Nobody Remembers Andrew Johnson

Dick Morris will impress you with his opinions on history…no wonder Bill Clinton wanted him hanging around.
If you, like me, have never given Andrew Johnson much of a thought, this is really interesting.
Enjoy! And excuse me while I go do my Christmas Cards.
YES…I STILL SEND THEM.
Obama is OUR Pearl Harbor
Nobody’s Opinion
If you watched ‘President’ Obama’s speech last night, given on the Eve of the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was obvious that the speech was given for only one reason:
Himself. Obama might as well be on Mars. Once again, he came out to basically scold us, and give us another one of his meaningless BS speeches.
He wanted to reiterate that he has done a good job as President..the first part being all about how he has protected us all, and also that the last attack on our soil was not actually from ISIS. Which, according to many, is a flat out lie. The rest of the speech showed his anger..at the American people, for not accepting in his eyes, Islam and Muslims in America, who he feels in the deepest of his hearts, are being unfairly ostracized by everybody that lives here.
The man is SICK.
Never mind that the majority of Islamic Muslims have no intentions of becoming Americans. Obama is angry at his own country, as Americans stare in disbelief that their own President has gone out of his mind.
Yes, Obama is more dangerous right now, than he has ever been. Obama has decimated our military to such a point, you can bet they aren’t even going to tell you how bad it is.
He did it on purpose. Which brings us to FDR..and the many facts that have been found out since that horrible day. While many of us were told that FDR was one of the greatest US presidents, may men, after years of research, are letting out the reality that Pearl Harbor was a black flag event, a ‘sacrifice’ to get us into the war. 
This from The Myth of Pearl Harbor:
On October 7, 1940, one of Roosevelt’s military advisors, Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum, wrote a memo detailing an 8-step plan that would provoke Japan into attacking the United States. Over the next year, Roosevelt implemented all 8 of the recommended actions.
As with recent wars, it all boiled down to oil. In the summer of 1941, the US joined England in an oil embargo against Japan. Japan needed oil for its war with China, and had no remaining option but to invade the East Indies and Southeast Asia to get new resources. And that required getting rid of the US Pacific Fleet first.
Although Roosevelt may have got more than he bargained for, he clearly let the attack on Pearl Harbor happen, and even helped Japan by making sure their attack was a surprise. He did this by withholding information from Pearl Harbor’s commanders, and even by ensuring the attack force wasn’t accidentally discovered by commercial shipping traffic. As Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner stated in 1941: “We were prepared to divert traffic when we believed war was imminent. We sent the traffic down via the Torres Strait, so that the track of the Japanese task force would be clear of any traffic.”
It worked.
Speaking as someone who has personally stood on the USS Arizona Memorial and watched the oil still leaking from the wreckage, I can say that the Pearl Harbor Attack was one of the greatest false flag operations of all time.
America now has ISIS within its borders.
More guns were sold on Black Friday (200,000) this year than any other day in our history, and that’s the good news:
The bad is: Obama is really angry…at us.
Carpe Diem Muchachos!
Nobody’s Opinion
Let’s think back: How did we get out of that messy depression that was prolonged by FDR and his New Deal spending? That’s right— we went to war!
Jeb Bush just said to the world, in response to the Paris terror attack, ” We should declare war!”
Well, gee…that’s a novel concept. We’re not at war yet? Tell that to the soldiers that are missing legs and arms.
When was the last time anybody declared war in the United States besides ISIS? The last time Congress declared war was 68 years ago.
The Western leaders take…”actions” now, because only Congress can declare war, and Congress doesn’t want to be put on the spot on that vote, due to the fact that it might hurt them at the voting booth, so they just let the Presidents do what they want, which is bomb any country he wants without Congress having to mess with it.
The world is sliding into WWIII, and Wall Street is excited…they see the writing on the wall, and they are looking for an out. You think the rich are rich now, wait until the globe goes to war.
Remember, President George W. Bush made a big spectacle out of his bombing of Iraq…”Shock and Awe” world…take notice…look how careful our American Presidents are when they bomb cities. (smile, applause.)
President George W. Bush made the biggest deal out of freeing Iraq from Saddam…as if after 9/11 that was our mission. I guess after that wonderful moment when the world witnessed some Iraq’s pulling down Saddam’s statue, Bush thought, “My work is done here.”
And yet, he knew we’d be there for…ever. George and all his cronies said as much.
George wasn’t much different from Bill Clinton, who just HAD to get involved in Kosovo. Bill killed thousands of innocents, and what was THAT about again, besides getting the headlines off Bill’s sexual orgies with Monica? Does anybody remember? The American people will never know. Our Presidents declare an enemy, and off we go.
The truth is, America and her “allies” have been over in the Middle East for a long time, long before 9/11, and while I don’t for a moment think that America had 9/11 coming, still…as backward and radical as those people are…still, we have killed thousands of innocents Muslims. Of course, they like to hide among the women and children, and the video below explains WHY that is.
Americans don’t hear the body count on the other side, and Nobody ever thinks about it. Idiots or not, they still love their own families. They are sick and twisted, but they have Allah on their side, and who do we have? God? The Bible?
Didn’t they get rid of that?
