Trent Lott (left), seen here with his kissing cousin (right), has no problem sending a disproportionate number of racial minorities to fight his
wars. On the other hand, none of this might be necessary if racist Strom Thurmond had been elected President in 948. |
What can we say about good old Trent Lott? If only they were all this honest. Let's let the man speak for himself.
- "I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."
Trent Lott, December 5, 2002, referring to Strom Thurmond's 1948 presidential bid.
- "We stand for the segregation of the races and racial integrity of each race; the constitutional right to choose one's associates; to accept private employment without governmental interference, and to earn one's living in any lawful way. We oppose the elimination of segregation, the repeal of miscegenation statutes, the control of private employment by the Federal bureaucrats called for by the misnamed civil rights program. We favor home-rule, local self-government and a minimum interference with individual rights.
- "We oppose and condemn the action of the Democratic Convention in sponsoring a civil rights program calling for the elimination of segregation, social equality by Federal fiatt, regulations of private employment practices, voting and local law enforcement.
- "We believe that the effective enforcement of such a program would be utterly destructive of the social, economic and political life of the Southern people, and of other localities in which there may be differences in race, creed or national origin in appreciable numbers."
