Democratic Senator Byrd also FILIBUSTERED the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Al Gore’s dad also did his best to thwart the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Is it any wonder that the liberals in public schools have to rewrite history!

So what. My own Senator at the time, Republican John Tower of Texas also filibustered the Bill as I would have. This travesty of a Bill was outright Socialism. Our other Senator, Liberal/Populist Ralph W. Yarborough not only didn’t filibuster but actually voted for this POS and was promptly thrown out of office.
