Question about LBJ - did he or did he NOT say words to the effect of ... 'this will have the n----s voting Democrat for the next 100 years ...' I have read conflicting info on that quote. ------------------------------------ Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Who cares and what does it have to do with the subject of this thread? You aren't even comfortable typing out his actual words, so don't bother. GCA '68 is the subject | |||

Correct, and none of us should ever forget it. It’s easy to laugh at the efforts stirred up by the Las Vegas event today because they’re unlikely to come to fruition this time, but things aren’t always so rosy at the state level. I’m pretty confident, for example, that LV killed any real chance of overturning Colorado’s magazine restriction law. And what’s more, of course, the left isn’t always going to be in a minority law-making position. I might not live or be a gun owner long enough for the next major assault on our rights to matter to me, but most of the members here will. Fight the barbarians in the fields and when they’re weak, or fight them when they’re strong and battering down the gates. ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

LBJ was absolutely crimminally corrupt. H solicited a bribe while state senator from my father to install mechanical gates on state land. My father declined.

I care so I asked. Related to LBJ and his abysmal record as President. They are part and parcel of a large big-government effort to control daily life in America. Thought some more researched than me might know. And no - I am not 'typing out his actual words' on your board. There are other words I won't type out either out of some level of decorum. --------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

When Johnson became President, virtually every office in the south was held by a Democrat. John Tower won Johnson's Senate seat and the South began to rise again, now virtually all Republican. Nice going, Lyndon. You got 90% of 13%, and lost 50% of 80% with your socialist hellhole society. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

If you don't feel comfortable even typing out the words, there's no point in attempting to discuss it. 'Decorum' is not a couple of asterisks. | |||

This, was in fact, his greatest accomplishment, the total destruction of a race without genocide. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Who is he speaking to here that is dumb enough to believe criminals are going to register their guns? Just another way to control the law biding citizen. | |||

Not just the black family, good sir. He, and the rest of the Marxist ilk, saw the breakdown of the family as a means to an end and went about it with the pedal to the floor. 50+ years (more like 70 since the Frankfurt boys and Alinsky got going) later, we see the results. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

He seemed a little TOO eager and prepared to take that (later to be proven unnecessary) oath of office on AF1 right after Kennedy's brains got blown out. | |||

Nonsense. Calvin Coolidge was awakened in the middle of the night to be sworn in by a notary, his dad. Teddy Roosevelt took the oath twice, to make sure the first one was effective. Truman was summoned to the White House immediately to take the oath. Whether it is strictly necessary, it is certainly usual and customary, and puts the kibosh on doubt and uncertainty, and claims thereof. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

IIRC some years ago there was a deathbed confession. A fellow said he was the TX election official who certified phony ballots in 1948(?) for LBJ to win the election to the Senate. If there were a way to get to the complete truth, I wonder which presidency in US history would be the most corrupt. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

There was a book written back in 1964, entitled " A Texan looks at Lyndon". I read it when it came out and it is filled with all kinds of facts about the Johnson's criminal behavior and how they manipulated the system. I did a search and the book (paper back) is available from more than one source. Should prove to be interesting reading for those who have not already done so.

You might start looking in the fiction sections of the book stores. If you want a more accurate detailed understanding of Johnson, the Robert Caro 4 volume set is generally regarded as the most complete, accurate, etc. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

In 1964 I was in 4th grade and having watched the Kennedy assassination and his assumption of power and the awful decisions he made - including civil rights through ramping up VN, I had a visceral hatred for him. Reading about him later only solidified my opinion. Sitting on the hopper while chewing out a General in person says all one needs to know about that POS. | |||

Every word of that needs to be burned into memory and recalled when those on the left start calling for just a little compromise and to give just a little more ground. Not. One. Inch. Even when those who are supposed to be on our side call for it, always remember it will never be enough. Never again, not one inch. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
Let’s not just allude to the quote, here is what he said... “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” ~ Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One And a bonus LBJ quote... “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.” Say what you want, he seems to have known his stuff. From slaves on the farms to slaves of the public trough. A shame that the majority can’t see it for what it is. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

I think he may have had Kennedy offed in order to take over the job. | |||
