:lol: So you're telling me that, for example, George Wallace was a wild-eyed hippie liberal? He's a lib, not a Southern Conservative, making sure that Black Americans can't go to the University of Alabama?



A DEMOCRAT
:lol: So you're going to play the Stupid, idiotic, moronic Rush Limbaugh game when you pretend that the word "Democrat" is the same thing as the word "liberal".

Neat. George Wallace was the very definition American Conservative, 6ft at the time of that video.

But you know this, and you don't like hearing about all the damage that this worldview has done in America. So you pretend like it wasn't conservatives who told black kids they couldn't go to school. Or told women they can't vote, or get a bank loan, or attend West Point.

That's the legacy of the American Conservative, six. Own it. And make it better! It's not like American libs are perfect.....
Contemporaneously republican conservatives passed the civil rights act.

Some did, yes! Not all. Some voted no, as you obviously know. Same goes for Dems. The 1964 vote wasn't along party lines, as you know.

But that doesn't mean that they didn't install segregation and the like in the first place, Six.

How did Robert Byrd vote on the civil rights act? Wasn't he a part of the filibuster to kill it? Wasn't Robert Byrd a much beloved racist SOB that democrats on this forum just adore to no end? Some racist SOB piles of excrement can be forgiven by the FLP hypocrites on this forum, as long as they play the right tune. What was that beloved phrase Sen Byrd used... white n****r. You can take the klansman out of the klan but you can never take the klan out of the klansman. :roll:

Meanwhile, people are still crossing the border. But you think it's fixed, because you believe (snicker) what Donald Trump tells you.
I don't think it is fixed, and don't believe Biden-Harris will do anything towards fixing it, and will do things to make it worse.
Here's a thought: instead of complaining about what a competing candidate might do, hold the person you actually voted for accountable to get things done.

You understand this is why our nation hasn't solved a single major problem in America for over 40 years, right?
That is pretty funny "a fan".
It doesn't make good sense.
Great. So keep on doing what you're doing. It's working out great, right?
With respect to illegal immigration, it hasn't been working great but it has shown some improvement. Biden-Harris would not improve things at all.

Nice trend line over the past 20 years.

Civil Rights Act of 1964. Votes by Region:

The House of Representatives:[26]

Southern Democrats: 8–87 (7–93%) (four Representatives from Texas, two from Tennessee, Claude Pepper of Florida and Charles L. Weltner of Georgia voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)


The Senate:[26]

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)





Parties weren't the national behemoths they are today and were divided on different issues back then. They varied a lot more by states and regions back then, which you can see in the vote breakdown above. Lobbying to pass the act was done by mostly liberal and labor groups. After the act was passed, tons of conservative southerners switched from Democrat to Republican because the Civil Rights Act was pushed by Democratic leadership.

tech37 wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2020 12:48 pmWell that got fixed real well :roll: Now, no one can go to college without being inundated by leftist ideals and concepts, not only enforced by liberal students but admin and faculty as well. And god forbid anyone who dares speak against it... are crushed. When did American Universities stop being sanctuaries of free-thinking and diverse ideas?
:lol: More FoxNation hogwash.

If this has been happening at America's elite Universities for three generations, as you and 6 apparently think...and all our leaders and top earners have been brainwashed into being hardcore lefties....how the F is our country several steps to the right of every single other 1st world nation on Earth?

Take your time, and give me an answer. You won't, because you know this is an utterly ridiculous charge. If we've been educated by hardcore lefties for the last 50 years, explain how:

-we still have a massive military industrial complex, with bases all over the world, and we've been at war without a break since WWII
-we don't have government provided health care, unlike EVERY OTHER 1st WORLD NATION :lol:
-we don't have government provided higher learning, unlike EVERY OTHER 1st WORLD NATION
-and why, with all these lefties running things, we've allowed the gap between rich and poor to explode
-and why, with all these lefties running things, upward mobility has fallen apart in America, compared with other 1st world nation

And that's just for starters, Tech. What you are positing is utter nonsense. Utter, complete nonsense.
Do you deny the left has controlled all our institutions since the great society?
So after listing all the above things----you STILL Think American has been a lefty paradise for the last 50 years, eh?


Post Great Society? Oh yeah, Nixon was hardcore left. Followed by even more hardcore lefty Ford.

And then, I will grant you that a a Hollywoood Union man in Ronald Reagan arrived. I take it you think he's hard left?

Then there's Bush who arrived, and gave us his hard left policy of starting a war in Iraq and Kuwait.

Boy. When will the hardcore lefties who led all our institutions end, Six?

Then there's Clinton, who signed NAFTA, plunging the last dagger into the corpse of American labor unions. Wow, what a lefty.

Followed by hardcore lefty Bush, who started yet another war----because that's what hippies do, of course. Lefty hippies LOVE fighting pointless wars when America isn't attacked.

You're 100% entitled to your views, Six....but by any measure, the American Right and the American Center have been running things for 50 years. Without any question whatsoever.
OMG, you really are blind. And once again you famously create a straw man. Who said anything about the last fifty years? Do you realize you simply make this stuff up? Do you even realize that you raised the example of universities in the first place? :roll:

I don't have all day to post stuff for you but perhaps these articles may help:

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj ... -campuses/ This one is for counselor seacoaster...things have become so f'ed up by the woke mob, that neither conservative nor liberal people can share their ideas on some campuses.

https://www.businessinsider.com/list-of ... ges-2016-7

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/201 ... ree-speech “I don’t think these free speech bills solve anything by themselves, but they are a symptom that many people feel that something is very wrong,” Hess said.

https://www.realcleareducation.com/arti ... 10379.html

https://indefenseofliberty.blog/2019/07 ... on-campus/

https://www.aei.org/articles/free-speec ... classroom/ "A 2019 report by the Knight Foundation on the state of collegiate student expression made the troubling conclusion that “students largely agree that the political and social climate on college campuses prevents some students from saying what they really believe because they’re afraid of offending their classmates.” The data revealed that 68% felt silenced because “their campus climate precludes students from expressing their true opinions because their classmates might find them offensive.”

I could go on...

Prelude to the coming chit storm. There are some states that have voting by mail down. The rest of the states??? There is less than 3 months to figure this out. I live in NYS and they can't figure out when and how to open up freaking bowling alleys. That does not give me much confidence they will figure out voting by mail. Maybe I am just too cynical to have much faith in the system anymore.

Is there anybody out there that really thinks this election will be smooth sailing?
It actually can be extremely simple. So long as the people in charge aren't intentionally trying to rat-fork their way to partisan victory (cough GOP cough cough). CO got their system up and running in less than one year. With a GOP secy of state in charge. It just isn't that hard guys.

1. Approve, install and actively promote drop boxes. 75% of folks here in CO vote that way. Ballot arrives via mail, but goes back via a drop box open 24/7. You have mail-out ballots but not much mail-in voting.

2. Start counting the ballots as they arrive. No need to wait until Election Day to do that.

Problem literally solved.

It is so simple and effective that the GOP will never allow it...

Is there anybody out there that really thinks this election will be smooth sailing? This may make the "hanging chads" controversy of Bush/Gore look like childs play. I hope this gets all sorted out. Come election night 2020, we need to know who the next POTUS will be.
You see sorting machines are being taken off line. This is how you knee cap democracy.
Prelude to the coming chit storm. There are some states that have voting by mail down. The rest of the states??? There is less than 3 months to figure this out. I live in NYS and they can't figure out when and how to open up freaking bowling alleys. That does not give me much confidence they will figure out voting by mail. Maybe I am just too cynical to have much faith in the system anymore.
