On this MLK Day, it needs to be said that John Lewis has been a hard-core leftist and a pro-black-power radical throughout his entire public life


Almost all of John Lewis’ extreme leftist utterances have been largely about the shortcomings of mainstream American politics and/or his notion of “injustice” ---   which is no better than one man’s bitter one-sided expression of the perceived grievances of underachieving American blacks


John Lewis compared the GOP and the 1994 "Contract with America" to Nazi Germany; and he has unfairly played the "race card" against the three most recent GOP candidates for President during each of their campaigns  --  DONALD TRUMP, MITT ROMNEY and JOHN MC CAIN 



John Lewis always was a firebrand, during his “civil-rights” days he was chairman of the so-called  .>>> Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee <<<, a hard-left organization in the 1960s,  At the March on Washington. “Lewis’ prepared remarks [ ] had to be toned down for the event.” Nonetheless, his speech called for “radical social, political and economic changes.”  which Martin Luther King gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Lewis’ prepared remarks had to be toned down for the event. Nonetheless, Lewis’ speech contained the following left-wing revolutionary rhetoric:   ““We all recognize the fact that if any radical social, political and economic changes are to take place in our society, the people, the masses, must bring them about.”

Clearly Congressman Lewis is proud of what some people have called “his very liberal voting record” while in the House of Representatives  ---  during that time he has also been quite friendly to socialist and communist causes.   A prime example is that he was a founding member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, formed with the help of the Democratic Socialists of America, and he was also a sponsor and vice chairman of an FBI identified Communist front group known as the National Committee to Abolish the House Un-American Activities Committee. As far back as1969, Lewis was listed as a sponsor of the GI Civil Liberties Defense Committee, an anti-U.S.-military organization dominated by the Socialist Workers Party; and in 1973 Congressman Lewis was listed as a “sponsor for a founding conference of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, listed by the FBI as  a Communist Party front group.


In 1995 Lewis compared the GOP and the “Contract with America” to the WW II Nazis in Germany


From the floor of the House on March 21, 1995,  four months after Republicans had won House and Senate majorities largely on the strength of the “Contract With America,”  Congressman Lewis rhetorically compared the Republicans, newly in the majority, to the Nazi regime in Germany.  Quoting a WW II anti-Nazi German pastor, Lewis said this: “They came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews … trade unionists … Catholics … Protestants …”  Then Lewis concluded solemnly: “Read the Republican contract. They are coming for the children. They are coming for the poor. They are coming for the sick, the elderly, and the disabled.”


In 2008 Lewis’ attacks on McCain & Palin linked them to racist murders

During the 2008 presidential capaign, Lewis openly suggested that the Republican candidate, John McCain, represented a throwback to George Wallace (whom Lewis seems to forget was a member of his own Democrat party)  Lewis said  “What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history. Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse…”  He then rhetorically linked McCain and Palin to a long time ago church bombing, which resulted in the deaths of four young girls.

In 2012 Lewis likened Mitt Romney to a racist segregationist  -- asking,  “…  DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK [to the segregated days in the South] ?”

Obviously, Lewis also played the race card against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign, when he implied that if Romney were elected he would bring back segregation  ---  “I’ve seen this before, I lived this before,” Congressman Lewis exclaimed, after he had described his activities throughout the South  in the 50s and 60s. Then he intoned,  “We were met by an angry mob that beat us and left us lying in a pool of blood. Brothers and sisters, do you want to go back?  Or do you want to keep America moving forward?”


Lewis did much the same to GOP candidate Donald Trump in 2016

In the 2016 presidential campaign, Congressman Lewis repeated one of his familiar chants when he compared the GOP candidate, Donald Trump, to George Wallace.   Lewis’ exact quote: “I’ve been around a while and Trump reminds me so much of a lot of the things that George Wallace said and did….  Sometimes I feel like I am reliving part of my past. I heard it so much growing up in the South…I heard it so much during the days of the civil-rights movement….” 


For these and some more examples, you need to read Joseph Farah’s letter in World Net Daily    (See  “8 Other Extremist Outrages from Democrat John Lewis” by Joseph Farah, 1/15/17,  WND/ Exclusive [http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/7-other-extremist-outrages-from-democrat-john-lewis/]).

