What year did "the parties switch sides?"

[Doc1]

Progressives keep trying to escape their racist past (present and future) by making the bizarre claim that the democrat party, the party of the KKK, southern slaves, the Tuskegee Experiments, a President who wouldn't shake the hand of Jesse Owens, the planned parenthood black eugenics party, the "I'll have them ******* voting democrat for the next 2 hundit (hundred with LBJ southern accent) years" party, were actually all done by Republicans because the "parties switched sides"

When did this happen or is this just another Progressive Goebbelesque Big Lie, like Sen Joe McCarthy using his House Unamerican Activities Committee to blacklist innocent Hollywood communists.

Oh yea, it's a lie.

It's why Democrats were confederates and Nazi's before 1964 but somehow, it's Republicans who are confederates and Nazi's today.

Gee, how could that have happened?

Hey, superstar, show us which politicians switched! It isn't hard, is it! You people blow smoke up everyone's a**, and now it is time you put up, or shut up. May I suggest if you do NOT want to be embarrassed, you SHUT UP-)

Zell Miller

You're not really here, are you.

She's a twit. Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and Paul Ryan, John McCain, all traitors.

Miller didn’t switch until the 2004, and it wasn’t because of civil rights. During the Civil Rights act, the early to mid 60s, only one senator and one house member switched the rest stayed in their respective party.

Frank this type of sophistry rarely convinces anyone who does not seek verification of an already closed mind.

History tells us that the 1948 General Election began the metamorphose of both parties. The passage of the Civil Right Act of 1964 was another part of the process as was the mind set of Gov's Wallace and Maddox, and Nixon's Southern Strategy.

Democrats who voted for the Dixiecrats in '48, later left the Democratic Party and drifted into The American Independent Party, and when Wallace lost became Republicans.

thus your effort to convince the reader that every Democrat from Truman to Obama was a racist and disregard the history of the civil rights movement.

Q. How did IKE fall on this thorny issue?

A. Eisenhower and the Little Rock Crisis

You do realize that YOU are a bigot, right?

Yep. Not in the conventional sense, though. I do not tolerate liars, assholes, bullies, punks, racists, misogynists, xenophobes and homophobes. I also find Eagle and Cowboy fans obnoxious and pugnacious as well as those who can't hold their liquor.

I don't judge people by their color, religion, ethncity or appearance and don't care what people do in the privacy of their own home or in public when they harm no one but themselves.

Lastly I do not understand how anyone can continue to support Donald Trump, who has all the characteristics of those in the first paragraph I cannot tolerate.

A. Eisenhower and the Little Rock Crisis

Ike proposed a civil rights bill that Senate Majority leader LBJ killed in the Senate. It only passed once he became President and the media convinced everyone LBJ was no longer a racist but never mentioned that it was really Ikes bill that was passed

His "Great Society" destroyed the black nuclear family, replacing the Male head of household with a government check and tying the family to the democrat party as if their lives depended upon it.

He switched when? Was it when he spoke before the Democratic National Convention in 1992? Was it when he was Mondale’s campaign manager in Georgia? Is that why he listed FDR, Truman, Kennedy and LBJ as those he looked up to? Maybe that was why Carville wanted to be his campaign manager. Good grief, you going to continue to try to BS your way through this?

Probably closer to 2000-2001 is when he switched in his heart and by practice. My GP knew him. PS: Loved his speech at the GOP convention even though he was little more than a caricature for the angry white man at that point.

I'm afraid you're wrong, very wrong.

Progressives/Liberals/Leftists believe in certain socio-political maxims that include, but are not limited to, civil rights for all Americans regardless of race, gender or sexual identification. Protections for consumers and workers by having a government that acts as a Newtonian counterweight to the powers of corporations.

On the other hand, Regressives/Conservatives/Readtionaries believe in differing maxims. These include, but are not limited to, reservation of civil rights due to the social changes they may or not bring. Unfettered power of private corporations because those corporations provide jobs. This means smaller, less intrusive government, unless that government is used to forward a social agenda that includes some form of repression.

Now we have two distinct political parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. These two parties have historically have been held by either the Progressives or the Comservatives. Occasionally, the Republican Party has made progressive moves while in power. The Democrats have hosted many, particularly Southern members, who have actively opposed civil rights.

So it's a bad idea to identify one political party as either Progressive or Conservative. A,erican political parties have a nasty tendency to purge their own members who are no longer sufficiently Conservative or Liberal enough to suit the agenda of the party as they see it. Today the Republican Party is going through the second great political purge of this young century. They first purge was the Tea Party purge of 2009-2014.

Republican incumbents and stalwarts were purged for being RINOs. Today's purge has more to do with a personality cult built around Donald Trump.

In 1972, during the candidacy of Sen. George McGovern (D) South Dakota for the Presidency, the Democrats went through a similar political purge ridding the party of those Right of Center. This gave shunned pols to jump to the GOP.

Pointing at old newsreel footage of oracle riots in the south during the 1960s and saying "See! Liberals are cracking heads!" betrays an ignorance of history, sociology and American political ideology. It's easier for those of us who actually lived during that tumultuous time to understand.
