Democratic Myths

In his review of this book R. Lau attempts to "prove" that all Republicans are racists by misquoting Barry Goldwater's famous acceptance speech at the 1964 Republican Convention. Lau "quotes" Goldwater as saying that "Extremism in defense of SEGREGATION is no vice." Every sentient American knows tat what Goldwater actually said was this: "Extremism in defense of LIBERTY is no vice." Barry Goldwater was no racist. And neither is the Republican Party This dishonest attempt to portray Republicans as racists has been perpetrated by the Democratic Party for the past thirty years. Anyone who watched the performance of Democratic Senators like Teddy Kennedy in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge Sam Alito appointment to the Supreme Court this week has witnessed the absurd and dishonest lengths to which they are willing to go to perpetuate that myth. What the Rev. Perryman points out in this book is that for over a hundred years from 1854 to 1964 the Republican Party was the sole champion of emancipation, of equal rights for blacks, of putting an end to racial segregation, and of anti lynching laws; while the Democrats precipitated and fought a civil war to preserve slavery, enacted and enforced the Jim Crow laws that created the segregated South, and invented and repeatedly used the Senate filibuster to block the enactment of anti lynching bills introduced by Republicans. It is true that by the 1960s the effort to end segregation and discrimination had become a bi-partisan effort. Democratic President Harry Truman took a courageous stand against segregation in 1948, splitting his party; and Lyndon Johnson introduced the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But neither of these laws could have been enacted without Republican support. Republican Senators and Congressmen overwhelmingly voted in favor of these bills, while one third of the Democrats in both houses of Congress voted against them, and mounted a filibuster in the Senate to prevent their enactment -- a filibuster that was broken only with Republican votes. It is also a fact that the first crack in the wall of legal segregation came in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education outlawing segregation in the public schools. It was a unanimous decision supported by both the Republican and Democratic Justices; and the opinion of the Court was written by Republican Chief Justice Earl Warren. It is also a fact that Republican President Dwight Eisenhower was the first President since Republican President U.S. Grant to send federal troops to the South to enforce the rights of African Americans, by upholding court ordered desegregation of the Little Rock public schools. It was also a Republican, Richard Nixon, who established affirmative action as federal policy by issuing an Executive Order requiring that federal construction jobs be given to minority firms. And finally, Republican President George W. Bush has appointed more minorities

Excellent book

Wayne Perryman has written a great book full of facts not fiction. It has been done in a very scholarly manner and would make a great text book for a black history class. He looks at history through non-prejudiced eyes. This book is a must read for ALL AMERICANS. If you are honest and desire to know the truth you will find it in this book. Wayne looks back at what has happened for several decades to show the negative impact of the democratic party on the black people in our country. The freedom they have long sought for and think they have is not always what it seems to be. Wayne does not hold any punches, but in a very fair alalytical way tells the truth. I hope many are set free by reading this truth. I believe this is a must read.

ENLIGHTENED READER

Traditionally, Blacks have voted for the Democratic Party based on the assumption that it was the party that "looked out" for Blacks. While that may have been the truth at one time, it no longer exists and hasn't for many years. Mr. Perryman's book, Unfounded Loyalty, exposes, facts, figures, and incidences which prove that the Democratic Party has actually suppressed the Black race, and informs the reader of advantages gained via the Republican Party. This is done in an easy-to-read, nondogmatic style. I highly recommed this book.

Unfounded Loyalty: The Book that sets it all straight

A book for the ages. There have been many people whom have stood up and pointed out misdeeds, injustices, and false representation. Sometimes these people face tremendous trial and trouble, especially when they probe deep into the fibers of the tightly woven fabric of such a lukerative and powerful institution as the Democratic Party. Mr. Perryman as an author takes a very unique approach at exposing very disturbing truths deeply hidden in the history of the Democratic Party. This thought provoking book is going to stir up a lot of controversy and trouble, and put Mr. Wayne Perryman in the hot seat. And rightfully so, how dare a man bring forth the notion that the Democratic Party has been anything but good to African American people? Truth is truth, Mr. Perryman's accurate research brings out the hard hitting facts. Read this book, get informed, and decide where your loyalty should be. In order to understand the tendencies of an institution, you must understand its origination. My eyes are further opened, this is a MUST READ for every person of all nationalities and political background. History and knowledge know no color or political party. Get to the truth.

Learn about "The Rest of the Story"

Unfounded Loyalty is an eye opening look at the facts of black history and role that religion, in particular Christianity, plays in it. I read this book over the course of several days and liked it so much that I bought a copy (28) for all of my graduating seniors at the high school at which I teach. Since it is a school that is 58% African American and 90% students of color over all, I felt it important to challenge their critical thinking skills. They must know the "why" behind what they do and make real choices. I also dedicated a class period to the discussion of several passages from this book. It is a must read for every African American in this country.
