“As the “party of Lincoln”, I recall damned few Republicans working for civil rights and voter registration for black citizens”
You bought the liby lib propaganda. I’d suggest reading the history of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
I lived through that period and recall meetings in 1963-4 at the University of California at Berkeley YAF (Young Americans for Freedom, a goldwaterite youth group) and one salient private discussion with one of the members who nattered on about the perils of “race miscegination”. C’mon, R.B., be honest with yourself, how many Republicans were on the ground registering black people in rural Mississippi while being harrassed by the Sheriff, the Klan & their supporters? How many conservatives marched with MLK?
This was a righteous struggle by any standard, yet it was accomplished by default by the “liby lib” end of the spectrum because the other end of the spectrum was a no show or obstructionist. My point being that there is NO MYSTERY why the MSM, music industry, Hollywood, etc., are controlled by closet marxists today. This constitutes a DEFEAT for conservatism any way you dice it and we can only blame ourselves for the sorry state of mass media today.
