Why Conservative Is Simply Better....

[Billy_Kinetta]

Yes they did. Most landed individuals in that time did.

They also saw the writing on the wall.

They did not see the writing on the wall.

Nope. They are the same racist losers who now vote to replace the slavery of black-to-white with the slavery of all to the State. That the Communists pouring into the Democratic Party in the mid 1960s convinced the Democrats that the black community could be made into a comfortable voting bloc with a few well placed checks did not change the Democrats' stripes, it merely painted them over red.

Just look at your cities. Same-same.

If that is a correct picture of Democrats then this is a correct picture of Republicans.

"The North has the right to confiscate the land of the Southern rebels.
The cause of the war was slavery. We have freed the slaves. It is our
responsibility to protect them, and help them until they are able to
provide for themselves. Freed slaves should have the right to vote,
but owning land is even more important.
I propose that each freed slave who is a male adult, or the head of a
family, will receive forty acres of land, (with $100 to build a house).
Four million people have just been freed from slavery. They have no
education, have never worked for money, and don’t know about their
rights. Unless they become independent, they will have to once
again become the servants of their old masters.
We must make the freed slaves independent so that their old masters
can’t force them to work unfairly. This can only be done by giving
them a small plot of land to farm."

1867 by Thaddeus Stevens

Let's start by giving every adult male black in America 40 acres of land....

Sure. Any freed slave who comes forward deserves it.

So you support reparations to all black families who originally lived under slavery?

No more than I would return land to all the Indian tribes. I support reparations to former slaves only.

So you do not support the Republican platform of the 1860's is that correct?

(Billy checks the calendar just to make sure he's currently in 2015. )

Nope. Old news.

Once you control for region, it turns out that Democrats were actually more likely to support the 1964 Civil Rights Act



...Nearly 100% of Union state Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 85% of Republicans. None of the southern Republicans voted for the bill, while a small percentage of southern Democrats did.


The same pattern holds true when looking at ideology instead of party affiliation. The folks over at Voteview.com, who created DW-nominate scores to measure the ideology of congressmen and senators, found that the more liberal a congressman or senator was the more likely he would vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, once one controlled for a factor closely linked to geography.

Now, it wasn't that the Civil Rights Act was what turned the South against the Democrats or minorities against Republicans. Those patterns, as Trende showed, had been developing for a while. It was, however, a manifestation of these growing coalitions. The South gradually became home to the conservative party, while the north became home to the liberal party.

Today, the transformation is nearly complete. President Obama carried only 18% of former Confederate states, while taking 62% of non-Confederate states in 2012. Only 27% of southern senators are Democrats, while 62% of Union state senators are Democrats. And 29% of southern members in the House are Democrats compared to 54% in states or territories that were part of the Union



Thus, it seems to me that minorities have a pretty good idea of what they are doing when joining the Democratic party. They recognize that the Democratic party of today looks and sounds a lot more like the Democratic party of the North that with near unity passed the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 than the southern Democrats of the era who blocked it, and today would, like Strom Thurmond, likely be Republicans.


Were Republicans really the party of civil rights in the 1960s? | Harry J Enten

Wrong again,piggy.

1. Language is important, so in any discussion of who the segregationists were, liberals switch the word “Democrats” to “southerners.” Remember, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was supported by all the Republicans in the Senate, but only 29 of 47 Democrats…and a number of the ‘segregationist’ Democrats were northern Dems (Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming). Not southerners: Democrats.
   1. There were plenty of southern integrationists. They were Republicans. See chapter 12, "Mugged," by Coulter

Every southern Republican voted against the 1964 Civil Rights act.

Southern Democrats were CONSERVATIVES. They called themselves CONSERVATIVES. They believed the same things that modern Republican conservatives in the South believe.

"Michael Zak, author of “Back to Basics for the Republican Party,” which chronicles the party’s civil rights heritage, believes Goldwater was a significant factor, by forgetting that the 1964 bill virtually mirrored Republican-backed legislation from 1875.

“Democrat pundits pretend that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was the creation of the Kennedy or Johnson administrations, but in fact it was an extension of the Republican Party’s 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts,” Zak told TheBlaze. “Barry Goldwater, the GOP’s presidential nominee that year, did not appreciate the fact that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was thoroughly Republican policy.”
Who’s Really Responsible for the Civil Rights Act?

