This Day in Republican History 6/09/06

June 9, 1964 Republicans condemn 14-hour filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act by U.S. Senator and former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), who still serves in the Senate Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan -- the terrorist arm of the Democratic party. He says he never committed any violence, but who knows how many acts of terror his recruits committed? Almost certainly there is blood on his hands. He claims he joined because he was an anti-communist. I guess he wasn't aware of the much larger anti-communist group that didn't have the rampant racism of the KKK called the Republican Party. But it's ok. His sins are forgiven. Why? Because he is a liberal Democrat. The biggest porker in the senate, an opponent of free trade, pro-abortion, in favor of high taxes, in favor of left wing activists on the bench and opposed to malpractice reform. His support of the left means that his history is purged, forgotten, never to see the light of day. Never mind that the Senator filibustered and voted against the 1964 civil rights act, along with Al Gore Sr. and Fritz Hollings, just to name a few. And this was after the Democrats pledged in their 1960 platform that they would honor civil rights laws. Never mind that this man helped a terrorist organization (no wonder he is against the patriot act). This windbag has, for too long, successfully passed himself off as a statesman -- a modern day Cicero or Cato. You would think that African-Americans would detest this man, and that if the Democratic party were truly the party of civil rights and the party of minorities, he would be a pariah and not its patron saint. Instead Senator Dodd (D-CT) praised him and said he would have made a great leader during the Civil War. For which side? Hint: Byrd proudly played the Confederate General Paul J. Semms in the TV movie "Gods and Generals."

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
