Revisionist history seems to be one of liberalism’s foremost platform planks. When history, real history doesn’t fit their agenda, they just ignore it, and replace it with a myth.

The problem liberals have with history is that it tells a story of the past, and while it has been said that the victors get to write the history, thus implying a grey area as to accuracy, nonetheless, revisionist history simply dismisses the facts and replaces them with a myth.

Historical myths, such as those conjured up by liberals, and purported as being truth, are anything but, and just as liberals often invent victims from thin air where no real victims can be found, they also often invent heroes of their cause where none can be offered by reality.

John Lewis is a prime example of this.

What can be said of John Lewis that liberals haven’t already said since his death of pancreatic cancer on July 17^th? It’s not that liberals made Lewis into an instant icon upon his passing, no…they’ve been working up to it for some time.

Mark Twain once said, “The most outrageous lies that can be invented will find believers if a man only tells them with all his might,” and let’s face it, liberals have been telling the John Lewis lie as strenuously as possible for quite some time.

Over the past couple of weeks, since the death of John Lewis, liberals have championed his 33 year stint in Congress. That have referred to Lewis as a hero, as a champion of Civil Rights, and as an icon. Praise by the ton has been heaped upon John Lewis from every nook, cranny and crack of liberalism. He has been called the moral conscience of the Congress, a giant among men, an indefatigable champion of justice, a freedom rider, and the heart of our nation.

Liberals have referred to John Lewis as inspirational, remarkable, a mountain and a monument.

Even Conservatives have felt the need to pile on the platitudes so as not to be left out of the opportunity to score political correctness points.

What can one say about John Lewis that hasn’t already been said?

Plenty.

Let’s start with this…the man was a fraud.

There. I said it. I went there and it was about damned time somebody did.

From the early days of the Civil Rights marches of the early 1960’s, there was John Lewis. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. He took a beating on that bridge in Selma, and came back the next day to defiantly cross that bridge. Lewis registered black voters across the South, and he was the director of the Voter Education Project.

John Lewis was elected to Congress in 1987, and served 17 terms until his death, and in those 33 years, he became the dean of the Georgia congressional delegation, and a leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving from 1991 as a Chief Deputy Whip and from 2003 as Senior Chief Deputy Whip.

During his 33 years in the House, Lewis was known as one of the, if not THE most liberal member OF the House. The Washington Post called Lewis a, “a fiercely partisan Democrat.” In fact, during his time in Congress, it can be accurately said of John Lewis that he rarely, if ever came across a democrat idea or agenda item he didn’t champion to the nth degree…and there’s the problem.

The history of the democrat party is the history of slavery. The history of the democrat party, John Lewis’ party, is the history of racism in America.

Slavery in America was a democrat institution. The democrat party was the champion of slavery in the Civil War, and it was the democrat party that fought to keep the institution of slavery intact. As fiercely as John Lewis clung to the democrat party, the democrat party clung to slavery. In fact, the democrat party in the years leading up to the Civil War stated that Congress had no power to interfere with the institution of slavery.

History, real history also records that in the years leading to the Civil War, it was the democrat party that showed a good deal of interest in expanding slavery in any NEW state added to the union, and it was indeed the democrat party in those days that forced the “Fugitive Slave Act” and insisted that all law enforcement uphold it.

The 14^th Amendment, providing full citizenship to freed slaves passed with 94% Republican support, and zero percent democrat support in 1868, while the 15^th Amendment providing the right to vote to freed slaves passed with 100% Republican support and again, zero percent democrat party support. Watch this video and listen as Texas Republican Louie Gohmert runs through the list of the history of political systemic racism in the United States.

It’s staggering, isn’t it? From the aforementioned instances, to advocating for discrimination, inventing and advocating in favor of Jim Crow laws, to racial segregation policies, the democrat party partnership with the KKK and the 1964 filibuster lead by democrats of the Civil Rights Act.

I would also submit that there have been countless actions taken by elected democrats since the 1964 Civil Rights Act that have been meant purely to politically, rather than physically enslave black people in this country…a long list that includes various ways to addict black people to welfare, handouts, and government reliance while telling black people that the democrat party is their only chance.