Not that we care much. They attacked us first: They STARTED the crusades.
Trump is right…we don’t win anymore. President George W. should have WON that war, but he didn’t. And Obama’s fights to LOSE it.
And so, Obama, feeling pity on the Muslims, withdraws, and then send arms to them, to take out Syria and what do they do?
They decided to take out Paris instead, because the French..are such an easy target.
At the G-20 this week, Obama came out sounding all blustery and gung-ho and he was going to GET those criminals that planned the terror attack in Paris…
Bill Clinton was going to get the men who bombed the Cole.
Obama was going to get those criminals (notice all terrorist are just mere criminals to Obama) who attacked our embassy at Benghazi.
Nobody Thinks that Obama just likes to come out and say big and bold masculine statements, that don’t mean fiddly squat.
I have not been paying attention to the Paris updates, but excuse me, didn’t most of those guys blow themselves up? That leaves maybe …one terrorist left…and a woman at that, for Obama to get. Will Hillary let him? And speaking of the huggermugger wonder, she declared in her debate yesterday that she protected New York from the terrorists because she helped bring back Wall Street.
And that’s why they give her millions of dollars, she did such a GREAT job at rebuilding downtown Manhattan. That sure did show those terrorist how tough she is.
Too bad she wasn’t protecting Manhattan BEFORE the attack. What was she doing? Playing around with her email?
Clinton responded that she was representing New York in the Senate when downtown Manhattan was attacked and noted that she helped the city’s financial hub rebuild. “That was good for New York and it was good for the economy and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country,” she said, her voice rising.
We don’t know what’s going to happen with all this, but I have been saying for quite a while…we might not HAVE an election. I truly believe the rich that are in charge of this global economy would rather leave Obama in office than face a President Trump. They’d prefer Hillary, but nobody wants her. So………
Carpe Diem Muchachos!…and enjoy a sensible man while you can.
Nobody Remembers: Sam Adam’s Speech At York
Nobody Remembers
On Veterans Day, I was reading about what was probably the darkest moment in the American Revolution. It was late September 1777. The Brits controlled New York, and the Americans had lost Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York that July. In Delaware on September 11, George Washington lost the Battle of Brandywine: 200 Americans were killed, 500 wounded, and 400 captured. In Pennsylvania, on September 21, another 300 Americans were killed or wounded and 100 captured, in the Paoli Massacre. Washington’s army had been walking in the rain, and their ammunition was soaked and useless. At Valley Forge, 1,000 of Washington’s 9,000 troops were shoe less, and left bloody footprints in the snow. They lived on flour and water.
The British captured Philadelphia on September 26, and the Congress had to flee for their lives. Of the fifty-six who had signed the Declaration, only twenty remained as they gathered for a private meeting in York.
It was their darkest hour. John Adams remarked “The prospect is chilling, on every Side. Gloomy, dark, melancholy, and dispiriting.”
But Sam Adams, who was there, gave the speech everyone needed to hear:
From Samuel Adams, A Life, by Ira Stool (p. 3)
One of those present was John Adams’s cousin, the patriot leader Samuel Adams. His first wife and four of their children died of natural causes before the war began. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, British officers decapitated Samuel Adam’s close friend Joseph Warren and presented his head as a trophy to the British commanding general. Samuel Adams had spent the better part of three years at the Congress in Philadelphia separated from his two surviving children and his second wife. “Matters seem to be drawing to a crisis.” he had written her recently. Back in Boston, the British soldiers ripped out the pews of Old South Church, where Samuel Adams’ father had once worshiped, covered the floor with dirt, and used the church as a riding academy. Samuel Adam’s own house in Boston was vandalized by British troops so badly that it was uninhabitable. If the Revolutions failed, Samuel Adams could expect to meet the same fate at the hands of the British as Warren.
Yet on that day in York in late September 1777, Samuel Adams, a slightly heavy, gray haired fifty- five- year-old with large dark blue eyes, a prominent nose, and a high forehead, gave his fellow member so Congress a talk of encouragement.
“If we despond, public confidence is destroyed, the people will no longer yield their support to a hopeless contest and American liberty is no more, ” Samuel Adams said in the voice John Adams described as clear and harmonious. “
“Through the darkness which shrouds our prospects the ark of safety is visible. Despondency becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of those who are its supporters.”
Me and Sam, 2000
Sam went on :
“Let us awaken then, and evince a different spirit,—a spirit that shall inspire the people with confidence in themselves and in us, —a spirit that will encourage them to perseveres in this glorious struggle, until their rights and liberties shall be establish on a rock. We have proclaimed to the world our determination “to die freemen, rather than to live slaves.” We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed out trust. Numerous have been the manifestations of God’s providence in sustaining us. In the gloomy period of adversity, we have had “our cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.” We have been reduced to distress, and the arm of Omnipotence has raised us up. Let us still rely in humble confidence on Him who is mighty to save, Good tidings will soon arrive. We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection. “
And that’s the key isn’t it? Are we WORTHY of God’s aid and protection? Sam was.
Nobody Wonders.
God Bless Our Soldiers….

For those of us who have no clue what they go through every single day…..all we can do is thank GOD we have men and women who give their all for America.
