Amusing how many professed Liberals/Democrats/Progressive drones force themselves to believe that suddenly....in 1964.....the slaver party had an epiphany....slapped themselves on the forehead....and proclaimed:
'now I love my darker brethren! I was sooooo wrong to lynch thousands of 'em....and block anti-lynching laws....and impose Jim Crow!!! Oh, woe is me! I'm gonna turn over a new leaf!'
No...they always were racists and remain such.
The Dixiecrats weren't Dixiecans....they were Democrats and continued to be Democrats.
The dolts on the board claim a sudden change in the life-long views of Democrats....
Yet the dolts on this board can't imagine themselves suddenly embracing Republican ideas and politics.
But pretend that the Democrats did just that.
Indoctrination is indelible.
"Prior to 1957, LBJ “had never supported civil rights legislation- any civil rights legislation. In the Senate and House alike, his record was an unbroken one of votes against every civil rights bill that had ever come to a vote: against voting rights bills; against bills that would have struck at job discrimination and at segregation in other areas of American life; even against bills that would have protected blacks from lynching.”
Robert Caro, “Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, vol.3,” p. xv.
Same for Bill Clinton.
here is something even better. Barry Goldwater supported the 1957 Civil Rights act.
Goldwater was a life-long warrior for civil rights....slandered by the Democrats.
- According to this liberal myth, Goldwater and the Republicans were racists and used racism to appeal to racist southerners to change the electoral map. To believe the tale, one must be either a reliable Democrat voter, and/or be ignorant of the history of the time.
- . "Principle is nothing to liberals. Winning is everything."
- “He ended racial segregation in his family department stores, and he was instrumental in ending it in Phoenix schools and restaurants and in the Arizona National Guard.” Washingtonpost.com: Barry Goldwater Dead at 89
That is a lie. Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER with every one of those Southern Democrats you call racists.
btw, Goldwater's reward for voting against the Civil Rights Act was the Republican presidential nomination.
And, broad support across the South from those Democrats who were in fact CONSERVATIVES.
How could it be a lie, you moron.
#2 above says
When Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights act, it was due to libertarian belief that the commerce clause did not allow restrictions on private property.
