We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
The Dems were the party of racism... NOTE THE WORD WERE!
Southern Democrats up until the late 60's were DEMOCRAT CONSERVATIVES. They voted for racist laws and WERE the party that led much of the racist laws in this country. With the passing of the Civil Rights acts of the 60's, those CONSERVATIVE democrats left the party, and became today's CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS!

Hey... read the history of the racist SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS. They were slowly eliminated from the Democrat party when the SOUTH turned Conservative Republican, and has voted that way since at least Nixon.

How the South Became Republican: It’s About Race
The South has now shifted from being the conservative Democratic stronghold to a Republican base and southern politicians bring the baggage of excessively conservative social and greedy irresponsible economic policies into the Republican fold.
it was in 1964 that Strom Thurmond finally switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party that began this avalanche of "coming out" parties where all these Democrats, who were really closet Republicans, came out of the closet to present themselves as what they truly were, which was super conservative and still segregationists…. http://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/11/how-the-south-became-republican-it-s-about-race/

Yup. The Conservative Racists switched parties: Strom Thurmond switched from the Democratic to Republican Party in September 1964, and by the time of his death nearly 40 years later, he had become the oldest person to ever serve in the Senate.

Running for President as a Dixiecrat in 1948, Strom Thurmond declared that "all the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches and our places of recreation." By 1964, with civil rights marching onward, it was clear that his fellow Democrats disagreed. Thurmond jumped ship, joining the Republican Party that year. The first major Southern pol to cross the aisle during the civil rights era, the South Carolina Senator marked the beginning of the GOP's appeal to white, Southern conservatives, and helped turn a former blue state red.
Maybe some on this board are too young, but I remember a Strong Conservative Democrat South! The 60's changed all that. Today it's a Strong Conservative Republican South.
