I
have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the
content of their character.
James Buchanan, a lousy president celebrated
by
the left for what? For being gay. Which is precisely the
reason we
are saddled with our current lousy president; he was without a single
notable accomplishment, but was a (properly uber-liberal) Black man
(and also gay, but that's an aside). The left seemingly revere
lifelong Republican, Dr. Martin Luther King, yet dismiss entirely
his
signature "dream" philosophy.

The story of the
Democrats (available in its entirety free see
details below) continues by exposing how Democrat James Buchanan helped
insure America would be plunged into a Civil War and the evidence that
he was our first Gay president.
James Buchanan 1857 to 1861
Among the pre-Civil War Democrat Presidents, perhaps
the worst
and most disastrous to America was James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian who
is widely thought of as America’s first gay President. [25]
Buchanan, a member of both the Jackson and the Pierce
Administrations, was sufficiently light in the loafers to have been
regularly referred to as Mrs. James Buchanan by
Franklin Pierce and Aunt Fancy by Andrew Jackson. [26]
While it is not clear whether their cohabitation was
continuous
from 1834 on, it is known that James Buchanan and his obviously gay
companion William Rufus King moved in together at Buchanan’s Lancaster
County home at 1120 Marietta Avenue, Wheatland, Pennsylvania.
Women be damned
When William Rufus King was off on a trip to France
in 1844, Buchanan wrote his “roommate” saying:
“I am now solitary and alone, having no companion in
the house
with me. I have gone a-wooing to several gentlemen, but have not
succeeded with any one of them. I feel that it is not good for man to
be alone; and should not be astonished to find myself married to some
old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners for me
when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic
affection.” [27]
While James Buchanan was not responsible for it, the Dred
Scott Decision
of 1857–barring African American slaves from the protections of the US
Constitution – handed down by Democrat appointee Justice Roger Taney’s
Court just two days after Buchanan’s inauguration, was made far more
explosive by the new president’s idiotic comments on its potential.
During his Inaugural Address Buchanan assured the
nation that he
wanted slavery to be a state issue and opined that slavery would cease
to be an issue after the upcoming decision was handed down and settled
the matter once and for all. [28]
The Court denied a petition for freedom from Dred
Scott, a slave
who argued that since he had been taken from Missouri – a slave state –
to Illinois– a free state – then brought back to Missouri, he had in
effect been freed by his captors.
Taney’s Court ruled against Scott and ordered him
returned to his
captor’s family, lighting the fuse that would eventually explode into
the Civil War.
In the pre-Civil War era, the Dred Scott case was the
most infamous to come from the high court since our nation’s founding.
Among other things, the ruling claimed, the Federal
government has no right whatsoever to restrict slavery in the
territories.
While Buchanan, a doughface (a northerner
with southern
leanings) and advocate of slave owners in the South may have somehow
convinced himself that a Supreme Court decision was all it would take
to heal the nation, he was surely very mistaken.
Swift Reaction
Northern abolitionists reacted with fury to the Dred
Scott
decision while southerners lauded it as a triumph of their views. The
nation had never before been more divided.
With the exception of Associate Justice Samuel
Nelson, who was
not nominated by a Democrat, and Associate Justices Benjamin Curtis and
John Campbell, both the only Republican appointees, all of the other
Justices on Taney’s Court were Democrats.
Buchanan’s clumsy handling of the aftermath of the
decision was
made worse by suspicions that in spite of being a Pennsylvanian he
favored slavery because his “roommate” William Rufus King was a
Senator from the slave-holding state Alabama.
During Buchanan’s administration, the tensions
between the
Northern states and the Southern Democrats who held slaves grew by the
month. Most Northerners barely tolerated slavery and kept a wary eye on
controlling its spread into new and established territories seeking
admission to the Union.
Not unlike the position of modern Democrats on the
issue of gay
“marriage,” abortion, and special rights for their voters, the mid
1850s Southern Democrats were not content with mere “tolerance,”
they demanded acceptance of slavery as a moral and justifiable
part of American life.
As always the Democrats of Buchanan’s day were
concerned with
matters of self-preservation first, last and always. In the matter of
slavery they were quite willing to kidnap and hold other human beings
in bondage to attain their goals.
Buchanan on slavery: Blacks be damned
The majority of James Buchanan’s Cabinet were either
actual slave holders (four) or pro-South token Northerners. [29]
On the Emancipation of slaves, Buchanan once said it
would turn
slaves into masters and…. “who could for a moment indulge in the
horrible idea of abolishing slavery by the massacre of the high-minded
and the chivalrous race of men in the South? . . . For my own part I
would, without hesitation, buckle on my knapsack, and march . . . in
defense of their cause.”
N.B. This was just another Democrat empty promise
given that Buchanan never fought for the Confederacy.

of this as an antidote to the Howard
Zinn school of American History that's taken hold in today's
classrooms. And, oh, if Ronald
Reagan turned out to have been homosexual, it would not in the
slightest deter from his record as great American leader. By the
by, I asked for, and immediately received, Coach Collins's book.
