Regarding the 1964 Civil Rights act-Come on-lol! Are you engaging in revisionist history on purpose or just out of lack of knowledge. I am sure you are very aware that it was liberals versus conservatives, not necessarily Democrats versus Republicans. In the 1960's there were lots of conservative democrats called Dixiecrats and even a fewliberal Republicans. The dixiecrats were dems because the democratic party was the party of unions. After the civlil rights act passed, LBJ said: we just lost the south for the next 50 years. Very precient. The dirty little secret is that the Republican's then went to the south and said "vote for us and we will not enforce those civil rights acts anymore than we have to e.g. affirmative action and busing. Conservative senators filabustered for 14 days to stop it. Then in 1980 there was Lee Atwater who was as bad a man as Hitler, who developed "the southern strategy". A strategy to woe the southern conservatives away from the dems by demagauging the three G's: "guns, god and gays". It was an ugly staregy that divided us until Nov 4, 2008!