God Bless them, and their families.
John Adams Built the Navy that Jefferson Would Use…Right Mr. Meacham?
Nobody Remembers
I remember how excited I was the day I finished reading David McCollough’s biography of John Adams. I was even more excited when Tom Hanks brought his book to life in an HBO series. So you can imagine how surprised I was to hear a different version of history about John Adams and Thomas Jefferson last night on Mark Levine’s show. This historian, Jon Meacham, gave Jefferson all the glory and made John Adams out to be the stupid one when it came to Barbary pirates.
Funny, I thought—- that’s not how David McCullough reported it.
The author, Jon Meacham, was promoting his new book called Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power.
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up–An honest look at Jefferson’s life, accomplishments, and inconsistencies. Bernstein does not gloss over his subject’s flaws and the controversies that surrounded him. The contradictions between Jefferson’s beliefs and his behavior, while exposing his human side, are not used to denigrate him or to diminish his accomplishments
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Washington Post • Entertainment Weekly • The Seattle Times • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • Bloomberg Businessweek
(Notice it’s the liberal media that loves it.)
Mr. Meacham made it sound like, it was Jefferson that stood up to the Barbary Pirates, against the wishes of John Adams. It wasn’t that he was wrong, it was the way he was presenting Jefferson as being so much wiser than John, and leaving out the particulars that was annoying.
To sum it up, in order for America to be able to use the shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, back in the early days of our country, they had to ‘pay’ the Sultan of Tripoli for safe passage. The Sultan, Abdrahaman, wanted more than Congress was willing to give, even though both France and Britain were already paying them. Jefferson had gone to Paris to help John negotiate with them.
(This bribery has NOT changed in all these years)
From John Adams (p. 352)
From Philadelphia, John Jay sent instructions to negotiate with the Barbary States. Funds were made available by Congress up to $80,000. But Adams and Jefferson had not money at hand. When Jefferson inquired whether Adams might borrow again from the Dutch, and reported that French officers in Paris were angry over not having been paid what they were due for services in the Revolution, Adams was helpless to do anything.
Remember, John Adams got a loan from the Dutch, (and he did this all by himself without the help of any of his ‘friends’ in Congress) so that George Washington could then go on with his battles and win the Revolutionary war. Without that loan, the war might have been lost.
Jefferson and Adams wrote to each other, when Jefferson left London and went to Paris…
From John Adams (P. 366)
In an exchange of letters between London and Paris , meantime, he and Jefferson considered the question of whether to pay tribute to the Barbary pirates or wage war with them. Jefferson recommend war as more honorable and proposed that an American fleet be built. Adams agreed in principle and promised, “I will go all lengths with you in promoting a navy.” Like Jefferson, he detested any prospect of paying bribes. But given that there was no American navy at present and that it would be years most likely before Congress voted such a resolution, Adams though it sensible to pay the money. “We ought not fight them at all, unless we determine to fight them forever” he told Jefferson who willingly deferred to Adam’s judgment. Later in January 1787, they would sign a pact with Morocco, whereby the Unites States, like France and Britain agreed to pay for protection.
Then Meacham, went on to give Jefferson the credit for building the Navy, at least I thought that’s what he said. I couldn’t believe it. Did I just hear that? All throughout McCullough’s book, Jefferson is seen hiding out on Monticello throughout the revolution…it was Adams that built that Navy.
When he became President, Adams asked Congress for the funds, and a bill for a ‘provisional army’ was passed.
From John Adams (p. 501)
The rebirth of the navy the ‘wooden walls’ he wanted above all for defense of the country, and a new Department of the Navy, separate from the War Department were his pride and joy.
The new navy, in Vice President’s Jefferson’s view, was a colossal waste of money.
Add to that the fact that when Jefferson became President, he disbanded much of our military, (typical democrat) and so, when the British invaded again in the war of 1812, it was Jefferson’s own fault, the country was unprotected. Adams begged him not to.
John Meacham, was obviously, making a not so accurate picture of Jefferson…the father of the democratic party. Jon is now helping Daddy Bush polish up the history of his son with 41’s new biography.
It’s easy enough to explain: Jon Meacham has connections to all the right people…many of them ‘progressives’ and who know to twist words, and report the right propaganda to affect the nation and the voters.
David McCullough is his own man.
Jon Meacham is executive editor and executive vice president at Random House. He is a former editor-in-chief of Newsweek, a contributing editor to Time Magazine, editor-at-large of WNET, and a commentator on politics, history, and religious faith in America. He won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for his work American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House. en.wikipedia.org
It’s an election year…the democrats LOVE to bring out Thomas Jefferson, FDR, and the Kennedy’s and polish their stars.
It wasn’t too long after this that I hear ANOTHER biography on the great genius of FDR just came out. Propaganda to get the masses into voting for the RIGHT progressive, whether it be a Bush, or a Clinton.
And as my mother always said, when in life, most times it’s always wise to ‘consider the source.” When it comes to historians, it’s best to check who they are ‘associated” with.
That’s where you will usually find the truth.
Did we NEED another biography of Thomas Jefferson? No. But, it’s an election year…EVERYBODY is writing books.
