YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THE COMPANY THAT THEY KEEP…….
Today's N.Y. Times has a story about the white supremacist group connected to Dylann Roof and all the money the group has given to Republican candidates including Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum.
Democrats had their "come to Jesus" moment wrt racism within the party. Yes, D's were obstructionists and Luddites on slavery and civil rights for decades – Sean Hannity never fails to remind his listeners of this little fact; and he never manages to explain the evolution of the 2 parties over time to those same halfwits:
Do both sides "do it"?
Just came across the origins of our Juneteenth celebrations and what the wonderful citizens of Texas did after the Civil War:
Shocking………..not!
Mississippi, the state that gifted the nation with Haley Barbour, Trent Lott
Nice work, Zap….
I remember life in the segregated south (Georgia) all too well…
The Republican party is trying to dance on a tightrope.. I think the "Old/New " Republican ala Mike Coffman and Cory Gardner is not going to work for much longer…
Nixon and the RNC accepted the racist mantle in order to win elections, as I understand it. Johnsons’ lost southern generation may be about over.
This is about to really bite them in the ass…hard.

So true. It's like that old saying, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure." The Democrats started shit-canning the likes of J. Strom Thurmond (w/ the civil rights plank in the '48 convention platform), then Lester Maddox and George Wallace were shown the door, all of whom the GOP gladly embraced.
And it wasn't just Nixon. I remember in 1980, St. Ronnie kicked off his general election campaign in Meridian, Mississippi. Anyone else remember what Meridian, Mississippi is famous for?
And who can forget Willie Horton? And yet they wonder why the best they can do is to get 10 percent of the African-American vote……
The stopped being the party of Lincoln long ago. Lincoln believed in civil rights for all. He would have supported the ACA. He would not have tolerated the tea party wing of the party, nor would he have taken a lawsuit to the Supreme Court that would take health insurance away from 6.5 million people. He would not have kidnapped people off the street, taken to black sites to be held without due process. He also would not have had people tortured. Yes, waterboarding is torture.'This country established that long ago when we prosecuted Japanese officers for war crimes and torture because they waterboarded Americans.
Um, just a bit of a correction. It's nice to put Lincoln on a pedestal and all, but he did suspend habeas corpus – at least until the Supreme Court overruled him.
