eraser8: IN THE SOUTH. But, in the South, there wasn't much competition. It was the Democratic party or nothing. In places where the parties were competitive, the KKK tended to be more Republican. William McKinley, Republican of Ohio, for example, was a KKK favorite.

indeed - when the klan pretty much ran the government in the state of indiana, it was overwhelmingly republican.

the government was overwhelmingly republican, so..kinda a similar situation to the south. they were overwhelmingly of one party because everybody was overwhelmingly of one party.

You can't be self-sufficient and socialist.




socialism is used as a tool to meet the needs of citizens, and allows a population be more productive and able. An example of this would be free education, including college. This allows more citizens to contribute at a higher level.

Not to mention we have a mixed economy and neither socialism nor capitalism in a pure form is realistic. To call Obama's financial policies socialism is just...ignorant.

Nemo's Brother: Donald_McRonald: King's economic bill of rights called for massive government jobs programs to rebuild America's cities. He saw a need to confront a Congress that had demonstrated its "hostility to the poor": appropriating "military funds with alacrity and generosity", but providing "poverty funds with miserliness."

King was a great man and a hero for the cause of freedom, but he wasn't perfect and he was wrong in many aspects. Einstein was smarter than any of us, but he could never figure out how to drive a car with any efficiencies. His mind and body just couldn't connect.


The point wasn't that King said it so it must be true, although I think it is. The point was King was hardly a conservative. He wasn't a militant, and this has lead some conservatives to attempt to claim him, but today he would be regarded as a radical socialist.

Johnson did more for the civil rights movement than Kennedy did, but Kennedy is always deified while Johnson gets lumped with all the luggage of shiat he didn't start (Vietnam). Johnson was also coarse as hell in his speaking, as opposed to the outright racist that replaced him as President.

Let's not forget that for a very long time, Maine had the largest KKK membership in the country, outside of the South. It is less about party, than a means to secure power. The KKK throws their support behind candidates that believe as they do--Democrat or Republican. As David Duke can attest to--starting off Democrat, and staying elected as a Republican State Representative. His philosophy of racial separation has matured over the years, since his early days as a Democrat, and a Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan.

We (white nationalists) desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools, work in our own cities and towns, and ultimately live as one extended family in our own nation. We shall end the racial genocide of integration. We shall work for the eventual establishment of a separate homeland for African Americans, so each race will be free to pursue its own destiny without racial conflicts and ill will.

And he's moved on from just questions of race in this country, but abroad, with his 2002 page turner: Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening on the Jewish Question

It is NOT a question of which party has racist asshats. It's what the party does and how much they embrace those policies. Republicans have wandered far from their roots for preserving the Republic, and the rights of all citizens. And with the embrasure of the Southern Strategy, we've embraced some tactics and people who are questionable, at best.

LBJ is basically the only reason the Civil Rights Act passed at all. Without his extremely strong support and his bullying of Congress, that act would never have made it to his desk for his signature. He also pushed through the Voting Rights Act.

Whether he personally was a racist or not, he certainly helped to champion the cause of equal rights.

They've tried it. Twice. Which is where the story of King (like his father) being a Republican until 1960 generally arises.

The problem is that his example is even flawed. Johnson is one of the worst examples out there, considering you're forced to prove (if they ever bothered to do such a thing) that the guy who SIGNED civil rights legislation was 'such a racist'.

This is, however, the same President who would openly talk about his ballsac on the telephone.

A rough guide to what to expect when doing business with a Swedish company:

Think of the most rational business decisions or the most efficient solutions to quantifiable problems, then do the exact opposite. Offer no explanation. If asked about that decision or solution, answer as infrequently as possible; when compelled, keep the answers vague and counterintuitive.

Don't worry that all this will take a lot out of you: if you try a little, you can work as little as 3 months in a year.

RevMercutio: PascalsGhost: RevMercutio: Sabyen91: AirForceVet: Sounds like a reasonable request. Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) were with the Democratic Party since before the Civil War. Dixiecrats finally left the party over Civil Rights legislation the liberal Democrats pushed, made their own party up, and promptly failed.

Now they're with the Republican Party, supporting "traditional marriage," "family values," and other spin terms to mask their true nature as WASPs: White, Angry, Southern Protestants.

Yeah, they all became Republicans because of race. Those people should be talking about the Republicans apologizing.

/Set somebody up for a homer.

They certainly left the Democratic Party because of it. The thing that this group is talking about, I wonder if it happened in 1948 and they missed it.

The Democratic party was indeed racist for over a century. However, they've stopped and (I believe) apologized and attempted to make reparations. Does that mean Republicans can do it for another 70 years or so?

Fart_Machine: Phil Herup: Sabyen91: Hehe, THAT is funny.



Why?

Because King was an avowed socialist.

Who voted Republican until 1960. Was Republicanism socialist as well?

Really? Are you really gonna be an idiot too and deny King's socilism?

All I said was that King voted Republican until 1960. Why that makes me an idiot when it's the truth, I have no idea. So congratulations. By resorting to an insult right off the bat with no provocation, you've already lost.

I can prove what I say. You throw insults and apparently think that makes you correct.


From what I've read, King backed Eisenhower in '56, stayed neutral in '60, and flamed the Republicans in '64.

After the nomination of Barry Goldwater for the presidency, King wrote in his Autobiography, "The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of good will viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The best man at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade."

Link (new window)

Goldwater's nomination was a great big "Fark you!" to black Americans. The argument that Democrats haven't done enough for the inner cities at the municipal level of government is valid, but when you look at national politics, Northern Democrats--and Northern Republicans--were the ones who used federal power to overcome segregation. A strong federal government is now a fundamental principal for Democratic congressional and presidential candidates; a weak federal government is likewise a fundamental principal for Republican congressional and presidential candidates.

At the university level, we do have the best...but we pay out our asses for it and it would not exist if we didn't have a free market economy that allows us to afford it. Being the richest nation on the planet allows us to provide these wonderful universities for many of our nations best and brightest to make 6 figures working 15 hours a week to live inside their own head.

Bottom line is that our capitalist system has creates enough wealth to allow a socialistic educational system that is as financially inefficient as ours is to still be the envy of the world. We are that farking rich as a country.

Why not? Why not rant about anything you can make up or imagine? You aren't base din reality anyway, why not rant? nobody respects your views, you are at least comic fodder.

Huh? Why not? This country is in deep shiat in large part because many people didn't know basics on how to manage their money. Public schools were too busy preaching that we wouldn't be able to go outside in the year 2000 because hairspray was depleating the ozone that they didn't have time to teach what an APR is or how a mortgage works.

LOL, kill yourself dude. I sometimes think you are trolling, but if you are really this bad, you are a negative force of humanity and your country. Take a bullet for the team son.

Seriously dude...that says more about you than it does me.