Bridge of Spies—Another Home Run for Spielberg–(Ignore the Media.)
Nobody Reports
The last really good movie I saw, one that I wanted to actually see again, was Jurassic World. Sure, The Martian was fun, but nobody does the sets, the acting, the action, the drama, as well as Steven Spielberg. The man was just born to do what he does.
Bridge of Spies is a movie of American history, and coming at a propitious time when daily we are bombarded with news that black is white, and our whole very notion of being “American” is being torn down. It’s A spy movie about when America traded ‘spies’ in the cold war, with the help of an insurance lawyer, who basically, against even our own government’s wishes, just does the right thing.
Yes, there still is a right, and a wrong. (even dogs know that.)
From HC Press.com:
Tom Hanks stars as James Donovan, an American attorney brought on to defend “suspected” Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in 1957 in the early stages of the Cold War. Donovan is reluctant to take on the controversial client, but is encouraged to do so by his boss (Alan Alda) because America needs to prove that it gives everyone a fair trial. In other words, America is supposed to appear morally superior to its enemies, even though Abel’s guilt has already unofficially been determined.
Yes, James Donovan (Tom Hanks) defends the Soviet spy in the same tradition that John Adams defended the British soldiers of the Boston Massacre, and the whole time I was watching this movie I couldn’t help but think of how off the course of America we have come.
Obama can now, if he believes ANYBODY to be a threat to the nation, without a trial, imprison them for whatever time he likes, and Congress let him take that power. It was never even discussed in public, and yet a fundamental American right has been taken away. With Obama’s love and protection of all who are Muslim, this scares mostly those who HE thinks are enemies…and in Obama’s world, it’s a lot of the American population.
In this movie we see a normal citizen fight for the rights and lives of BOTH ‘spies’, American and Russian, the point being driving home is they are just doing their jobs. The ‘governments’ of our world, make decisions that a normal citizen would never make.
Not to mention, (going back to Obama) —Obama didn’t even attempt to get the release of four Americans out of Iran, when he was signing his ‘historical’ nuclear deals with Iran. You can’t help but compare Obama of today, with the past man in this movie, James Donovan, a nobody from some law firm, who goes on to get thousands of people released from jail in communist countries—which you learn as a footnote at the end.
Too bad we don’t have a James Donovan today.
As I left the theater, I wanted to see this beautifully told and meticulously crafted movie a few more times…but I can’t help but wonder why Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks continue in real life to support Obama? Why?
It’s a dichotomy that remains inexplicable: How many liberal actors make their living by blowing up people on screens with guns, and yet, want all guns banned? And how can directors and actors who make uplifting themes of the goodness of America, endorse someone like Obama? The MOST Un-American President to ever hold the office. How?
Is it really just all about the money? Can somebody answer that to me please? (I have my suspicions, but would love to hear yours.)
Anyway, go see the movie, because the PR is telling everyone NOT to.
You’ll want to see it…one more time.
Nobody Remembers House Speaker Henry Clay
Nobody Remembers
I thought that since today, Paul Ryan took over as House Leader, it might be a good time to remember just how the speakership got so powerful.
Nobody hopes that Paul Ryan will not be the dictator that Nancy Pelosi, and John Boehner turned out to be. The spot itself, just like the Presidency, has grown exponentially in power and size beyond what the Constitution meant it to be.
Not many people know this, but Newt Gingrich, once welded the same kind of power over his members, as John Boehner. While Newt was known as the man who put the Republicans back in power in 1994, after fifty years of democratic rule, there were many men and women who went to Washington to serve in Gingrich’s ‘revolution’ and yet, in closed meetings they were told by Newt that either they go HIS way, or none of them would be re-elected or get on committees. Hard to believe, but Newt, after that ‘revolution’, abandoned many of the ideas that he wrote on that Contract with America board and cuddled up to Bill Clinton. The Freedom members of that time, had to admit defeat and just go back home.
When did this ‘power’ of the “speaker ” come about? According to some historians, It was Henry Clay that started it.
From A History of the American People…
Henry Clay (from Kentucky) was probably the most innovative politician in American history , to be ranked with Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison as a political creator. A year after getting to the House he was elected its Speaker. Hitherto, the House had followed the English tradition, whereby the Speaker presided impartially and represented the collective consensus. Clay transformed this essentially non-political post into one of leadership, drilling and controlling a partisan majority and, in the process, making himself the most powerful politician in the country after the President. This made him a key figure in promoting the War of 1812 and in negotiating the Treaty of Ghent: and, somehow or other, he escaped any blame for the war’s disasters and returned from Ghent in Triumph. This led him to think he ought to be secretary of state to the new President, Monroe. When the job went to John Quincy Adams instead, Clay organized and led in the House a systematic. “Loyal opposition” another political innovations.
By all accounts, Henry Clay was a pre-Bill Clinton lovable cad. He was a big playboy, drank and gambled heavily. And he was very rich, due to the deals that he arranged by the power he held.
He was incredibly talented at stacking the house and getting his way. He was a dictator, but as one of the men in the house said about him:
“I don’t like Clay. He is a bad man, an imposter, a creator of wicked schemes. I wouldn’t speak to him but, by God, I love him!”
