In 1964, southern democrats were most certainly NOT liberal.
Need to get your facts straight.
Great movie by the way.
It's just like the republicans of today are not the same as the GOP of 50+ years ago; heck, even 30 years ago. Mitt Romney, a republican, is not at all like his dad was. His dad was actually pretty liberal for the time.
Love the Dems reasoning on this: Those Dems/progressives were Republicans so we can't be blamed for any of that WAAAYYYYYY back then.
Personal responsibility is a virtue that certainly lacks in the Progressive party.

It's hard to believe you are as stupid as you appear to be. The conservatives in the south were democrats because Lincoln was a republican.Originally posted by IMCC965:

When liberal democrats (along with a few liberal republicans) voted for civil rights the conservatives in the south switched to the republican party. It is really not that difficult except for the truly stupid.
+1 The old GOP passed the voting rights act, the current one wont bring it up for a vote. I know cons love to live in the past, but that point makes the stark reality of the present pretty clear.
But, you can plan for the future and perhaps make it a better place than it was in the past. That's called being proactive and progressive. I think that's a much better approach.
Gene Hackman is a Great actor. That's great with a capital G.
Also a great cast of players on Missippi Burning.

It does beggar the imagination. However, he is consistent in his views. I don't think I've ever agreed with him. On anything.Originally posted by Torg:

I'm sure you have. You just have to go back MANY years to recall it.Originally posted by BrentJDiekman:

You are a member of the NAACP? If not what civil rights organization do you belong to? On several occasion you have taken strong, I mean strong Civil Rights stances. And don't think we are not appreciative. Are you and ACLU guy? Come on, lets get out of the closet not one is going to hurt you. Are you a member of HCORA?
I am in Georgia and one of people I want to meet while I am down her is John Lewis. Would you like me to say hi for ya? Its good to know we have a proud civil rights supporter up there in Iowa. I think Mr. Lewis will be happy to know you are a good friend to the black and minority folks. Lots of civil rights supporters here is Augusta I am finding out. They have a large NAACP Chapter.
We have lots of work to do on Civil Rights. Glad to know you are with us. Can we put you down for donation, maybe some volunteer time?
Let me know if I can introduce you to some Civil Rights Activists. Maybe you can help us there in Iowa and Missouri. Its come to our attention that Civil Rights violations are taking place not far from you according to the Justice Department. We want to give those our due attention.
Again thanks for your support of Civil Rights. We need all the help we can get.

But didn't our Great Leader remind us:
"Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," the president said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."
Dems like to live in the past too. And, the "stark reality of the present" can escape the libs also.

And the issue of race is far more complex than what political party one supports. It amuses me that race is such a political issue when in fact it never really was that way. And southerner who has ever been up north has to laugh at any northerner who likes to point south and say they are the bad guys. They forget about their own history of racism and segregation.
IMCC is just using race as a game. He really is not that funny and I am most certain he would not go over well in any southern state I have ever been.
Alabama is good state. I like the people there. True they are more conservative than I, but heck I am from Kansas and one of the most conservative counties in the state. I have and can live with conservatives so long as they are not just looking at me and saying oh you must racist because you are a progressive. I don't find that in the south. That's IMCC outlook on the world, a very childish outlook at that.
