There are many historical omissions and revisionist history told about various subjects.

For example, it was a REPUBLICAN president, Eisenhower, who sent federal troops to Arkansas to enforce a court order for school desegregation. An “evil Republican”, a member of the allegedly racist Republican party, took that action .

And to check the vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, proportionally more Republicans than Democrats voted for that legislation. Yet Democrats today call Republicans racist and worse, yet the history shows us that Republicans were key people in the coalition to pass civil rights legislation.

Also lost to history, is the key role played by REPUBLICAN Senator Everett Dirksen, in breaking the filibuster on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and helping get that bill passed into law.

It’s painful to hear these imbecile liberals, both politicians and allegedly knowledgeable “talking heads” on cable news channels, who mindless parrot back talking points that the Republicans are a racist bigoted group, etc. when the history shows that this is not the case.

History plainly shows that Republicans came into existence as the abolition party. The party dead set on freeing all slaves in this country. A fact the democrats have been trying to erase since the 19th century.
