[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1049571, member: 4805"] That's simply not true. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by majorities of [I]both[/I] parties and signed into law by a democratic president. The split in congress was not rep/dem, but rather north/south: Note that even in the south there were democratic congressmen who supported it, the southern republicans were 100% opposed. In the north it also received higher support from the democrats, both in percentages and actual numbers. Barry Goldwater, the father of the modern conservative movement, voted against it giving as his reason that the government shouldn't legislate morality. There is a reason that President Johnson, a democrat, said "We have lost the South for a generation." [/QUOTE]
