THE BLAZE: Why Did the Black Community Leave the GOP for the Democratic Party?
The Democratic Party has been stellar at spinning a revisionist history where the righteous among their ranks fought “tirelessly” to further the cause of Civil Rights, women’s rights – indeed human rights – throughout time immemorial.
In fairness, progressives have had one lynchpin to their argument: Then-President Lyndon B. Johnson did sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The fact that the crux of the bill was drafted and pushed through Congress by Republican Senator Everett Dirksen, and the fact that LBJ staunchly opposed the passing of Civil Rights legislation in the decades leading up to his presidency, bears little relevance on the left’s present-day narrative.
Likewise, the Ku Klux Klan – the disgraced racist organization to which even Democratic President Harry Truman belonged — was founded by Democrats and, in a sense, operated at one point as the de facto militant branch of the party.
Today, spurred by Republican lawmakers’ efforts to introduce voter ID laws in their respective states, cries of “Jim Crow” are routinely leveled against Republicans by their democratic counterparts and ideological foes. What is perhaps most ironic (and damning), however, is that de jure racism was in fact brought to bear by Democrats, who instated Jim Crow laws, poll taxes and even created the KKK in Southern States. Pastor C.L. Bryant, director of the documentary “Runaway Slave” spoke to TheBlaze extensively for the first installment of this report about the historical significance of Democrats’ past:

THE BLAZE: NAACP Backs Same-Sex Marriage as a ‘Civil Right’
What an insult to all the men and women who led the civil rights movement and to all Americans!
The NAACP, an African-American civil rights organization, passed a resolution on Saturday endorsing same-sex marriage as a civil right and opposing any efforts “to codify discrimination or hatred into the law.”
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s board voted at a leadership retreat in Miami to back a resolution supporting marriage equality, calling the position consistent with the equal protection provision of the U.S. Constitution.

Wes Vernon—Renew America: What would you do differently from Obama (if you wanted to bring America down)?
The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) crowd (with White House ties) is the natural outgrowth of several generations of classroom Marxist indoctrination. Foremost has been the hate-America "history" taught in writings of the late Communist Party member Howard Zinn
OWS parrots the communist line to the dotted i and crossed t. A revisit to a basic civics lesson therefore is in order. The reader is asked to consider: If you were a Marxist revolutionary or committed socialist, and you wanted to destroy America from within by stealth and in carefully planned steps, what is President Obama doing that you would not do?
A high-level OWS endorsement
The OWS battle cry is "the [top] 1 percent vs. the 99 percent [the rest of us]." President Obama has said to the occupiers, "We are on their side," and addressing them directly, he added, "You are the reason I ran for office."
And why shouldn't OWS and the current White House occupant not be in sync? He preaches class hatred all the time, most notably in his Kansas speech this past week wherein he all but declared total political war on the United States, especially its job-creators.
A civil right?
The Marxist view of the world is that if someone has more in worldly goods than you do, it means he is robbing you of what is rightfully your "fair share." And ergo, the "inequality" in and of itself has led to the "lousy economy" (in Bill Clinton's words).
The naïve brainwashed, along with those who know what they are doing, preach class hatred as political gospel. To them, there is a direct correlation between financial "equality" and freedom. In reality, there is no cause and effect there whatsoever.
Lesson 1 — Wealth is not created by government. Lesson 2 — In order for wealth to be created, (duh!) some people hire other people. And, yes — Lesson 3 — Absent incentive to hire along with adequate capital to invest, monetary equality ("level playing field?") can be attained only when all of us are equally poor and equally miserable.
Lesson 4 — Brace yourselves for this one: Material security is not a "civil right."
The ever-evolving "top 1 percent"
Let's suppose government confiscated every penny owned by the "top 1 percent." Would the Marxist preachers of class hatred be satisfied? Likely they would be rubbing their hands as they gleefully vilify the new "top 1 percent." Thus, the spiral continues downward until we are all equally poor and equally miserable.
At that point, an all-powerful government, in a performance intended to infer the process of "riding to the rescue," offers or imposes a takeover. That old slippery slope has been repeated with disastrous results, but the credulous fall for it every time. The end result has either been bankruptcy — currently a dangerous possibility facing the U.S. — or in some cases the ultimate result — the Holocaust or the Gulag.

Big Brother? Feds Order Schools to Monitor Kids Facebook Posts & Lunchtime Chatter
The Daily Caller is reporting that Department of Education (DOE) officials “are threatening school principals with lawsuits if they fail to monitor and curb students’ lunchtime chat and evening Facebook time for expressing ideas and words that are deemed by Washington special-interest groups to be harassment of some students.”
According to the report, the DOE issued new guidelines in a “Dear Colleague” letter in October, which the site sums up as saying “federal officials have reinterpreted the civil-rights laws that require school principals to curb physical bullying, as well as racist and sexist speech, that take place within school boundaries.”
