On This Day in 1964, Democrats Filibustered the Civil Rights Act

It's nice to be reminded of true history, not revised history.

Janelle, it's great you are talking about history but we have to focus on now.

This is really getting old. The parties of 50 years ago are not the same as they are today. Remember, it was Southern and Border state Democrats who did that, not the party as a whole.

People always say that the parties switched or that the parties didn't switch, but in truth neither statement is 100% accurate and the evolution of the parties is a complicated topic. For example, in the gilded age, the GOP supported a nanny state while the Democrats were libertarians, but the GOP has always been more business-friendly and the Democrats more suspicious of business.

If you actually cared about History, you would have said that Democrats in the senate supported the bill 46-21, meaning that 2/3rds of the party supported it.

but we know you dont actually care.

Nope sorry, Democrats in the 60s were the racist conservatives that now make up the entire GOP.

Only people like you actually believe the nonsense you're trying to spout with right wing trash like the Gateway Pundit.

Not the Party as a whole but a whole lot of the Party.
