    I have seen no proof of that claim. I have seen the Republicans push for equal rights more than I've seen if from the Dems. When I say equal, I don't mean giving anyone preference over others. I've seen a lot of Democrats outed for treating women as subordinate.
    HR155 was introduced to protect those with disabilities (Rep. Sensenbrenner, F. James, [R-WI] We'll see if the Dems will allow it to go through. My guess is no.
    They also introduced a bill to protect people against anti-antisemitism although I don't think it's necessary. To me, you don't need laws to protect certain people. Simple laws to protect all people kind of covers it. I guess it doesn't hurt to spell it out for the dummies though.
    Don't kill a Jew
    Don't kill a black woman
    Don't kill a white child
    Don't kill a hermaphrodite
    Don't kill a disabled person
    Etc.
    Seems to me, don't kill anyone would cover it.

    The GOP does seem to focus a lot on abortion but then so does the Dems. There is middle ground but I don't think that either side will find it.

    If you treat everyone the same, most of these issues will be covered, and most already are. If you are talking about championing such fine works as HR 94, then yea, you are doing some important work that just couldn't happen without the Democrats.

    The ratio of support was equal on both sides. 20% of house Republicans voted against the Civil Rights act of 1964 and 22% of GOP Senators were against it. 37% of house Democrats voted against it and 31% of Dem Senators were opposed.

    As far as Johnson was involved, he voted against every single civil rights bill when he was a Congressman. I think that he changed his mind at some point but I suppose he took the reason to the grave.

    "I'll have them gingers voting Democratic for two hundred years." (had to re-arrange the letters on what he actually said. (because only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger.)
    • Allegedly said to two governors (whose names were not given) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to then-Air Force One steward Robert MacMillan. As quoted in Inside the White House (1996), by Ronald Kessler, New York: Simon and Schuster, p. 33.

    Yes, I know. They hold elected and appointed offices in the federal government and in other governments around the world.

    That's easy. I just ignore the press. I don't think of them as the enemy of the people, just the enemy of the truth. But that's what the people seem to want.

    More cartoons from the left. But what can you expect from those who rely on TPM, MM, CNN, MSNBC for fake news. Their performance during the Mueller witch hunt is exactly what the Russians were hoping for.

    Those who fear the press are themselves enemies of the people.

    Who fears the press ?? Trump mocks fake news constantly. He certainly doesn’t fear them. Are you Jim Acosta ??

    Exaggerated aggression and mendacity are true signs of fear.

    The Donald is a dumb, simple-minded guy who isn't able to handle truth.

    That’s hilarious. But it does describe Schiff-head and Swallwall.

    You can find out all about dishonesty and corruption plus DNC collusion with the Russians from pencil neck Schiff-head and Swallwall. They are the poster children for fake news. Why they don’t resign in shame is a mystery to anyone. Swallwall still believes that the moronic dossier is 100% true. What dishonest idiots these morons are.
