The black civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s helped put an end to Jim Crow laws and related customs that had been in place for decades in the South.

 

But Barack Obama was not part of the black civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, because he was not even born until 1961. Nevertheless, because he happens to be an African American, conservatives launched an enormous negative campaign against him, as Bill Press has documented in his book.

 

The women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s (also known as second-wave feminism) helped change the roles of women in American culture.

 

Now, Hillary was a Goldwater Girl in high school. But then in college she became an anti-war protester protesting against the Vietnam War. In addition, she became a feminist. As everybody knows, she famously married a liberal, who subsequently became president of the United States.

 

Now, conservative Republicans like to denounce certain other Republicans as RINOs (Republicans in name only).

 

But Hillary is far worse than a RINO -- she is a traitor because she went from being a conservative Goldwater Girl in high school to being a liberal.

 

Besides that, she is also a woman and a feminist and an antiwar protester, and she's still married to a liberal former president of the United States.

 

So she pushes more buttons in the conservative psyche than most white male presidential candidates would.

He is the proud author of the book (more...)