John Lewis was born in 1940 near Troy, Alabama. He was the son of sharecroppers. As a young boy, Lewis saw racism, discrimination and segregation first hand. He wasn’t allowed to go to school with white children, wasn’t allowed to sit in the front of the bus, and wasn’t even allowed in many establishments, but his northern relatives had no such problems. They had integrated schools, buses and businesses.

But Lewis wasn’t stupid. He was educated. He held a degree from the American Baptist Theological Seminary, and a bachelor’s degree in religion and philosophy from Fisk University.

Lewis grew up in democrat led segregation, and knew well before entering the political world which party was responsible for systemic racism throughout American history. He knew. There was no way he could not have known. He knew which party was the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the party of the KKK, the party of segregation and the party of disenfranchising black people from voting and civil rights…but…

John Lewis chose to be a democrat.

He chose to be a part of the party that is inherently tied to the history of racism in America, and as he progressed through the political world to become a 17 term member of Congress, he was a “fiercely partisan democrat.”

Throughout his political career, John Lewis was given honor after honor for his work in the arena of “civil rights,” and not once, not ever did he speak against the party of racism in America, the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow laws, the KKK, segregation and so much more.

Not once did John Lewis speak against the democrat party, HIS party…the party of yesterday’s, and today’s political systemic racism.

If you still think there may have been an outside chance that Lewis somehow wasn’t aware of the sham that is the democrat party, consider this fact…Lewis long claimed that the greatest influence in his political career was Claude Pepper, the Florida democrat. Pepper was no ordinary democrat, and spent a good deal of his political career fighting against his own party’s misguided and revisionist version of history.  In fact, when the Civil Rights Act came to a vote in 1964, the ONLY deep south Senator to give it an up vote was Pepper.

Lewis never challenged his own party’s hypocrisy in claiming that Act as their own, while only paying it lip service to con black people out of their votes. Oh, yes…he knew.

As the two ARE mutually exclusive, how can one possibly be both a “fiercely partisan democrat” while at the same time be the “moral conscience of the Congress and a fierce warrior for civil rights?”

One can’t, unless one is a fraud, and I contend that John Lewis was such a fraud.

In the coming days, weeks, months and years, more and more accolades will be heaped upon the so-called “legacy” of John Lewis. There is already talk of renaming the Edmund Pettus Bridge for him, and schools are already discussing taking on his name. We can no doubt expect to see libraries, perhaps colleges and monuments erected to honor the fraud. There will be awards given bearing his name and likeness, and all manner of streets and scholarships named after him.

Ironic, isn’t it, that there is now a slight pause in the liberal demands to erase the Confederacy from real history in order to exalt a man who dedicated his political career to championing the party that embraced the Confederacy? It’s all part of the scam. It’s not at all unlike making heroes of common criminals. Michael Brown was no hero, and yet liberals through revisionist history have made him one. George Floyd? Until the moment he died, he was but a common criminal, and since has been elevated to hero status.

Yesterday, Lewis was eulogized and remembered…not for what he was, but for what he could have been, and what he should have been, but the quest for power and prestige was, I believe, too tempting for the man.

Real history sheds the truth of John Lewis as it does on the ilk of Brown and Floyd, while revisionist history pushes the lie of their ilk, and don’t tell me that John Lewis had good intentions. He could not, without malice, have stood for the party that stood for everything he claimed to stand against in good faith. He could only have done that for political expediency, and he did so unabashedly.

That is a prime example of fraud in any sense of the word, and to regard John Lewis as some sort of hero worthy of high praise for anything he did after the march from Selma to Montgomery is taking things a bridge too far.

Mark Twain once said, “You take the lies out of him, and he’ll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he’ll disappear.”

Twain may as well have been talking about John Lewis, and regardless of the praise today’s liberals heap upon him, and the scorn they will level at me for daring to tell the truth, liberals know that under the harsh light of truth, John Lewis would have disappeared long, long ago.
