Quick, Repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is one of the most pernicious in American history. It destroys freedom of association, subjects our private relationships to bureaucratic judgment and meddling, and substitutes the totalitarian credo of ‘civil rights’ for the freedom from government Americans previously espoused.
No wonder the left loves it. This legislation is Progressives’ Bible and Psalter in one convenient package, the inspiration for much of their mischief.
So I was staggered to read that the radical left – not your average Marxist on Medicaid but the sexual deviants, feminists, ‘social activists’ and ‘advocates,’ Congressional Dimocrats, and other misfits with too much time on their hands – has excoriated the Civil Rights Act. Damned it, in fact.
What inspired this astounding about-face? The ‘Russell Amendment’ to the NDAA.
The National Defense Authorization Act is as monstrous as the civil-rights one, which doubtless explains its gliding through Congress the last 54 years. This baby annually finances ‘our’ troops – you know, the gullible, unemployed and unemployable, barely literate cannon fodder the government’s schools spew that the government’s ‘armed forces’ then prey on – sorry, ‘recruit.’ I haven’t surveyed all 54 Congresses that have overwhelmingly passed the NDAA, but I bet few criminals there ever dare vote ‘Nay’ lest the parents, friends and neighbors of said cannon-fodder accuse them of not ‘supporting’ ‘our’ hired killers.
