After a long history of racism, is it time to rename the Democratic Party?

Click here: Princeton University is looking to purge former Progressive and Democratic President Woodrow Wilson from its history because, frankly, he was racist.

If Woodrow Wilson gets the boot for being racist, then every Democratic president from the last century should also be booted. They were all racist. Every last one of them.

FDR enforced segregation through red-lining and liked to tell jokes about “darkies”. Truman wrote, “I think one man is as good as another so long as he’s honest and decent and not a n–ger or a Chinaman.” JFK was disgusted by interracial marriage. LBJ liked to describe the Civil Rights Act as “the n–ger bill”. Jimmy Carter ran for governor promising that “I can win this election without a single black vote” and accused his opponent of liking Martin Luther King. Bill Clinton said of Obama, “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

DMC Sheriff – Beware of local phone scam

PRESS RELEASE

The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office would like to warn area residents of a phone scam.  There has been several incidents in which residents have received phone calls informing them that there are bench warrants for their arrest because they had failed to show up for jury duty or for other offenses.  The person making the calls identified himself as a person who is a current Des Moines County Sheriff Deputy.  A recent scam in Johnson County Iowa was very similar, but added the demand that the person send money or face arrest.  The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office does not call people to inform them of warrants, and would certainly never ask for money over the phone to take care of a warrant.  The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office would like to caution residents about phone calls requesting money, as most calls of this type are a scam.  Always ask the person’s name and a number to call them back at as legitimate businesses will have no problem with that.

“Welfare is available for those who truly need it,” she said, “but the ultimate goal is self-sufficiency.”
