I'm not normally one for partisan hackery but...?

Because they were home-schooled for the most part. They got the Fox News version of history. They also think the earth is 6,000 years old and that a talking snake existed instead of accepting the scientific fact of evolution.

I suppose because it is true. Senator Al Gore Senior led the filibuster attempt to stop the civil rights legislation along with Bill Clinton's mentor, Senator Fullbright and the former KKK grand dragon but still serving Democrat Senator, Robert Byrd.

When Democrats erroneously try to take credit for passing civil rights laws instead of acknowledging that far more Republicans voted for it than Democrats, we seek to correct the record.

We, the Conservatives of America, live in the world of reality. We despise revisionist history.

Because we're sick of you guys calling us racists for the simple reason that we are conservatives. The truth is, the Republicans pushed for civil rights, the Democrats opposed them and when fmr. President Johnson realized it was going to be political death for him not to sign the bill, he hijacked it and signed it. That is just plain unchangeable history.

Another instance of unchangeable history in the civil rights battle is the fact that the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-AZ, widely known as one of the fathers of modern conservatism, co-founded the Arizona chapter of the NAACP. Did he vote against the 1964 Civil Rights bill after having voted in favor of others prior to it? Yes, because he didn't like all the pork the Democrats had inserted into it.

All I can say is, Democrats have got a hell of a nerve claiming they are the inclusive and colorblind ones when it is Democrats who push this Affirmative Action, which is nothing but the most divisive piece of government-sponsored segregation sh!t ever.

Umm, because they did. The bill Johnson signed was a bill authored by Eisenhower in the 50's. Democrats fought it tooth and nail and when it passed under Johnson, more Republicans than Democrats voted for it.
