80% of GOP voters are remnants of the confederacy

The south shall rise again! Battle cry of the republicans. But really, can the GOP gain control of the government with a war on blacks, hispanics and women? Does anyone think that the Ku Klux Klan votes for Obama? Or the Aryans? Is it just coincidence that the republican party is 98% white men? Yeah sure. No wonder the GOP tries to keep Ron Paul quiet about wanting to bring back segregation. Gotta keep that under wraps till after cons are in power. Then Newt will join Paul for a cross burning.

 

Sorry, but it's the liberals who have a penchant for going to war against Americans. The GOP has no war against women, minorities, or any other group of Americans. Not even liberals.

 

From 1870 til it's demise at the hands of the SPLC IN 1986 Eight out of every Ten Knights of the Ku Klux Klan Members were Democrats (Towards the end they were known as "Reagan Democrats" or Blue Dog Democrats like Robert Byrd)

 

Ah yes, liberal and DNC revisionist bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

This is a horribly sad and pathetic post.

 

FYI, It's the cons that are forcing women in Virgina to undergo a vagina probe before getting an abortion. It's the cons that are trying to take away womens birth control. It's cons that are trying to destroy affirmative action for African Americans. It's Ron Paul that wants to allow businesses to discriminate against people that aren't white. It's cons that are passing laws that require non-whites to have proof of citizenship in Arizona and South Carolina. It's the GOP that has all the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nation voters and neo-nazis. You know it's a fact that they will be voting against a black POTUS. And that is why the GOP is, and will always be a minority party.

 

Lying doesn't help your case. But, I can play, too. It's the liberals who want all black babies aborted, want schools kept the playground of the unions to the detriment of poor kids, do not want jobs for poor people because they might actually leave the liberal plantation.

Just think, 100 years ago the Democrats didn't want blacks to learn to read and write or develop job skills that might compete with whites. Nothing has changes, has it?

 

Yes it has changed. That's the point I'm making. The northern states have become the Democrats, and the southern states have becomes the Republicans. The dems are for women, blacks and hispanics. Repubs are against them. You know it's true, and so does the rest of the country. Cons are also bigoted against the Muslims too. The GOP is the party of hate, and that's why they are the minority party. Fascism is a terrible ideology, you can't win with hate.

 

Which AA has nothing to do with equality and in fact tells minorities, you're not as good or capable so we're giving you a leg up. It also tells people, it's not your abilities that matter, but your skin color. It's a version of racism.

You'd actually be surprised how often neo-Nazi's are socialist, and then lets look at the history of the KKK and their intimate relationship with the Democrat Party.

We can look at history to see the detestable racist actions of liberals and the Democrat Party.

Not all northern states, unless Idaho (for example) is now a Southern state.

Plus it should be pointed out that Republican doesn't equal conservative and vice versa.

 

There always seems to be an exception to every rule. But still, 80% of the GOP is the remnants of the confederacy.

 

Although I'm not a GOPer or Republican, the South is not where the GOP is concentrated unless you wish to revise facts to say that the red state, blue state lies between the northern vs southern states. I mean, you'd have to say that many northern states are now "southern states". Do you actually research anything before you open your pie hole?

Realignment: The South becomes Republican

In the century after Reconstruction ended in 1877, the white South identified with the Democratic Party. The Democrats' lock on power was so strong, the region was called the "Solid South." The Republicans controlled certain parts of the Appalachian mountains, but they sometimes did compete for statewide office in the border states. Before 1964, the southern Democrats saw their party as the defender of the southern way of life, which included a respect for states' rights and an appreciation for traditional southern values. They repeatedly warned against the aggressive designs of Northern liberals and Republicans, as well as the civil rights activists they denounced as "outside agitators." Thus there was a serious barrier to becoming a Republican.

However, since 1964, the Democratic lock on the South has been broken. The long-term cause was that the region was becoming more like the rest of the nation and could not long stand apart in terms of racial segregation. Modernization that brought factories, businesses, and cities, and millions of migrants from the North; far more people graduated from high school and college. Meanwhile the cotton and tobacco basis of the traditional South faded away, as former farmers moved to town or commuted to factory jobs.

The immediate cause of the political transition involved civil rights. The civil rights movement caused enormous controversy in the white South with many attacking it as a violation of states' rights. When segregation was outlawed by court order and by the Civil Rights acts of 1964 and 1965, a die-hard element resisted integration, led by Democratic governors Orval Faubus of Arkansas, Lester Maddox of Georgia, and, especially George Wallace of Alabama. These populist governors appealed to a less-educated, blue-collar electorate that on economic grounds favored the Democratic party, but opposed segregation. After passage of the Civil Rights Act most Southerners accepted the integration of most institutions (except public schools). With the old barrier to becoming a Republican removed, traditional Southerners joined the new middle class and the Northern transplants in moving toward the Republican party. Integration thus liberated Southern politics, just as Martin Luther King had promised. Meanwhile the newly enfranchised black voters supported Democratic candidates at the 85-90% level.

