Funny how Not. A. Single. Board. liberal. wants to touch that quote and what it means.
It means he was a foul mouthed Texan who, regardless of his crude beagle torturing demeanor, signed the Civil Rights Act.
"The most sweeping civil rights legislation passed by Congress since the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, the Civil Rights Act prohibited racial discrimination in employment and education and outlawed racial segregation in public places such as schools, buses, parks and swimming pools.
In addition, the bill laid important groundwork for a number of other pieces of legislation'including the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which set strict rules for protecting the right of African Americans to vote'that have since been used to enforce equal rights for women as well as all minorities and LGBTQ people"
