Name One Black Pol From Reconstruction?

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

During Reconstruction America was awash in black office holders, and then they went away in 1877 after the South handed the election to the GOP in return for changes the South demanded.

We're at that place again when a sea change happens.

Obamullah goes away and is never seen again.
The Democrat Left is disemboweled by center-right Democrats who replace the Lefties in Congress.
And Jim Webb is elected president.

Hiram Revels. I doubt a Democrat will win the next election for President.

I don't get the enthusiasm for Hillary. I think its delusional BS.

Ed Rollins finally fessed up and confirmed that Jebs appeal is limited to Wall Street in NYC. I suspect Hillary too.

I think Hillary is all done. Just a thought, Romney may have given Jeb the kiss of death with that younger generation comment, and Scott walker is beginning to emerge. I liked that comment of his when he gave that rousing speech saying, "there's a reason we celebrate the 4th of July instead of April 15th." Sounded a little Reaganesque.

Jesus Christ who the fuck do you think Reagan was???

He was staunchly Pro socialized HC, Union, public education and he raised taxes to pay for it by the time it was all said and done.

With the exception of going full bore on the War on Drugz (another epic conservitard FAIL!!) the guy would be run out of the current GOP as a flaming fucking communist......except in vettey dream world of course where St.Ronnie was some iron fisted tyrant conservative that vettey wishes we had.

You high again? You have an insanely convoluted view of reality.

Your lack of historical perspective isn't my problem.

"The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)[1] is an act of the United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospitals that accept payments from Medicare to provide emergency health care treatment to anyone needing it regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay."

"They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost. "- RR

“Collective bargaining in the years since has played a major role in America’s economic miracle. Unions represent some of the freest institutions in this land. There are few finer examples of participatory democracy to be found anywhere."- RR

He nearly tripled the budget deficit and raised taxes 7 out of the 8 years he was in office.

Bailed out Social Security in 83

Was all about global nuclear disarmament.

Gave 3million undocumented aliens amnesty...

He even illigally funneled weapons to Iran...

These are all verifiable facts....the guy was not anything like you portray him.

Reagan would be fucking CRUCIFIED by today's bat shit RW Republicans such as yourself. Hell you crucify Obama on a regular basis for some of the SAME SHIT.

He's a fucking Taliban lover for fucks sake....and did I not tell you the Taliban is staunchly conservative? They sound JUST like YOU vettey, I'm sure ISIS is little different.

You mean my lack of left wing historical indoctrination.

...thats compensated by right wing historical indoctrination ?

You mean my lack of left wing historical indoctrination.

Right, because any knowledge that shatters your demonstrable ignorance is 'left wing indoctrination' thus allowing you to dismiss it out of hand.
I notice the same thing with religious zealots. Any demonstrable knowledge which contradicts scripture is somehow "satanic," because being able to admit when you're just fucking wrong is heresy. Can't have anything which contravenes confirmation bias after all. That would mean non-conformity and worse, independent thought! Burn the witch, I mean commie, I mean librool, I mean non-conformist. Freedumb means you're free to do as we tell you!

For the side that loves to flog 'freedom' so much, it's damn funny to see how terrified actually being free make a person like yourself.
