By Democrat Governors correct?

Would you like to make the assertion that Democrats today are the same, with the same political goals as the Southern Democrats back then?

Absolutely not. It's not the same Democrat party of old and thank heavens its not.

What I don't understand is why Democrats can't just admit a history that was not so pretty and pat themselves on the back for leaving those days behind.

Why do modern day Democrats so hell bent for leather that they have the need to demonize Republicans and attempt to flip both parties histories? Pixie dust falling and making all Democrats Republicans and all Republicans magically turning into Democrats. Overnight.

It's pretty sick.

Who's denying our poor history in the Democrat Party, Tiny? Name names.

DNC website. No guff. I have many friends that are Dems and my father in law and brother in law are devout but true D's that I love and and admire. For the most part we all have remained classical liberal so our ideologies can be discussed and debated without feeling the need to slap each other around. I don't appreciate the progressives that have hijacked the Dems.

Here's a list from my stack of stuff that WSJ came up with that was missing from D history at the website. Lots more at the link. I want to stay within the copyright rules of the board.

So what's missing?

• There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840 through 1860.
• 
  
• There is no reference to the number of Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800 through 1861
• 
  
• There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the subject. There were 20, from 1868 through 1948.
• 
  
• There is no reference to "Jim Crow" as in "Jim Crow laws," nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them. These were the post-Civil War laws passed enthusiastically by Democrats in that pesky 52-year part of the DNC's missing years.
• These laws segregated public schools, public transportation, restaurants, rest rooms and public places in general (everything from water coolers to beaches). The reason Rosa Parks became famous is that she sat in the "whites only" front section of a bus, the "whites only" designation the direct result of Democrats.
• 
  
• There is no reference to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner, became "a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party."
• 
  
• Nor is there reference to University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease's description of the Klan as the "terrorist arm of the Democratic Party."
• 
  
• There is no reference to the fact Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. The 13th banned slavery.
  
• 
  
• The 14th effectively overturned the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision (made by Democratic pro-slavery Supreme Court justices) by guaranteeing due process and equal protection to former slaves.
  
• 
  
• The 15th gave black Americans the right to vote.
• 
  
• There is no reference to the fact that Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1866. It was passed by the Republican Congress over the veto of President Andrew Johnson, who had been a Democrat before joining Lincoln's ticket in 1864.
  
• 
  
• The law was designed to provide blacks with the right to own private property, sign contracts, sue and serve as witnesses in a legal proceeding.There is no reference to the Democrats' opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1875.
• 
  
• It was passed by a Republican Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses Grant. The law prohibited racial discrimination in public places and public accommodations.

• There is no reference to the Democrats' 1904 platform, which devotes a section to "Sectional and Racial Agitation," claiming the GOP's protests against segregation and the denial of voting rights to blacks sought to "revive the dead and hateful race and sectional animosities in any part of our common country," which in turn "means confusion, distraction of business, and the reopening of wounds now happily healed."
• 
  
• There is no reference to four Democratic platforms, 1908-20, that are silent on blacks, segregation, lynching and voting rights as racial problems in the country mount.
• 
  
• By contrast the GOP platforms of those years specifically address "Rights of the Negro" (1908), oppose lynching (in 1912, 1920, 1924, 1928) and, as the New Deal kicks in, speak out about the dangers of making blacks "wards of the state."

• There is no reference to the Democratic Convention of 1924, known to history as the "Klanbake." The 103-ballot convention was held in Madison Square Garden. Hundreds of delegates were members of the Ku Klux Klan, the Klan so powerful that a plank condemning Klan violence was defeated outright.
• 
  
• To celebrate, the Klan staged a rally with 10,000 hooded Klansmen in a field in New Jersey directly across the Hudson from the site of the convention.
  
• 
  
• Attended by hundreds of cheering convention delegates, the rally featured burning crosses and calls for violence against African-Americans and Catholics.

