If blacks were given the right to vote, that would "place every splay-footed, bandy-shanked, hump-backed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed, ebon-colored Negro in the country upon an equality with the poor white man."

--Rep. Andrew Johnson, (D., Tenn.), 1844
President, 1865-69


Blacks are "a subordinate and inferior class of beings who had been subjugated by the dominant race."

--Chief Justice Roger Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1856
Appointed Attorney General by Andrew Jackson in 1831
Appointed Secretary of the Treasury by Andrew Jackson in 1833
Appointed to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson in 1836



"We favor the continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law, and its application to the same classes of all Asiatic races."


--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1900



President Truman's civil rights program "is a farce and a sham--an effort to set up a police state in the guise of liberty. I am opposed to that program. I have voted against the so-called poll tax repeal bill. . .. I have voted against the so-called anti-lynching bill."


--Rep. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1948
U.S. Senator, 1949-61
Senate Majority Leader, 1955-61
President, 1963-69


"I'm not going to use the federal government's authority deliberately to circumvent the natural inclination of people to live in ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods. . . . I have nothing against a community that's made up of people who are Polish or Czechoslovakian or French-Canadian or blacks who are trying to maintain the ethnic purity of their neighborhoods."

--Jimmy Carter, 1976
President, 1977-81
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 2002



"I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation."

--Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), 2004
Chairman, Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
Candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, 2008


Democrats to not respect minorities. They see them as pets, farm animals, and perennial children. When a woman or minority dares wander from the Demo-plantation, Palin, Thomas, Steele, etc., they are personally attacked as "stupid." Anyone who would be female, black, or any other minority or formerly downtrodden group who does not lock-step to the DemDrum is a total idiot -- and it's best to call their kids "retards." That's very cool.
 
Riiiight. Because all Republicans from the 19th century were paragons of racial harmony and tolerance. :rolleyes:
 
Pointing out your partisan bullshit is hardly ignorance, is it?

So.....

your answer is "no."

You don't have any examples; you are just bowing hot air.

Have you ever let "facts" help you formulate an opinion?

I'm sure you know nothing of American political history, but you are skilled at hiding that from noobies through endless personal attack.

You have anything that isn't off-topic bullshit?

If so, let's see it.

So tell us, Mr. Kraft, how the Republicans have been leaders at the forefront of racial equality and stuff.

And don't forget to remind us how a Republican president freed the slaves!
 
Yet another "conservative" who has forgotten all about the ideological realignment of the parties that took place when the Dixiecrats (that would be the party of Robert Byrd) deserted by and large to the Republican party.

Like those who still claim the Republicans as "The Party of Lincoln", technically true, but Lincoln wouldn't recognize the GOP today, let alone be a member.

I'm pretty sure I know more about American political history than you do about British.

As for off topic, LMAO, that's the best you have?

George Corley Wallace Jr. (August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998) was a Governor of Alabama for four terms; 1963–1967, 1971–1979 and 1983–1987. "The most influential loser" in 20th-century U.S. politics according to biographers Dan T. Carter[1] and Stephan Lesher,[2] he ran for President four times, running officially as a Democrat three times and in the American Independent Party once. He is best known for his Southern populist[3] pro-segregation attitudes during the American desegregation period, convictions he abandoned later in life.
 
Abraham Lincoln's First Debate with Stephen A. Douglas

Political parties change. People in them change. This is what Abraham Lincoln said during his first debate with Steven A. Douglas in August 21, 1858:

-------

[A]nything that argues me into his idea of perfect social and political equality with the negro, is but a specious and fantastic arrangement of words, by which a man can prove a horse chestnut to be a chestnut horse. [Laughter.] I will say here, while upon this subject, that I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so. I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which in my judgment will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior position...

When I made my speech at Springfield, of which the Judge complains, and from which he quotes, I really was not thinking of the things which he ascribes to me at all... I had no thought in the world that I was doing anything to bring about a political and social equality of the black and white races.

Ah. Perfect.

See here, everyone? What we have is an idiot who cannot argue a political point without resorting to personal attacks. The whole "Karen's a guy" thing is the only way RobSuckCock can compete intellectually. Let's all smile while it pretends it never saw the videos I posted. Or my pictures... or the poems and stories I read.

No, it lacks the smarts to refute an argument so it resorts to stupid personal attacks. That is exactly how the Democrats view life: either you agree 100% or you must be attacked. It used to be "Karen is anorexic" but that was more popular with the fat-ass hags here. The faggots, as you can see, enjoy the Karen's a guy bullshit.

That said, I won't bother with anything else in its post. Whatever it said, I'm sure is either bullshit or some cut and paste from a real person.

Abraham Lincoln's Second Debate with Stephen A. Douglas

I will take up the Judge's interrogatories as I find them printed in the Chicago Times, and answer them seriatim. In order that there may be no mistake about it, I have copied the interrogatories in writing, and also my answers to them. The first one of these interrogatories is in these words:

Question 1. ``I desire to know whether Lincoln to-day stands, as he did in 1854, in favor of the unconditional repeal of the fugitive slave law?''

Answer. I do not now, nor ever did, stand in favor of the unconditional repeal of the fugitive slave law. [Cries of ``Good,'' ``Good.'']

Q. 2. ``I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to-day, as he did in 1854, against the admission of any more slave States into the Union, even if the people want them?''

A. I do not now, nor ever did, stand pledged against the admission of any more slave States into the Union.

Q. 3. ``I want to know whether he stands pledged against the admission of a new State into the Union with such a Constitution as the people of that State may see fit to make.''

A. I do not stand pledged against the admission of a new State into the Union, with such a Constitution as the people of that State may see fit to make. [Cries of ``good,'' ``good.'']

Q. 4. ``I want to know whether he stands to-day pledged to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?''

A. I do not stand to-day pledged to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia.

Q. 5. ``I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to the prohibition of the slave trade between the different States?''

A. I do not stand pledged to the prohibition of the slave trade between the different States.

Uh oh ---

Pussy boy can dish it out but gets all poutie when someone doesn't show respect for her.

What a fucking loser you are.

TRUTH: did you or did you not see my two videos -- about Fried Chicken and Watermelon, gay marriage, Miss California, Swine Flu, etc.?

... or do you like to pretend you didn't so you can continue that bullshit.

Personal attack is all you got.

And that way, nobody has to read your politically naive bullshit -- once you start in attacking people for their sex, body style, etc., right away we know you are an asshole. Not a real person. You have nothing to offer but high-fives for the one who can fart best. Go away. Real people trying to post here.

Mr. Kraft, you seem upset tonight. Everything okay at home?
 
Tell us how the Democrats passed the Civil Rights act, better yet tell us about some of your great Democrats in Georgia, like J.B. Stoner and Lester Maddox.:rolleyes:

Another "conservative" who conveniently forgets the ideological realignment of the political parties when the nearly all of the Dixiecrats (those would be the former cohorts of Robert Byrd) left the Democratic party (circa 1948, until then White southerners were overwhelmingly Democrats) and took their hatred of equal rights for women and minorities (later in the 60's) to the Republican party where they have resided since.

That's very funny, fuck-boy.

Are you always so snarkish when you lose an argument?

Hahahahahahahaha.

You will always be minor league.

Live with it.

But hey! Faggot: you didn't answer the question: did you see my videos or not?

Answer now.

Good dog.
