Hundreds of Armed Right-Wing Militia Members Take Over Federal Building

However, the same culprit who drives off in another's car without permission and takes it across the country probably demonstrates a specific intent to permanently deprive the owner of the car and would be guilty of the more serious crime of car theft.

So now you are going to ignore the Oregon law?

If someone has not returned the car when they are arrested, how do you know they were intending to return it?

Failing to return the car shows intent under your quote. Being arrested before returning to the car meets that standard.

and Lyndon Johnson who , as president said>
"Im gonna fight the Civil Rights Act- right up till the day I sign it"

Strange h0w some people wish to rewrite not only the laws but history such as LBJ getting the most civil right laws on the books then any other president in history.

Of course a white southern Texan president doing so do not fit into some racist blacks world views too well.

If you knew LBJ's history, Bill, then you would know what I said is right.

It hard in fact very hard to rewrite history when you are dealing with a person who live through that period in time.

Kind of making the job of portraying him as a good old southern boy amusingly hard

Do you claim to know LBJ's history with the Dixiecrats? If so, are you denying that LBJ fully supported and co-operated with them while in the senate?

LOL it is once more true that LBJ had placed on the law books more civil right laws and voting rights laws then any other president in history.

I do not care or know if he needed or not to play racial politics as a senator or not.

Now do you care to retract your charge that I was attempting to "rewrite history?"

Hell no

For two decades in Congress Johnson was a reliable member of the Southern bloc, helping to stonewall civil rights legislation, such as anti-lynching bills.

Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “nigger” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, nigger, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”

"During his first 20 years in Congress," Obama said, "he opposed every civil rights bill that came up for a vote, once calling the push for federal legislation a farce and a shame."

In his 1948 speech in Austin kicking off his Senate campaign, Johnson declared he was against Truman’s attempt to end the poll tax because, Johnson said, "it is the province of the state to run its own elections." Johnson also was against proposals against lynching.
