principles?

I looked for kewords liberal, communist, conservative, and state-rights. This is what I got just from one speech.

DOES HE SOUND LIKE A PRO-DIVERSITY LIBERAL OR A STATE RIGHTS CONSERVATIVE?

"It is a system that is the very opposite of Christ for it feeds and encourages everything degenerate and base in our people as it assumes the responsibilities that we ourselves should assume. Its psuedo-liberal spokesmen and some Harvard advocates have never examined the logic of its substitution of what it calls "human rights" for individual rights, for its propaganda play on words has appeal for the unthinking."

"Today that same system on an international scale is sweeping the world. It is the "changing world" of which we are told . . . it is called "new" and "liberal". It is as old as the oldest dictator. It is degenerate and decadent. As the national racism of Hitler's Germany persecuted a national minority to the whim of a national majority . . . so the international racism of the liberals seek to persecute the international white minority to the whim of the international colored majority . . . so that we are footballed about according to the favor of the Afro-Asian bloc.

"This nation was never meant to be a unit of one . . . but a united of the many . . . . that is the exact reason our freedom loving forefathers established the states, so as to divide the rights and powers among the states, insuring that no central power could gain master government control."

"This is the great freedom of our American founding fathers . . . but if we amalgamate into the one unit as advocated by the communist philosophers . . then the enrichment of our lives . . . the freedom for our development . . . is gone forever. We become, therefore, a mongrel unit of one under a single all powerful government . . . and we stand for everything . . . and for nothing."

Chi guy,

Liberal Republicans along with liberal Democrats were marching with MLK Jr.

Get informed.

"The war has strengthened domestic reaction. It has given the extreme right, the anti-labor, anti-*****, and anti-humanistic forces a weapon of spurious patriotism to galvanize its supporters into reaching for power, right up to the White House. It hopes to use national frustration to take control and restore the America of social insecurity and power for the privileged. When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events."

Yo Itsme,

Actually, once the national Democratic Party decided to support civil rights, George Wallace left the party and ran as an independent.

Chi Guy is right. How else does it go from the party of Lincoln to the party that pandered to racists in 70's and the 80's. I would suggest that LBJ also had the support of a significant number Democrats as well as Repubs. The political turmoil of the '60s stressed the Democratic Party and in 64 - 65 the Jacksonian block finally broke.

Wallace was the Democratic Governor of Alabama. He and the "Dixiecrats" were supporters of the Jim Crow laws. He ran for president as an Independent.

At that time, Republicans were marching with MLK and fighting for Civil Rights. They set the platform that empowered LBJ (Democrat) to sign the Voter Rights Act into law. This dismayed the Dixiecrats so they eventually left the Dem party and took over the southern region of the Republican Party.

This along with the Vietnam War moved people out of the Dem party and into the Republican Party. Thus, the birth of the neo-conservative. Eventually the neo-conservative ideology spread within the Republican party to the dismay of true conservatives. Yet true conservatives felt obligated to support anyone calling themselves Republican even though their policies were anything but conservative.

edit: Explain how my stating that Republicans marched with MLK is ill-informed? The topic was George Wallace (Democrat). I've explained whose side he was on and who opposed him in Alabama. Dems in Alabama were FOR segregation while the Repubs were against it.

Actually, anybody who knows anything about Alabama knows that government during that period was actually very statist in nature in regards to taxation, economic growth, education, you name it.

Here's what people NOT from Alabama don't understand. The state was the private domain of the Democratic Party for 100 years, and look what a mess we were. Once we started electing Republican officials, suddenly we began making economic progress. Now, Alabama is about to pass Michigan in per capita income, and has a growth rate roughly twice the national average.

He was very conservative, he was also old school and a racist by birth and circumstance.
