Protesters Show Up to Rally Against Karl Rove — But Can’t Really Say Who Karl Rove Is

Karl Rove Protesters Cant Really Describe Who Karl Rove Is

 

Organized protesters set out to counter the issue of money in politics while marching over a mile through Washington DC last week.  The heat index was a blistering 90 degrees, which seemed to add to the marchers’ aggression for their target, former Bush Administration Senior Adviser and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove.  While Rove has been out of the White House for over five years, he has remained active in fundraising for and promotion of conservative causes, particularly through his non-profit, Crossroads GPS.

Many of the protesters took issue with the success of Rove’s 501c4, stating it should be “illegal” even though they were themselves proud representatives of 501c4s.  This conflation begs the question: Do these organized protesters even know why they are marching? Or do they even know who they are marching against?

The Blaze set out to uncover this mystery by asking the proud marchers one simple question: “Who is Karl Rove?” You may or not be shocked by their answers.

    I blame all this country’s problems on the founders themselves. If they hadn‘t bought slaves from the Muslim slave traders in Africa we wouldn’t have this problem today.

      Our “Founders” were born over two hundfred years AFTER slaves were brought to what would eventually emerge as “The Colonies”. By design, our Founding Fathers programmed in the destruction of the institution of slavery. Over 600,000 Americans died to free the slaves.
      The Republican party was founded by those that supported President Lincoln, who joined the Republican party shortly after it was formed. All the leading Civil Rights leaders, from Douglas to King were Republicans.

      I believe that the use of the word slave and slavery has become the PC point of the day. While it is a social injustice and evil let’s not forget that all races are both victims and victimizers. There are many forms of this concept and just like so many things in our culture the ideas become watered down, over utilized, and misrepresented when trying to push an agenda or ideology. One great example is the current trend of atheists using the concept of slavery in the OT/NT. Of course they always miss the concept that the bible was teaching the spiritual principle of our slavery to sin. The physical was meant to display the awfulness, oppression, and horror of the unseen spiritual reality that many are blind and oblivious to. They use it to indict God, rather than understand it was meant to be a lesson to all humanity about their condition. Modern day slavery still exists but in different forms. When a liberal imposes their ideology on me through laws or by force then I am enslaved by their world view, the same could be said of them in the reverse. I say all of this to caution people about engaging in the PC language and buzz words of the day because so many do not critical evalute words or statements any longer. Slavery is a condition of this life and the position of mankind indefinitely we must be careful in how we appropriate guilt and innocence lest we be guilty of presentism upon our forefathers….

      continued….. Looking back future generations could say that our government imposed a different type of slavery upon minorities so that in their dependent state they would keep certain individuals/parties in power so that the aid would continue to come. In other words, if someone is addicted to a substance and that persons family enables thier addiction are they not helping enslave that person to their addiction? The same can be said for modern welfare assistance and programs. No one I know is against truly helping their fellow man, but when help becomes enabling then enslavement occurs and advantage of the enslaved ensues in the form of politically useful tools…..In the same way the kings of old used slaves to build monuments to themselves, their legacy, and their egos, modern politicians do essentially the same but in a different manner..

      The opposing African tribes took other captured tribesman and put them into slavery so the Africans started their own slavery of each other. When the Portugese came to the African coast, they traded barrels of mollases for slaves and of the 20-25 million of them that they, the French and the British brought over the the “New World” 95% when to South America and the Caribbean and the other 5% went to the Colonies which became the United States.

      As for the Muslims, those were the Barbary Pirates who started the “White Gold” slave trade, going up the down the European coast and taking women and children and selling them into slavery in the Middle East, while those numbers were into the 100′s of thousands, vs the African slave trade of millions, it was still slavery. In fact slavery in the Middle East didn‘t formally end until the 1970’s. Slavery is still an institution in Japan and parts of China today. Some say the Foxconn plant in China making iPhones is a modern day slave factory with rice farmers forced to work on assembly lines, yes they get paid, but they hate the monotonous work, many commit suicide by jumping from the factory housing unit balconies to the ground.

      600,000 did not die to “free the slaves”. They died either because they were forced to fight or they were protecting their homeland. You Lincoln worshippers are as blind as jihadists. As if Jefferson, Madison, or Patrick Henry would be high fiving watching our voluntary union become an eternal prison. I guess you are fine with the federal government not protecting our borders and enslaving your children with never ending debt. Maybe you or your kids can be sent off to some 3rd world shi hole and win the hearts and minds and bring freedom to the rest of the world (sarcasm).
      We are doomed unless you people understand freedom and liberty. Secession is our only hope outside of Jesus Christ.

      You are right in many areas… But, Japan has not practiced “slavery” for a LONG time… In fact they HIGHLY look down on the mistreatment of others (although, due to their past, they don’t care so much about the Chinese….)

      Slavery in Japan has been long since abolished.