So, next time you wonder why your “representatives” in Washington D.C. never seem to do what they promised you they would do..
Go ahead. Blame Henry Clay. He expanded the power of the speakership and it remains to this day, next to the Presidency, a position of great power.
Nobody Remembers the Vast Immigrations of the Early 1800’s.
Nobody Remembers
Funny isn’t it? The topic of immigration is not being talked about much…only Donald Trump brings it up. And he hasn’t said much about it lately.
But, that doesn’t mean the immigrants aren’t still flooding our country. Nobody knows how high the illegal number is, but the consensus seem to be around 40 million.
This has happened once before, when the nation was flooded by immigrants….but back then, there WAS no free food stamps, free housing, free educations…welfare. The immigrants that came to America, believed in holding their own.
Not surprisingly it was climate change that brought massive immigration to America back in the early 1800s. There was a very hard winter, of 1825–6, 1826-7, and 1829-30…in Europe. The last years the coldest ever recorded. People were starving, and the price to America by ship was cheap. Europe groaned from a heavy tax burden, which fell as usual upon the poor. Americans on the other hand, only paid on $12 dollars a year in taxes. Not only were the wages higher, but you could spend the money you made on your family.
But…because of the “bankers” printing endless money, unemployment was high. John Quincy Adams recorded in his diary of April 24, 1819:
“In the midst of peace and partial prosperity we are approaching a crisis which will shake the union to its center. “
The news didn’t reach those in Europe sailing for America. Tens of thousands of immigrant continued to arrive, to find no work and rising hostility. One observer, Emanuel Howitt, wrote that “the Yankees now (1819) regard the immigrant with the most sovereign contempt…a wretch, driven out of his own wretched country, and seeking a subsistence in this glorious land. “
John Quincy Adams, who headed the State Department announced its policy lines in the Niles Weekly Register:
“The America Republic invites nobody to come. We will keep out nobody. Arrivals will suffer no disadvantages as aliens. But they can expect no advantages either. Native born and foreign born face equal opportunities. What happens to them depends entirely on their individual ability and exertions, and on good fortune.”
And it was in those years, that the United States was Europeanized, with the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish.
It’s quite a different story now…..not only is the European family lines dying out, but so is the republic they built.
When someone asked Ben Franklin what the delegates in Congress had come up— with he said, “We gave you a republic, if you can keep it. ”
Will the new ‘immigrants’ to America’s want to keep the Anglo-Saxon’s historical republic? Or will they choose…what they are running from: socialism, and tyranny?
Nobody…Wonders.
Nobody Remembers James Monroe and Liberia
Nobody Remembers
Liberia…Libya…I get those two mixed up.
So, here’s how to tell them apart: They are both in Africa (Can you tell that I did NOT take Africa studies in college?) but one has Hillary Clinton all over it, the other has Ebola, and James Monroe.
Today, Nobody Remembers…James Monroe.
Since Obama likes to go back to our slavery problem about as much as he likes to go back to our gun problem. Once upon a time, we did have a President who was trying to find a way to get rid of slavery., which of course was VERY hard to do, since the whole South’s economy was based on the production of cotton. Thanks to Whitney and Fulton, the whole WORLD was just loving our cheap cotton. Just like now the whole WORLD loves Zuckerburg’s Facebook, and he needs MORE cheap slave workers…
But that’s another blog.
President James Monroe was a good guy by all accounts, and decided to…solve the slave problem by just shipping them back to Africa. He did managed to send a few thousand or more, but he had a big problem:
Most of them didn’t WANT to go back to Africa.
From The History of the American People:
Monroe is known to history chiefly as the author of the Monroe doctrine (John Quincy Adams was, but that’s another blog) (1823). He ought to be better known
for his promotion of the scheme to solve the slavery problem by repatriating freed blacks to Africa. This was not just a humbugging tactical move on the part of conscience-stricken slave owners like himself. It was also backed by the powerful Evangelical anti-slavery lobby in Britain, who set up the first repatriation colony in Sierra Leone. So it was a “liberal” solution, or seemed so at that time. In 1819 Monroe supported Congressional legislation to set up a similar, American sponsored colony in Africa to be called Liberia. Its capital was named Monrovia after him. Some freed slaves did go to Liberia, where they immediately set themselves up as a ruling caste over the local Africans, a prime source of the country’s poverty and its ferocious civil wars, which continue to this day. American blacks seen to have realize instinctively that it would not work, that they were better off in America even as slaves than in Africa. They were scared of being sent there. Ten years after its foundation, Madison sold sixteen of his able-bodied slaves to a kinsman for $6,000, they giving “their glad consent” because of “their horror of Liberia.”
Of course, the South fought it. In 1844, Bishops John England of Charleston provided an elaborate theological justification to ease the consciences of Catholic slave owners.
So, there you go. A president TRIED to send them back to Africa, but they didn’t want to go, even if it meant their FREEDOM….and I have a suspicion that today, it wouldn’t be any different. Blacks here in the United States, for all their troubles, are well-fed, well-housed, and get vast government welfare. If Oprah Winfrey offered to take them all on a big cruise ship, never to return…I doubt she could fill the boat.
