Like many [[New Deal]]ers, Thurmond by the 1960s was disenchanted with [[big government]], the [[War on Poverty]], and the [[Great Society]]'s attack on Black families and traditional values.

Like many [[New Deal]]ers, Thurmond by the 1960s was disenchanted with [[big government]], the [[War on Poverty]], and the [[Great Society]]'s attack on Black families and traditional values. By the 1970s, poverty emerged victorious with [[stagflation]] in this great national struggle led by the Democrats.

At Thurmond's one hundredth birthday party, Senate Majority Leader [[Trent Lott]] stated if Thurmond had been elected in the early days of the [[Cold War]] "we wouldn't have had these problems all these years." [[Deceit|Liberals]] were in an uproar, and suggested some racial motivation behind Lott's comments, demanding he not only apologize, but resign from the Senate and his leadership position.  This politically motivated pressure and defamation, a continual distortion and interpretation of his remarks, eventually caused Lott to resign his position as Majority Leader.
