Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s creator, is one of the most evil men in America. He is an opportunist who supports big business and denies the rights of the many. He has a hero; that hero is former President William McKinley. This should be no surprise to those who actually read history. McKinley was a tool of the three richest men in America; Dale Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller.
They bought his first election out of necessity. William Jennings Bryan had aroused the working class. Their poor wages, unsafe working conditions, and lives of poverty became his mantra. A Bryan presidency would have destroyed their monopolies.
They also paid for his second term. Fearful of Theodore Roosevelt, they convinced him to become McKinley’s running mate. Their plan backfired. When McKinley was assassinated by a disgruntled worker who had lost his job, Teddy Roosevelt began his efforts to enhance the lives of the working class.
But Rove sees things more like FOX Noise; he stretches the truth, and omits most of the facts to spread his propaganda. “Political scientists have studied it for years as one of the great five realigning elections in America,” said Rove.
McKinley had successes to his credit, including freeing Cuba from Spanish rule, granting the small nation’s people their independence. He convinced Congress to annex the Hawaiian Islands, as he began a policy of increased American imperialism.
Much like Republican politicians today, he was a tool of big business. Under his administration Carnegie, Morgan, and Rockefeller experienced increased profits while the plight of the working class became unbearable.
Teddy Roosevelt is one of the greatest Republican Presidents in our nation’s history. Some of his more meaningful accomplishments were protecting our nation’s natural resources. He was responsible for the federal protection for almost 230 million acres of land, 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reservations, five national parks, and 18 national monuments. He was our country’s first great environmentalist.
In 1902 he dismantled the railroad monopoly under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. He negotiated an end to a coal strike in Pennsylvania. Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” broke apart monopolies and protected the rights of workers and consumers.
While McKinley was indebted to big business, Roosevelt sought a balance between business owners and the working class.
It is no surprise that today’s so called “Republicans” would emulate McKinley and deny the accomplishments of Teddy Roosevelt. The party is owned by the one-percent and fails to support the majority.
Voters must be informed that Donald Trump is a member of the one-percent. He has no concern for the working class. His fascist policies in business would transfer to our government if he were to be elected our president.
The future is in your hands; your vote must count this year, and it must be cast with intelligence and a concern for the future of your country and your family.
Be independent; take your country back and return our nation to the country established by our forefathers.
