Uh, that's rich. Conservatives were crusading for civil rights before liberals found it to be fashionable.

The reason conservatives were for civil rights is people like Charlton Heston (who actually marched in civil rights marches), because of the way in which the liberal backed, Democrat supported unions blatantly discriminated against Blacks.

Conservatives like Charlton Heston wanted to work with the the best, and it didn't matter what color the best was. But color did matter to the liberal Democrat unions who refused admission to Blacks.

From 1933 to 1979 -- 46 years -- the Democrats had majorities in the House & Senate simultaneous, except for a brief 2 year period during the Eisenhower Administration.

So spare us your platitudes.

Decently...

Disparaging...

Actualy both sides do that and do it quite well.


Anti abortion

global warming

seatbelt laws
helmet laws
gun free zones

Republicans fought for civil rights. Dem lawmakers and the WH pay their women employees less than the men.

Wow, just wow.

Why do you object to people speaking thier minds in a conversation? Are you intolerant to other people's views?

Why do posters throw out an accusation, then skedaddle to the hills when it is torn down? At least have the decency to stay and deflect, & madly sidestep the way the other lefty troll posters do. Even better, have the heart to admit you were wrong and apologize.

I've never understood why liberals try to push their beliefs on other people. If you think abortion is OK - don't be surprised when people who value life oppose you. If you think homosexuality is OK - fine - don't force your lifestyle or promote it on the rest of us - especially not our children. Why do you have to pretend to be little crusader knights - shoving your liberal social agenda down everybody's throat - and attacking people who understand right from wrong?