So tell us PC, who were the Civil Rights Leaders of that Act? Who are the Republican legislators that are revered by Blacks in America?

On Racism and Republicans: The History of Republican Evil

What your one sided blogger forgot to mention...

Why Do Blacks Vote for Democrats? MLK, JFK, and LBJ

Presidential Vote and Party Identification of African Americans, 1956-1964

As you can see, over the course of just eight years, African American support for the Republican Party practically evaporated.

How did this happen? It can be tied directly to the acts and leadership of three men: Martin Luther King, Jr., who was the leader of the Civil Rights movement; John F. Kennedy, the nation’s president from 1961 through November, 1963, when he was assassinated; and Lyndon Baines Johnson, Kennedy’s successor as president.

Most know who Martin Luther King, Jr, was, and probably President Kennedy as well; President Johnson, although pivotal in the passage of civil rights laws, is undoubtedly the lesser known and least revered among these three historical figures.

But they were all key players in eliminating segregation and legalized discrimination in the South.

How these three men were linked in changing the face of African American politics:

In October of 1960, less then three weeks before the presidential election, Martin Luther King Jr., already recognized as Black America’s most prominent civil rights leader, had been arrested in Georgia on a traffic technicality: he was still using his Alabama license, although by then he had lived in Georgia for three months.

A swift series of moves by the state’s segregationist power structure resulted in King being sentenced to four months of hard labor on a Georgia chain gang. He was quickly spirited away to the state’s maximum security prison, and many of his supporters, fearing for his life, urgently called both the Nixon and Kennedy camps for help.

Nixon, about to campaign in South Carolina in hopes of capturing the state’s normally solid Democratic vote, took no action. Kennedy took swift action. He made a brief telephone call to a frantic Coretta Scott King, speaking in soothing generalities and telling her, “If there’'s anything I can do to help, please feel free to call on me.”

It’s likely that Kennedy did not at that moment realize the political implications of that call. Ever the pragmatist, he had resisted the pleas of several aides throughout the campaign that he take bolder public stands on civil rights issues. The telephone call came because one aide caught him late at night after a hard day of campaigning and staff meetings as he was about to turn in. The aide, Harris Wofford, pitched it as just a call to calm King’s fearful spouse. Kennedy replied, “What the hell. That’'s a decent thing to do. Why not? Get her on the phone.”

King was soon released, unharmed, due to a groundswell of pressure directed by blacks and whites in numerous quarters toward Georgia officials (Robert F. Kennedy himself, who was managing his brother’s campaign called the judge who sentenced King to prison). At the time, the white media paid little attention to the call, which suited the Kennedys fine. But it likely transformed the black vote. King’s father, Martin Luther King Sr., a dominating, fire-and-brimstone preacher with wide influence throughout Black America, had, like many black Southerners, always been a Republican and until that moment had said he couldn'’t vote for Kennedy because he was a Catholic.

(But) the day his son was released from prison, the elder King thundered from the pulpit of his famed Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta: “I had expected to vote against Senator Kennedy because of his religion. But now he can be my president, Catholic or whatever he is… He has the moral courage to stand up for what he knows is right. I’'ve got all my votes and I’'ve got a suitcase, and I’'m going to take them up there and dump them in his lap.”

Why Do Blacks Vote for Democrats? MLK, JFK, and LBJ

 

[NYcarbineer]

So tell us PC, who were the Civil Rights Leaders of that Act? Who are the Republican legislators that are revered by Blacks in America?

Whether they revere him or not, without the Republican Everett Dirkson, it likely would NOT have passed.

Then Everett Dirksen should be on the mantel of every black home in the south. Why isn't he?

Because the media of the time gave all the credit to that polecat Johnson, and the Democrats have controlled the public education system for over half a century.

History simply is not taught. Multiculturalism and diversity studies have supplanted it.

Johnson was president you moron.

And a polecat.

He was also the most influential Senator to ever be president.

Not necessarily a good thing.

A polecat because he signed civil rights legislation. Yes we get your position.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

You're wasting my time trying to change the subject to Liberalism.The Op has made the assertion that Conservatism is better for the individual and for society, the problem of course is that the Republican Party does not meet the standards of Conservatism. Do you have any idea when they will meet that standard?