What does this all mean?
How about this: To stop the gun violence on the South Side of Chicago for starters, we don’t need new gun laws, we just need to pass a law that ANY black that murders someone with a gun, WILL be sent back to Africa, never to return to our country. After all, they might like it there, and fit right in. Crime and murder are big there too.
I bet if we started shipping blacks BACK to Africa after they commit a crime, they might all of a sudden start behaving like humans, instead of idiots.
That’s RACIST you say?
Well, then, whenever a Mexican commits a felony, and he’s illegal, Donald Trump suggest we send them back to Mexico, right? Muslims too. Send them all back. Get them out.
But Joyanna…blacks are citizens…Illegal’s are not. That’s true, but why should we keep these criminals in our country? Other countries send THEIR criminals to us, why don’t we start doing the same? A One way plane ticket would be a heck of lot cheaper than spending millions of dollars keeping them for years in our jails. Not to mention, think of the lives saved.
Liberia is STILL a cesspool of corruption. America recognized its Independence in 1862, and even though their lives would be MUCH worse than here, in Liberia, most men have four wives.
Even Kanye West would love that. All it takes is ONE rapper to start it off…
In fact, maybe we could call it the new Monroe Doctrine: If you don’t like America…LEAVE.
They Don’t Want ANYBODY To Remember….Andrew Jackson
Nobody Remembers
If Andrew Jackson gets taken off the twenty-dollar bill, there is only ONE person to blame: Hillary Clinton. During the debate last night, CNN asked the candidates what women should be put on the twenty-dollar bill? The men all gave politically correct answers, but Carly Fiorina gave the right one: We shouldn’t change it.
The complaint from the left? Too many white men faces on our currency. Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman are both women and black…and Obama will probably have the last say, even though, if he could, he would pick himself.
A few of the men suggested Rosa Parks (Including Trump)
Now, no offense to Rosa Parks, but that “I’m not giving up my seat on the bus” incident didn’t happen in a vacuum. It was, by most accounts that I’ve read, well organized…it was meant to make headlines.
Let’s compare Rosa’s life to Andrew Jackson…a man whom both John Adams and his son John Quincy, despised: Andrew Jackson was a tough ruthless killer….and it was Jackson who took care of American’s “Indian” problem. Never mind that their land was taken over by those horrible white Europeans who basically invaded their country…and the rest is history.
The way he treated Indians is why both the Adams hated him. But…in the light of history, he DID do some great things for America.
After the revolution, Americans thought, well…those ‘savages’ must either assimilate or move west. Americans were organized in townships, and states. The Indians were organized into tribes, and the hunt for game. Two different cultures. Two cultures that were not going to mix.
(Sort of like Muslims and Christians.)
Now, remember—- the British had a policy of organizing and arming Indians against the United States. In the region of the Apalachicola River, the British major Edward Nicholas, with four officers and 108 Royal Marines, armed and trained over 4,000 Creeks and Seminoles, distributing 3,000 muskets, 1,000 carbines, 1,000 pistols, 500 rifles, and a million rounds of ammunition. That it was the British arming the Indians was left out of most American history books.
Most of the Indians thought it was a bad idea to attack the whites, but the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh wanted blood:
‘Let the white race perish! They seize your land. They corrupt your women. They trample on the bones of your dead! Burn their dwellings, destroy their stock, slay their wives and children that their very breed may perish! War now! War Always! War on the ling War on the dead! “
If ONLY he could have said Allah Akbar!
Anyway, Tecumseh got war. The Creeks came upon some settlers in Ohio, and murdered 553 men, women, and children and took away 250 scalps on poles.
“The children were seized by the legs and killed by battering their heads against the stockading, the women were scalped, and those who were pregnant were opened while they were alive and the embryo infants let out of the womb. “
Well, they were so ruthless in their attack…America was appalled.
Enter stage left: Andrew Jackson. He got up an arm of 5,000 strong and attacked their main fortress at Horseshoe Bend. Jackson won that battle and killed a total of 557 plus another 300 drowned. After that, he went on a rampage, burning villages and destroying crops and the Indians just gave up.
He forced the Creeks to cedes to the United States 20 million acres of the cream of the Creek County, opening a communication from Georgia to Mobile. It was called the treaty of Fort Jackson.
The people of the NASCAR South can thank Andrew Jackson, and he wasn’t finished. But it was in the Battle of New Orleans that Andrew Jackson did his most impressive feat.
When he reached New Orleans on December 1, he found it virtually undefended. He worked swiftly. He formed the local pirates, who hated the Royal Navy, on whose ships they were periodically hanged, into a defensive unit. Hundreds of free blacks were turned into a battalion under white officers. He paid them well. When his paymaster protested, Jackson told him, “Be pleased to keep to yourself you opinions…without inquiring whether the troops are white, black or tea.”
By the time the British got there, with sixty ships and 14,000 troops, New Orleans was strongly defended. (A History of the American People)
The British land commander General Sir Edward Pakenham, “not the brightest genius” as his brother- in -law the Duke of Wellington put it, planned a two-pronged assault, up the almost undefended left bank of the Mississippi to take the rampart from the rear, while his troops in front kept the defenders occupied. They got lost, and delayed, so he proceeded with a frontal assault.
