that’s the thread that sent me searching as well as this little bit of tortured leftist history from the link at the Arizona thread this A.M.
“When Goldwater ran against the 1964 Civil Rights Act during his failed presidential campaign that year, and when Republicans successfully used racial appeals as an electoral strategy for decades after that, black voters left the Republican Party, never to return.”

Quotes, Sayings, and Aphorisms by Theodore Roosevelt
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
