I have come to the conclusion that regardless of facts, liberals just stay with their talking points. It doesn't matter what the real numbers are, or the what the real voting record is, or just facts in general if it doesn't fit their objectives. This being the reason that I really wanted to get the book Demonic by Ann Coulter. I can't give you a good reason for this but I am a terrible online shopper, even with books I want to pick it up before I buy it. Remarkably, the book was constantly sold out at my local Barnes and Noble, quite a feat in heavily democratic Northern Virginia. Congrats Ann. I was finally able to pick it up today.

Some other fun facts - 18% of republicans voted against 1964 civil rights act, 44% of democrats voted against in the senate. In the house, 20% of republicans voted against, and 37% of democrats voted against.


The longest filibuster in history was done in response to a civil rights bill that meant to fix enforcement provisions that the democrats had gutted. They filibustered for 125 hours.


Even after Richard Nixon's administration had a proven record on desegregating the schools (from 1968-1970 black students attending all black schools dropped from 68% to 18.4%) Julian Bond said the following:

If you could call Adolf Hitler a friend of the Jews, you could call President Nixon a friend of the blacks

So even after Nixon was able to drop the percentage of black students in segregated schools down by half he was still a racist. Nixon also created the programs that give minorities advantages to government contracts, called the Philadelphia Plan. Not something that conservatives are thrilled about due to the unconstitutionally of the federal government picking winners and losers.


We need to know our history.
