you for concentration camps and secret trials for enemies, like the Dems did, and don't consider freeing the slaves a success, which the Repubs did? And the Dems' Vietnam was a really good idea, right? How about the Korean War and 55,000 dead Americans? You like that, right? They didn't attack us. Enough death to satisfy the libs? And you're against civil rights for blacks?
You believe the KKK and Byrd are looking out for the little guy?
Repubs supported the Civil Rights Act in greater % than Dems.
Republicans favored the bill 138 to 34; Democrats supported it 152-96.
In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.
