Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 07:42 PM by usregimechange
Several local bigots are saying how lesbians and gays are imposing their agendas on the rest of the country by seeking equal treatment under the law. Anyone have a quote of a racist or sexist saying the same thing? Thanks...

7. Isn't there something intrinsically, well, INTERESTING, about a guy named "Buttars"
being obsessively antigay?

5. This might point you in the right direction:
The Segregationists’ Arguments

The case for the defenders of segregation rested on four arguments:

* The Constitution did not require white and African American children to attend the same schools.
* Social separation of blacks and whites was a regional custom; the states should be left free to regulate their own social affairs.
* Segregation was not harmful to black people.
* Whites were making a good faith effort to equalize the two educational systems. But because black children were still living with the effects of slavery, it would take some time before they were able to compete with white children in the same classroom.

The Defenders of Segregation

In defense of segregation, South Carolina gathered a team of lawyers that included the state’s top legal officers, headed by one of the most respected constitutional lawyers in the country. Kansas sent a lone reluctant young assistant attorney general.

6. here are some from George Wallace
It is very appropriate that from this cradle of the Confederacy, this very heart of the great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us time and again down through history. Let us rise to the call for freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the South. In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.


The unwelcomed, unwanted, unwarranted, and force-induced intrusion upon the campus of the University of Alabama today of the might of the central government offers frightful example of the oppression of the rights, privileges and sovereignty of this state by officers of the federal government.


This civil rights bill will wind up putting a homeowner in jail because he doesn’t sell his home to someone that some bureaucrat thinks he ought to sell it to. My friends, a man’s home is his castle…and he ought to be able to sell it to people with blue eyes and green teeth if he wants to; it’s his home.