The nation was designed to espouse classical liberal views, based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

In reality, there are only two choices, Republican or Democrat.

Neither is perfect....but....

Which is closer to the classical liberal view?

Conservatives seem to espouse non-classical liberal views, based on corporatism, fixed or crony markets, and unlimited government protections for their supporters (trillion dollar bailout anyone?).

Progressives seem to espouse non-classical liberal views based upon megalithic government; the Marxist philosophy "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs"; incremental destruction of the Constitution and the rights and limitations enumerated by it; totalitarian control of education, speech and thought within the public school and university systems; erasure of foundational and general religious thought and practice from the public square; destruction of patriotic traditions and institutions; continued use of racism and "class warfare" to divide the country, and numerous and sundry other mischief designed to "fundamentally change the United States of America."

Next.

Progressives are not liberal.

They are fascists who want to use government to force people to do things their way.

The far right is the same way, only they lie about it better.

Yes I want the government to force people to drive slow in school zones. If that is fascism, then fascism it is.

Right...and I posted I didn't.

You guys are hillaryous.

The Democrats were always segregationists.

Always.

1. 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenation law.” Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. Now let's take a look at the most popular Democrat today, ...

a. Governor Bill Clinton was among three state officials the NAACP sued in 1989 under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.“Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates and other official acts that made voting harder for blacks,” the Arkansas Gazette reported December 6, 1989.


b. Bill Clinton hada Confederate flag-like issue, every year he was governor:Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:

(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as ‘Confederate Flag Day’ in this state.

(b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]

(c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).

Bill Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as governor to repeal this law.

Once you control for region, it turns out that Democrats were actually more likely to support the 1964 Civil Rights Act



...Nearly 100% of Union state Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 85% of Republicans. None of the southern Republicans voted for the bill, while a small percentage of southern Democrats did.


The same pattern holds true when looking at ideology instead of party affiliation. The folks over at Voteview.com, who created DW-nominate scores to measure the ideology of congressmen and senators, found that the more liberal a congressman or senator was the more likely he would vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, once one controlled for a factor closely linked to geography.

Now, it wasn't that the Civil Rights Act was what turned the South against the Democrats or minorities against Republicans. Those patterns, as Trende showed, had been developing for a while. It was, however, a manifestation of these growing coalitions. The South gradually became home to the conservative party, while the north became home to the liberal party.

Today, the transformation is nearly complete. President Obama carried only 18% of former Confederate states, while taking 62% of non-Confederate states in 2012. Only 27% of southern senators are Democrats, while 62% of Union state senators are Democrats. And 29% of southern members in the House are Democrats compared to 54% in states or territories that were part of the Union



Thus, it seems to me that minorities have a pretty good idea of what they are doing when joining the Democratic party. They recognize that the Democratic party of today looks and sounds a lot more like the Democratic party of the North that with near unity passed the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 than the southern Democrats of the era who blocked it, and today would, like Strom Thurmond, likely be Republicans.

You were going to name the modern day Democratic segregationists. What happened? Couldn't you find any?

Bill Clinton has always been a racist, segregationist....

Let's take a look at that career.....


1. Let's start with this: they were called 'Dixiecrats,' not 'Dixiecans. a. Dixiecrats lost in 1948 ...then went right back to being Democrats.

2. Now let's take a look at the most popular Democrat today, ...

a. Governor Bill Clinton was among three state officials the NAACP sued in 1989 under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.“Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates and other official acts that made voting harder for blacks,” the Arkansas Gazette reported December 6, 1989.


b. Bill Clinton hada Confederate flag-like issue, every year he was governor:Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:

(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as ‘Confederate Flag Day’ in this state.

(b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]

(c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).

Bill Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as governor to repeal this law.

Only a fool who means to defend the segregationist Democrats would bring up the KKK....an arm of the Democrat Party, and as a KKKer was the choice of Franklin Roosevelt for the Supreme Court.

But...as you are one, I can see how you'd slip on that banana peel.

So tell us PC, who were the Civil Rights Leaders of that Act? Who are the Republican legislators that are revered by Blacks in America?

