Ex KKK Leader David Duke States, “I Believe My Time Has Come”

[BertramN]

.
The Republican establishment spent decades convincing the right wing that bigotry, racism, religious intolerance, xenophobia, homophobia, and misogyny are virtues conservatism holds dear. Donald Trump's nomination proved the years of brainwashing efforts by GOP leaders over there conservative supporters has been wildly successful.



Now, former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke sees the overwhelming support Donald Trump has received from the lily white, Christian whites as validation for his own decades of unconscionable acts and preaching of racial hatred as Klan leader. Duke looks upon this white Christian conservative endorsement of blanket hatred for non-whites, non-Christians, gays, foreigners, etc. as an invitation to run for U.S. Senator from Louisiana.



The Republican establishment’s success in the indoctrination of their weak-minded voting base is coming back to bite them in the butt, and is leaving them scrambling to stop a problem they have been creating since the Nixon administration.



With candidates like Trump, Duke, and others of this disgusting ilk, the GOP’s days as a major political party are numbered. Respectable, rational U.S. citizens will refuse to vote for politicians of such questionable beliefs. Fortunately, the ignorant bigots in our country represent a much too small minority to control American politics.



Despite the fact that conservative politicians like Trump and Duke will serve the needs of crooks like the Koch Brothers, even the Kochs and their dishonest friends will have nothing to do with these Republican candidates of such low moral quality.

Despite the firm belief of right-wingers to the contrary, denial of facts in no way refutes them, and changing the subject does not win the debate.

Until you guys dump the black supremacist lunatics your party will open to a fatal counterblow, if the GOP chooses to employ it in full force.

I find the OP completely incomprehensible. It sounds like BertramN hates someone, I'm just not sure who he hates. Is it Republicans in general, or just conservatives? Or does he hate white people? Really, I can't tell. BertramN, please rephrase, and this time, please explain explicitly who exactly you hate, and why.

 

[yiostheoy]

Duke reminds me of Goldwater.

Goldwater is the father of "conservatism".

He named it.

Now Duke is trying to link himself with Trump.

Not sure if the GOP will endorse him in his bid for a GOP senate seat in Louisiana.

Seems unlikely to me.

Do you realize that Goldwater was a Civil Rights warrior...? That the democrats have smeared a good man as they smear anyone who gets in their way....

Have you done any research into who Goldwater was or what he believed and actually did....vs....what the democrats lied about him?

Goldwater would have nothing to do with duke......duke's home is in the democrat party...

You are perpetuating the left wing smear of Goldwater.....

He was also right about the power given to the government under the 1964 Civil Rights act......ask Christian bakers.......

Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics

Civil Rights and the Constitution
Throughout the 1964 campaign, Goldwater was unfairly attacked as a racist. He was called “a hopeless captive of the lunatic calculating right-wing extremists” by baseball legend Jackie Robinson. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. declared that if Goldwater were elected, the nation would erupt into “violence and riots, the like of which we have never seen before.”[18]

The major reason for the extremist rhetoric was Goldwater’s reluctant vote, on constitutional grounds, against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Goldwater, who had voted for the 1957 and 1960 civil rights bills, wanted to support the 1964 act but objected to two of its provisions: Title II (public accommodations) and Title VII (fair employment).

Drawing on a legal analysis prepared by Robert Bork, then a professor at Yale, Goldwater said that he could find “no constitutional basis for the exercise of Federal regulatory authority in either of these areas.” He feared that Title VII would culminate in government dictating hiring and firing policy. He was not persuaded when Senator Hubert Humphrey, who guided the legislation through the Senate, insisted that the act “does not require an employer to achieve any kind of racial balance in his work force by giving preferential treatment to any individual or group.”[19] As Goldwater warned, preferential treatment, or affirmative action, mandated by government became general practice.

Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment.

He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard.

One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.

Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started.


Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.

In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published.

An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room.

A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]

That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign.

Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

More on Goldwater......

| National Review
while he described himself as being unprejudiced on what was at the time referred to as “the race question,” the fact was that he did not talk much about it, at least in public. His family department stores were desegregated under his watch, though he was not known to hire blacks to work there. But when the Arizona legislature was considering making segregation voluntary in the public schools, Goldwater was lobbying for it behind the scenes. And, perhaps more important, he organized a group of well-known white conservative leaders to do so as well. He did so on the advice of his friend Lincoln Ragsdale.

---------

The Ragsdales worked with the NAACP and the Arizona Council for Civic Unity/Greater Phoenix Council for Civic Unity to fight segregation in restaurants, theaters, and other public places in Phoenix, but the schools were the biggest target. When Lincoln was working to raise money for the NAACP for a lawsuit to integrate the schools, he turned to every possible source he could think of, including the conservative city councilman Barry Goldwater. To his surprise, Goldwater responded with a large check. What surprised him further was that Goldwater became a personal friend and political colleague of the couple, a “great inspiration,” in Lincoln’s words. The Ragsdales, Lincoln said, became the people to whom Goldwater brought “questions about how we felt about certain things, and we’d try to give him a very honest appraisal of it.” Goldwater supported most of the civil-rights legislation that preceded the famous 1964 act, which he opposed as unconstitutional. But as Ragsdale points out in Race Work, he also “helped make Tuskegee airman Chappie James a four-star general while he was in the Senate,” funded the school-integration lawsuit, and raised money to keep the Urban League solvent when it was on the verge of dissolution.

-------
But funding the lawsuit may have been the most important thing Goldwater did in his civil-rights career. As the historian Quintard Taylor of the University of Washington puts it: “Most historians characterize the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education as the death knell for de jure public school segregation. Yet a little-known legal victory by . . . the Arizona NAACP before the Arizona State Supreme Court in 1953 provided an important precedent for the ruling by the highest court in the land.”

The NAACP had not been getting very far suing on behalf of black students, but it had made some progress with suits on behalf of Mexican-American students: A 1951 decision had outlawed segregating Hispanic students in the Tolleson School District, and Phoenix refused to comply with the new legal standard, so it was targeted for a lawsuit, too: one that would have ended racial discrimination against any student.

At times, it must have seemed as if segregation in the schools was the cornerstone upon which all segregation stood. Lincoln Ragsdale thought so, and Taylor relates the sentiments of a Phoenix businessman who said: “As long as they attend separate schools, I won’t let them drink in my bar or sit in my theater.” With the support of Goldwater and others, the NAACP sponsored a series of rallies, protests, and fund-raising efforts in support of its litigation. The NAACP’s federal lawsuit went nowhere.


Federal judge David Ling, another FDR appointee, threw the case out on the grounds that the state courts rather than the federal courts were the proper channel for the challenge. New litigation was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, seeking an end to racial discrimination against any student, and in 1953 — a year before Brown — segregation was declared illegal in Phoenix, with the presiding judge declaring: “A half century of intolerance is enough.” But Phoenix was the last major city in the west to end segregation of its own accord.


Barry Goldwater was not the most important opponent of racial segregation in Arizona, nor was he the most important champion of desegregating the public schools.

What he was was on the right side: He put his money, his political clout, his business connections, and his reputation at the service of a cause that was right and just.

While he was doing all that, his eventual nemesis, Lyndon Baines Johnson, a low-rent practitioner of the most crass sort of racist politics, was gutting anti-lynching laws and assuring Democrats that he would offer those “uppity Negroes” “just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”
