I've never heard that one before. I see "Tea Bagger" a lot. I used to be more reserved in my verbiage until I witnessed the response by liberals to the Tea Party. I realized the Democrat party won't stop with their derogatory word usage so I decided I should start taking a page out of their book.
Fair enough, and you probably think those who use the term are idiots, as do I of those who insist on childishly refusing to use the term "Democratic" party. But do what you want, as I said I have no objection - nice identifier for me.
Nope. I pointed out that crediting LBJ with Kennedy's legacy is wrong. LBJ's signature policies did nothing for Civil Rights, they just grew the government.
LBJ pushed and signed the civil and voting rights acts. As a Southerner he could have sat on those and just allowed them to die. He didn't. I'm not sure why you're invested in robbing him of any credit for it.
The Republicans were operating on the 1883 Supreme Court ruling on a similar anti-discrimination bill passed by Congress in 1875 ([URL="http://www.americanbar.org

Sorry but I don't know what the issue we're debating is.
They weren't conservative. Southern Democrats were big government entitlement progressives. I find it funny that you find a "right to work" to be Conservative. :roll:
It's sure as hell not "liberal" to oppose the interests of labor unions, forever a giant and influential democratic bloc of money and voters.
And non-Whites were "naturally aligned" with the Democrats too, apparently.
Holy Irony, Batman! "Non-Whites" have voted Democrat since before the CRA, are you saying that non-Whites were too stupid to know this? I am sure that the appeal of big government nanny state programs had the same appeal in the 1940s, 50s and 60s for the poor as it always had.
OK, more democrats bad, GOP good. Fine.
Also, I couldn't care less if you are offended. I am objecting to the false and simplified narrative that Democrats have used for decades that said that racist white southerners flooded to the GOP after the CRA which statistics and all evidence shows didn't happen. I point out that the Southern Democrats didn't suddenly become Republicans, they stayed Democrats, and you get offended.
Great, the simplified notion that democrats were the REAL racists is BS and so is the simplified notion that all the racists immediately changes parties to the GOP after the CRA.
I like your "probably".
Well, some small number of blacks were allowed to register. I'm just trying to be accurate.
