Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Glad this young man caught up with us gray beards. Want the FACTS on the GOP? Go to http://grandoldpartisan.typepad.com/. Learn it, live it, use it for debating points. They’ll never know what hit ‘em.
September 13th, 2008 at 7:04 pmJust came back with this little tidbit from Mr. Zak @ Grand Old Partisan:
Republicans passed the 1957 Civil Rights Act
On this day in 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the 1957 Civil Rights Act. The law had been written by his Attorney General, Herbert Brownell. Brownell was a former Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
This landmark Republican measure was the first federal civil rights legislation since the GOP’s 1875 Civil Rights Act. In contrast, during the twenty years of the FDR and Truman administrations, the Democrats had refused to enact any civil rights legislation.
In his January 1957 State of the Union address, President Eisenhower had re-submitted Brownell’s bill to Congress, where it had languished the year before. Brownell’s original draft would have permitted the Attorney General to sue anyone violating another person’s constitutional rights, but this powerful provision would have to wait until the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The new law established a Civil Rights Division within the Justice Department and authorized the Attorney General to request injunctions from federal courts against any attempt to deny someone’s right to vote. The bill had to be weakened considerably to secure enough Democrat votes to pass, so violations would be civil, not criminal offenses, and penalties were light.
From the beginning, the 1957 Civil Rights Act had overwhelming support in the House of Representatives. As ever, Democrats in the Senate were the chief obstacle, and Vice President Richard Nixon played a key role in outmaneuvering them. Nixon campaigned hard for passage of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, declaring: “Most of us will live to see the day when American boys and girls shall sit, side by side, at any school – public or private – with no respect paid to the color of skin. Segregation, discrimination, and prejudice have no place in America.”
Michael Zak is a popular speaker to Republican organizations around the country, showing office-holders, candidates and activists how they would benefit tremendously from appreciating the heritage of our Grand Old Party. Back to Basics for the Republican Party is his acclaimed history of the GOP from the Republican point of view. Each day, his Grand Old Partisan blog — http://grandoldpartisan.typepad.com — celebrates 154 years of Republican heroes and heroics. See www.RepublicanBasics.com for more information.

September 13th, 2008 at 7:53 pmThe discussion should not be limited to the slavery discussion. Official human bondage is over in this country.
What needs to be examined, however, is why the Democrat Party aligns itself with enemies of freedom every time: slavery first, and now Marxism/Socialism. How is it that this fact continues to escape public dialogue? Why is the main stream media aligned with the Democrat Party?
What perverse thought compels African Americans to align exclusively with the party of enslavement?
