Biden Travels To Austin To Promote The Big Civil Rights Lie

Joe Biden started his nonsensical speech on Monday yelling and ended it with mumbling. Pretending he was a civil rights warrior from birth, he used the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library at the University of Texas in Austin as the backdrop for his first campaign speech for Harris.

With this speech, he is officially making politicalization of the US Supreme Court an election issue. Biden listed three ways he wants to change the court to ensure all its rulings are pre-approved by Democrats: 1) Eliminate immunity protections for past and sitting presidents so Democrats can harass past & future Republican presidents; 2) Install term limits which force justices off the court after 18 years; and 3) Create a White House committee to draft ethics rules in order to intimidate and terrorize justices. Pure theatre. Pure pandering to Biden’s and Harris’s Marxist base. Whoever wrote his speech has enough brains to know that it will take years and constitutional amendments to accomplish this ploy, if ever.

DEMOCRATS’ 60-YEAR LIE

For 60 years the Democrat Party, Democrat politicians and Big Media have been spreading a Big Fat Lie, claiming they were the champions of blacks who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This American visited the LBJ library in May 2017 to research the man I loathe due to his slaughter of 59,000+ Americans, mostly young, to feed his oversized ego. But, that is the subject for another time. Allow me to give Biden’s handlers and all Democrats a history lesson:

FOR A CENTURY, REPUBLICANS FOUGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS FOR BLACK AMERICANS

The record Senate filibuster of this watershed 1964 vote was organized by Democrat and Ku Klux Klan Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd (D-WV), (a man whom Joe Biden praised as his mentor and eulogized at his 2010 funeral), and J. William Fulbright (D-AR), (Bill Clinton’s mentor & long time friend). In all, 21 Democrat senators opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Republican Everett Dirksen broke the filibuster to get the legislation passed, as he had done with a similar civil rights bill in 1957. Dirksen received an accomplishment award from the NAACP for his efforts.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a turning point in US racial relations, but it was not the first. In fact, from 1866 to 1964 (98 years) there were 26 major civil rights votes. Republicans wrote and promoted civil rights in 96 percent of the votes. Democrats OPPOSED them in 80 percent of the votes.

FOR A CENTURY, DEMOCRATS FOUGHT AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS FOR BLACK AMERICANS

Since its founding in 1829, the Democrat Party has fought against every bill, every program, every idea to improve life for slaves and former slaves (AKA freedmen). Indeed, Democrats have a long history of discrimination against all “non-white” people. The Democrat Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, passed & enforced Jim Crow laws, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1870, 1871, 1875, 1883, 1957, 1964, 1968, as well as the Voting Rights Act of 1965. ALL civil rights bills were written by and promoted by Republicans.

In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party.  Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the ultimate goal of permanently abolishing it throughout America.  The GOP mission was accomplished in barely nine years thanks to great sacrifices by SO MANY that believed slavery was wrong.  Although slavery was gone, much work was left to be done to ensure that former slaves could fully exercise their constitutional rights.  This work, however, was dealt a major blow by the assassination of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, which placed a Democrat, Andrew Johnson, in the White House.  During the following 100 years, Republicans proposed each & every civil rights legislation.  Some were blocked by Democrats, some were passed over Democrat opposition.

The Democrat Party, including President Andrew Johnson, were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment (1865), which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment (1868), which gave former slaves citizenship; and the 15th Amendment (1870), which gave African Americans voting rights.  All three were proposed by Republicans and passed only because of universal GOP support.  Ulysses S. Grant, the second Republican president, sent federal troops to the south to secure constitutional rights for the newly freed slaves.
