That sounds fact and logic free enough to represent what passes for thought in your little noggin.
For those, not you, who wish to learn something about Lyndon Johnson, googling “Lyndon Johnson protege FDR” yields 450,000 hits including a selection from Robert Caro’s LBJ biography “Master of the Senate”
I can understand why you never learned that Lyndon Johnson was an FDR liberal- that information was cruelly hidden from you inside of books.
If we could just get that into some really cool cartoons a whole new generation of Texas Eagles could learn what you missed.
I appreciate the sentiment. However, I feel compelled (excuse me while I spit out a little tobacky juice), to point out that you are the one that said yesterday's DemocRATS were the equivalent of today's Conservatives especially in the southern states like Texas which shoulda (excuse my dialect) SHOULD HAVE meant Johnson was a big Conservative, but, instead, he was perhaps the biggest Liberal (I'm putting two and two together here based on your assertion that he was an FDR protege [whatever that word means]) *patooie* (sorry for spittin' without warnin' ya), and yet those same Republicans of yesteryear who are today's DemocRATS are to blame for helping Johnson pass the biggest government expansion since The New Deal.
So, in short, today's Republicans shouldn't take any credit (or blame, depending on your point of view) for passing Civil Rights legislation because today's mean ol' hateful Republicans are yesterday's mean ol' hateful DemocRATS but today's good ol' boy Republicans SHOULD take the blame (or credit, depending on your point of view) for helping pass cartoonish Great Society programs because they are yesterday's good ol' boy DemocRATS.
Or something like that.
Just to shuck it down to the cob as we say down here in The South (actually, I'm from The West - California to be specific - but I'm just pretendin' to be from The South for the sake of this argument), Republicans, bad. DemocRATS good.
