Your history is 'sort of' true, but you leave out important factoids, such as:
After passage of the Civil Rights Bill, most of the Southern Democrats switched parties. Look it up. Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, Ronald Reagan, Trent Lott, Lizzie Dole, the list goes on and on. Republicans hated the Civil Rights Act, your revisionist views notwithstanding. They still do. They are the party of angry old white folks.
The vote, which you present as Republican vs. Democrat, was not that at all. It was North vs South;
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%)(only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%)(this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%)(only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%)
Try to get your facts straight before posting.

US President Barack Obama has said "no faith justifies" last week's killings of 13 people at an army base in Texas.

Mr Obama's comments came in an address to a memorial service for the victims of the Fort Hood shootings, after he met relatives of those who died.

Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, who is accused of carrying out the massacre, was shot by police and remains in hospital.

US intelligence authorities have said they knew Maj Hasan had been in contact with a cleric sympathetic to al-Qaeda.

Mr Obama said mourners had come to "pay tribute to 13 men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home".

The fact that the victims died on American soil made it "even more painful and even more incomprehensible", he said.


We know that the killer will be met with justice - in this world, and the next
Barack Obama

The US president told the thousands of people at the service that they had come together "filled with sorrow".

He also praised the bravery of those who had helped victims in the "terrible minutes during the attack".

"It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy, but this much we do know - no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favour," he continued.

"And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice - in this world, and the next."

Also attending the service was Army Chief of Staff George Casey, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, Adm Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Maj Hasan is recovering from gunshot wounds at a military hospital and will be charged in a military court over last Thursday's shootings - he has declined to be interviewed by investigators.

That's really hard to believe when the ACLU's founder, Roger Nash Baldwin, said these words:
“My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment. Therefore, I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”-Roger Baldwin

Another domestic terrorist sounding whacko.

Repost. For those who realize reality isn't fun and sought out soapboxes.
Dear Lord, grant some common sense, humanity and some decency to this country.

FBI investigated?
Wasn't Homeland Security supposed to improve communications among agencies?
We now know all this stuff about the guy AFTER the fact?
The Homeland Security that includes FEMA?
Right. Excellent.

Quote Grampy-
Not when political correctness rules the land. Why nobody in the FBI or Homeland Security wants to be accused of "Acting Stupidly" and appear to be profiling. Not while the Ditherer-in-Chief has a full deck of race cards and won't hesitate to toss one out and kill a bureaucrat's career in a second.

<quoted text>You lost your freedom and right to vote after the Vietnam War?
What? The question was: what's changed? I still have my freedom, and my right to vote. I still pay too much for taxes. I still see too much white & blue collar crime. I still see the same white house, playing the same political game. What has changed is our crime rate, it's gone up. Scams have become more blantant, and simply more of them. Jobs have been outsourced. Cities have higher pollution. Our food's become more toxic. I guess we've had some changes. Media's become more greedy & dishonest. Hollywood writers have lowered us to unimaginable depths. Our children & elderly are still completely disrespected. Our Vets get a little more respect but not much sympathy or help when they return home handicapp - I guess the families are happy they return home.

Did you ever wonder why the Left is trying so hard to disarm Americans. I just heard a heart breaking story on the radio told by a guy from Canada who stood next to a gurney in a hospital corridor for THREE DAYS watching his mother die of a coronary. Seems there simply weren't any beds for her and she was denied even palliative care. I couldn't help thinking that if it were me, the conversation with the doctor would have been along the lines of "Who's going to live longer, you or my mother?"
For those who think I am exaggerating, have you ever been at the bedside of a dying loved one? Such grief makes a man capable of ANYthing.
I heard another story about a baby in England who was born two days too early to be offered assistance. The baby was left in a room with its mother to die, a process which took hours. Is there any man reading this who wouldn't face a homicide charge rather than stand by impotently as his baby slowly suffocated?
Whatever you think of him personally, would you like to be the doctor who tells Oreally "I'm sorry, I can't save your child, there simply aren't enough resources."
Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
Cite the sources of these "stories". I've heard many stories too. If I intend to provide validation of what I "heard" I either put up or shut up. May be not willingly....

The left wing psychology is that it's OK to be a pervert so long as you are open about being a pervert.
The right wing psychology is that it's OK to be a pervert/adulterer/pedophile so long as you promise to repent and never do it again while crying for the media.

Must not seem like a big a big deal to the current administration.
