THE INCONVENIENT “TRUTH” ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DR CAROL SWAIN
When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would probably say the Democrats But this answer is incorrect
Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination
The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynch-
ings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s
In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely
This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court In the 1857 case Dred Scott v Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t citizens; they’re property The seven justices who voted in favor of slavery? All Democrats The two justices who dissented? Both Republicans
The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a bloody civil war The
commander-in-chief during that war was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln Lincoln’s vice president, a Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency But Johnson adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the South’s economic and social order Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th
Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote All three passed only because of universal Republican support
During the era of Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure rights for the newly freed slaves Hundreds of black men were elected to southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the US Congress by 1900 The Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935
But after Reconstruction ended, when the federal troops went home, Democrats roared back into power in the South They quickly reestablished white supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses And they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black citizen’s right to vote
And how was all of this enforced? By terror -- much of it instigated by the Ku Klux
Klan, founded by a Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest
As historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat - notes:
“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party ”
President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many views with the Klan He re-segregated many federal agencies, and even screened the first movie ever played at the White House - the racist film “The Birth of a Nation,” originally entitled “The Clansman ”
A few decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats
Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress supported the bill Less than 70 percent of Democrats did Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days, until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam
And when all of their efforts to enslave
blacks, keep them enslaved, and then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came up with a new strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as well vote for Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two hundred years ” So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing
Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in reality it’s the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept blacks down Massive government welfare has decimated the black family Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in failing schools Politically correct policing has left black neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime
So, when you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party should come to mind?

“Give me LIBERTY or Give me Death!” These words are attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775 What was he talking about? Are these words relevant today?
The words Freedom and Liberty are often used interchangeably in conversation, and I will use them interchangeably in this article Realistically they amount to the same thing Both mean, in the broadest of terms, the absence of hindrance, restraint, confinement, or repression Both Liberty and Freedom mean you can do whatever you want to do Did Patrick Henry mean that Americans should be completely without restraint – I don’t think so
Our Founding Fathers were avid readers of philosophy, logic, and apologetics They studied Socrates, Aristotle, John Locke, and of course, the Bible Many were in the habit of discussing serious issues like Freedom and Liberty as a source of evening entertainment They came to understand that Freedom and Liberty meant individuals were free to do as they pleased provided; they did not hinder another person’s Freedom or Liberty To put it in modern language, “your freedom to swing your arm ends where my nose begins ”
These founders of our country recognized that government authority (laws) inevitably leads to the tyranny of the people and places humans in an unnatural state of servitude to the will of the ruling class They set about inventing a new form of government not a Democracy, but rather a Republic
Our founders understood that Democracy was flawed because it depended on the rule of the masses or majority rule They understood the majority would always favor the larger group over the individual A Republic, on the other hand, is based on the rule of law designed to protect the freedoms of the individual over the will of the majority Unless, of course, the Republic was taken over by a despot, tyrant, or king Their solution was brilliant A democratically elected governing body, which could be managed by the majority, confined by the law enacted by the people through their elected representatives The purpose of the whole exercise was to free the individual to have the liberty to pursue their definition of happiness through the exercise of individual free will
We have all been engaged in this grand experiment for well over two hundred years, and we have not perfected it yet Some would argue we have steadily yielded our Liberty to gain safety and security, that we are stifling free speech with political correctness and are losing the ability, as a nation, to disagree without being disagreeable It seems our schools have stopped teaching the classics in favor of the convenient Perhaps all this is true However, I like to think these struggles are not new to the United States and that Liberty and Freedom will ultimately prevail Freedom and Liberty are, to me, the light at the end of the tunnel The goal to which we must constantly struggle to achieve Americans have died in places near and far attempting to obtain this “Holy Grail” we call Freedom From the first person killed in the Boston Massacre, Crispus Attucks, to the next person who gives their full measure of devotion in service to this nation and all who have sacrificed in past conflicts so we can continue to seek Freedom, Americans would rather have Liberty than life itself So, it would appear to me, Patrick Henry s words in 1775 are as true today as they were then
“I, for one, agree Give me Liberty or Give me Death!”

