I love it when someone who was a Democrat learns what they were and are really all about. I especially love it when it happens to a black American. I believe this man said he was 35 before he learned the truth about Democrats.
Â
Revealing the Truth about the Democratic PartyÂ
Â
I have done extensive research on the subject because at one point, I was a Democrat. A few years ago, I was confronted with a fact that I knew to be false but after an investigation into the point, it turned out to be true. It was that Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Â
This of course forced me to extend my research into other areas. What else could this Political Science Major be unaware of? The Truth became stranger than fiction. The list is quite long so here we go.
Â
President Kennedy had little intention of enacting a Comprehensive Civil Rights Law during his 2 years in office. Tensions in society were running so high due to the riots and such that by the 1963 State of the Union address he had no other choice but to enact some kind of Law. Mind you, for the previous 100 years, it had only been the Republican Party who had supported any Civil Rights Legislations (I was not aware of these facts until I was 35 years old);
Â
13th Amendment:  Abolished Slavery - 100% Republican Support, 23% Democratic Support
14th Amendment:Â Â Slaves Allowed to be Citizens - 94% Republican Support, 0% Democratic Support
15th Amendment:Â Â Right to Vote for All - 100% Republican Support, 0% Democratic Support
CRA 1866:Â Enacted by the Republican Party - Equal Rights
CRA 1871:Â Enacted by the Republican Party - Anti-KKK
CRA 1875:Â 99% Republican Support, 0% Democratic Support - Anti-Discrimination
——It took another 82 years until the next Civil Rights Act———
——The Democratic Party blocked every attempt to equalize citizens of color—–
CRA 1957:Â Enacted by the Eisenhower (R) Administration, Then Senator Kennedy Voted against this Bill, Filibustered by Democrats
CRA 1960:Â Enacted by the Eisenhower (R) Administration, The final version was watered down by then Senator LBJ, Filibustered by the Democrats
CRA 1964:Â 82% Republican Support, only 63% Democratic Support
CRA 1965:Â 87% Republican Support, only 75% Democratic Support - Voting Rights
Â
I do not want the “government†to treat me any differently than any other citizen. Therefore, I consider equality of opportunity and equal voting rights to be the summation of Civil Rights in America. If anything extra is afforded me or anyone else merely due to the color of their skin, I consider that to be an entitlement and patronizing.
Â
Given my above statement, the Democratic Party, even if you sectionalize them by North and South, has never outvoted the Republican Party in any Civil Rights Law…Ever. The actual numbers play out like this:
Lifetime Republican Party support for Equal Rights for all Citizens:Â 94%
Lifetime Democratic Party Support for Equal rights for all Citizens:Â 35%
Â
Now to the point of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This was a proposal that the Republican Party, during the Eisenhower Administration attempted to put forth but alas, their efforts resulted in the first Civil Rights Law in the previous 82 years…The Civil Rights Act of 1957 formed a Commission on Civil Rights. The Plan of the Commission was to eventually enact the very Comprehensive Law of 1964. Remember, this was the Bill that Senator JFK voted against, for political aspirations I’m sure.
Â
JFK had his Justice department write the original Bill in early 1963. The first version passed the House but stalled in the Senate. Everett McKinley Dirksen (R), the minority leader in the Senate took it upon himself to REWRITE the entire Bill. It took him 1 weekend and he had 2 helpers, 1 Democrat and another Republican.
The final version of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was written by a Republican which means that since the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, every Civil Rights Law was written by a Republican with more Republican support than Democratic Party Support.

The writer, Frantz Emmanuel Kebreau, continues with some more statics about voting records, then he asks why he and most Americans don't even know the name Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels, the first black Senator. I know. Because the man was a Republican, and why would Democrats want anyone to know that.
Â
He also points out that 13 former slaves became members of Congress between 1870 and 1901. Kebreau asks why our history books are silent about this. I know. Because they were Republicans.

Â
Democrats love to tell you that the Democrats who voted against civil rights switched parties and became Republicans. This video shows that's not true. The parties never switched either. The Republicans have always cared about civil rights and have always wanted equal opportunities.
Â
As Krebeau points out, the Democrats went from being "Pro-Slavery to Pro-Segregation to Pro-Entitlement, all of which results in nothing beneficial for the prosperity of an individual and is considered by many of my ilk, Plantation Politics."

Leah, me too! It will be my favorite link for a while. :)
btw - where you been?
take a break?
Thanks for being friendly. Now I look forward to seeing you. I didn't know you were in to politics.
Marilyn, I feel the same way. Very few want truth at any cost. They are happy to pass on the instant takes of those in their party without critical thinking. Their goal is to come out on top in an argument and placate themselves on how intelligent they think appear. Not all . . . but too many.
I guess you missed this information:

At least in Presidential elections, the Solid South wasn’t so “solid” until at least the year 2000 or 36 years after the CRA of 1964.
You can keep repeating lies, but it doesn't make them true. I'm glad that he's going around the country to set people straight.
Political realignments can be sudden (1–4 years) or can take place more gradually (5–20 years). Most often, however, particularly in Key's (1955) original hypothesis, it is a single "critical election" that marks a realignment. By contrast a gradual process is called a "secular realignment." An American example was the change in the voting patterns among white Southerners, who from the 1870s to 1962 had overwhelmingly voted at the national and state levels for Democratic (what was called the "Solid South"). A critical election came in 1964 with a shift at the presidential level to the Republican (GOP) presidential candidates. However there was a gradual shift toward the GOP at the state and local levels, as Aldrich (2000) and others have found. Democratic voting remained strong into the 1970s and only slowly shifted towards the GOP as state Republican organizations systematically broadened their base in the 1980s and 1990s..
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states' rights). Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.
The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon in the late 1960s.[1] The strategy was successful in some regards. It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. As the 20th century came to a close, the Republican Party began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with little success.[1] In 2005, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the previous century.[2]
And there you go, the Republican National Committee Chairman apologized for what we all know happened, and you would like to now deny. Give me a break, Marilyn, this is as pathetic as your attempts to prove this was formed a Christian Nation.
Marilyn, I know you enjoy revisionist history, but this is ridiculous.
The end
I know that starting clear back with Pat Buchanan, a man with racial views that have long been suspect, himself, there has been this effort going on to scrub the Southern Strategy from the history of the Republican party, but just as with your zany Christian Nation theories, history, real history, rather than the made up, what Marilyn wishes to believe history, proves you wrong. Mehlman knew it, and apologized for it, and tried to move on, you would rather go with this nutcase and denial, I guess. I know no one can say anything to dissuade you, and I will not be back, you will probably close the thread on me anyway, like the last time, so be well, and get a clue, if you can.
