It was, after all, the Democrats who created the KKK and initiated and enforced Jim Crow laws in the South. It was Earl Warren, a Republican, who was appointed to be chief justice of the Supreme Court by Dwight Eisenhower, another Republican, who ruled that separate but equal was unconstitutional. And although Lyndon Johnson was in the White House in 1964 when he pushed for the passage of the Civil Rights Act, it became the law of the land because of the Republicans. In the House, only 64% of the Democrats, but 80% of the Republicans, voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68% of the Democrats endorsed the bill, 82% of the Republicans voted to enact it.”

Please, please - let's call a spade a spade! It was the Dixie-Democrats that created the KKK - and the race to 'Christian Academies' to escape the law of the land, which integrated public schools in the south. The current Republicans may honestly be proud to be called the 'party of Lincoln', but those who are still fighting the Civil War are being a bit disingenuous - don't you think? It's right-wing 'talking points’, which 'mismanage' history like this that proves that American History needs to be taught honestly - so that our present students are not fooled by this misuse of 'political' terms. Beaver - you and SOME right- wing journalists are pushing the younger generation to the Democrats by your deceitful reporting.