      It started in the 3rd century, and was ended in the Sengoku period (Warring States Period). Simple fact checking please… All areas that Japan had ever “invaded” during its military conquest of WWII, had their slavery programs dis-continued as soon as Japan took over… The Japanese Military DID turn POW‘s into laborer’s to build railways during that time, but this ended shortly after the war was finished.

      Very well said. I would also add that had Barry Goldwater defeated LBJ for the Presidential election our nation would not be facing nearly the amount of turmoil it currently does. We wouldn’t have the debt we have, the poor would have more opportunities, the health of the nation would be drastically better for all races. Unfortunately, to buy minority voters, Lyndon Johnson destroyed all of that out of a lust for power and to keep the Democratic party in charge through dependence. As a former Democrat I’m embarassed to have been so naive.

      Excellent point by SleazyHippos about slavery in the bible. First of all the “slaves” that the Hebrews had weren’t slaves at all but servants who were treated as family members. Read about Abraham asking God if the promised nation would come through is eldest male servant. More importantly the bible is talking about slavery to sin. True Liberty is found only in Christ and any student of the Holy Bible knows that. It is thus reasonable to understand, since the founders were ALL students of the Holy Bible, that when they speak of “Freedom” and “Liberty” there weren’t speaking of having the right to smoke weed and buy prostitutes. They were talking about Christian Freedom and Christian Liberty. The Freedom to seek that personal relationship with Christ the Lord.

      Without Christ all of the “Libertarian” arguments for “Personal Liberty” miss the mark of the Founders intentions.

Does anyone think it’s hard to predict what happens to the deficit when you start a trillion dollar war and cut a trillion dollars in tax revenues? Nope, that’s easy math even for the ignorant. And of course after seven years of Bush/Rove the economy collapsed. No surprise there.

      So who is Rove? He’s the guy who is helping organize the couple hundred billionairs to buy the next US election, thanks to Citizens United. After a century of trying to limit the influence of money on elections, now the rich actually can legally buy elections. And anonomously!

      Founders did not bring the slaves to the Americas. The blacks sold their own people with Muslim help to the English, Spaniard, and Portuguese settlers. The founders (white peoples) abolish the slavery. A lot of whites dropped dead to free the blacks. You need to blame the LJB and the Democratic Party for the kind of people who protest the common sense. The Democrats were reaching for power and made almost 100 percent of the blacks dependent of the f—king government. So, when you see the monkeys disturbing everyday life, blame the democrats, progressive, commies but not founders. They were the best in human history with all their imperfectness but even they did not predict Obama. Ella, for that you can blame them.

      Ella, it’s amazing that the ignorance that we see portrayed in this story matches your own ignorance regarding the founding fathers philosophies and the sources of those philosophies. If you would invest a little time and read their writings you would understand that your comment has no substance based in reality, no different than the people in the story you’re just parroting partisan misconceptions.

      I can respect anybody‘s opinion as long as it’s based in reason and truth, I suggest some reading a good starting place would be reading the book “The 5000 Year Leap” by Skousen then “The Making of America” by the same author to get a better understanding of the people you are blaming.
      The truth is if we had stuck with the founders philosophy of a constitutional small government with its understanding of human nature and adherence to natural law we wouldn’t have nearly as many problems as we do now, government causes the problems when it steps out of its constitutional bounds then turns around and tells the ignorant that it‘s somebody else’s fault but they can righteously fix it but you need to keep them in power it’s the old dependency game.

      Sadly the slaves now willingly stay on the political plantation keeping their masters in power by their own choice. The chains were removed from their bodies only to be replaced by stronger ones on their minds is extremely hard to watch as the ignorant dependency class kisses the hand that tells them “you cannot do it

      “Blame the French,” you said.
      Unfortunately, your knowledge of American history leaves much to be desired.
      The story of slaves in America begins with Christopher Columbus who was sold on the idea of capturing 500 Indians and selling them as slaves in Seville, Spain, which was done.
      Columbus did not receive any money; instead, he was imprisoned, since he was betrayed and became a victim of a conspiracy fostered by real authors of that idea whom he trusted and helped: five maranos who forsworn their religion and supposedly became Catholics – Luis de Torres, interpreter, Marco, the surgeon, Bemal, the physician, Alonzo de la Calle and Gabriel Sanchez.

      The idea of using Indians as a well-paid source of cheap labor persisted.
      Within one decade from 1654 (when Jacob Barsimson emigrated from Holland to New Amsterdam (New York)), there were many settlements established along the East Coast, principally in New Amsterdam and Newport, Rhode Island, by Jewish newcomers who were prevented by Governor Peter Stuyvesant ordinances from engaging in the domestic economy.
      But there were no laws preventing the Jews from trading with the Indians, and Jews quickly discovered that such trade will be their great bonanza.

      To be continued…

      BLAME the AFRICANS–THEY sold each other! LEARN HISTORY! Something ELSE. SINCE the beginning of MANKIND, there have been SLAVES–of ALL race and color. ONLY blacks STILL speak out today and feel they are OWED for something that happened hundreds of years ago. They NEED to RETHINK it…HAD their ancestors NOT been slaves, THEY themselves could still be in the countries of their ancestors STARVING like those that still live there are!

