ACLU Leader Says Voter ID Law Akin to Jim Crow-Era Law

So what is your point? You do realize that it was primarily the civil rights movement that caused many southern democrats to switch to the Republican Party, right? This is not something I'd be boasting about if I was a (non-racist) Republican.

There were many from every political party and from every religious faith, plus atheists and agnostics, who were championing civil rights in the United States, and many foreigners as well.

Martin Luther King was a devout Christian and as a result it would be closer to the truth that Christians most helped to bring civil rights to the Southern United States, not irreligious left wingers.

It was not southern Democrats, either.

And? It was the civil rights movement that turned the South from blue to red. Deal with it.

I have no trouble dealing with it.

LBJ deserves a lot of credit from the Democrats for creating a sub class to become dependent on government largess. BHO is continuing much the same tradition with unions.

It may not be good for America, but it's great party politics.

Because the C-Corp way, 15 million people out of work, is better for America. :thumbs:

Wow! Where do we begin to point out what is wrong with that statement? Civil rights legislation created a sub class dependent on government largesse? Barack Obama is creating the same through supporting unions?

So, blacks are the ones on welfare, wouldn't be if we'd kept Jim Crow alive, and unions are also creating dependency on government largesse, is that the ideas you're trying to promote?

Really?
 
Looks like sanity is rearing its ugly head in a few U.S. jurisdictions. A Wisconsin judge just suspended that state's voter ID law, stating:


Great, we can't efficiently register, and get ID to people to vote, but we can run their health care....Wonderful.

BP can't pump oil out of the ground without polluting thousands of miles of pristine coastline, be we want them to drill more wells.... Super.

What the....? Why I thought Obama was so good at handling the spill that a mere wave of his hand cleared the Gulf, and made everything all okey, dokey....

You know how the quote system works, right? Please quote where I said that. Do that and we can deal with the rest of your post.
 
Ask the kids in DC that were actually starting to get an education, before Obama came to town as President that is....

Could you provide some details on this drive-by accusation please?

He's just trying to get as many conservative bogeymen into one post as he can.

1) Welfare recipients. Check
2) Unions. Check
3) Obama. Check

All he needs now is Sandra Fluke and the liberal media, and he'll get all of his points.

I thought you guys hated Federal programs. Obama cuts one and it's "Goddamn Obama!"

Make up your mind.

I did quote what you said, and yes, the subject was civil rights. Perhaps you didn't really mean what the words you posted seem to mean.

But, I have no way of knowing what's in your head, just what the words you post say.
 
Meanwhile, Texas Republican lawmakers have millions of their legitimate voting citizens that would not be allowed to vote with their still-to-be-approved nonessential 'emergency' voter ID law.

Texas secretary of state officials did not find matching 2012 driver’s licenses or state-issued photo IDs for 2.4million of the state’s 12.8million registered voters, though all but about 800,000 of those voters supplied a valid ID number when they first registered to vote.

C'mon now. You're an honest guy.

Quote where I said that ""Civil rights legislation created a sub class dependent on government largesse"".

I said no such thing.

That's right, which is why I'm asking you to quote what I said, not what you think I said.

The feck you didn't.

I think having ID too vote is a perfectly reasonable minimum requirement that would do alot to keep the vote honest. The Dem's like too vote early vote often and ID would stop that so they are against it.

Zero evidence this is happening. The Republicans, who claim to be against unnecessary regulation, sure like regulations when convenient to their purposes.

Does that mention civil rights legislation at all?

Again, where did i say """Civil rights legislation created a sub class dependent on government largesse".

It was other programs which created a sub class culture, not civil rights legislation. I also mentioned BHO and Unions at the same time. Do you feel this also refers to civil rights legislation?

Leftists are sooooooooooo stupid!

No, conservatives are against unnecessary regulation. Rebublicans, no matter what label they like to wear, are rarely actual conservatives.
 
But you don't know, do you?

That's so left.
No, it's pretty common for anyone to assume that when a person is a self-confessed conservative (says "conservative" right on the front page) their publications will also have a conservative skew to them.

I wouldn't expect you to believe that a Black Panther publication was an objective view of civil rights, either. :shrug:


But I'm not closed minded like some people - nor am I "left" for that matter.

The subject of the post you were responding to was civil rights legislation.
