Can you say, "Delusional"?
Republicans have released the 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar. From their website:
The History of the Republican Party is as remarkable as it is untold. In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Republican Party, the Republican Policy Committee has produced the 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar, to put some of the many important Republican achievements in advancing civil rights before today's students, families, and citizens from all walks of life who wish to be better informed about our national heritage
I can't find the words to describe how appalled I am. I do have an idea however. We need to create our own "Republican Freedom Calendar" and mark dates in it that show the true Republican attitude toward Civil Rights. For instance, the date Dick Cheney voted against making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday would be marked. Also, the day Ronald Reagan, during his run for governor, endorsed the repeal of California's Fair Housing Act, saying, "If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so." should also be recognized. Who's with me? Send me your great dates in Republican Civil Rights history and we'll put together a REAL calendar.
