Separating blacks and whites was a horrible thing democrats tried....thank god republicans ended it..,,End to slavery, desegregation, civil rights, economic prosperity, self reliance, charity. Etc.
HAHAH.....be a bit more specific there, champ. Especially the part about civil rights and economic prosperity. Maybe you can start with the failed "trickle down economics" or how it was your side that insisted on segregating blacks from whites.

Republican party back then was the same as the Democrat party today. Everyone knows this.
I love the smell of desperation in the evening.
It's so...... well....... humiliating.
Nothing desperate about it, it's a fact that they were progressive at that time.
Delusional.Republican party back then was the same as the Democrat party today. Everyone knows this.
Name ONE positive thing to come from Republican policy.
What? Surely you aren't that partisan?
The GOP have done plenty of positive things, though none are recent.
Setting up the Interstate Highway System, one of the greatest achievements post WWII -- Eisenhower.
Making NASA a civilian space agency, passing the Science Education Law -- Eisenhower.
Sending in troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce racial desegregation in schools -- Eisenhower.
Opening up relations with China, one of the biggest accomplishments -- Nixon.
Large scale desegregation of public schools down South -- Nixon.
Man on the Moon in 1969 -- Nixon (though the ground work was done during Johnson's time).
Cooperation between NASA and Soviet space program -- Nixon.
End of the Cold War, fall of the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe- Ronald Reagan.
No Child Left Behind Act -- this was a landmark act for disadvantaged students -- George W. Bush
Promotion of alternative fuels to reduce US dependence on Oil -- George W. Bush
Produced William F. Buckley, Jr.
The Republican party wasn't always the sh*tstorm it is today. There was a time when it was a party was suffused with, and more importantly led by humane, intelligent and thoughtful individuals of integrity, or at least more of it than is apparent these days, even considering Watergate, which was an abuse of executive power for political gain, not for personal gain, self-aggrandizement and browbeating opponents.

Does stylfe wyfe want to back away from his own OP now?
Kill the thread before you look any dumber then you already do.
when the GOP was liberal!
we freed the slaves
unfortunately, modern democrats are hellbent to put them back on & keep them on the plantation
great thread - thanks!
Ehhhh Wrong!!! Nice try though, made me laugh.
So what party drafted and was ultimately responsible for getting the 13th Amendment ratified? Oh yeah, the Republican Party.
Who broke a Democratic filibuster on the Civil Rights Act of 1964? A Republican, Everett Dirksen.
Want more?
And you still haven't.
I did, you dullard. We all have, and you refuse to see it. We obliterated your thread.
Your delusions are amusing.
So far the DOW is in record territory withinin thirty days of Trump's election and he doesn't even have his entire appointments due to the democrat party dragging their feet to avoid the inevitable. Barry Hussein gave us "cash for clunkers" in his first year.

Ha ha. Yeah, you need more. As in context.
No, I'm afraid Everett Dirksen didn't come flying in with a red S on his spandex chest. He had a lead role, but so did Hubert Humphrey and Mike Mansfield -- and of course LBJ who was pushing it.

Committed to the filibuster effort were the powerful Senators Richard Russell, Thurmond, Robert Byrd, William Fulbright and Sam Ervin. Russell started the filibuster in late March 1964, and it would last for 60 working days in the Senate.
Behind the scenes, two opposing leaders were working to find a way to get 67 votes: the Democratic Senate whip, Hubert Humphrey and the Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen of Illinois.
At first, Dirksen opposed the House version of the bill because of certain passages, even though he was a long-time civil rights supporter. Humphrey, a Democrat, worked together with his Republican colleague to make the bill more acceptable to Republicans, while not weakening its powers.
On June 10, 1964, Dirksen made a powerful speech that served to bring more Republicans onto his side in the fight.
Dirksen made his case and then quoted the author Victor Hugo: “Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come.” The Senator then reminded his colleagues that the Republican Party stood for equality since its founding in the years before the Civil War.
That same day, the Humphrey-Dirksen group got 71 votes to end the filibuster, four more than needed, as 27 Republicans had decided to support the Act.
During the vote, the terminally ill Senator from California, Clair Engle, was brought to the floor in a wheelchair. Unable to speak because of a brain tumor, Engle pointed to his eye to signify his Yes vote.
President Johnson signed the bill on July 2 in a nationally televised ceremony. << ---- ConstitutionCenter.org
Horrors! Bipartisan cooperation!? That's USMB heresy! I shall now be burnt at the stake.
The way summa y'all get your history learnin' from a message board insted of actual history books is, shall we say, amusing.
It's made the media look like the rest of the democratic partyName ONE positive thing to come from Republican policy.

Why? Why would I do any such thing? This is great stuff! Keep 'em coming! Keep naming these great things that came from when the GOP was liberal!
You're funny.So far the DOW is in record territory withinin thirty days of Trump's election and he doesn't even have his entire appointments due to the democrat party dragging their feet to avoid the inevitable. Barry Hussein gave us "cash for clunkers" in his first year.
I hope you haven't forgotten that the Dow climbed from 7,949.09 when Obama took office, after the previous Republican "ideas" obliterated the stock market, and took it to just under 20,000 his last day in office.
Since the OP wants to move the goalpost cause he got his ass whooped in the second post.. Let's just be honest.
Neither party has done any good for the country in a whole, in a while. Unless you are rich, an illegal or a terrorist, you've been fucked.
