Democrats have always had a “thug arm” of their party to keep voters in line. In the old days it was the KKK. Today it is unions, groups such as SEIU, etc. Ingeniously, they also now use groups like the NAACP. You have to hand it to them – it’s pretty ingenious to use blacks to keep other blacks “in their place”. How very sad that black America has allowed themselves to be enslaved once again. I am yearning for the day when blacks in this great nation realize the glory of the INDIVIDUAL and realize that they live in a country where they have develop their own thoughts and ideas and, yes, even VOTE the way they want, rather than waiting to see how Jesse Jackson tells them to vote for.

Strom Thurmond, like any politician, ran on any platform he thought would get him elected (1948). He had an illegitimate black daughter that he took care of (financially) his whole life. Perhaps his change to the party of Lincoln (first Republican President) was getting tired of the racist Democrats.

The Republican Party was created in 1854 with one of it’s main purposes was to abolish slavery.

The Democratic Party had a 40 year control of both the House and the Senate (40s to 90s). From 1958 to 1968, the least number of Democratic Senators was 64. The most, over the same ten year period, was 68. Do you all remember the big deal of which party in both 2008 and 2010 could get to 60 or keep the other from achieving 60?

Why, with 64-68 Democratic Senators from 1958-68 did the Democrats have such a hard time passing the Civil Rights Bill? They controlled the House and had more than a majority (some say super) in the Senate. Why so hard to pass?

If the focus is whether Democrats passed every one of our nation’s civil rigthts laws, that is a lie. It is not accurate.

But…
Democrats, liberal democrats and moderates were the impetus of the recent (1960′s – present). In addition, Democratic presidents were instrumental in changes.

I was focusing on the idea that racist democrats migrated to the Republican party. That is true. Today, if you are a person who believes in white superiority. You either don’t vote, vote extreme right wing, or vote democratic for President. On the local level it is more complex because some Democrats in the south are still descendants of dixiecrats but the trend is clear.

Republicans believe in less govt. Less government when the society is racist = a party that supports racism.

And I can appreciate the response because no one likes being called a racist when they know they’re not, right newlib?

But the point of the original piece (which the argumentative left always ignores) is the two paragraphs on the Democrats.org’s “History” says to this day,

“Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws, and every law that protects workers. Most recently, Democrats stood together to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act.

On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight.”

THAT IS A LIE and to defend that makes one what…?

i’m a proud democrat. the southern wing of our party was racist through the 1960′s. Some like byrd, hollings, stayed and changed (presumably), while others (and their voters) left to be indepdents and republicans. It is nonsense to argue that southern republicans supported the liberal goals of the civil rights movement.

At one time, both parties had conservatives, moderates, and liberals. Where liberal republicans were just that. and conservative democrats were just that. Today, the most conservative democrat (ben nelson or lieberman) would be a liberal republican. And the most liberal republican would be a conservative democrats. The party’s have separated by ideology. People take this reality and try to confuse the history.

Conservatives (used to be dems) support less taxes, less regulationi, less big goverment intrusion, move to republicans esp. in the face of big government forcing regulations (racial) that they disliked, and to pay taxes to force schools to open up.

Please be serious.

lastly,
people are conflating northern liberal republicans-who today would resemble democrats. and western more liberaterian republicans with southern republicans;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
shows of the 10 southern republican senations
0 out 10 voted for civil rights.

they then used this as a base to expand

@newliberal
Strom Thurmond was one of the first senators to hire a black staffer. Would a racist in a racist party do that while Democrat Robert Byrd was filibustering the Civil Rights Act?

And you’ve also admitted there were racists in the Democrat Party. You just left a bunch out. Wikipedia as a source? I guess you are a “new liberal”.

I believe in free speech. But people who don’t can point to posts like this to show the damage. I’ll lead with facts:

Strom Thurmond who was a “dixiecrat” switched to republicans in 1964 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_thurmond. He ran on a racist platform 1948, and moved with the conservatives from dem to rep. in the 1960′s.

When politicians of that era use “local control, state’s rights” it may have had many meanings, but one of the most prevalant was segregation and racism. That is undisputed.

To the idea that Southern segregationists moved to the GOP and that the GOP has subsequently been detrimental to the South, let me pass along two words:

“Atlanta, Detroit”
