MLKing Jr and the Civil rights struggle against Democrats

Can we all remember on MLK's upcoming Birthday that he wanted people judged on their merits, not the color of their skin?

That what the Main stream Media and the Dems- same thing- call the "Conscience of the Senate" Sen. Byrd of W. Virgina was a Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan as late as 1948 and used the N word publicly in the late 70's. (with no repercussions)

That Pres. Clinton's hero and mentor Sen. Fulbright (who, by the way Wis. Sen. Joe McCarthy called"Senator Halfbright") and ALGORE's old Man, Sen. Gore participated in the longest recorded filibuster by Sen. Byrd AGAINST the 64 Civil rights Act and voted they all voted against it?

That what the Hilary Clinton campaign is doing to Obama right now with Pres. Clinton dropping the drug use bomb on Obama is a classic example of putting down "an uppity black" not unlike what the southern Democrats were doing to any black person who wanted to vote or run for office after the Civil war?

Subject: Martin Luther King's struggle was against Democrats

January 15, 2008

On this day in 1901, the Alabama Democratic Party called for a convention to write a new state constitution that would prohibit African-Americans from voting. Despite vocal opposition from Booker T. Washington and other Republican civil rights activists, the Democrat scam succeeded.
Democrats dominated Alabama's 1901 constitutional convention, and its chairman was a Democrat. In his opening address, he said: "If we would have white supremacy, we must establish it by law -- not by force or fraud... The negro is descended from a race lowest in intelligence and moral precepts of all the races of men."

Alabama's African-American citizens would not vote in appreciable numbers again until the 1950s.

It was a Republican federal judge, Frank Johnson, who in 1956 ruled in favor of Rosa Parks and who in 1965 ordered the Democrat governor, George Wallace, to permit Martin Luther King's voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery.

At the 2000 Republican National Convention, Condoleezza Rice said: "The first Republican I knew was my father and he is still the Republican I most admire. He joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did. My father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I."

Democrats want Americans to forget that Republicans supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act much more than did the Democrats.

Republicans today would benefit tremendously from appreciating the true heritage of our Grand Old Party. This Republican heritage article and others are available on the Grand Old Partisan blog each day celebrating 154 years of Republican heroes and heroics.
