Mon psykologen Gordon Hodson, som er forfatter til undersøgelsen, vil kalde Al Gore's fædrende ophav for "lavintelligent"?
It is easy to control the minds of a people. All
one has to do is change history by lying about the past. This is exactly what
has happened with the legacy of former Democratic U.S. Senator Al Gore, Sr. of
Tennessee - the father of our current vice president - and his mythical
"support" of civil rights.In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President
Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights
legislation. Fellow black Americans, let me set history straight. Al Gore, Sr.,
together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights
Act of 1964.Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the
House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the
Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the
Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of
Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the
Act.In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act,
President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their "overwhelming majority."
He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate
Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an Illinois Republican, collaborated with the
White House and the Senate leadership of both parties to draft acceptable
compromise amendments to end the southern Democrats' filibuster of the Act. It
was Dirksen who often took to the Senate floor to declare, "This is an idea
whose time has come. It will not be denied." Dirksen's greatest triumph earned
him the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP
Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his remarkable civil rights leadership.Inform yourself, so you can learn for yourself
about this important historical event. All official records about the Civil
Rights Act can be found in the June 1964 issues of Congressional
Quarterly.Al Gore, Sr. did not stop at simply voting against
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Congressional Quarterly reported that
Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an
amendment to say "in defiance of a court desegregation order, federal funds
could not be held from any school districts." Gore sought to take the teeth out
of the Act in the event it passed.Ostensibly, Senator Gore was "elated" at the idea
of young Al, Jr. going to school with black children. In reality, however, the
future vice president attended an elite private school.In the end, the Gore Amendment was defeated by a
vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, one of President Bill
Clinton's political mentors, was among the 23 southern Democratic senators and
only one Republican voting with Gore for this racist amendment.Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona
voted against the Civil Rights Act because he was afraid the nation would be
transformed into a "police state" as a result of some of its provisions. He did
not want to throw out the proverbial "baby with the bath water." History, of
course, labeled Goldwater a racist even though he voted against the Gore
Amendment - an amendment devised to continue school segregation. If anyone in
the Senate should be tagged as a racist, it should be those voting for the Gore
Amendment. Why didn't history record Al Gore, Sr. and the other southern
Democrats as racists?At least civil rights activist Andrew Young was
forthcoming about this oversight in his book An Easy Burden. Young wrote,
"The southern segregationists were all Democrats, and it was black
Republicans... who could effectively influence the appointment of federal judges
in the South." Young noted that the best civil rights judges were Republicans
appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower. Young admitted, "These judges are
among the many unsung heroes of the civil rights movement."History tends to unilaterally and falsely depict
Republicans as racists when southern Democrats truly deserved this title. We now
have southern Democrats as both President and Vice President. That would never
be the case without the power of the lie and the liberal news media to alter
people's impressions.Lies can enslave men, but the truth shall set them
free. I challenge you, the reader, to take the time to research the facts about
our past in publications like Congressional Quarterly and An Easy Burden.
Once you educate yourself, you can no longer be deceived by the fabulists. No
longer will you be "gored" by a lie.
