Okay. Let's flip this over and think that this could as easily be Hillary supporters trying to sway voters. Never look at something from just one angle before making a decision. On the other hand, it could be Trump supporters. We may never know.

SSG (Join to see) that was my first assumption. Why would Trump supporters who wanted blacks to vote for trump, vandalize a 'black church' with "Vote Trump" and set it on fire? Last I checked that was a democrat tactic. Seems a lot less logical, than the Democrats doing it so they can have another fake story to spread their hate and fear.

Too all of the conservatives who mention that it was the Democratic party to which most KKK members belonged, you should consider that back then (until the early 1960s) that the Democrats were the conservatives and the Republicans the liberals.

Sadly for your current line of reasoning, the two major parties switched places over the last 50 years, with the Southern Racists, misogynists, ultra-religious conservatives now belonging almost exclusively to the GOP.

Sir, with all do respect, which party is opposed to straight rights? I'm not opposed to gay rights, in fact, I follow Milo Yiannopoulos and think he hits every one of your democrat talking points on the head. I don't think the government should be involved in any marriage, gay, straight, or otherwise. I think that if you want to be gay, that is your right. I think that if you want to get married as a gay person, if your religion approves, and is willing go ahead. What I don't believe in is oppression of the religious beliefs of others. I don't think a gay person has a right to force a church to change their teachings, or force an religious institution to perform rituals that do not go along with their religious practices.

I am firmly in support of Equal Pay for women, and I am glad you brought it up. I think that every person white, black, hispanic, latino, asian, straight, gay, male or female should be paid based on their qualifications for the position, not based on any of the aforementioned characteristics. I don't think that creating a false perception of inequal pay by claiming that in their lifetime a woman makes less money than a man, constitutes a need for legal change. I do believe that when looking at those statistics, one has to segregate the external variables included in that data, such as the fact that women are less likely to take high paying careers, more likely to spend less of their lifetime working due to the fact that they are more likely to quit work to care for the children, etc. I don't think that anyone deserves to be compensated at a higher rate because of any superficial characteristic and that everyone should be paid based on their qualifications and their work.

Reproductive choices, has been branded a religious issue, that does not make it one. The foundational principal in our constitution is that everyone has a right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No right is valid without life. I chose, as many others do, that unborn children have a right-to-life that supersedes a woman's right to choose. That has little to do with my religious beliefs and everything to do with my belief that that child is a CHILD. I would no more condone the killing of an unborn child, than I would the killing of a toddler. So again, as Republicans we're choosing to stand up for the civil rights, only this time, it is the civil rights of the child.

Regardless of all of that, to equate any of these principles with the civil rights movement is ludicrous. What you are doing is like comparing 1st wave feminism with modern feminism. 1st wave feminism was a legitimate cause for women's rights. It was supporting people who were legitimately oppressed, and it fought for EQUALITY. Modern feminism, is misandry, which seeks to promote female superiority over men, not equality. Unborn children are legitimately oppressed, being killed unjustly by the millions. So like always, we stand up for them and their rights.

The parties today differ widely because your party believes in equal outcome, not equal opportunity.

As for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it was introduced by LBJ, and was highly opposed by Democrats in both the House and Senate and passed because of over 80% Republican support.

SPC(P) (Join to see) - Straight rights? Wow, that is crazy.

I'm not aware of any problem straight people have had with being fired from jobs because of their sexual orientation, or that they were ever not allowed to marry because they weren't gay.

As for the Civil Rights Act, that is early in the switch, when most Democrats were still conservative and most Republicans were still progressive.

Because leftists and super progressives have never committed self harm, but blame other to push their agenda. Oh wait, it happens all the time. There is no real proof Trump voters did this, but there is a lot of video proof of Hillary and Sanders supporters assaulting and stealing from Trump supporters in public.
