    No, obviously it would fit YOUR simple mind to pretend that there were different motives between Dixiecrats and Dixiereps. What a load of horseshit. I purposely left off the Northern votes for a good reason, just to see if you'd try some weasel words to justify what happened. So according to you, the Northern Republicans were unprincipled louts who shit on State rights because, just like the Northern Democrats, most of them voted for the Act, which is the only reason it passed.

    This was clearly far more a North-South division than a Democrat-Republican division. It was the Jim Crow states versus the states that had moved past that racist crap. Only a truly simple mind like yours would try to turn it into some party-line nonsense.

    "States rights" is just code for "keep 'em in their place." Everybody but you former(?) Confederates have figured that out.

    "States Rights" is code to leave the racist Northern Democratic cities and go to the New South.

    WASHINGTON — The percentage of the nation’s black population living in the South has hit its highest point in half a century, according to census data released Thursday, as younger and more educated black residents move out of declining cities in the Northeast and Midwest in search of better opportunities.

    The Rev. Ronald Peters, above, who moved last year from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, said the black middle class was more hopeful in the South than in the Northeast.

    Both Michigan and Illinois, whose cities have rich black cultural traditions, showed an overall loss of blacks for the first time, said William Frey, the chief demographer at the Brookings Institution.

    “The notion of the North and its cities as the promised land has been a powerful part of African-American life, culture and history, and now it all seems to be passing by,” said Clement Price, a professor of history at Rutgers-Newark. “The black urban experience has essentially lost its appeal with blacks in America.”

    “This is the decade of black flight,” said Mr. Frey. “It’s a new age for African-Americans. It’s long overdue, but it seems to be happening.”

    The Rev. Ronald Peters, who moved last year from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, said it was refreshing to be part of a hopeful black middle class that was not weighed down by the stigmas and stereotypes of the past, as he felt it was in the urban Northeast.

    Increasingly blacks are moving to places with small black populations. Just 2 percent of the black population growth in the last decade occurred in counties that have traditionally been black population centers, while 20 percent has occurred in counties where only a tiny fraction of the population had been black.

    Segregation declined during the decade. Among the nation’s 100 largest metro areas, 92 showed segregation declines with most of the largest occurring in growing areas in the South and West, Mr. Frey said.

    Northern blacks were a big part of Southern gains. There are now more than one million black residents of the South who were born in the Northeast, a tenfold increase since 1970.

    Cicely Bland, 36, a publishing company owner who left her home in Jersey City in 2006 for Stockbridge, an Atlanta suburb, said life was better because it was more affordable. Her choice was as much about cultural affinity as it was job opportunities.

    “The business and political opportunities are here,” she said. “You have a lot of African-Americans with a lot of influence, and they’re in my immediate networks.”

    In Atlanta, Mr. Peters, who grew up in New Orleans, viewed the changes as a source of pride for Americans, saying the South had changed a lot in his lifetime.

    “One of the things that I grew up with was looking forward to the day that there would be a New South,” he said. “This is it. The New South represents a more inclusive community, what we can become as a country.”

    government's reason to exist is tot protect its people

    See Rossau's social contract...

    The social contract is an intellectual device intended to explain the appropriate relationship between individuals and their governments. Social contract arguments assert that individuals unite into political societies by a process of mutual consent, agreeing to abide by common rules and accept corresponding duties to protect themselves and one another from violence and other kinds of harm.[citation needed] -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract

    So the issue of the unborn is whether the womans right to kill is stronger than her childs right to be live.

    Abortion is about the conflict of two basic human and humans rights. Its not one sided like you claim. You can be for small govt which still protects its people. That is the basic point of govt.
