Let's look at the Democrats responsible for resisting Civil Rights legislation during the 1950s and 60s. Democrats like George Wallace, James Stennis, Strom Thurmond, Lester Maddox. Sure, these men were big D Democrats.
Were they Liberals? Were they pushing for an expansion of the federal government vis social programs and benefit packages? Were they the tree hugging, Birkenstock wearing, hippy dippy Liberals today's Conservatives love to hate?
Or were they advocating state's rights? Were they the champions of smaller government? Did they favor laws that made discrimination illegal? Did they advocate equal pay for equal work? Were Labor Unions big contributors to their campaigns?
In fact, ideologically, philosophically, these men were in line with the tenets of modern Conservative ideology. They were Conservatives. They would have agreed with the restrictive laws that clamp down on immigrants that Arizona has passed. They would have been endorsing laws that ban same sex marriages. They would have been championing any effort to eradicate the USEPA. In short, those bigots are your people.
