Yep, Libertarian.Looks like a Libertarian to me. Anyone who believes Ayn Rand has no fucking clue how to shit in the woods, let alone anything else.Yeah those democrats... aren't they a great bunch?
This photo was taken at an OWS rally, moron.
You've never met the truth my little infant. Mommy either didn't, or couldn't, get that across to you.It's simply amazing the nonsense that you believe my little infant.The only problem is the North freed the slaves and the South fought a war against this nation trying to stop such a thing. The history doesn't change just because you lie.Hmmmm, no. Robert Byrd was from West Virginia, a union state. The KKK was quite popular in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The south merely defended itself from Northern aggression. Lincoln didn't invade Virginia to free the slaves. He did it to impose the Morrill tariff.
History doesn't change because you lie.
It must be wonderful to be a liberal because you are constantly amazed when someone explains the simple truth to you.

Liberals rewriting history. The Dixiecrats all, save one, remained democrats to the day they died. They're still racists, only their methods have changed.There you go again. The democrats remained democrats. The republicans have never been for slavery. That is controlling people against their will, which is big government. Big government is Democrat policy. You democrats are still the same, only your methods have changed. Blacks are still on the Democrat plantation.They've only changed political parties.

Are today's Southern Conservatives any different than Southern Conservatives from the Civil War?
The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights
The mainstream, and correct, history of the politics of civil rights is as follows. Southern white supremacy operated out of the Democratic Party beginning in the nineteenth century, but the party began attracting northern liberals, including African-Americans, into an ideologically cumbersome coalition. Over time the liberals prevailed, forcing the Democratic Party to support civil rights, and driving conservative (and especially southern) whites out, where they realigned with the Republican Party.
The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights -- NYMag
It is true that most Republicans in 1964 held vastly more liberal positions on civil rights than Goldwater. This strikes [Kevin Williamson, the author of the National Review piece] as proof of the idiosyncratic and isolated quality of Goldwater's civil rights stance. What it actually shows is that conservatives had not yet gained control of the Republican Party.
But conservative Republicans — those represented politically by Goldwater, and intellectually by William F. Buckley and National Review — did oppose the civil rights movement. Buckley wrote frankly about his endorsement of white supremacy: "the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically." More often conservatives argued on grounds of states' rights, or freedom of property, or that civil rights leaders were annoying hypocrites, or that they had undermined respect for the law.

The Republican Party that championed civil rights in the mid-to-late 19th century all but abandoned the cause in the beginning of the 20th, as white America turned away from blacks, and left them to suffer at the hands of segregationists and lynch mobs. Key GOP politicians (like President Taft) embarked on a campaign to wash the Republican Party of its connection to blacks, in order to expand its constituency in the white South.

JFK? The one who had Hoover spy on MLK and find dirt on him?My family lived in Mississippi and Louisiana in the 1960's. Like most Southerners they had voted Democrat for a hundred years or more. Then in 1962, Kennedy sent the troops into Ole Miss to force the University to integrate or as my Dad phrased it, "to force integration down our throats". I haven't live in the South for many years but I would bet no one in my family has voted Democrat since 1962.The GOP's admission of the Southern Strategy says you are either a liar or ignorant of the facts.There you go again. The democrats remained democrats. The republicans have never been for slavery. That is controlling people against their will, which is big government. Big government is Democrat policy. You democrats are still the same, only your methods have changed. Blacks are still on the Democrat plantation.They've only changed political parties.
The term "Southern Strategy" was made up by a lib. Republicans have never even mentioned accept with respect to left-wing claims about it.
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party strategy of gaining political support for certain candidates in the Southern United States by appealing to racism against African Americans.
Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery before the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.
The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater] in the late 1960s.The strategy was successful in winning the five formerly Confederate states of the Deep South (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.) for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election, but he won in only one other state, Arizona, his home state. The Southern Strategy also yielded five formerly Confederate states (Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee) in Richard Nixon's successful 1968 campaign for the presidency.
It contributed to the electoral realignment of some Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. As the twentieth century came to a close, the Republican Party began attempting to appeal to black voters again, though with little success.
In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the NAACP for ignoring the black vote and exploiting racial conflicts.
