That is certainly a convoluted explanation and you had the nerve to say TimF was misrepresenting the facts?

Quote a single statement from any of my posts in this conversation and then show how its a misrepresentation. You can't do it because none of them misrepresent anything. I doubt you will even try. Instead you will most likely stick with ad-hominem, personal attack, and ignoring the points and questions of those discussing the issue with you. I hope I'm wrong. On some other issues you sometimes address the points other people raise, but on this issue it seems you have a fixed script. You know damn well the Republicans that voted for the 64 civil rights act were liberal Republicans and the Democrats that voted against it were conservative Dixiecrates. You still haven't defined liberal or liberals (or conservative/conservatives for that matter). From your past on this issue it seems you largely define them based on their votes on this issue, which makes your claims useless tautologies (and which also uses definitions other than those that most people would use). Not all the Democratic votes against the bills (or closure votes) were from southerners. Quite a few of them were from big government welfare state supporters. Is supporting big government, an expanding welfare state, etc conservative? Where northern Democrats dixiecrats? Were/are Republican supporters of limited constitutional government and fiscal conservatism liberals? (In the sense you use the term, in an older sense they probably were, but that's not what we are talking about here.)
