Once again, when liberals run out of logical points to attack conservatives, they attempt to smear the entire G.O.P. as racists without a shred of evidence, while ignoring the evil racist history of the Democrat Party itself.
Without a shred of evidence, they manufacture racism, promote it, and attempt to paste it onto the platform of the one Party that eliminated slavery, promoted and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and fought against racial discrimination.
The following is a speech that should be reviewed and republished every few years. While the Democrats were mocking Charleton Heston for his support of the 2nd Amendment, his leadership in the National Rifle Association, and his diagnosis with early Alzheimer’s [did you get that? The Dems actually made fun of a person with an incurable debilitating disorder?] Charleton Heston gave the Keynote Address at the Free Congress Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Gala function thirteen years ago.
Charlton Heston’s Keynote Address at the Free Congress Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Gala
December 20, 1997
What an honor it is to address the Free Congress Foundation. At a glance “Free” reads as a verb rather than an adjective. “Free Congress.” Not a bad directive for Mr. Clinton. Anyway…
I like it when the party of Lincoln honors our free heritage. This nation has been blessed by the minds and mettle of many good people, and indeed Abe was among the best. A man of great moral character, a trait often lacking among our leaders. This is disturbing, but not without remedy. One good election can correct such ills.
Above all, I hope those of us gathered here tonight have more in common with Mr. Lincoln than just party affiliation. Better that we grasp a common vision than simply wear the cloak. Even our President pretends to be a conservative when it suits him. We must be more than that.
I know… it’s not easy. Imagine being point man for the National Rifle Association, preserving the right to keep and bear arms. I ran for office, I was elected, and now I serve… as a moving target for pundits who’ve called me everything from “ridiculous” and “duped” to a “brain-injured, senile and crazy old man.”
Maybe that comes with the territory. But as I have stood in the crosshairs of those who aim at Second Amendment freedom, I have realized that guns are not the only issue, and I am not the only target. It is much, much bigger than that – which is what I want to talk to you about today.
