Republicans and Civil Rights

We heard it in the civil rights movement, when brave men and women did not say ... "We shall cope," or "We shall see." They said ... "We shall overcome."

An American president must call upon that character.

George W. Bush - August 2000

terrific article!

[TLBSHOW]

Bttt and Bump!

Truth is the Republicans not the democrats have done more for the Civil Rights of Americans than the democrats.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Republicans support equal rights for everyone regardless of race. Democrats support institutionalized racial discrimination, just as they always have.

[TLBSHOW]

This is an issue that if republicans get their act together we will put an end to the liberals name calling of Republicans as racist. Republicans need to grow some spine.
That is all it takes.

I do my part, why don't you help stop the rats using the race card? Which is a democrat tall tale based on all lies!

[TLBSHOW]

Republicans support equal rights for everyone regardless of race.

BUMP

And Democrats do and say whatever they can to get elected and to get power. Instead democrats are a corrupt and racist party of jackasses besides being liars!!

[Howlin]

You and Lott deserve each other. Both of you will give up your principles in a second.

And why don't YOU stop being a bigot, racially AND religiously.

We won't ever forget you calling Bush a commie, no matter how many times you type "we."

For the truth about our Grand Old Party and civil rights, see www.republicanbasics.com for information about "Back to Basics for the Republican Party".

;;;;;;;;
Why don't you stop being blinded by all the lies!

Trent is no racist or bigot as I am not. Keep calling Trent a racist and a bigot it show how wrong you really are. Anyways President Bush does not think like you on this matter does he?

Statement by the President


"I respect the very difficult decision Trent made on behalf of the American people.

As Majority and Minority Leader of the Senate, Trent Lott improved education for the American people; he led the way in securing tax relief; he strengthened our national security; and he stood for a bold and effective foreign policy.

Trent is a valued friend, and a man I respect. I am pleased he will continue to serve our Nation in the Senate, and


I look forward to working with him on our agenda to make America safer, stronger, and better."

[TLBSHOW]

Bump again for the truth about racist democrats!

[Howlin]

Why don't you stop being blinded by all the lies!

I guess the rest of us have to be blind in order for your stupid agenda to work, huh? Only YOU have all the answers.

I'm sure glad nobody pays any attention to your ramblings on here.

[dogbyte12]

Worst attempt at Lott hijacking the thread ever!

[TLBSHOW]

That is what I thought......too!

You and Lott deserve each other. Both of you will give up your principles in a second.

And why don't YOU stop being a bigot, racially AND religiously.

We won't ever forget you calling Bush a commie, no matter how many times you type "we."

Toddler. If you give up Lott threads for a week, I will buy you some french fries.

[TLBSHOW]

Did you even read the thread story?


For the Record

At the 100th birthday party of former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond, Sen. Trent Lott oozed flattery and camaraderie and said that it might have been a good thing if Thurmond had become president when he ran in 1948.

I don't like Trent Lott, mostly for reasons having to do with public policy and his limp-wristed behavior as a Senate majority leader. It is true that Lott should have known better. The politically correct police just wait for Republicans to say dumb things and Lott obliged them. One more time Republicans are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

But after all, Lott was a Democrat when he was a young guy making foolish statements at the University of Mississippi. You would be hard-pressed to find a single Republican in any Southern school of that era.

Like many middle-aged Southerners of his generation, as a youth he was not an exemplary champion of civil rights. Nonetheless, Lott continues to get elected to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi by a significant number of blacks in addition to whites.

Perhaps it is the rural nature of the state. Perhaps it is that rural blacks do not make a profession of holding grudges against whites who made statements or did things in their youth that they have come to regret.

[TLBSHOW]

Sure they do, you should read my freepmail!

[Howlin]

It's very telling that you have to brag about your Freepmail. Kind of sad.

[thepitts]

Instead democrats are a corrupt and racist party of jackasses besides being liars!!

You saying the republicans are any different?

[dogbyte12]

So, people only feel willing to agree with you in Freep mail, they are too ashamed to admit it in public?

Btw...the offer stands... a king sized burger king fries coupon for you, if you avoid Trent Lott for 1 week.
