Your point? How was democracy threatened by the Civil Rights Act, aside from moving millions of Dixiecrats to the Republican Party? In case you've been asleep the last thirty years, they're the threat to democracy. Sorry champ but the days are long gone when you can just mumble "freedom" and stop any argument. The CRA enhanced democracy because prior to it a black person voting put himself into mortal danger by doing so in much of the south.

Surveillance state. Melodrama much? Suppression of racist "free speech?" Who cares? If anyone wants my opinion, Americans are doing a pretty goddamn lousy job with their precious freedom.
