LBJ's "Comeback" | National Catholic Reporter

LBJ's "Comeback" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: This article, as well as some TV retrospectives on cable news (specifically MSNBC) come as we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of LBJ signing the Civil Rights Act (which some libertarians still disagree with on public accommodations - not realizing that state violence is necessary to enforce denials of service by private entitites).  Of note is the fact that he knew this would cost the Democrats the South.  Our current politics is an echo of this most necessary action - including the immigration debate which the GOP obstructs to keep alive on its own terms.  This is also about race and civil rights.