“When
“When
you are wronged repeatedly, the worst thing you can do is continue taking it — fight back!”
- DONALD J. TRUMP- 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -
GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
“When
“Freedom means the ability to achieve whatever you want and live however you want based on your own talent and willingness to work hard The United States of America was founded on this ideal. Our founders desired a society with a very limited government designed only to protect the nation and foster the commerce that would help everyone succeed. Our founders wanted to avoid a big government, which restricts freedom. Our founders wanted to avoid oppressive and voluminous laws, which restrict freedom I pray for a return to the idea that each of us can succeed if we respect each other, work hard and develop our talents.”
TEXAS 14TH COURT OF APPEALS -- PLACE 7
“My parents migrated to America many years ago to give their only child a better life and a chance of achieving the American Dream As a result, freedom embodies having the opportunity to pursue a great education, pursuing a promising career and becoming an accomplished business owner and entrepreneur. I am blessed to achieve these goals and so much more But Freedom does not stop there. It also encompasses being a dedicated public servant and giving back to our wonderful community that has given so much to me I am now a proud mother of two very accomplished young men. Freedom now has new meanings as they follow in my footsteps in public service and help make our community even better than it is today Creating a positive legacy and promoting good will, our freedom as Americans will continue for many generations to come ”
“Freedom is the power to act according to one's own judgment. It carries with it the duty to be responsible for one's own actions. It includes the ability to seek one's own path in life, the right to choose the good or the bad, and the ability to prosper or fail. It requires the will to accept consequences, be they good or bad.

I write this letter not just as a congressional hopeful, but as a mother of two, a loving wife, daughter, immigrant, and concerned citizen
This is my letter to you.
Reflecting on our nation's history, we find moments that have defined us, moments that have demonstrated our unity and strength When President Kennedy declared that America would land a man on the moon, it seemed an impossible dream Yet, in 1969, Neil Armstrong's "one small step" became a giant leap for mankind, proving that when Americans set their minds to something, nothing is beyond our reach Here in Houston, the home of NASA's Johnson Space Center, we played a pivotal role in that historical achievement
Houston has always been a city of progress and resilience From the development of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, to the energy industry
boom that has fueled not just Texas, but the entire nation, Houston has been at the forefront of innovation and growth
We are a community that knows how to overcome challenges and build a better future
Today, however, we face different challenges Our community is grappling with issues that need urgent attention outdated infrastructure that leaves us vulnerable to hurricanes and flooding, an immigration system
in dire need of reform, and families struggling to make ends meet in a faltering economy It is clear that after more than 20 years under the same leadership, we need new solutions and fresh perspectives
I am Lana Centonze, and I am running for Congress because I believe in the power of change I believe in a future where our community thrives, where our families are protected, and where every citizen
has the opportunity to achieve their own American Dream
Throughout my journey, I have remained committed to advocating for and defending the values that make our country great life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
It’s time to ask ourselves if we want more of the same or if we are ready to try something new I believe in moving forward, in building greatness together We bleed red, white, and blue, and together, we are stronger
Let us embrace the essence of what makes America exceptional and continue to pursue the American Dream With your support, I am confident that we can bring real change to our district, create a thriving economy, protect our families, and ensure that our community is prepared for the challenges of the future
Thank you for considering this journey with me Together, we can make great things happen
Sincerely,
Lana Centonze

There’s a damn good reason why Attorney Dan Simons, a Texas Southern University, Thurgood Marshall School of Law Graduate, has closed the fundraising gap on his opponent Sean Teare, in the race for Harris County District Attorney, scheduled to play out on Tuesday, November 5, 2024