• There is no reference to the fact that it was Democrats who segregated the federal government, at the direction of President Woodrow Wilson upon taking office in 1913. There \is a reference to the fact that President Harry Truman integrated the military after World War II.
• 
  
• There is reference to the fact that Democrats created the Federal Reserve Board, passed labor and child welfare laws, and created Social Security with Wilson's New Freedom and FDR's New Deal.
  
• 
  
• There is no mention that these programs were created as the result of an agreement to ignore segregation and the lynching of blacks. Neither is there a reference to the thousands of local officials, state legislators, state governors, U.S. congressmen and U.S. senators who were elected as supporters of slavery and then segregation between 1800 and 1965.
• 
  
• Nor is there reference to the deal with the devil that left segregation and lynching as a way of life in return for election support for three post-Civil War Democratic presidents, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt.

• There is no reference that three-fourths of the opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Bill in the U.S. House came from Democrats, or that 80% of the "nay" vote in the Senate came from Democrats.
  
• 
  
• Certainly there is no reference to the fact that the opposition included future Democratic Senate leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia (a former Klan member) and Tennessee Senator Albert Gore Sr., father of Vice President Al Gore.
• 
  
• Last but certainly not least, there is no reference to the fact that Birmingham, Ala., Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor, who infamously unleashed dogs and fire hoses on civil rights protestors, was in fact--yes indeed--a member of both the Democratic National Committee and the Ku Klux Klan.

Interesting that you claim it is "missing" when it is very easy to access all that stuff at any time.

And there's nothing at the "link" anyway except a notice you have to be a member to read it.

Fuck that.

Good thing the camo & ammo sister-fucker racist white Rednecks are going extinct. They're an embarrassment to our Nation. But their numbers are dwindling. They'll go the way of the Neanderthals in time.

"Most Dixiecrats"? Here's the complete list of "Dixiecrats":

1. Strom Thurmond
2. Fielding Wright (Thurmond's running mate)

That's it. End of list. Two people.

Thurmond went Republican in 1964 after the CRA passed. Wright died in 1956, before either Civil Rights Act came up.

Thurmond had already been kicked off the state Democratic ballot for Senator ten years earlier after he endorsed Eisenhower over Stevenson in 1952.

So exactly 50% of "Dixiecrats" stayed kind-of Democrats, while the other 50% died.

Oh bite me that there were only two Dixiecrats! What are you smoking tonight Pogo?

Well? Got any more? Those were the only two offices they ran for -- POTUS and VPOTUS. One election.

Finally back in from Miracle growing and running the dog long enough to make some decent posts for a minute before I call it a day.

There were more than two. And as I said most of the Dixiecrats remained in the D column for the rest of their lives.

Here you go.

Dixiecrat - The States Rights Democratic Party jacksonville.com

No one denies the Dixiecrats, Tiny. But the large majority of Southern Democrat movers and shakers went Republican....or are you going to deny when the Southern states went Red?

Well I've already put up that the only two that were head honchos defected to the R's. I'll put up the list who stayed D from the Dixiecrats again.

When the south went red is a whole different ball game and I'd be more than happy to address it in a couple of days because I'm celebrating a great 10 year anniversary this weekend. A personal milestone. And I intend to party hardy.

One thing Bod. I'm not defending racism. I'm not defending the Confederacy or anyone associated with it.

But I am going to jump in everytime I find anyone trying to skewer and rewrite history. It's just a thing I have. I hate it when people try that shit.

Sometimes history really sucks big time. You should read my posts about the Ukraine (I'm half Uk) and our horrid past of loving the Nazis in the Western Ukraine and people come after me like crazy.

Because I post the truth about our history as western Uk's. But so be it.

But history shouldn't be "interpreted" and become touchy feely. It is what it is.

Here's your list of the players.

Dixiecrat - The States Rights Democratic Party jacksonville.com

Again --- there were a total of TWO "Dixiecrats" that ever ran for any office at all.

One was Strom Thurmond, who ran for President;
The other was Fielding Wright, his running mate.

Both were Democrats in 1948 when they walked out of the convention and generated that candidacy.

