Truth about bias

Liberals are quick to say that the Democratic party is the "party of women/minorities/poor, etc."

Let's talk about that. (Props again to Pastor Haden for that catch phrase)



Women's rights:
Once referred to as "Women's Suffrage" - it was the Republican party that overwhelmingly voted to enact measures such as right to vote, as well as getting the 19th Amendment going.

Democrats filibustered the move!


Minorities rights:
Again, Republicans were more heavily in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than were Democrats. Some try to say that the so-called "Southern Democrats" of the day were what Republicans are now. Not true - the main Southern Democrats that were against civil rights were Robert Byrd and Al Gore, Sr. Neither of which is anywhere near conservative.

The fact that Kennedy was in favor of the measure was a point of conflict within his own party!

Also, Martin Luther King, Jr. was Republican!


Poor:
Democrats and liberals espouse programs like welfare, WIC, and others. They claim it is to help those in need. While that might be the goal of a minute minority of them, those social programs only serve to keep poor people poor and dependent on the government. This is why we get vicious cycles of dependency, and welfare generations.
