Martin Luther King was a republican. The republicans granted blacks the right to vote and made discrimination illegal, while the DEMOCRATS filibustered these things. The Democrat's longest serving leader, Robert Byrd, personally filibustered the civil rights bill for fourteen hours and thirteen minutes. The democrat's second longest serving senator, Strom Thurmond, also filibustered the bill, but the republicans wouldn't relent and eventually passed it. Before being elected as a democrat senator non-stop from 1959 to 2010, Byrd's first elected office was as an elected leader of the KKK.

As soon as the republicans overcame these democrat filibusters so that blacks would have the right to vote, the democrats shit their pants. Millions of new voters hated them bitterly. The democrat's strategy was brilliant - start calling the REPUBLICANS racist, all day, every day. Before long, the "illiterate n------s" would be confused about who actually supported their right to vote and who opposed it. It's fucking brilliant. An elected official of the KKK and calling the OTHER GUYS racist!

Is this out of character for the republicans? It was almost an exact repeat of 98 earlier, the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Republicans passed that act making blacks citizens, over democrat opposition. THe emancipation proclamation - republican.

So the fact is, republicans make huge advances in civil rights while democrats who are elected leaders of the KKK call them racist and try to stop civil rights.

Is this ancient history, the civil rights movement? A leading democrat senator used the N word on TV just recently:

These are the guys calling the republicans racist.




Would you agree that "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem"?

That quote is from Reagan's inaugural address and I think it's one of the most succint statements of the biggest difference between the parties -
Republican government and democrat government both suck; the republicans know they suck and seek to have less. Compare Obama's promise to "remake America" - the implication being his government should force radical changes on the whole nation.