The South's transition to a Republican stronghold took decades. First the states started voting Republican in presidential elections--the Democrats countered that by nominating Southerners who could carry some states in the region, such as Jimmy Carter in 1976 and 1980, and Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996; the strategy did not work with Al Gore in 2000, or John Edwards in 2004. Then the states began electing Republican senators to fill open seats caused by retirements, and finally governors and state legislatures changed sides. Georgia was the last state to fall, with Sonny Perdue taking the governorship in 2002. Republicans aided the process with systematic gerrymandering that protected the African American and Hispanic vote (as required by the Civil Rights laws), but split up the remaining white Democrats so that Republicans mostly would win. In 2006 the Supreme Court endorsed nearly all of the redistricting engineered by Tom DeLay that swung the Texas Congressional delegation to the GOP in 2004.
In addition to its white middle class base, Republicans attracted strong majorities from the evangelical Christian vote, which had been nonpolitical before 1980. The national Democratic Party's support for liberal social stances such as abortion drove many former Democrats into a Republican party that was embracing the conservative views on these issues. Conversely, liberal Republicans in the northeast began to join the Democratic Party. In 1969 in The Emerging Republican Majority, Kevin Phillips, argued that support from Southern whites and growth in the Sun Belt, among other factors, was driving an enduring Republican electoral realignment. Today, the South is again solid, but the reliable support is for Republican presidential candidates. Exit polls in 2004 showed that Bush led Kerry by 70-30% among whites, who comprised 71% of the Southern voters. Kerry had a 90-9% lead among the 18% of the voters who were black. One third of the Southerners said they were white evangelicals; they voted for Bush by 80-20%.[17]

 

That's why the northern states have such wonderful schools for blacks. That's why the northern states will sell out black children to the teachers' unions in a heartbeat. That's why the northern states are desperate to keep blacks unemployed and safely in the Democrat camp.

The only thing you said that's correct is in the long run the haters can't win. Doesn't that give you concern? Hatred of white people, hatred of men, hatred of the rich, hatred of the successful, hatred of working people. What to the leftist have besides hatred and exploitation.

I would say that you know and you're lying but there is the option of total foo. Perhaps you actually believe the propaganda and accept the liberal position that blacks are inherently helpless and must depend on their masters in Washington.

 

Hey Frank Burns, you only confirmed my point.

 

I would love to feed this troll and join in, but nothing posted in the OO is even close to being correct or factual.

Looks like the south doesn't it.

 

Good points Patrick.

 

hangover,
If what you say is true, then why have distircts that are Democrat been on the decline in the matter of living standards, ie. employment, safety,education, health and the like?
Do not misinterpret what I am saying because I am not for any party and I mean any. While some might say that the Old Republican Party freed slaves, they still allowed segregation, lynching, etc. Also, when LBJ manuvuered and had the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 passed by the US Congress, The Dixiecrats (most) went to the GOP. As far as I am concerned, there is no party that is for Black people nor anything that will truly benefit improvement of the living conditions of Black people in this country which is one of the reasons I do not look to politics nor politicians as problem solvers. They are a problem themselves. If we Black people would abandon the political process altogether until we build ourvelves up, we would see a marked improvement just working with each other. Of course I am not talking about all of us, just those of us who are about obtaining some of this good Earth that we can call our own and utilize it to build for ourselves.

 

This describes both parties IMO. With the Democrats and Republicans allowing the MIC and the Corporate/Oligarchy to run amuck, noone stands a chance. Both parties use hatred via "wedge issues" to drive the people against themselves while they fill their pockets and drive the nation further into debt. Think about it.

 

IF, by womens birth control you mean abotion, we just feel that the one sentenced to death without cause needs to have an advicate. But the party of pro-death want to kill when ever you feel like it. The very young, the old, ect, ect, ect.



Republicans now hold approximately 3890 of the total state legislative seats in the U.S., about 53 percent. Yep, it looks like the GOP is going down doesn't it.

And as far as the KKK goes, does the name Robert Carlyle Byrd mean anything to you??? Does it ring any bells??? Shall we look at his record??

Ku Klux Klan

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.

According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did." Byrd held the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. When it came time to elect the "Exalted Cyclops", the top officer in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.

Shame on that Republican Byrd, right??? OOPPPS;

A member of the Democratic Party, Byrd served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010. He was the longest-serving senator and the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress.

Your own KKK member!!!

And as far as voting against a black president the only way we will do that is if we disagree with his ideology. The black that holds that seat right now we disagree with all the way. But it isn't the color of his skin it's his ideology that we disaree with. So, try again , hangover, so far your batting 0.

 

hangover, there are many more states than just the north and south. Dems are for women??? That's why the GOP gave them the vote because they are aginst them??? And it was the GOP that passed the Civil Rights bill?? And as far as "Hispanics" go, IF they are legal, GREAT, but if they are illegal, get out of my country. That goes for ALL illegals, go back to where you came from and come in acording to law. And by God in heaven, if you should vote in one of our elections, guess what?? That's a felony and I want you prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I know, Democommies don't want that in any way

 

I started a thread that addresses this one, and also covers some other things.

Here is a brief summation.

The Republicans are not the remnants of the Confederacy. That's baloney. The Republicans are the remnants of the abolitionists who opposed slavery and the Confederacy.

The Democrat party was the party of the Confederacy. It was the Democrat party that supported slavery and the Confederacy.

Please check the historical facts.

Martin Luther King was a Republican.

See the details in my thread.
