You say that like you're glad we made progress, while everyone knows that had you been around in the 60's, you'd be one of those yelling loudest that MLK was a communist. Our country has made progress with civil rights despite the efforts of people of your political ilk.

It's 10:00 a.m. I'll be sober for at least another hour and a half.
I"m sure that in hindsight, Tex and yourself would grudgingly admit that the civil rights movement was a good thing. But it's not a secret that the movement succeeded despite the best efforts of people with whom you align yourself politically. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is often bitter.

I have been far less sparing in my comments about his self-appointed successors in the movement, however. |

Forty years ago, people on the far right, who were otherwise good people, were decrying the civil rights movement as the greatest threat to our country next to communism. Hell, even Ezra Taft Benson campaigned for George Wallace. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see you as part of the crowd that marched on Selma.

So, it was just the southern democrats who thought MLK was a communist?

What I do know is how I feel about the issue now. And anyway, given that I have been told more than once that I would've murdered those Arkansans at Mountain Meadows, your racist accusations are a little tame anyway. You haven't lived until you've accused me of being a murderer. Nice try though, seq.