Whether they revere him or not, without the Republican Everett Dirkson, it likely would NOT have passed.

YOU MEANT WITHOUT LBJ, IT WOULDN'T HAD PASSED RIGHT???

I see, so laying the history of Democrats on modern Democrats is okay, but the history of Republicans is old news.

Try this. Dispute it point for point, and amaze us all.

On Racism and Republicans: The History of Republican Evil

What your one sided blogger forgot to mention...

Why Do Blacks Vote for Democrats? MLK, JFK, and LBJ

Presidential Vote and Party Identification of African Americans, 1956-1964

As you can see, over the course of just eight years, African American support for the Republican Party practically evaporated.

How did this happen? It can be tied directly to the acts and leadership of three men: Martin Luther King, Jr., who was the leader of the Civil Rights movement; John F. Kennedy, the nation’s president from 1961 through November, 1963, when he was assassinated; and Lyndon Baines Johnson, Kennedy’s successor as president.

Most know who Martin Luther King, Jr, was, and probably President Kennedy as well; President Johnson, although pivotal in the passage of civil rights laws, is undoubtedly the lesser known and least revered among these three historical figures.

But they were all key players in eliminating segregation and legalized discrimination in the South.

How these three men were linked in changing the face of African American politics:

In October of 1960, less then three weeks before the presidential election, Martin Luther King Jr., already recognized as Black America’s most prominent civil rights leader, had been arrested in Georgia on a traffic technicality: he was still using his Alabama license, although by then he had lived in Georgia for three months.

A swift series of moves by the state’s segregationist power structure resulted in King being sentenced to four months of hard labor on a Georgia chain gang. He was quickly spirited away to the state’s maximum security prison, and many of his supporters, fearing for his life, urgently called both the Nixon and Kennedy camps for help.

Nixon, about to campaign in South Carolina in hopes of capturing the state’s normally solid Democratic vote, took no action. Kennedy took swift action. He made a brief telephone call to a frantic Coretta Scott King, speaking in soothing generalities and telling her, “If there’'s anything I can do to help, please feel free to call on me.”

It’s likely that Kennedy did not at that moment realize the political implications of that call. Ever the pragmatist, he had resisted the pleas of several aides throughout the campaign that he take bolder public stands on civil rights issues. The telephone call came because one aide caught him late at night after a hard day of campaigning and staff meetings as he was about to turn in. The aide, Harris Wofford, pitched it as just a call to calm King’s fearful spouse. Kennedy replied, “What the hell. That’'s a decent thing to do. Why not? Get her on the phone.”

King was soon released, unharmed, due to a groundswell of pressure directed by blacks and whites in numerous quarters toward Georgia officials (Robert F. Kennedy himself, who was managing his brother’s campaign called the judge who sentenced King to prison). At the time, the white media paid little attention to the call, which suited the Kennedys fine. But it likely transformed the black vote. King’s father, Martin Luther King Sr., a dominating, fire-and-brimstone preacher with wide influence throughout Black America, had, like many black Southerners, always been a Republican and until that moment had said he couldn'’t vote for Kennedy because he was a Catholic.

(But) the day his son was released from prison, the elder King thundered from the pulpit of his famed Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta: “I had expected to vote against Senator Kennedy because of his religion. But now he can be my president, Catholic or whatever he is… He has the moral courage to stand up for what he knows is right. I’'ve got all my votes and I’'ve got a suitcase, and I’'m going to take them up there and dump them in his lap.”

Why Do Blacks Vote for Democrats? MLK, JFK, and LBJ

Yep. Most interesting how the Democrats co-opted the movement even as the Democrat-dominated South still enforced poll taxes, white lunch counters and other interesting Jim Crow stuff.

Interesting indeed.

Interesting also are the modern Republican attempts to end the 14th Amendment, it is the modern Republican Party that puts obstacles between black people with voter ID laws, it is the modern Republican Party that supports police brutality over black people, it is the modern Republican Party that supports the flying of the Confederate flag, claiming it's their heritage as if owning slaves is a heritage, let's not forget Rand Paul, running as a Republican says the Civil Rights Bill should be tossed, let's not forget who fought for the establishment of America while true conservatives wore redcoats and bowed to the king.

Interesting indeed.
