I knew of several infamous instances of Democrats fighting changes to our laws that provided more freedom and equality to minorities.
The late Senator Byrd filibustered against the Civil Rights act of 1964 and many in his party voted against it.
Al Gore's father was an avowed segregationist who fought this act.
What I did not know was how many more instances of Democrats fighting to keep minorities down existed.
This list is long and the worst thing about it is that Democrats lie about it on their website and the compliant media don't call them out.

Sumo scandal over Pete Rose style gambling
The world of Sumo is in a big, fat turmoil over a big betting scandal that has come to light.
30% of the top tier of wrestlers and elders (some on the Japan Sumo Association board) are being scrutinized for allegedly betting big bucks on sports (primarily baseball).
Sumo was just starting to recover from a hazing incident that ended with the death of a 17 year old and the current scandal is feared to harm it's reputation in ways that may not be repairable.
Worst of all is the revelation that the sport has become deeply involved with the yakuza.
Who didn't see that coming?

I thought things were bad at DOJ, but WOW!
A DOJ lawyer quits and publically comments on the New Black Panther voter intimidation case and DOJ internal rot.
When the very people assigned to protect us don't even read the facts before dismissing a clear-cut case of voter intimidation precisely because the perpetrators are minorities, we can only conclude that our government needs to be taken back and there is no time to waste in doing so.

2006 Mud volcano didn't stop drilling
A drilling operation in Indonesia during 2006 caused water to infiltrate and carry mud to the surface in a continuing eruption that still spews 100,000 cubic meters of mud per day.
Whole villages have been buried and hundreds of people displaced.
Levees have been emplaced to keep the flow contained, but flooding still occurs.
Methane from the site also makes for increased danger.
Arguments continue over the actual cause with some claiming that an earthquake caused or exacerbated the situation.
Why wasn't this used as an excuse to stop drilling in the US?
Well it was on land and the eruption is mud, not oil (can't sell mud, can you?).

Byrd dies at 92 after being mentally incompetent for years
Senator and former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd died at the age of 92.
He was one of the longest serving and biggest pork pulling Senators on record.
His defenders claim he only joined the KKK because they were anti-communist, yet he showed as late as 2001 that his thinking had not changed (other than joining with the neo-communists of the left in order to gain power, status, and wealth).
Even without his racist past, his opposition to the civil rights bill, and his conversion to socialism; he was way past his mental peak and should have been put out to pasture long ago.
An article in the Sacramento Bee highlights a similar case in the Golden State where State Senator Patricia Wiggins is displaying behavior that calls her mental competence into question, yet she is still allowed to vote on issues affecting our future.
Ted Kennedy was also reduced to a Liberal sock puppet near the end of his life, reading other people's words and voting as he was told to.
When will we force incompetent elected officials to retire for the good of the people?

Supremes make it a little harder for Obama
The Supreme court has affirmed the right of citizens to own and posses firearms, making it almost certain that the last two cities with outright gun bans for private citizens will have to restore their citizens rights.
Allowing us the freedom to own and posses weapons makes it that much harder for the socialist agenda to continue in America.

Hispanics destroying the lives of other Hispanics
We are repeatedly told that the vast majority of illegals in our country are "just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families".
Our opponents don't want to hear that every burglar, rapist, scammer, and murderer want the same thing.
I bet they also don't want to hear that one particular set of Hispanic people are being specifically targeted by identity thieves that then sell the information to other Hispanics.
Puerto Ricans are nearly American citizens but they cannot just leave their island home and live here.
They (mostly) have names that fit an Hispanic face; they live in a less secure environment; their law enforcement is even less interested in ID theft; and they can't even track down the thieves themselves because they are stuck in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Ricans have found themselves in trouble for criminal activity and financial malfeasance done in their names.
ID theft rings have broken into school records, making for a less than bright future for many children of the islands.
Two things are being done by the Puerto Rican government to curb this ID theft that would not be allowed here.
They are unifying their drivers license and increasing the security features.
licences now sell for $100 to $150 (not sure if that is the street price or official one).
They are also forcing 5 million people i the Islands and in the US to re-establish their identities and obtain new, more secure birth certificates.
I wander how busy the US to Mexico border traffic will get after this happens.
