  1. George Wallace was a …. Democrat!
    As many have already pointed out, the southern Democrat still harbours resentment toward the Republicans who were, in fact, the party that freed the slaves.
    Democrats also speak for the Socialist International constituency … Big Labour and all manner of utopian totalitarians.
    The individual, of course, is too stupid to make day-to-day decisions for himself, much less having a vote.
    That’s why we need the nanny state.
    And, the reason the Pilgrims came to America in the first place was because of the superior social programs they could find here.

  2. While we are on the topic of History; giving the Union side of the Civil War too much credit for being ‘morally pure’ is a mistake. The North wanted all raw material produced in the South shipped to Northern Mills (England had been purchasing raw cotton at a better price) to be processed – processed by ‘wage slaves’ (mostly Irish and Scottish people who had been forced out of their own countries by starvation); the mills did not ‘own’ their slaves by buying them but they were economically owned: they lived in Co housing and bought at the Co. store.
    Most Confederate soldiers were not slave owners and most did not fight for rights for slave owners, most fought for states rights and for their families. Many of the Union soldiers were new immigrants who were bought by a Northern man who didn’t want to fight (there was a draft in both North and South). For both of the above reasons the war lasted much longer than it ever should have – it brought the new Republic almost to it’s knees and American people lost many of the individual rights that had been guaranteed by the founders of the Republic in 1789.
    The Civil War, IMO, was the most horrendous set back the United States of America ever jumped into – it destroyed the south and it divided the nation. If cooler heads (like that of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Lee) had prevailed things could have been ironed out – slavery was on the way out in the South (the Cotton Gin had had a major impact) – people did not want to own other people in a prosperous society. The burden of guilt and responsibility for so many souls was worming into the southern conscience and it was only a matter of a few years before the South would have unburdened it’s citizens by making slavery illegal. People in the South would have been forced to be responsible for educating their former slaves so they would have become responsible independant citizens – men ex slaves likely would not have had the vote right away (probably before women got the vote though!) but the ex slaves would have never suffered the humiliation of being freed by an army that didn’t have any respect for them and certainly did not consider them peers.
    Hot heads and self righteous hypocrites ruled the day and the Civil War was the terrible result.
    Hindsight is always 100%.

  3. “Spot The Republican!”
    That’s easy. He’s the one taking the photograph of the Democrats burning the cross.
    I see one Democrat is holding the US flag which is surely the next thing to be torched.

  4. “Hindsight is always 100%.”
    Well, unless you’re a Liberal. Then its only 100% when convenient.
    Bottom line Jema, you’ve got your people committed to personal freedom and the sovereignty of the individual, then you’ve got your people committed to Anything Else But. I like to call them the Forces of Darkness, kind of puts things into their proper perspective.
    DemocRats have been and are now firmly among the Forces of Darkness, right beside the Jihadeenies, the Communists, the fanatic Christian Right (both of ’em!) and the Ecowarriors. These morons think of themselves as being different from each other, but the points upon which they differ are mere details.
    What they agree upon is that people are evil, stupid, venal creatures which must be controlled by The Enlightened Few, and guided to the Promised Land. The details are mostly about the precise location of the Promised Land and how many of the stupid masses they are prepared to sacrifice on the way there.
    So far the Commies win for tolerance of casualties with the Nazis a distant second, but I shudder to think what the Ecologists will do if they ever really get going. In comparison the KKK was a frickin’ Boy Scout troop. On the same path for sure, but with no stomach for stacking up the really big numbers.
    A pox upon the lot of them.

  5. lets see.What did the democrats of old times have in common with modern dems.Oh I know, they want to find ways for other people to do the work instead of having to do it themselves except now instead of slaves they are looking to those who are industrious to pay for their crazy socialist policies with higher taxes!Yep my daddy was right if you want to figure out something just follow the money.

  7. Well said Phantom. Communism, IMO, is the most human hating theory of government ever dreamed up. Far more brutal than the Feudal System. The repressions of the past stole people’s lives and property and $$ – Communism does that in spades; far worse, Communism steals souls and negates all Justice for individuals.

    Jema54,
    Well Said! I would only add the untold truth that some Southern descendants have “since” fought for the Stars & Stripes, but died “under” the same Confederate flag as their G/Grand Fathers. That is why Southern States still fly the Confederate Flag, nothing to do with slavery. (Hint! look inside the helmet)

  9. (maybe Americas 1st black prez Clinton should read this?)
    from one of Kathy Shaidles links:
    After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today. Congressional records show that all previous legislation (since 1964) had strong bi-partisan support, even though some Democrats debated and voted against these laws.
    After reviewing all of the evidence, many believe America would have never experienced racism to the degree that it has, had not the Democrats promoted it through:
    Racist Legislation
    Terrorist Organizations
    Negative Media Communications
    Bias Education
    Relentless Intimidation
    And Flawed Adjudication.
    The racism established and promoted by members of the Democratic Party affected and infected the entire nation from 1856 with the Dred Scott decision, to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case. But they never offered or issued an apology.
    Today both parties must remember their past. The Democrats must remember the terrible things they did to Blacks and apologize and the Republicans must remember the terrific things they did for Blacks and re-commit to complete the work that their predecessors started and died for.

    Phantom, you are correct on all accounts.

  11. batb
    you woul;d do well to quit pounding the bible, as the good kristian fellows have not been quite so benevolent as you would have us believe, many a person has died at the hands of good kristians because they were not quite the rite kind of kristian. As of recently the southern baptist churches were as white as hell, no matter wot the color of their structure.
    And timmy mcveigh was not defending one of us athiests, it was the actions of a good kristian that was the spark the ignited that wee bit of kristian good will!!!!!
    so please, keep your kristianism personal

  12. GYM,
    You are wrong. McVeigh was an athiest, whether he was defending athiests is another matter.
    “…many a person has died at the hands of good kristians because they were not quite the rite kind of kristian.”
    When, how many and compared to what? Athiest Communism perhaps? Socialist Naziism? The French revolution?
    And what’s with the “kristian” bit? If it’s your bigotry you are trying to make clear, you are doing a bang up job.
    You might also watch the number of screamers (!!!!!) you employ, it denotes a high level of emotion. Unless, of course, that’s what you want to convey publicly.

  13. batb @ 11:22am, is there an Intelligence behind this (il)logical order of the Natural world? yes it’s Mother Nature. we know next to nothing about the natural order of things. of earthly affairs however we know dems pigs when we sees em

  14. Kate,
    The Republican is the guy taking the picture of all those Democrats wearing those white dresses.
    Ooooooooo, Is that Jacques Parizeau I see on the far left?

  15. Where’s Hedy Fry?
    Here we have actual burning crosses on real people’s lawns and she’s nowhere to be heard.
