President Lyndon Johnson – Speech on Voting Rights
July 5, 2010 - 9:09 am

Johnson states that every man should have the right to vote and that the civil rights problems challenge the entire country, not one region or group. The President asks Congress to help him pass legislation that dictates clear, uniform guidelines for voting regardless of race or ethnicity and that allows all citizens to register to vote free from harassment.

@lovebaybee91 arther1046 : “trust me, u r naive” arthur1046 belongs to the Communist supported, Leftist Criminal Community of Researchers in the cottage JFK con spiracy hoaxing industry. I’ve learned he makes $2 a post to keep the sheeple distrusting the USG & thereby supporting our enemys during a time of war. Thats treason by way of sedition. He’s also currently active in the ‘Hatriot’ movement : watch?v=ZzlzeJ4igmE

@lovebaybee91 “and trust me,JFK’s murder kept him out of prison, for crimes”
Billie Sol Estes said LBJ employed Mac Wallace to shoot JFK from Oz’s 6th TSBD!
“Just to clarify this proved to be an erroneous identification (by Darby of TMWKK) Wallace is not tied to the ‘snipers nest’ by fingerprints , Darby is either deceased or is no longer certified by the IAI , the match was incorrect”

@arther1046 “Want to listen to him say he was involved in the murder of the Diem on Nov 1-63, just 21 days before JFKs murder?” LBJ as VP had no power to assassinate anybody. LBJ’s WH Tapes confirm he said the Kennedys were running a murder inc. LBJ was VP & part of the K-Admin. (“we”) . JFK’s 1st priority was the assassin’ of PM Lumumba of the Congo, Pres. Trujillo of the Dom. Rep. & Premier Diem of SV (NOT “PRESIDENT OF VN” arthur1046 !)

arther1046 “Did u know LBJ was involved in murders, including that of JFK?”
Billie Sol Estes twice convicted felon & compulsive swindler admits to a Fed. judge when sentenced (79) “I have a problem I live in a dream world”. By accusing LBJ of murdering JFK (See ‘Malcome Wallace’ Hoax) Estes was only interested in getting a FBI interview for publicity for his book ‘Billy Sole’ was due out. When the FBI sought a 2nd interview Estes begged off.

He could have been the best president that ever lived, if it wasnt for the Vietnam war

@lovebaybee91 Yes, …
@lovebaybee91 Yes, you certainly are majoring in Lies, and trust me, you are naive.
-
Did you know LBJ was involved in murders, including that of JFK?
Do you want to listen to him say he was involved in the murder of the President of Vietnam on Nov 1-63, just 21 days before JFKs murder?
-
Hear him on Youtube video: LBJ Admits Murder of Diem
He says “we” 3 times. How many times should LBJ say “we” before you believe he was involved in the murder?
JFK’s murder kept him out of prison, for crimes.

He may have been …
He may have been ruthless (people, politics is the dirtiest game in town!!), but this speech was monumental and one had to be ruthless to be able to successfully deliver it in those times. And to quote Nikoli Tesla:
”Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter.
When they separate, man is no more.”

Dear lovebaybee91, …
Dear lovebaybee91, I say again, Johnson was a conniving, double dealing, master politician, who would stop at NOTHING to win. Yes, he did some great, transformational things on behalf of civil rights for americans, but got the U.S. deeper into Vietnam, and it is debatable whether or not other presidents before him would have sunk our nation into the morass of that conflict, and lied as much during the process. I grant that the U.S. was deep into the Cold War and that others may have done same.

@WHP1959 I am majoring in history and trust me there are other forces that made LBJ send troops to Vietnam. Look at the previous 2 president’s policies on communism and containment.

We speak of the ” …
We speak of the “vicious cycle” for the poor–look no further than policies implemented to help them through incentives to remain poor, to remain unwed and have child, to remain dependent on government subsidies. Minorities are as poverty-stricken today as they were back then; its a shame so many fall for political rhetoric without actually opening their eyes to the economic consequences. Try the book “Losing Ground”–yet most people that fall for this rhetoric probably don’t read

@TheLastNaturalist …
@TheLastNaturalist I agree with everything in this comment of yours. I wish there were more moderates who understood that pragmatism and idealism aren’t contradictory. One is a guiding light, the other a tool of accomplishing something.

I’ve been reading Robert Caro’s book Master of the Senate about LBJ. While I share the admiration of many here, he was something of a sunuvabitch. He would also do w/e it took to gain power. Amazingly, once he got power…he did the right thing so often.

A scheming, …
A scheming, conniving, double dealing master politician, who would stop at nothing to win, who ushered transformational uplifting legislation, only to fall into a tragic course in Vietnam, costing our nation much blood and treasure, for ultimately, nothing.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:09 am
What happened to …
What happened to Jack and Bobby Kennedy were tragedies that I wish had been averted, but civil rights legislation was much better off in the hands of Johnson. And I’m not convinced the Vietnam meat grinder would have been much less protracted under JFK, who was more hawkish than many would like to remember.

Another reason why I’ll always be a Johnson Democrat – pragmatic yet idealistic, liberal ends through conservative means. The master of the Senate, indeed. With the Presidency, only foreign policy brought him down.