“We now only have a small cash-on-hand advantage,” said an email sent out by the frantic Sean Teare for Harris County District Attorney after July 15, 2024, campaign finance reports were released
According to the email obtained by Aubrey R Taylor Communications, the publisher of the “2024 HBC Newspaper Power-Rankings©, Sean Teare is very concerned about the writing on the wall “We are
going to need our grassroots donors to step up so we have the resources to win this race,” he said
“Our race is shaping up to be way closer than anyone expected,” explained Teare
“Remember, Hidalgo narrowly defeated her Republican opponent in 2022 This year could be just as close,” said the Teare’s campaign in the email Speaking of 2022, during the “2022 MIDTERM ELECTION” debacle, four of the “GOP” candidates countywide their races, and earlier this year, a judge ordered a new election in another
After a razor-thin victory in 2022, the race for District Judge, the 180th Judicial District Court, between Judge DaSean Jones (Democrat) and Tami C Pierce, his Republican challenger, must be done over in May of 2025 A visiting judge named David Peeples tossed the election result and ordered a do-over
According to Judge Peeples, one thousand four hundred thirty illegal votes were cast, making the results of the 2022 race for the 180th Judicial District Court impossible to ascertain since the margin of victory was only 499 votes Republicans claimed countywide victories in the races for Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No 2; Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No 3;
ON 36
CONTINUED FROM 35
County Criminal Court at Law No 14, and District Judge, 183rd Judicial District Court, signaling change could be in the air in countywide races in 2024
After blowing several million dollars heading into “SUPER TUESDAY,” Sean Teare only has $154,034 83 in his campaign account as Dan Simons has surged to $98,359 57, based on his most recently filed report
reported receiving $748,317 99 for the period beginning on 1/1/2023 and ending on 6/30/2023, a vast cash hall for an upstart candidate
On January 16, 2024, Sean Teare followed up his $748,317 99 cash hall by reporting $278,817 24 in donations from 7/1/2023 through 12/31/2023, which wasn’t bad
On February 5, 2024, Sean Teare reportedly received $29,727 00 for the period 1/1/2024 through 1/25/2024, and came back on February 6, 2024, and reported $318,592 28 for the period of 7/1/2023 through 12/31/2023, which was a little confusing Then, on February 26, 2024, Sean Teare reported receiving $1,076,820 16 in campaign donations between 1/26/2024 and 2/24/2024, which was a lot of money
E S T O R E P U B L I
On Sean Teare’s campaign finance report, which he filed on July 15, 2024, on page 2, he incorrectly listed “ELECTION DAY” for his showdown with Dan Simons as 11/04/2024, which is a novice mistake Sean Teare will have significant issues outraising Dan Simons once “GOP” Megadonors from across America open their eyes and realize that Dan Simons can defeat him if he raises the finances he needs to run a competitive ground game between now and Labor Day, which is Monday, September 2, 2024
It’s funny how a guy who is supposed to be so bright (Sean Teare) can’t even list the correct date when his election is taking place on his campaign finance report It makes you wonder what else is incorrect on his most recently filed report – but I digress
One of the most evident signs that the race to succeed Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg is up for grabs on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, can be found in the campaign finance reports filed by Sean Teare, the Democrat who defeated Ogg on Tuesday, March 5, 2024
Someone needs to tell Sean Teare to pay closer attention to details when submitting documents under penalty of perjury
The 2024 Presidential Election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024 – not Monday, November 4, 2024 – Mr Teare – get your act together Take a moment to do your research You’ll discover that the down-ballot countywide races in Harris County, Texas, will be closer than some analysts, pundits, pragmatics, and political party bosses realize by studying the “SUPER TUESDAY” returns from the Democratic Party and Republican Party primaries
If you look at the most recently filed campaign finance reports, one of the most glaring things you will discover is that Sean Teare, the Democratic nominee, spent several million dollars but only received 126,449 votes on “SUPER TUESDAY,” which is a huge problem, given the magnitude, and importance of the race for Harris County District Attorney in the grand scheme of things
What am I talking about? If you hold your horses, I will explain and show you how, dollar for dollar, Dan Simons, the Greater Opportunity Party (GOP) nominee, is a stronger candidate, and even though he was running unopposed, is hugely more popular than Sean Teare, who defeated Kim Ogg, the Democratic incumbent, who her political party may have unfairly targeted
