Republicans are Racist – Bullcrap!!!

My favorite American hating, liberal blogger, Kos over at DailyKos is trying to draw parallels to the map of the US during the civil war period and today’s sea of red. This is such nonsense.

I’d like to point out some facts that Democrats HATE for people to know about. If you really want to do some correlation, let’s get closer to today’s reality and not compare what people thought 140 years ago to today. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was voted on in Congress. Here’s a quote from The National Center for Public Policy Research (but you can read it for yourself in the Congressional record):

In the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against).

Even more telling is that ALL (100%) of the southern Democrats voted against the Act, which was the majority of southern state representation back then.

Now, those figures, in my opinion, are an indictment of both parties and the people that represented our nation back then. For ANYONE to have voted against giving minority races equality in this country is shameful. But Democrats should SHUT THE HELL up when it comes to this race-bating crap. It just raises my blood pressure to no end. Today’s Republican administration has more minorities represented in upper manangement than did Carter and Clinton PUT TOGETHER, yet we’re the racists, trying to keep the “black man down.”

What a sad and demoralized party, the Democrats. Just sad. Talk about completely ineffectual and marginalized.

Really, it’s just sad.