Four years later Thurmond endorsed Dwight Eisenhower for President (1952) and the state Democratic Party kicked him off the ballot when he wanted to run for re-election (1954). Thurmond then ran (and won) as a write-in.

Two years after that (1956), Fielding Wright died, becoming an obscure historical footnote. Thurmond was the only ex-Dixiecrat left.

The next year (1957) a Civil Rights Bill came up, which Thurmond, trying to rally other Southern Democrats to vote against, launched a filibuster that still stands as the longest ever -- 24 hours and 18 minutes. His colleagues were not at all amused, it backfired.

In the end, though, the filibuster made little difference except to incense his fellow Southern Democrats, whom he had hoped would join with him in his opposition to the bill as a result of the filibuster. His Southern colleagues, however, as a result of negotiations with President Eisenhower and his Republican allies in Congress, had already vowed to not filibuster the bill. To them, Thurmond’s actions felt very much like a betrayal.

.... Despite his commitment, the filibuster didn’t change a single vote, and the Civil Rights Act passed Congress on August 29, 1957, shortly after Thurmond finished.

While we may never know how Thurmond came to view his legendary filibuster later in his life, the fact that he failed to make a difference in swaying anyone to his morally dubious cause in its final stages of life, it could only generously be called a complete waste of everyone’s time.
​

The CRA of 1957 had little impact, but seven years later (1964) a serious one came up. Thurmond was again agin' it of course, but the bill passed with a minority opposition entirely along regional lines.

Two months later Thurmond did what was for 99 years unspeakable in the South -- became a Republican. To which the rest of the Democrats surely said, "good riddance". But this was a major breakthrough -- the unspeakable had become speakable.

Meanwhile, outside the Congress that same year (1964), Alabama Gov. George Wallace was petitioning Barry Goldwater, to be Goldwater's running mate. Goldwater declined, and then had to talk Wallace out of the idea of running on his own à la the Dixiecrats. Goldwater was of course concerned that Wallace would siphon off what little electoral vote he had a shot at outside his home state-- the deep South. Wallace stood down and Goldwater got the South, but nothing more than that.

Four years after that (1968), Wallace launched his first of two Presidential campaigns as the anti-Liberal, while Nixon strategists saw the fissures and sought to exploit them and thus began the blue-to-red shift in the South.

Wallace's 1968 and 1972 breakaways were the latest of a series of Southern breaks with the DP going all the way back to 1860 when Southerners also walked out of that convention and ran their own candidates (who won the entire South between them). A hundred years later (1960) the Kennedy-Nixon election was made all the more razor-thin by Southern electoral votes siphoned off to Sen. Harry Byrd (D-VA). The 1948 election was also thrown into uncertainty by the Dixiecrat rebellion, their strategy being to deny a majority and throw the election into the House of Representatives. That strategy failed as Truman won a narrow victory.

All of which describe a schism with more than a century of history behind it. Since the South went red there have been no Southern walkouts of Republican conventions, no particular party bolting from R to D because a pol wasn't getting what he wanted, no independent "Southern Heritage" candidates. They have a home, finally, of like-minded conservatives in the Republican Party. That party was always there, as the Southern conservatives were always there; they just needed Thurmond as a catalyst to dip his toe in the water and declare it was OK, and turning Republican wasn't going to bring the Zombie Apocalypse.

Yup, and the Nazi Flag isn't 'all bad' either. Seriously, ya dumb Camo & Ammo white Redneck dimwits really do need to get it together. That flag represents nothing but bloody horror to African Americans. It represents rape, torture, and murder. Shouldn't have been allowed to fly on Government grounds. Period, end of story.

I am sorry to be the one that tell you that you are wrong.

Coming from a family that had an ancestor that fought for the Confederacy and having his letters that explained why he fought that flag represents history and defiance to an out of control Federal government.

That is a part of the South's history and a big part at that.

I fly my flag on my property as a recognition of the history of the state I live in, recognition of the sacrifice made by great great great grandfather to protect his state from an invasion and my personal defiance to this socialists shithole called the US.

