HOW THE CONFEDERATE FLAG FROM HISTORY HAS BEEN THE BANNER FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE STAIN THAT JUST WON’T WASH AWAY FROM THE LIKES OF SENATOR ROBERT BYRD A KU KLU KLA MEMBER NOTABLY IGNORED TO AL GORE SR AND A MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS VOTING AGAINST THE CIVIL ROGHTS ACT OF 1964 WHERE ALL SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST THE LEGISLATION–AND TO BILL CLINTON OF ARKANSAS THEN HONORING CONFEDERATE FLAG DAY–BUT THEN THE SAME FOLKS VOTE FOR THE SAME LEADERSHIP THAT FORCES THEM BACK INTO THE SAME YOKE

…….As governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton did not object to the observation of Confederate Flag Day, which is celebrated together with Arkansas Confederate History and Heritage Month and Confederate Memorial Day. Per state code, it is observed on the Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. . . . Clinton did not publicly object to Confederate Flag Day during his time as governor. The holiday is still being observed.”

Democrats in the south also resisted civil rights legislation. Al Gore Sr., Vice-President Al Gore’s father, was one of them. R.D. Davis writes in “Blacks ‘Gored’ By a Lie: Al Gore Sr. the GOP and the Civil Rights Act of 1964”:

“In a... speech to the NAACP [then] 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.

“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.”

Let’s not forget that the Democrat Party had a bona fide member of the Ku Klux Klan as its most senior member in the Senate. Robert Byrd of West Virginia served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010 as a Democrat.