UPDATE: THE “MASON WEAVER TAKE ON JOHN LEWIS” EDITION

ON MONDAY NIGHT, FORMER BLACK PANTHER ACTIVIST MASON WEAVER CALLED OUT CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS DURING AN INTERVIEW ON THE “TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT” SHOW

LEWIS WAS DENOUNCED AS A CIVIL RIGHTS TURNCOAT, WHO COLLABORATED WITH THE RACIST DEMOCRAT PARTY

According to a report on the Fox Insider, on the Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” “Mason Weaver, an author and former member of the Black Panther movement, said Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) presided over the "destruction of black America" in the years following his march with other Civil Rights leaders across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965…. Responding to Lewis' contention that President-elect Donald Trump is ‘not a legitimate president’, Weaver called Lewis an ‘illegitimate Congressman.’ Weaver called Lewis a ‘Civil Rights turncoat’ who has ‘collaborated with the Democratic Party to oppress black America.’… He said the people who beat and ran over Lewis and his fellow marchers that day were Democrats, also pointing to the party affiliation of former Gov. George Wallace (D-Ala.), an avowed segregationist of the time…. ‘After they beat his behind on that bridge... he got up and joined them,’ Weaver said of Lewis. ‘He joined the oppressors and became a stooge for them.’ He said the people who beat and ran over Lewis and his fellow marchers that day were Democrats, also pointing to the party affiliation of former Gov. George Wallace (D-Ala.), an avowed segregationist of the time…. ‘After they beat his behind on that bridge... he got up and joined them,’ Weaver said of Lewis. He joined the oppressors and became a stooge for them.’…" (See “Ex-Black Panther: John Lewis 'Presided Over Destruction Of Black America' “ by Fox News Staff, 1/16/17, Fox News Insider [http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/01/16/former-black-panther-mason-weaver-john-lewis-turncoat-donald-trump-destruction-black]).

For a report that emphasized some other of Mr. Weaver’s very barbed quotes, there’s always the “Daily Caller” (See “Ex-Black Panther GRILLS ‘Illegitimate Congressman’ John Lewis — ‘A Little Girl Being Beaten By Daddy’ [VIDEO]” by Christian Datoc, 1/16/17, Daily Caller/ Politics [http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/16/ex-black-panther-grills-illegitimate-congressman-john-lewis-a-little-girl-being-beaten-by-daddy-video/]).

It's better all around for you to view the whole Carlson-Weaver interview that is linked in the Daily Caller and Fox News Insider articles cited above.

UPDATE: THE “CAPANO BLASTS TRUMP INAUGURATION BOYCOTTERS” EDITION

CAPANO STANDS OUT ABOVE OTHER LOCAL GOP POLS --- PUSHES BACK ON THE JOHN LEWIS ILK AMONG LOCAL DEMOCRATS

According to a statement released by Brooklyn Republican City Council Candidate Bob Capano, “Perhaps those boycotting need to take a lesson from the election of 1800. Not only was this the first peaceful transfer of power between opposing political parties, but like this past presidential election, it was bitterly fought and as Thomas Jefferson said 'a revolution in the principles of our government.' After the ballots were cast, the country respected the results and moved forward together. Democrats boycotting the inauguration are doing our democracy a disservice. Also, I know it may be hard to believe for some Democrats in NYC, but some of their constituents did vote for Donald Trump. I can only imagine the uproar if Republicans boycotted the inauguration of Hillary Clinton if she was elected…. Among the Members of Congress not attending Trump's inauguration are New Yorkers Yvette Clarke, Jerrold Nadler, Adriano Espaillat, Jose Serrano, and Nydia Velazquez."

Hey Gail, how did you miss what Li'l Marco Rubio had to say about President Trump and Democrat troublemaker 'Fat Johnny' Lewis, IT'S MOSTLY NEGATIVE TO TRUMP AND POSITIVE TO LEWIS.
It seems that Rubio thinks that the mush-mouth Georgia congressman is somehow very important to America.
You don't need to guess why Trump is President and "Little Marco" is not.

we all need to spend some time to reflect and heal

No, it's only the left-wing Democrats that need to take a time out, and the not quite completely left Dems can only heal if they can take their party back from people like Dublazzzz

A HEADS-UP: THE "COMING ATTRACTIONS" EDITION

I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A "TRUMP INAUGURATION WEEKEND" EDITION

IT WILL COVER THE REAL BIG NEWS DURING THE FIRST HOURS OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

As a taste of things to come --- let me give you this teaser:

".... After his "taking the oath at about noon on Friday, it's beginning to look really good that Donald J. Trump will actually become the 45th POTUS. Nonetheless, there are still too many folks who think that 'rumors'; 'reports'; 'investigations'; 'charges'; 'legal interpretations of instantaneous impeachable offenses'; and 'a more than three percent loss in the popular vote' are all legitimate reasons to deny the very existence of a Trump presidency...."
