In 1854, it was President Lincoln who
started the Republican Party, and granted freedom and the right to vote
to the blacks. In the 1800s the blacks could vote and had their
Constitutional rights.
"It was the Democrats who kept the blacks
in slavery. When they took over Congress in 1892, they took the black
rights away. Little known today is the fact that it was Republican
Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon
Johnson, who pushed through the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In fact, Dirksen
was instrumental to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957,
1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968. Dirksen wrote the language for the 1965
Voting Rights Act. If not for the Republicans there would not have been
a 1964 law -- signed by Lyndon Johnson.
"John Kennedy was no civil rights advocate. It was the Democrats that Martin Luther King was fighting.
"It was Democrat Governor Lester Maddox who brandished ax handles to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant.
"Democrat Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of a Little Rock public school.
"It was Republican President Eisenhower who sent troops to let the black students into the school.
"Democrat
Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in front of the schoolhouse in
l963 and thundered, 'Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation
forever!'
"Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, a former "Keagle" in
the Ku Klux Klan, is still a Democrat and a prominent leader in the
Democrat-controlled Congress, where he was honored by his fellow
Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate."
Frances Rice stated: "We have to break the loyalty the blacks have
with the Democrat Party. With politics and race-baiting, the Dems
gained power and now are using that power to change the free-enterprise
system.
"Obama is using bailouts, spending trillions on wasteful
programs. We were $450-billion in debt when he took over and now it's
$12-TRILLION!
"We've turned our back on our allies and shamed our nation.
"We've supported radicals -- Marxists and Communists.
"We have 30 unaccountable czars in a shadow government against which we have no defense.
"Obama called veterans and conservatives perilous and extremists.
"What is extreme about valuing life?
"What is extreme about preserving marriage between one man and one woman?
"What is extreme about keeping taxes low so the nation can prosper?
"What is extreme about having a strong national defense against the Islamo-Fascists who want to kill us because we are free?
As
author Michael Scheuer stated, 'the Democrat Party is the party of the
four S's: Slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism."
Frances Rice said, "Obama is a Socialist -- call him what he is."
She
said, "Our core beliefs are that our rights come from God and no man
can take it away --- as was the belief of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Values of black Americans agree with Republicans.
Yet they vote Democrat. We blacks are going to set the civil rights record straight.
"Taxpayers voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
"In
our quest to take back our country and save America from being turned
into a failed socialist nation, we must acknowledge a political reality.
"Like
it or not, America is a two-party system. We will have either Democrats
or Republicans in control of the government. No political party is
perfect. Only God is perfect.
"With Republicans in control of
our government, we can get 70-80 percent of what we want, and we can
have some control over what the Republicans do.
"With Democrats
in control of our government, we can get little or nothing of what we
want, and we can have little or no control over what the Democrats do.
"Even
though some individual politicians may stray from their party's core
principles, the fundamental principles of the party remain the same.
"In 1854, we founded the party of freedom and equality. We have to fight for our traditional values.
"We
are still the GREATEST NATION on God's green Earth! Americans have to
wake up and stand up for freedom -- through our tea parties and town
halls and tax redress.
"Let election day be judgment day!
"Kick out of office the radicals who do not support America or the constitution!
"Stand up together and be free!"

Extingiush liberalism!!!!!
"A black person voting for a Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."
What else?
Let us not forget that, though few in numbers, the southern Republican congressional delegation voted with the southern Democrat minority to in their mutual attempt to defeat the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Got that? Southern Republicans opposed the 1964 CRA.
Meanwhile, Democrats overwhelmingly approved the 1964 Civil Rights Act:
Among House Democrats, the vote was 152 to 96 for passage, and Senate Democrats voted 46 to 21 for passage.
Only in the 2/3 cloture vote needed to end the southern Democrat filibuster were pro-CRA Republican votes crucial.
Converting fellow Republicans to his side was not easy for Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen. Despite the halo painted by revisionists, Republicans balked at Dirksen's call for support.
Even with Dirksen pushing, on repeated test votes, a whole raft of Republicans resolutely backed the filibuster -- and then voted against final passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
"On ideological grounds," GOP revisionists claim.
By the GOP count, no southern Democrat shared Republican "ideological" motives in voting against the CRA --

"On ideological grounds," GOP revisionists claim.
By the GOP count, no southern Democrat shared Republican "ideological" motives in voting against the CRA --
-- And that in view of Barry Goldwater openly admitting on Meet the Press that he would actively seek the southern segregationist vote. He would "go hunt where the ducks are," as he bragged on national TV in 1964.
What ideology was Goldwater espousing? Goldwater won five segregated southern states and his home state in the presidential election. Period.
But revisionists claim Goldwater voted against the 1964 CRA "on ideological grounds." Sure -- where the ideological ducks are.
Of the 172 House Republicans, 38 of them, more than 1 in 5, voted to defeat the CRA.
And 1 in 6 Senate Republicans, north and south, joined southern Democrats and opposed final Senate passage.
Proudly, among the 145 non-southern House Democrats, only 4 voted against passage.
Is there a statistical difference between the 20% of Republicans and the 2.7% of non-southern Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
Meanwhile, Senate Democrats overwhelmingly approved the final passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, with 69 percent voting aye.
All of which must be sand in the revisionist baloney sandwich.
SOURCE for the above figures: The Everett Dirksen Congressional Center, Pekin, Illinois
While segregationist Democrats made up the biggest bloc of votes against passage of the 1964 CRA, the political shift in southern politics that began with Strom Thurmond and carried through in the campaigns of Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan saw the same segregationists who voted 'no' in 1964 move to the Republican Party when it became clearer that from Truman forward, the national Democrats would forcefully champion black civil rights.
Had Democrat segregationists who later jumped ship already made their moves to the GOP in 1964, then the vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act would have been approximately 90 percent 'aye' from the Democrats, and approximately 50 percent 'no' from the Republicans.
But it is amazing how a political party that denies so vehemently that it is racist can be so darned segregated in the 21st century.
While black Americans occupy one in every eight homes in the USA, black Republicans occupy ZERO of 535 seats in the U.S. House and Senate.
And many of the state delegations to the Republican National Convention in the past several elections have been absolutely free of black faces --ZERO black delegates chosen to help select the Republican candidates for the U.S. presidency.
That is more than a shame. In fact, it is a racist shame.
The partisan Republican solution? Dredge up and desecrate the dead heroes of the civil rights movement -- revise, smear, lie, revise...
