For decades, they (the RATS) have used one of the better moments from their past - the battle against segregation - to great political advantage.

Once again, it must be pointed out that more Republicans voted for Civil Rights legislation than RATS. And it was RATS like J. William Fulbright, Al Gore, Sr., Fritz Hollings, Robert Byrd who staunchly opposed desegregation.

It was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower who ordered the University of Arkansas to allow black students to enter. Sooner or later this is going to sink in.

And this is going to sink in how? Do you think this is taught in public education? Hah! And of course in the inner city, 95% black, rotten schools - do you think this is taught? Hah again!
