Just so happens, I have a copy of Byrd's driver's license which I thought one and all should see.
I know this, and many others do, (and going on 63, I lived thru the civil rights movement) but what I don't know and maybe I missed it in this article was how the Rats managed to hijack the black vote from the Republicans and however this was done (and again, I missed this throughout the 60's and beyond, probably being too busy serving in Nam and thereafter, being so turned off to anything politic that I tuned it ALL out) it was a sleight of hand and masterful stroke of political genius, with those responsible for pulling this off, worthy of receiving the Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Of the Century Award.
One does not have to wonder very hard as to how the revisionist has turned these facts on their heads and how none of this is being taught today in our schools--especially, not in any inner city or areas heavily populated by minorities.
As Robert Caro pointed out in his extensive biography of LBJ, shortly after signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, in a phone conversation (on tape at the LBJ Library) with Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, LBJ said, "That'll keep the niggars voting Democrat for the next 200 years." That is just part of it.
The real secret is the penetration of the Democrat Party in the early 20th century by Communists. Learn more about their techniques, their goals, and their overall strategy for taking over the USA and dominating the world. They have achieved many of their aims through the Democrat Party.
Google "Psychopolitics" and "Communist Goals". Read Thomas Fleming's book, The New Dealers' War, the war within WWII and most anything by David horowitz. Fleming shows that through the influence of the Communists in FDR's inner circle, including his wife Eleanor, many of the decisions before and during WWII were made to assist Joseph Stalin and the USSR, including the decision to enter the war.
I am not a conspiracy kook, a name applied to too many (not me) who get too close to the truth, but I have lived through much of it and watched it unfold.
