I did. Conservatives, as they have throughout all of history, long for what things were like 50 years ago.
When we were championing the Civil Rights movement you people were trying to stop?
Those were social liberals. The social conservatives of the south happened to be Democrats at the time yes.
Wrong. Those were conservative Christians. The civil rights movement was bathed in prayer, praise, and Christian piety. The Leftists of that day promoted segregation and Jim Crow. You people have ALWAYS been on the wrong side of history.
Religion can equally be a force for good as evil. Yes many Christians fought to end segregation, but in the south white churches were the most racist, pro-segregation force against the movement. Members of certain denominations, such as Southern Baptists, led the efforts to keep segregation in place. Those people were once solidly lock-step Democrat voters. After the civil rights movement, they switched parties. And now those same southern social conservatives are the ones leading the charge against gay people and people of other faiths; including other Christians.
The Democrat party btw has not won the white vote in a presidential election since 1964, and won it nearly every time before then. What could possibly have happened?
what happened? they took their racism and statist beliefs to the national level...where they wanted to keep blacks enslaved before the civil rights movement...the New Democrats realized they could enslave all Americans with government welfare......
The parties did not switch...the racists are still in the democrat party...they never left....they just added the racists of the other colors,of people....now the Latino racists.....la raza...the black racists...the naacp, the southern poverty law center, al sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah wright and Barack Obama....joined with the remnants and students of the white racists......bill clinton's political mentor was arch segregationist j. William fullbright...and don't forget Robert Byrd....
so the modern democrat party is the home of all racism.....
