Again, Robert Byrd acknowledged the error of his ways, repudiated his past wrongs, and changed his ways and is today a respected member of the Democratic party.
Everett Dirksen was a LIBERAL Republican.
Today, he would be ridiculed as a RINO and forced, like so many others of his contemporaries, to quit the party he would no longer recognize and become a Democrat.
Democrats applaud the liberal Republicans of the past such as Lincoln, trust-buster Teddy Roosevelt and Everett Dirksen and, in some areas, Eisenhower. None of these heroes would be welcome in the tea party of today.
Shall we start a list of those Southern Democrats who followed the lead of Strom Thurmond and quit the Democratic Party on the issue of race and race alone, to be welcomed into the warm embrace of racist Republicans.
Do you really not know this?