The result was a pointless slaughter of brave men. The advancing redcoats met a combination of grapeshot, canister shell rifles, and muskets all skillfully directed by Jackson himself. All three British generals were killed. Jackson lot only thirteen killed. The British lost 291, with 484 missing and over a thousand wounded.
Codrington, watching from HMS Tonnat could only shake his head in disbelief at the debacle. “there never was” her wrote to his wife, ” a more complete failure. “
The Battle of New Orleans put the final nail in the coffin of Britain and America fighting each other. They made a deal…Britain could have Canada, and we got the rest of the country in the Treaty of Ghent.
John Quincy Adams who was there at the signing said.
“I hope this will be the last treaty of peace between Great Britain and the Unites States.”
And it was.
And this is all about electing a woman president. If it was just about too many white men being on our money, Obama would have put Martin Luther King.
Whether you thought the man was a ruthless killer or a moron, the truth is, it’s changing our history once again. All this burning of the Confederate Flag is no different from ISIS going around destroying ancient historical monuments.
I think Jackson earned his spot in history AND on our twenty-dollar bill.
It’s silly move, it’s a insidious move, and it took a conservative woman to say it.
Nobody Remembers George Washington: You Can’t Say He Didn’t Warn Us
Nobody Remembers
Today, Hillary Clinton, compared the GOP’s attitude toward women, as bad as the terrorists, which is amazing considering the fact that video’s of Planned Parenthood executives have been taped laughing and bragging about all the money they are making off of butchered aborted fetuses. These videos have been just as shocking to Americans, as ISIS cutting off human heads.
BUT..in her typical Mammy-jammer fashion, Hillary turns that around, and accuses the GOP of being MUCH worse…Why they want to deprive women of health care! It’s party politics at its finest, and so I thought it rather propitious at this time in our history dig today, to ponder what George Washington, the father of our nation, warned us all about in his last farewell address:
Really, stop here if you don’t want to get depressed: In George Washington’s last address to the nation he had three main points:
FIRST: He pleads at length, and passionately, against the ‘baneful effects of the Spirit of the Party.’
“Differences, arguments, and debates there must be. But a common devotion to the Union, as the source of “your collective and individual happiness,” is the very foundation of the state. Central to this is respect of the Constitution: “The Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory on all.”
Well, THAT was pretty much thrown out the window after he left office, The Constitution died quite a while ago to our leaders, and it’s been a dirty little secret that it’s pretty much dead. People are just figuring it out. The parties are so much alike, that now the fights are like the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s, except the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s were much more civil.
The fighting between the parties are like dogs all fighting for the same bone. Which is why people are sick of them all.
Can’t say George didn’t warn us.
“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. “
One word: Obama, has done all of this. He ignores every law and writes his own, and George was right…it HAS been fatal.
Can’t say George didn’t warn us about that one either.
Washington believed that with law America was everything: without the law, it was nothing. Can you say…Amnesty?
SECOND: He thought it most important to keep clear of foreign entanglements. Isolation? Not at all. Independence? Yes.
The BEST advice ever given, unfortunately, nobody listened to it.
Can’t say he didn’t warn us.
THIRD: To Washington, it was most important to have a government of morals.
“Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. Anyway who tried to undermine these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizen was the very opposite of a patriot. Morality, cannot be sustained without religion. “
Well, there you go…We have come to the Clinton’s and the Obama’s—– the most immoral Presidents in American History. What would George have to say about them?
He’d have them shot. Really. That’s what they did in those days.
Yes, Washington worked hard to give us the first Constitution of the world, and he told us how to keep it.
You can’t say, he didn’t warn us all.
Nobody Remembers Alexander Hamilton
Nobody Remembers…
So, how did we get into this fine mess that we find ourselves in? How did the big money corporations and elites of Harvard and Yale, end up ruling over all the rest of us?
It goes waaaay BACK to Alexander Hamilton, and the beginning of the country: Hey, nothing is new under the sun is it?
The Revolutionary War, was like all wars, expensive. We started out in deep dept.
From the History of the American People:
In 1775 Congress authorized an issue of $2 million of bills of credit called Continentals to finance the war. By 1779 (December) $241.6 million of Continentals had been authorized. This was only part of the borrowing, which also included US Loan Certificates, foreign loans, bill of credit issued by the states, and other paper debts. Together they produced the worst inflation in United States history. By 1789 the Continentals were virtually valueless. By 1987 the debt had risen to $40 million domestic and $13 million Foreign.
(Sound familiar? How much did the Iraq war cost? A few trillion?)
Hamilton suggested that Congress gave one dollar for every hundred to the embittered people counting themselves lucky to get anything. And then he suggested that the Federal government take on all the debts of the states.
And so, Hamilton managed to pull the United States out of debt, with enough money to give Jefferson the means to make the Louisiana Purchase. BUT…the country was middle class, and was growing, and rich by most standards. Hamilton was looking good.
