Liberal Thinking

[layoutshooter]

Out of the mouth of one of the GREAT liberals. Lyndon Baines Johnson. Funny how history gets re-written. The "Great Society". What a hoax. LBJ was a total racist as was FDR. Now, for the record, which party was it that pushed for civil rights reforms? (HINT: it was not the democrats)

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again."

Lyndon Baines Johnson.

You're just finding out that LBJ was a racist? That has been common knowledge for decades, along with the fact that he [and quite a few other admired men] was also an adulterer.
It was a different culture, and people felt able to hold and speak beliefs that are pretty offensive today.
Democrat/Republican had [and has] absolutely zero to do with it.

Oh yeah: nobody cares what the Republicans did 40 years ago - it's what they're doing now that matters, and it's not good, IMO.

Democrats are still the party of racism and slavery. Dependence on government is one of the worst forms of slavery in the United States. Forced dependence, is even worse. That is now what we have. ALL thanks to the ever racist, ever controlling, Democrats. They have not changed. The Republicans have, they have now, in many ways, joined in on the fun. They are just about as much into control of the people as the Democrats are.

NEITHER bunch is worth a pile of dead snake skin.

I don't know about ALL republicans, but my congressman is voting how the people in his district WANT him to vote. He was SENT there to oppose Obama Care and other government excesses. Is that not what a congressman is susposed to do? Vote as his constituants want? Is that bad if he/she/it does that?
