Obama has corrupted the government and it is that creature which has been turned against us, led by the IRS holding hands with the DOJ and WH that needs to be sanitized along with the EPA and other agencies.
The government has been in need of oversight before Obama, but now he owns them and they have gone rogue.
To get the agencies under control you need the antithesis of obama as president...and that would not be Hillary.
When one is dumb enough to let the fox, guard the hen house, you lose chickens.
Jim Crow laws were a Progressive control law composed and passed by a majority of Progressive Democrats.
Anyone who thinks that Democrats of the late 1800s and early 1900s were progressives simply doesn't know American History. One of the most famous people of that time, noted as being a "progressive", was Theodore Roosevelt - a Republican. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge of American History knows that the political parties swapped roles in the political landscape starting roughly in the 1960s, the Democrats becoming the progressive party and the Republicans becoming the reactionary party. Most notably, Strom Thurmond, who ran as a segregationist Democrat in 1948, became a Republican (in 1964), as did former-Democrat Jesse Helms (in 1970 - who went on to filibuster against making Martin Luther King Jr. day a federal holiday).

There is a reason that the civil right act was composed and passed by a majority of Republicans.
Why lie? Conservatives have been fighting for state;s right for decades in order to implement racist institutions, take away women's reproductive rights, make gays second class citizens, and push creationism as science.
But all of a sudden Cons agree with the "big bad government" and liberals, yet their party is completely devoid of minority support.....oh wait, Cons blame minorities of being too stupid and voting against their interest.

Too funny.
First enacted in 1876, the bulk of Jim Crow laws were passed in many states from 1890 to 1919 and remained as laws until the 1960's.
If we look at history, the exact time the Progressive Era was taking place in politics. The same time that the most racist President to ever hold office after the civil war, enacted many racial segregating laws.
White & Black Republicans stood up once again in the 1960's to free the slaves.
MLK was a Republican. The civil rights act was composed by a republican caucus in the 1950's. JFK refused to sign it first as a Senator and again as President. LBJ signed it as a compromise to get his grand idea of "Great Society" passed. The democrats threw a fit for allowing black people the freedom they had. Notice LBJ didn't even try to run for re-election?
And his widow was a close friend of Democratic leaders, denounced an Republican POTUS for working against marriage equality, and denounced many Republican initiatives in her advocacy. Perhaps nothing so clearly draws the line between when the Republicans were the progressives and the Democrats were the reactionaries, and when the Democrats became the progressives and the Republicans became the reactionaries, as Dr. King's assassination. It took another five to ten years for the transition to be complete, but that one event is as good as any with regard to serving as the point when the political parties switched places.
Do you think the "wrong side" (i.e. the federalists) won the debate early on as to what sort of nation the United States should be and we have been paying the price since then?

Why lie, Con?
This is too funny.
So white Conservative Southerners passed the Civil Rights Act at the angst of Northern Liberals?
Is this really how you are going to rewrite history?
Just another reason not to take right wingers seriously.
It is important for TPers, faux-libertarians and neocons to deny how much their perspectives have ruined the Republican Party's validity and moral standing.
It should be noted that even the relatively "federalist-lite" approach of the Federalists turned out to be too "lite" and the Fourteenth Amendment passed to secure for the nation a yet-even-more "federalist" union.