      Continuation:

      Actual slavery on the American soil began not from “importing” men and women from Africa and Asia, but from “innocent” trading:
      Hayman Levy imported cheap glass beads, textiles, earrings, armbands and other cheap adornments from Holland and traded wit Indians for valuable fur pelts. Soon he was joined by Jews Nicholas Lowe and Joseph Simon. Lowe raised an idea of trading rum and whiskey to the Indians and set up a distillery in Newport, where these two liquors were produced.
      In the twinkling of an eye, Jews opened 22 distilleries in Newport, manufacturing and distributing ‘firewater.’
      The story of the debauching of the Indians with its resultant massacres of the early settlers, is a dramatic story, well described in literature.
      In a very short time, the seaport of Newport became the great trade harbor of the East Coast of North America: it was the foremost place in the commerce of rum, whiskey, and liquor dealings.
      It finally became the Main Center of Slave dealings, which one time was even called ‘The Jewish Newport-World center of Slave Commerce.’
      From this port the ships left on their way across the ocean, to gather their black human cargo and then derive great sums of money in exchange for them.
      One Jew, Aaron Lopez, had over 50% of all dealings under his personal control for almost fifty years.

      Founding Fathers didn’t bring slaves to America, but they used them.
      Responding to their petition, Washington gave freedom to Jews, but not

      Ending:
      My last phrase was “trimmed”.
      This is it:

      Founding Fathers didn’t bring slaves to America, but they used them.
      Responding to their petition, George Washington gave freedom to Jews, but not to salves.

      I think that one of the reasons Black usually dislike Jews is that they know better how the slavery started.
      But slavery has gone long time ago, and their actions today are the same as if I would rebel against nowadays Tatars and Mongolians whose ancestors yoked Russians for almost 300 years.
      It would definitely be a lot better if they used their energy for better studying…

      It was a bit after the “founding fathers, but it was Boston again. The Boston ship owners wanted to buy cheap molasses in the Caribbean Islands to make demon rum. They found that they could sell the rum to the Muslims (ownership of Black Africans is right according to the Koran) in exchange for Rum. They could trade the slaves to the islands for molasses. Later, when that market was saturated, they went to Louisiana (then a French colony) to trade slaves for molasses. Called the Triangular Trade, it was very profitable for the Bostonians.

      No Ella, go to the source…first blame the black African tribes who would go capture members of enemy tribes and then sell them to the Arab slave traders, often after using them as their own slaves within their tribal villages. Black African inter-tribal hatred and intolerance and insensitivity to everyone not in their tribe helped feed the slave trade as the original source. Guess what Ella?…they still forcibly abduct people and forcibly use them as slaves in parts of black Africa, as well as many parts of the world, often under the guise of indentured servitude, or maybe this; have you ever heard of the sex trade? Suppose you were oblivious to all this still existing, weren’t you? Quit whining about what was going on hundreds of years ago, that’s all libs do. Your agenda is not to fix or help anything or anyone, but to make sure they stay suppressed and self-perceived victims just so you have something to bitch about and blame someone else for. How else can other self serving idiots like you keep get re-elected and keep the victimization fires burning?

      No…I’m not giving Obama too much “credit” for ANYTHING, other than
      his willingness to USE IGNORANT PEOPLE TO HIS ADVANTAGE.

      The term “ignorant”, I simply mean, UN-informed & UN-aware…and
      I might add, UN-concerned for THEIR OWN DIGNITY.

      Look, there’s NOT ABOVE A 3RD GRADE EDUCATION OUT THERE!

      IF SO – that’s the person passing out the $10′s – to those willing to
      be exploited- giving up their dignity to get $10.

      YOU’RE RIGHT -this has been the tactics of Democrats/Liberals for over
      80+ years…but these are the people Obama AND his organizers EXPLOIT-
      not educating them on WHY, WHAT OR WHO THEY ARE PROTESTING -
      giving them at least an opportunity to be “informed”.

      BUT – OBAMA orders them to ” take off their bedroom slippers and
      get out and march for HIM”…AND THEY BLINDLY DO IT!

      WHY?
      No doubt, they have been lied to AGAIN- told IT’S ALL ABOUT OBAMA…HIS COLOR!
      Yet, the small FACTS/DETAILS of his deceptive & horrible direction for this Country
      INCLUDING THEIR SQUASHED FUTURES – just gets in the way.

      Some of the Post here, go into great details about “Slavery” and “Africia”.
      Ha! It’s NOT that complicated.

      Take these “inner-city dwellers” out to the country and show em’ A HORSE OR COW.
      IT WILL BE A “RE-MAKE” OF CHICKEN GEORGE, A RUN AWAY SLAVE.

      And, that will be the end & extent of THEIR “Motherland Dreams”.

They gladly stand in line to pick up different forms of welfare and celebrate every time they can get an extra handout.
