Name That Party

Resolved: That, with our Republican fathers, we hold it to be a self-evident truth, that all men are endowed with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that the primary object and ulterior design of our Federal Government were to secure these rights to all persons under its exclusive jurisdiction; that, as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished Slavery in all our National Territory, ordained that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, it becomes our duty to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it for the purpose of establishing Slavery in the Territories of the United States by positive legislation, prohibiting its existence or extension therein. That we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislation, of any individual, or association of individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery in any Territory of the United States, while the present Constitution shall be maintained.

Resolved: That the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign powers over the Territories of the United States for their government; and that in the exercise of this power, it is both the right and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of barbarism — Polygamy, and Slavery.

From the Republican Party platform of 1856

News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Biden has found himself in hot water once again after it was revealed today that he belongs to an organization with roots in racism and white supremacy, the Democratic Party.

“We were researching organizations with racist pasts, and this one kept coming up,” said anti-racist scholar Dr. John X. Balmer. “It seems they were instrumental in the founding of the KKK. Many of the original guys were racists and slaveowners. These guys were really bad news. It’s baffling that our president would associate with an organization with such a racist past.”

“We call on Biden to resign and give his position to someone not associated with this horribly racist institution.”

The investigation revealed the organization had close ties to the KKK and slaveowners and even opposed Abraham Lincoln. The horrifying details of the group’s racist past shocked the nation, causing millions to call for Biden to step down, as someone so closely tied to such an organization must be a racist and obviously cannot lead our country.

Biden was unavailable for comment as it was nap time.

Go here to read the rest.  The Democrat Party has always used race for political purposes.  The colors shift, but the despicable tactic remains the same.  That this escapes the attention of the minions of cancel culture demonstrates that wokeness is simply a tactic of the Left and has no substance behind it other than the lust for political power and control over others.