None of those reasons have a damn thing to do with slavery.

If anybody doesn't like it they can kiss my Cracker ass.

It was placed over state capitals and on state flags to protest desegregation.

Yeah, no racism there.

By Democrat Governors correct?

Pre or post 1960's?

Oh please don't try that game with me that one magical night with pixie dust from on high that Republicans became Democrats and Democrats and Dixiecrats all became Republican.

It's a fairytale. A sad pathetic fairytale.

It didn't happen overnight but it most certainly happened. Adult remedial Social Studies 101 can help you make up for those skipped classes in high school.

The party membership changed while the attitudes remained in the regions. The confederate flag belongs to the attitude, not the party.

Well it may be a stretch to say the republicans became democrats, cause the blacks couldn't vote back then, and there was a scarcity of white republicans.

He was talking specifically about his personal flag.

Defending the racist treason flag by saying "Democrats put it up in 1960" may seem like an argument to you, but all you're doing is admitting that it shouldn't be there.

The legitimate government of South Carolina is the Confederacy. What exist nowadays is an occupation government. It has been that way since the state was taken over by the force of arms in 1865.

South Carolina declared itself sovereign in 1860. It is only a part of this socialist shithole called the US because of military occupation.

• There is no reference to the fact that it was Democrats who segregated the federal government, at the direction of President Woodrow Wilson upon taking office in 1913. There \is a reference to the fact that President Harry Truman integrated the military after World War II.
• 
  
• There is reference to the fact that Democrats created the Federal Reserve Board, passed labor and child welfare laws, and created Social Security with Wilson's New Freedom and FDR's New Deal.
  
• 
  
• There is no mention that these programs were created as the result of an agreement to ignore segregation and the lynching of blacks. Neither is there a reference to the thousands of local officials, state legislators, state governors, U.S. congressmen and U.S. senators who were elected as supporters of slavery and then segregation between 1800 and 1965.
• 
  
• Nor is there reference to the deal with the devil that left segregation and lynching as a way of life in return for election support for three post-Civil War Democratic presidents, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt.

• There is no reference that three-fourths of the opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Bill in the U.S. House came from Democrats, or that 80% of the "nay" vote in the Senate came from Democrats.
  
• 
  
• Certainly there is no reference to the fact that the opposition included future Democratic Senate leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia (a former Klan member) and Tennessee Senator Albert Gore Sr., father of Vice President Al Gore.
• 
  
• Last but certainly not least, there is no reference to the fact that Birmingham, Ala., Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor, who infamously unleashed dogs and fire hoses on civil rights protestors, was in fact--yes indeed--a member of both the Democratic National Committee and the Ku Klux Klan.

The Democrats Missing History - WSJ

Interesting that you claim it is "missing" when it is very easy to access all that stuff at any time.

And there's nothing at the "link" anyway except a notice you have to be a member to read it.

Fuck that.

If I got in there you can.

Don't believe the radical communists desecration of the Confederacy or comply with their indoctrination in their efforts to turn America into the former Soviet Union.

Reading books with incorrect information, or ridiculous conclusions is not "learning"....

These Southern REWRITES of Civil War history are pathetic.

Get real.

Too bad none of them are honest enough to write a book titled;

"How We White Southerners Lost the War to be Racist Slave Owners"

Strong people admit when they are wrong and make changes
Weak people try to rationalize they were correct when they were wrong. They do not have enough self-worth to admit when they were wrong.

I'm still trying to get one of these flaggers to tell me why now? Why weren't they batshit crazy over this a month ago?

Dude, we didn't lose anything.. how old do you think we are? And you realize hopefully that many of use either:

a. Are not even from the south
b. Families didn't come here until the 20th century.

Right?

Right?

And is it you Johnny-come-lately's that are writing all of these racist books?

Or are you just the chumps who are buying them?

Now you can try denying that the South lost the war to keep black Americans as their slaves in perpetuity.

But the rest of the civilized non-racist world is better educated than you and knows better.
