I bet if JR did a poll, you would see that around 75% of kids here under 40 think the Civil Rights Act was great...after all Hannity and Beck tout it all the time.
they don’t realize all that was the Great Society era and the can of worms it opened
there is a reason Magnus and Goldwater and Buckley all were on record opposing it
“after all Hannity and Beck tout it all the time.”
And Limbaugh does this as well, just not as often. They do a great disservice to the conservatives of that era who recognized the danger of empowering the national government to monitor the thoughts and private actions of American people. The Civil Rights bills became the model for progressives to use the force of the national government to impose their value systems on the rest of the nation.
Unhappy about gay marriage? Race and gender quotas? Well you have no business complaining if like Beck and Hannity and Rush you champion the very legislation that has diminished the ability of common Americans to defend their cultural norms against an aggressive and progressive ruling class.
