If Dwight Eisenhower were alive today, he'd get thrown out of the Republican party faster than you can say John Boehner.

If John F Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson were alive today, they would vomit at the site of the Democrat party....

‎”These Negroes, they‘re getting pretty uppity these days and that‘s a problem for us since they‘ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we‘ve got to do something about this, we‘ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”
-Lyndon B. Johnson

After fifty years of civil rights, poverty for Blacks is still a huge problem. I thought the point of this was to help people escape poverty, not make it into an unescapable reality. This disgusting quote from LBJ sums it up perfectly; the Democrats care just enough to keep them voting Democrat.

And then there's this:
"“I’ll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
-LBJ

Anyone who is saying Republicans were he ones who did some of those things is forgetting that they were the liberal party then. In the 20th century it flip flopped.

And the democrats are spending what we don't have... if this continues, no one will get a welfare check or a social security check because no country will loan us money anymore.. it will come to that if no one steps in and fixes our economy and creates jobs... the jobs fund the programs ..Without the working people who pay taxes, there is no tax money to be found.