For starters, on Sean Teare’s July 17, 2024, he
After receiving a few million dollars in donations and spending nearly all of it on his quest to defeat Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, in the Democratic Party Primary, Sean Teare only received 126,449 votes, which proves that, while he defeated Kim Ogg, by a wide margin, Democrats did not turn out for him at the polls
Comparatively speaking, Sean Teare received 126,449 votes for 75 00% of the vote, and Kim Ogg received 3,702 for 25 00%, which doesn’t seem right, especially when you look at the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT” totals from previous primary cycles when Kim Ogg was on the ballot
To better understand what I’m talking about, you must realize that “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT VOTERS” are creatures of habit over 65 These elderly voters tend to vote for the same candidates repeatedly Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has been hugely popular with elderly Democratic voters over the years and has performed well in this category in past elections That said, it is confusing to me how District Attorney Kim Ogg performed so poorly in the “MAIL BALLOT CATEGORY” in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary compared to her performance in 2020 and 2016 when she faced off against much stronger candidates than Sean Teare, a former prosecutor If you go back to the March 3, 2020, Democratic Party Primary race, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg dominated her three challengers, who were former prosecutors, in the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT CATEGORY” race for DA
Comparatively speaking, Kim Ogg received 17,718 absentee mail ballots, Audia Jones received 3,676 absentee mail ballots, Todd Overstreet received 2,491 absentee mail ballots, and Carvana Cloud received 1,456 absentee mail ballots on “SUPER TUESDAY” in the March 3, 2020, Democratic Party Primary
So, we’re supposed to believe that District Attorney Kim Ogg received 17,718 absentee mail ballots running against three opponents in the 2020 Democratic Party Primary but could only amass 3,702, running against one opponent (Sean Teare), in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary?
If we go back to the March 1, 2016, Democratic Party Primary race, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg was facing off against two Democrats – both of whom had much better name “ID” than Sean Teare
Morris Overstreet, the first African American elected to a statewide office in the history of the State of Texas, was running against Kim Ogg and Lloyd Wayne Oliver in the 2016 Democratic Party Primary However, Kim Ogg received 7,274 absentee mail ballots to dominate Morris Overstreet, who received 3,416 absentee mail ballots, and Lloyd Wayne Oliver, who received 1,917
What am I trying to say with all this talk about absentee mail ballots?
Without alleging any wrongdoing on the part of Sean Teare or anyone working with his campaign, I would venture to say that Dan Simons and his team must closely monitor the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOTS” in real-time when they begin to start flowing into the Harris County Clerk’s Office between September and Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to make sure everything is above board
If Dan Simons is smart, he will place “POLL WATCHERS” inside and outside every polling location between Monday, October 21, 2024, through Friday, November 1, 2024
At least one of the “POLL WATCHERS” should be designated to count the number of people going into each “EARLY VOTING POLL” daily during the “EARLY VOTING PERIOD” as a counter-balance to make sure that “ELECTION JUDGES” are accurate as the daily in-person vote totals are sent to Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth nightly Candidates from both major political parties should fund a cooperative “ELECTION INTEGRITY EFFORT” of this magnitude

African Americans were one group of Texans that would consistently support the Republican Party in Texas in the early years. In fact, throughout Reconstruction, African Americans comprised about 90% of GOP membership, and 44 African Americans served in the Texas legislature as Republicans according to: www texasgop org
It was through the hard work of a number of dedicated African American men and women that the earliest foundations of the Republican Party of Texas were laid The first-ever state Republican convention that met in Houston on July 4, 1867 was predominantly African American in composition, with about 150 African American Texans attending, and 20 Anglos.
The second State GOP Chairman, Norris Wright Cuney, an African-American from Galveston who led the Republican Party from 1883 to 1897, is said by State historians to have held “the most important political position given to a black man of the South in the nineteenth century.”
