i know that and pointed that out but according to them anything before 1964 doesn’t matter and they claim that the party platforms switched and reversed in the 60’s which is laughable...but i’m guessing its a myth created in pubic school

The only thing that switched in the 60s were the blacks from Republicans to Democrats once the Democrats became the Welfare caretakers, i.e. “free stuff.”

You should take that list of what I posted and post it to your liberals and then watch them go nuts. ;-)

...i know that and pointed that out but according to them anything before 1964 doesn’t matter...1964 is the pivotal year in which Republicans provided the margin for the passage of the Civil Rights Act which many southern Democrats opposed - so if a lot of southerners transferred to the Republicans after that it's hard to see why they'd be labeled "racists" - in fact many of them changed parties because they saw Democrats supporting the worst elements of that Act - the quotas/special favors which it was leading toward - even Hubert Humphrey, sponsor of the bill, was so concerned that he promised that if it ever lead to special treatment for any minority he would "eat a copy of the bill" - he didn't live long enough to keep his promise......
