Conservatives historically have fought against every expansion of voters' rights. Thankfully, conservatives are historically almost always on the wrong side of history,
as will be the fate of contemporary conservatives.
The only difference between Custers Last Stand and what Im about to do to you is that Custer didnt have to read the post afterwards.
1. Democrat Progressive Woodrow Wilson was a white supremacist; he accepted uncritically the post-Reconstruction South, and its methods that arranged to keep black Americans in their place. He, himself, was responsible for segregating government buildings. Chace, "1912," P.43
a. In 1915, he advised his second wife, whose niece was to marry a Panamanian: It would be bad enough at best to have anyone we love marry into a Central American family, because their is the presumption that the blood in not unmixed. Louis Auchincloss, Woodrow Wilson, p.6.
b. Compare this with TR, who dined with Booker T. Washington, at the White House. For this he was criticized by Congress, and never did so again.
c. Blacks, of course, saw Wilson as a southern white supremacist: at Princeton, he banned blacks, and he supported a Jim Crow South.
d. The filmmaker David W. Griffith quoted Wilson's two-volume history of the United States, now notorious for its racist view of Reconstruction, in his infamous masterpiece The Clansman, a paean to the Ku Klux Klan for its role in putting down "black-dominated" Republican state governments during Reconstruction. Griffith based the movie on a book by Wilson's former classmate, Thomas Dixon, whose obsession with race was "unrivaled until Mein Kampf." At a private White House showing, Wilson saw the movie, now retitled Birth of a Nation, and returned Griffith's compliment: "It is like writing history with lightning, and my only regret is that it is all so true." Griffith would go on to use this quotation in successfully defending his film against NAACP charges that it was racially inflammatory. Ode to Woodrow Wilson | UT Watch on the Web
2.How about your abysmal knowledge about women's right to vote?
a. It was a Republican who introduced what became the 19th Amendment, womens suffrage. On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann (1856-1922), a Republican from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, proposed the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The measure passed the House 304-89a full 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority. 19th Amendment — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and Facts
b. The 1919 vote in the House of Representatives was possible because Republicans had retaken control of the House. Attempts to get it passed through Democrat-controlled Congresses had failed.
c. The Senate vote was approved only after a Democrat filibuster; and 82% of the Republican Senators voted for it .and 54% of the Democrats.
d. 26 of the 36 states that ratified the 19th Amendment had Republican legislatures.
Now.....don't you wish you remained past junior high school?
Any truth to the rumor that that they added a plaque to your seat in the dumb row 'cause you occupied it for so many years?
Yup.....you're a Pod.
Not to be a nag but you didn't answer my question.
Since you seem to like Ann Coulter's ideology, do you agree with her that women shouldn't have the right to vote, given the majority of women didn't vote the way she (or you) wanted them to?
Are you actually claiming that conservatives....I am one...would endorse depriving anyone of the right to vote if they "didn't vote the way she (or you) wanted them to"?
Please...be very careful with your answer, as it is a political Stanford-Binet IQ Test....and, having but one question, puts a lot of pressure on you.
I'm trying very hard to save you additional embarrassment.
