Toad: and the President of what party sent troops to Little Rock to enforce intergration laws?

To paint the Republican Party as a party of racists is flat wrong. LBJ never could have got his Civil Rights legislation in 1964 WITHOUT the support of the Republicans. You know that Toad. The moderate and liberal wing of the party supported Civil Rights legislation heavily. Goldwater and the few conservative Republicans in the congress at the time opposed it, but not on racial grounds. They believed that it was contrary to the Constitution. That the federal government was usurping rights reserved to the states. You know that too, I'm sure!
