One quibble with this.

LBJ was ALWAYS a shitbag to his dying day. I've always believed he was involved in the palace coup that splattered Jack Kennedy's brains all over downtown Dallas. As for his action on civil rights? It was a cynical political ploy.... Even though Kit disputes this, many reputable and credible sources have Lyin'-Ass Lyndon making the following statement after he signed the civil rights acts into law.... "I'll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years." (We won't go into how his "Great Society" condemned generations of Black Americans to welfare dependency and destroyed the Black family....which we've gone over in the past and requires a whole 'nuther thread....) Sleeps by day....rides by night, like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight.....
