kallend 2,032 #26 March 11, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuote100% correct. No positive social or ethical change has ever come about from conservative values. Remind me again - WHICH party was it that filibustered the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964? Oh, that's right - it was the DEMOCRATS. Remind me again why right wing followers simply can't read and comprehend simple written words?. Blatant, isn't it? And so predictable.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #27 March 11, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuote Every positive social change has been adamantly opposed the conservatives. Which, of course, is why the DEMOCRATS were the ones filibustering the Equal Rights Act. MMMMMMMMmmmmmm, koolaid. The word was "conservatives", not "Democrats". Misrepresenting another's words yet again! Rebutting, not misrepresenting. Maybe you should take some time from lying about gun laws to re-read that dictionary you keep talking about, since you can't seem to tell the difference.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Which, of course, is why the DEMOCRATS were the ones filibustering the Equal Rights Act. MMMMMMMMmmmmmm, koolaid. You're not still referring to the bloc of racist, segregationist Southern "Dixiecrats" like Strom Thurmond (just before he switched to the Republican party) and his ilk who tried to filibuster the Equal Rights Act of 1964, and were reviled by the rest of the party outside the Segregationist South, are you? That's already been dealt with in Post #21. A filibuster by these racist, reactionary soon-to-be Republican holdovers who happened to be part of the last vestiges of the pre-WWII Democratic wing in the Deep South is a far cry form that being done by "the Democrats" (your phrase). Is that what you're hanging your rhetorical hat on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which, of course, is why the DEMOCRATS were the ones filibustering the Equal Rights Act. MMMMMMMMmmmmmm, koolaid. Comprehension, Mike. Look up the word "progressive" in the dictionary. Look up the work "Democrat" in the dictionary. Note that the definitions are quite different. The right wing bully tactic of repeating unrelated facts as though they had a bearing on the issue at hand only works on those people who aren't real smart. That crap does not impress anyone with any intelligence. The fact that Dixiecrats filibustered civil rights legislation is actually PROVES my point, Mike. There is NO WAY anyone with a modicum of intelligence and knowlege of history could mistake a Dixiecrat for a Progressive. That shit may fly in right wingnut world. It doesn't in the real world. In right wingnut world, it must count as a BRILLIANT argument. Sounds good, but has no basis in reality at all, unless one is totally and completely ignorant of the facts and the context of historical event under discussion..

Since you're so damn sure of the conservatives' blocking of progressive works, I'm sure you can show MANY examples where that's happened, with vote counts, of course, to prove that none of those EEEBIL Republicans voted for it.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
