President Obama presumed to lecture benighted Americans at the National Prayer Breakfast to not ”get on our high horse,” and to remember all the really bad things Christians did, including maintaining and justifying slavery and Jim Crow.

The next time Obama gets on his high horse to, once again, chastise Christians, Republicans, and people who cling to guns and religion about their myriad faults and depredations, he would do well to remember that his party was the party of slavery and that Jim Crow was instituted, supported, and maintained by the Democratic party.
