Homophobia associated with higher rates of psychoticism

[Rashiminos]

Funny, I'm not aware of any Neo-Nazi parties holding office, or white supremacist... the Republican party doesn't allow that. The Democratic party allowed the KKK to run though...

Save the hyperbole.

Please don't tempt him.

Apparently becoming an elected Republican official nullifies one's tendencies to act in favor of one's beliefs...

Name calling is the last desperate resort when you just lost a debate. You have nothing except your opinion "no they aren't!" LOL, it's laughable.

What.. you mean like calling someone an extreme gay activist?

 

[civman110]

Well enjoy the Republican majority in House and Senate and your next Republican POTUS.

It was nice of Obama to establish the precedent that you can pass laws by executive fiat. I'm sure the new leadership will find that convenient.

 

[Formaldehyde]

One man is a far cry from allowing Neo-Nazis to run as Republican party, but Democrats allowed the KKK to represent Democrats.

You mean like all these facts you are just going to also ignore?

Republicans passed the Civil Rights Laws and freed the slaves. Lincoln and LBJ, both Republicans.

We have already been over all that. The Democrats were responsible for passing the civil rights laws, and when they did so all the racists and bigots switched parties. They are now overwhelmingly Republicans. And LBJ was a Democrat.

But at least you got freeing the slaves and Lincoln correct...

The Republican Party now is in many respects the embodiment of the Democratic Party of the Civil War period. They have become the party of "states rights", bigotry, and racism.

 

[civman110]

Unless they are a member of a Neo-Nazi group what the left claims to be a "white supremacist" or a "Nazi" is laughable. You can throw a rock in any direction and hit 5 people the left has accused of being a white supremacist, or a Nazi.

We have already been over all that. The Democrats were responsible for passing the civil rights laws, and when they did so all the racists and bigots switched parties. They are now overwhelmingly Republicans. And LBJ was ironically a Democrat.

You're right he was a Democrat. This is why I got mixed up:

"The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. President Johnson signed the new Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964."

More Republicans supported the Civil Rights Laws than Democrats.

Real-time selection and substitution... better grab the butter, salt, and

 

[Ajidica]

Last I checked Nazi was an acronym for National Socialist and Margaret Sanger was left wing and supported Hitler and also the KKK in the South, which was part of the Democratic party. Also left wing.

The revisionism isn't mine. Seems like you have a tough time making a lot of distinctions.

For what it is worth, the left-wing Social Democrat Party and the Communist Party were the only parties in the Weimar Republic to vote against the Enabling Act. The Catholic Center Party and the other right-wing parties voted for it.

Of course, don't let that stop you from insisting the Nazis were left wing, or that the vaguely left-wing elements were purged from the party by 1934 with the Night of the Long Knives.

Are you suggesting that because Republicans in the house voted for the bill, you wanted to believe LBJ was a Republican?

 

[civman110]

Socialists are left wing. It's common knowledge.

The Soviets did the same thing with their own revolutionaries after they took power. It's about eliminating political opposition. Hitler exterminated all groups that could be opposition not just other left wingers.

Are you suggesting that because Republicans in the house voted for the bill, you wanted to believe LBJ was a Republican?

I knew more Republicans supported the Civil Rights Laws than Democrats and got my facts mixed up about LBJ's political affiliations. There's no suggesting anything.

 

[Formaldehyde]

More Republicans supported the Civil Rights Laws than Democrats.

That is because so many Southern Democrats at the time were racists and bigots. The Democratic Party initiated it when they had enough votes to assure it would pass.

And guess which party virtually all of the racist Congressmen joined afterwards?

 

[civman110]

That is because so many Southern Democrats at the time were racists and bigots

That's the entire point. Which goes back to the KKK being part of the Democratic party.

Congratulations.

Are you not the least bit curious about how the mix-up came to pass? Who knows if this is the only mix-up that has happened or will ever happen?

Socialists are left wing. It's common knowledge.

In right-wing echo-chambers, anything that ever self-identified as socialist is to be taken at face-value and treated as left-wing.

So instead you should choose not to believe what they themselves have stated their own political affiliations are because you want them to be right wing, since you identify as a left winger?

LOL. Please.

Here's the part the wacky far-right websites you keep quoting without attribution didn't mention:

The Guardian: Were Republicans really the party of civil rights in the 1960s?

House:

Democrat 153 of 244
Republican 136 of 171

Senate:

Democrat 45 of 67
Republican 27 of 33

House:

Union 281 of 313
Confederacy 8 of 102

Senate:

Union 72 of 78
Confederacy 1 of 22

Nearly 100% of Union state Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 85% of Republicans. None of the southern Republicans voted for the bill, while a small percentage of southern Democrats did.

That's why Strom Thurmond left the Democratic party soon after the Civil Right Act passed. He recognized that of the two parties, it was the Republican party that was more hospitable to his message. The Republican candidate for president in 1964, Barry Goldwater, was one of the few non-Confederate state senators to vote against the bill. He carried his home state of Arizona and swept the deep southern states – a first for a Republican ever.

Guess which part of the country is now overwhelmingly red?

Today, the transformation is nearly complete. President Obama carried only 18% of former Confederate states, while taking 62% of non-Confederate states in 2012. Only 27% of southern senators are Democrats, while 62% of Union state senators are Democrats. And 29% of southern members in the House are Democrats compared to 54% in states or territories that were part of the Union.

Thus, it seems to me that minorities have a pretty good idea of what they are doing when joining the Democratic party. They recognize that the Democratic party of today looks and sounds a lot more like the Democratic party of the North that with near unity passed the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 than the southern Democrats of the era who blocked it, and today would, like Strom Thurmond, likely be Republicans.

If you actually hate racism and bigotry as you continue to allege, you belong to the wrong party and support the wrong people.

You should also clearly get your information from other sources.

 

[Senethro]

That's the entire point. Which goes back to the KKK being part of the Democratic party.

Congratulations.

Yes. The racists and bigots were evicted from the Democratic party. As in, are no longer part of. When you make the connection here I'll give you a patronising congratulations too.

Now stop worrying about the mote in someone else's grandfather's eye, and worry about the beam in your own.

 

[Rashiminos]

So instead you should choose not to believe what they themselves have stated their own political affiliations are because you want them to be right wing, since you identify as a left winger?

LOL. Please.

I indentified as left-winger?

I see no reason to insult socialists and Nazis by making a false equivalence.

Here's the part the wacky far-right websites you keep quoting without attribution didn't mention:

So voting records is far right info now? Lol, that's so asinine and extreme. I can't take you seriously.


"The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. President Johnson signed the new Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964."

Intentionally slanting it just one way to deliberately distort what really occurred is.

"That's the scary thing about Republicans. They don't care about facts." Bill Maher

Lol, you're such a little extremist.

Do you know what the words "irony" and "hypocrisy" mean?

 

[civman110]

It's a voting record you can't "distort" it.

Do you know what the words "irony" and "hypocrisy" mean?

I should be asking you and the Democrats that!

Voting down Civil Rights Laws. They should be ashamed!

Thank God more Republicans supported those laws than Democrats, or it never would have passed!

 

[Rashiminos]

Lol, you're such a little extremist.

Again with the pejoratives.

 

[Formaldehyde]

It's a voting record you can't "distort" it.

Yet you obviously did by quoting intentionally misleading statistics from a website you didn't want to post here.



The Civil Rights Act passed because of the number of Democratic Party votes in favor of it. That is a fact.

The final house version was drafted by John F. Kennedy and was submitted by Manny Celler (D-NY). Those are also facts.