But he didn’t stop at that: Hamilton kept going. He convinced Congress that we needed a national money supply and so Congress chartered the Bank of North America as the first private commercial bank in the country and the first to get government incorporation. The bank opened in Philadelphia in 1782, and Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, James Monroe, and Jay were among its original stockholders and depositors. Hamilton wanted it to be more like the Bank of England. He wanted a board of 25 men, a main office and eight branches, serving as the government’s fiscal arm. Most of its stock was held by the government which was also its principal customer.
(Sound like the Federal Reserve?)
When Jefferson saw the concentration of power that this empire building was going to bring about, he protested against it. Jefferson was from wealth, and Hamilton was from poverty. So, while Jefferson wanted to curtail the growth of centralized moneyed government, Hamilton wanted to expand it. In fact Hamilton despised the poor. Especially the farmers, who hated the banks.
Hamilton wanted an elite an aristocracy to keep “the turbulent and uncontrollable masses” in subjection. But the elite had to be tough-minded, motivated by its own self interest. And because he wanted the elite to rule, Hamilton wanted a permanent senate who served for life, like a House of Lords. And it was this establishment of the Central bank that started the split of the countries into “parties.”
“Two parties began to form, in the new state, North versus South, farmers versus manufacturers, Virginia versus Massachusetts, states’ rights men versus federalist centralizers, old versus new. Jefferson protested that he had no wish to found a party.
“If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” Thomas Jefferson.
But that is what, in the 1790s, he did.
Hamilton was believed to be the founding father of the Republican Party. Jefferson, the Democrats, and we have forever been troubled by the lot of them ever since.
Nobody Wonders if Bill “Jefferson” Clinton added that middle name sometime in his life, to give himself political points.
What? Do you really think he was born with it?
HA! I want to see THAT birth certificate.
Nobody Remembers the Power Grabs of Abraham Lincoln
Nobody Remembers
Abraham Lincoln….THE President almost every school kid in America was told, freed the slaves. But..was there an easier way to do it? Did we HAVE to have that horrible Civil War? 
According to Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Abe was no saint. He had this to say in his book The Constitution in Exile
“The bloodiest war in American history could have been avoided. But, with very little regard for honesty, Lincoln increased federal power and assaulted the Constitution. His actions were unconstitutional and he knew it. By barring the Southern states the right to secede Lincoln preserved the geographical Union but tore apart the Constitution. “
Yes, states have a RIGHT by our constitution to secede, but Abe refused to let them, and it wasn’t about slavery at all…it was about expanding federal power over the states, and building an empire.
Judge Napolitano…points out that history has gotten Abe all wrong. He mentioned Lincoln’s Confiscation Acts which Lincoln used to free the slaves.
The act provided that slaves would be transported to countries in the tropics. The freed slaves were not to be housed in the North. and if the Slave owner said he would be loyal to the UNION, he could keep his slave.
The truth is, Lincoln was supporting the political philosophy of Henry Clay, who was the leader of the Whigs.
“For forty years, Clay supported the creation of an American empire through measures such as corporate welfare (which political liked to call ‘internal improvements.” today we call them corporate tax breaks, protectionist tariffs, and a nationwide central bank. All of the things that Clay favored in essence provided for a highly centralized government. And Lincoln supported them all. “
When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, most Northerners were surprised because the government had never previously said that the reason for the war was to liberate black slaves in the South.
And according to the Judge, Lincoln could have saved over 650,000 lives if he would have let the South leave the union. The Judge thinks, slavery would have died..like it did in England. England had freed its slave without violent conflict about twenty years earlier. Other countries too did it peacefully: Dutch (1863,) Puerto Rico (1873,) Brazil (1871-88,) and Cuba (1886) So WHY was our Civil war so bloody?
Lincoln was more concerned about the failure of states to collect tariffs than he was about slavery. Lincoln murdered civilians, declared martial law, suspended Habeas Corpus, seized vast amounts of private property without compensation (including railroads and telegraphs, and conducted a war without the consent of Congress,
“imprisoning nearly thirty thousand Northern citizens without trial shutting down several newspapers, and even deporting a congressman because he objected to the imposition of an income tax.”
In Maryland alone, Lincolns’ troops arrested and imprisoned without trail a mayor, a congressman, and thirty one state legislators.
He expanded the army and navy and used federal money to purchase arms and ammunition. without the consent of Congress. Only Congress can declare war, Lincoln said he was “suppressing a rebellion.”
According to the Judge, Lincoln behaved like a tyrant. And his general Sherman did too.
Sherman burned an entire town in Tennessee. Observers noted that “small Union units under his command expelled families from river towns and killed others who refused to be evacuated. Sherman’s march to the sea was nothing but a murderous rampage.
And we have Lincoln to thank for the income tax. He also increased taxes on just about everything. He established National Banks across the nation.
“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it. and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it: And if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.”
The Judge puts a new light on Spielberg’s excellent movie called Lincoln, which made Lincoln out to be a saint…which goes to show you, it’s all how you look at it.
I’m not sure what to think about the Judge’s harsh opinion about Abraham Lincoln, but there is one thing that he is absolutely right on: Lincoln became a dictator.
War…seems to bring that out in all leaders.
God only knows what Obama will do to Americans should we be attacked.
Something tells me he will make Lincoln look like a saint….that history has always reported he was.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
