To conclude: conservatives were fighting for human rights LONG before the liberals ever were.

Did he mention democrats in his post? No he mentioned liberals, they are not one and the same. They were even less one and the same before the civil rights act was passed.

Liberals were the people fighting for womens rights/black rights etc. Equality of rights is one of the central tennants of liberalism, you can't really be a liberal without it.

The fact that you're talking about Republicans back when they were founded and Democrats in the '60's as if it was happening today doesn't really make sense for the point you're making.

Beat me to the punch :)
