wing fought with the liberals over passing the 1964 civil rights act, including 54 days of filibustering to stop it.

It was democrats who fought it and filibustered it. The group of Democrats was in some ways more conservative than other democrats, but they where not generally really on the right wing or strongly associated with the conservative movement. That is unless your defining opposing such things as conservative or right wing, which is a silly non-standard definition, and which makes your argument circular. It becomes "the people who opposed the civil rights bill, opposed the civil bill". Really? Wow, who would have thought...

AND DEFEATED, the equal rights amendment for women...

...And the right wing is even now fighting with the liberals over gay marriage and gays in the military.

Not supporting specific "civil rights" bills or movements does not imply that you care less than others about people's rights. Its just a matter of opposing questionable ideas, or questionable or outright bad bills.

There is something wrong with you right wingers that you cannot seem to understand basic human decency.

When you get to define both "right wing" and "decency" sure than "the right wind doesn't understand basic human decency", but if your going to throw around terms to mean whatever you want them to mean, whatever is convenient for your argument, than you lose all ability to communicate a real argument. It becomes meaningless talking past each other rather than a real conversation. I could twist the definitions myself and say all sorts of questionable or false things about the left wing, but I'm not really in to mindless ranting.
