Did the dems not attempt to fillibuster the Civil Rights Act?

no they did not as an entire group(a few did and some GOP voted against it too) but in hindsight who was right?

My view is that enforcing the 15th amendment would have been enough. The 1964 act opened a can of worms that one day will probably destroy us.

I like the Protest Warriors and have worked with them in Nashville but are they aware of the contradiction in that sign?

They tout the CRA 0f 1964 and then turn around and blame liberal Dem policies that stem directly from that same act they tout just one line above.

Without the 1964 CRA, you could scratch all that Great Society junk which btw came from the same source LBJ after JFK died.

Boy...what ajob the left has done on us academically. It never ceases to amze me how even fine well intenioned folks have been affected.

Trial lawyers should get up every morning and thank God for the bill.

LOL...it is a direct line from that to the liberalism we have today...no doubt.

The truth hurts but the stats don’t lie.

Yeah, I think it would have been a lot better to consider which party “Bull” Connor was a member of and what the intent of the Klan was when it was founded.

There’s a reason why I post here and not at PW’s message board. :)

The party you adhere to doesn’t exist in a Democrat fashion. What? Think Baracko, the family fun game that involves damning the Country? IBTZ

Noblejones is right: It looks like this FReeper’s account was hacked into. He or she hasn’t posted a comment in more than a year.

If you lost money in the Savings and Loan debacle during the eighties - thank the 'rats - they're the ones who introduced the "tax the rich" adjustment to the IRS code which took away the passive real estate credit and deflated the banks' assets by fifty percent, driving many out of business....

If you've ever watched a perfectly competent, capable, and experienced white person passed over for a well-deserved promotion which went instead to a perfeclty nice but inexperienced and incapable black - thank the 'rats - they're the ones who for forty years turned an effort to provide equal opportunity to minorities into a zealous Quixotic quest for equal outcomes and statistical parity on some phantom quota board...

If the value of your house has fallen by half in the past three years - thank the 'rats - they're the ones who were screaming so much about "red-lining" and "discrimination in lending" a few years back that otherwise prudent lenders took to giving loans to those so poor that there was no chance they'd ever be able to repay, thus glutting the market with thousands of houses now standing empty.....

If you like paying $4 per gallon for gasoline now and probably $6 per gallon for heating oil this winter - thank the 'rats - they're the ones who in the name of saving the critters and fighting the global warming hoax have opposed domestic oil drilling for thirty years to the point that now, while we still won't drill in our own plentious reserves, we think we can beg or sue others into providing us with more fuel......and on and on and on......

If you never experienced racial segregation, thank a Democrat: Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, which outlawed racial segregation in public schools and public places.

Thank you Senator Robert Byrd (D-KKK), official Klansman and recruiter for the KKK. And in line for ascendency to the President. Those Democrats really know how to snuff out racism in this country, right???

The Civil Rights Bill was passed by a bipartisan majority that had to overcome opposition from mostly southern DEMOCRATS. One of those Democrats, Robert Byrd, is still serving in the Senate. He personally filibustered the Civil Rights Bill for over 14 hours straight as part of 57 day effort. Ironically enough Senator Byrd can serve in the Senate despite having been associated with a social organization that would make him ineligible for military service, the KKK.

On the whole Republicans voted for the act in greater percentages in both congressional bodies than their Democratic counterparts.

If you earn a fair wage, get paid overtime and/or was never subjected to child labor, thank a Democrat: Franklin Roosevelt and the Democratic Congress passed the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which set the first national minimum wage, created requirements for overtime compensation and outlawed child labor.

Is a fair wage one that is below minimum wage? If so, then illegal immigrants are paid a "fair wage" and their continued employment goes largely to Democrats. Which party overwhelmingly runs the major metropolitan areas of this country? Which party regularly supports "safe harbor" of illegal immigrants?

They say we need immigrant labor that is willing to work below a fair wage because "Americans won't do the work anymore". They will if they are paid a FAIR WAGE for the task.

“Woodrow Wilson supported the 19th Amendment, which was passed and ratified during his Presidency.”

Oh, so all credit to him. Wilson was a globalist and a fascistic leader at best. He also supported the income tax and the federal reserve which were passed under his administration. He was also a douche.
