Also,

Matthew Reilly, Cranston City council member and chairman of the Cranston Republican Party caught passed out in the drivers seat of his car after smoking crack. He had cocaine, fentanyl, and crack all over the open car where anyone including children could grab it.

Let me guess, your answer will be some random person’s tweet having nothing to do with republicans smoking crack and fucking children.

The situation was never as simple as D=Confederates and R=Union. Plenty of blacks voted for FDR. The tipping point I guess was when dems supported, passed, and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and people like Strom Thurmond who filibustered it switched to the republican party. After 1964 all the wealthy white male bigots flocked to the Republican party, and their platform reflected that.

Nearly all the states that didn't ratify the Equal Rights Amendment are now Republican strongholds, because sexism is implicit part of the platform of the Republican party (and it mostly comes from bible-thumping).

This is one of these half-truths the right likes to tell people about the Civil Rights Act.

Sure, more Democrats opposed it than Republicans, but those weren't northern and western liberal Democrats, those were conservative Southern Democrats. If you look at the breakdown of votes by party and region, you see that it was the representatives of the former Confederate states that voted against it.

Also, think about some notable individuals who voted against it. Arizona Republican Barry Goldwater, conservative hero even today, voted against it. One of the so-called Democrats who voted against it was South Carolina Democrat Strom Thurmond, who later became a Republican.

In fact, if you think about the former confederate states, do they tend to vote Republican, or Democratic today?

As for the point about the KKK, they too changed parties in the same time period. They really liked (and still like today!) the kind of reasoning people like Barry Goldwater and Rand Paul use on the Civil Rights Act -- it's wrong because it takes away freedom from racists to discriminate.

Modern conservatives run on a platform that includes dismantling legal protections from discrimination. They use their persuasive clout to stoke racial resentment, and to vilify anyone who expresses even the slightest complaint about racial insensitivity. When called out on it, they hold up events from 50 years ago; not as proof that they're interested in racial equality, but primarily to try to discredit the people who champion equal rights in 2010 as being somehow hypocritical.

Democrats don't deny our past. We definitely don't claim to have always been pure on the question of race, and we don't claim to be pure on it now. What we do claim is that we're committed to using legislation to blunt the worst effects of it, and use whatever persuasive clout we have to kill off the rest of it.

What's a strom?

Civil rights became an issue in the US congress because the states where the grievous inequality was occurring weren't doing anything about it, and it wasn't like southern congressmen were voting for it. Strom Thurmond fucking sat and filibustered for a little over 24 hours straight in an attempt to block the bill. It basically took a set of people not immediately connected to the popular vote of the southern states to do anything about it. Its great to think popular vote is the holy grail to all our problems, but when the dignity and integrity of a minority population is set to suffer at the whims of the majority there needs to be an intervention.

To be quite honest, I haven't been on much - just long enough to fire off a couple of *commands and view a bit of the top 15. Combination of work, travel, and sunshine are eating away at my sift-time.

Got any good stuff?

Was that a Ducati???


Nope, Suzuki SV650, the Poor Man's Ducati. Great bike, amazing value with a fabulous engine. Ducati's are for rich guys with a mechanical engineering degree- about as reliable as Italian trains pre-Mussolini. I'm actually considering buying one to replace my Nighthawk, but am also looking at the DL650 V-Strom- has the same engine, but is a little better set up for touring.

and I thought Strom Thurmond was bad...

we really need an age limit in congress...
