As I stated, I think that a number of accomplishments during the LBJ administration have had a lasting positive impact. I named several of them, obviously pointing out that I think they had a lasting positive impact. As for the Civil Rights Act, I agree that it was a complicated situation and was championed by NE Republicans and opposed by Southern Democrats. You'll notice that soon after it's passage, Democrats largely went away in the South and Republicans largely went away in New England, substantially switching around the political demographics for a couple generations and, perhaps most germane to this discussion, enabling Regan and the Southern Strategy that was used successfully by a number of Republicans since.
As for the rest of your blather, it is just that. I still stand my my statement that the record of positive accomplishment by LBJ substantially surpasses that of Regan. Regardless, I did not enter this discussion to praise LBJ but rather point out that the continuing hagiography of Regan is sorely misguided and historically laughable.
