And do you deny that it was Christians, just as they are in the pro-marriage/family/life movements, who led the way in the abolition movement?Trevor Thomashttp://www.trevorgrantthomas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682405763952879345.post-20265381977188962362015-07-13T01:09:43.818-04:002015-07-13T01:09:43.818-04:00Your stats don't disprove the point I made.

If you cannot admit that the south and its politicians have oppressed minorities for generations, you're more deusional than I thought when I first read this post.

It passed by an overall vote of 73-27. In the House, 96 Democrats and 34 Republicans voted against the Civil <br />Rights Act, passing with an overall 290-130 vote. While most Democrats in both chambers voted for it, the bulk of the opposition was from Democrats.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/300432/party-civil-rights-kevin-d-williamson" rel="nofollow">As Kevin Williamson notes</a>, "There is no radical break in the Republicans’ civil-rights history:<br /> From abolition to Reconstruction to the anti-lynching laws, from the <br />Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1875 to <br />the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, and 1964, there exists a line that is by no means perfectly straight or unwavering but that nonetheless connects the politics of Lincoln with those of Dwight D. Eisenhower. And from slavery and secession to remorseless opposition to everything from Reconstruction to the anti-lynching laws, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1875, and the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960, there exists a similarly identifiable line connecting John Calhoun and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Supporting civil-rights reform <br /><br />was not a radical turnaround for congressional Republicans in 1964, but it was a radical turnaround for Johnson and the Democrats.<br /><br />The fact is that the Republican Party was (and is) the anti-slavery party, and is the pro-marriage, and pro-life party because of one thing: Christian conservatives. The same Truth that reveals slavery for the evil that it is, is that same Truth that tells us that a child in the womb is a life worth protecting at every stage, and that marriage is the union of one man and one woman for life.Trevor Thomashttp://www.trevorgrantthomas.comnoreply@blogger.com
