PRAGER UNIVERSITY: The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party

"Give us five-minutes and we’ll give you a semester." - Dennis Prager

This semester of Prager University is presented by:  Carol Swain

"[T]he Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party.  Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories, with the aim of abolishing it entirely...The slavery question was, of course,  ultimately resolved by bloody civil war.  The Commander-in-Chief during that war was the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln - the 'man who freed the slaves'...Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in reality, it's the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept blacks down." - C.S.

"Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination.  The Democratic Party started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950's and 1960's...So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing." – C.S.
