One More Fabrication: “The Southern Strategy”

[PoliticalChic]

Republicans say it was democrats who owned slaves but today it’s republicans who worship Robert e lee and fly confederate flags...and go to kkk rally’s.

And you say there was no flip? Learn history lady and not revisionist

Your linking of confederate flags and the kkk, is you being a bigot.

It is not credible that you missed the last 150 years, where the Confederate Flag, lost it's role as a symbol of secession and became a symbol of regional pride.


So, you are thus, lying, in order to rationalize your bigotry.

I'm gonna ask you to modify that post in this way...

While born and bred Southerners see the statues and the flag as their history and heritage....not an endorsement of slavery or racism, the Democrat Party- believing that every Southerner is as racist as the party is.....have played the flag as a call to racism.




Bill Clinton, life-long Democrat and life-long racist, used the flag in that way:

1. Bill Clinton had a Confederate flag-like issue, every year he was governor: 1979-1992 Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:
   
   (a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as ‘Confederate Flag Day’ in this state.
   
   (b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]
   
   (c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).
   
   Bill Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as governor to repeal this law.

Grant, Sherman, Lincoln would have been ashamed of today's liberals.

BUT....the Democrat candidate against Lincoln, would have been proud of 'em....


Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas made his feelings clear: “Now, I do not believe that the Almighty ever intended the negro to be the equal of the white man. …. He belongs to an inferior race, and must always occupy an inferior position.

I believe this government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity for ever; and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, ….”

SOOOOO

Why did all the southern Dems become southern Repubs?

According to 2 RNC chairman it was due to the Southern Strategy.

Which?

You'd like to think so, anyway.

See....now I have to punish you again.


Patriotism more than racism caused the shift to the Republicans....

Democrats have been lovers of communists since FDR....



Nixon campaigned on a strong anti-communist, law and order platform. While embracing the welfare state- Nixon was no conservative on domestic issues- he also railed against what he termed ‘the excesses of bleeding heart liberalism.’” "Death Of A Nation,” Dinesh D’Souza, p. 203



The most important points: all the segregationists in the Senate were Democrats, and remained same for the rest of their lives…except for one. And they were not conservative.....they were Liberal, communist supporting, Democrats.

1. Strom Thurmond became a Republican, albeit 16 years later. Lets see how many of the 12 in the Senate were conservative.
2. Senator Harry Byrd, staunch opponent of anti-communist McCarthy
3. Senator Robert Byrd, proabortion, opposed Gulf Wars, supported ERA, high grades from NARAL and ACLU
4. Senator Allen Ellender, McCarthy opponent, pacifist
5. Senator Sam Ervin, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, Nixon antagonist
6. Senator Albert Gore, Sr., McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War
7. Senator James Eastland, strong anti-communist
8. Senator Wm. Fulbright, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, big UN supporter
9. Senator Walter F. George, supported TVA, and Great Society programs
10. Senator Ernest Hollings, initiated federal food stamp program, …but supported Clarence Thomas’ nomination
11. Senator Russell Long, led the campaign for Great Society programs
12. Senator Richard Russell, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, supported FDR’s New Deal
13. Senator John Stennis, McCarthy opponent, opposed Robert Bork’s nomination

(Covered in "Mugged," by Coulter.


Notice how segregationist positions went hand-in-hand with opposition to McCarthy?

Rubbish... 50 years of popular voting maps and related trends and timing (relative to the passage of the Civil Rights Act) demonstrate conclusively that DixieCrats shifted allegiance to the Republican Party primarily out of racial motivations... all your sophomoric spin-doctoring to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

[Kondor3]

Face it, Pubs...

The Old South started voting your way after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964... due to DixieCrats jumping across the aisle.

You now hold the loyalty of the few former DixieCrats still on their feet, plus their children and grandchildren...

That, in turns, draws the Rednecks from other parts of the country, giving them a political "home" where they can go all soft-and-fuzzy...

Rednecks, in turn, tend to attract true racists from amongst their own fringe and even further to the right...

That, in turn, gives us Charlottesville and such...

Q.E.D.

You have a couple of unattractive fringe-zones to the far right of your spectrum...

Then again, there are some damned-unattractive fringe-zones to the far left of the Democratic Party...

Unfortunately, some of that leftist fringe on the (D) side of the aisle is sucking up most of the oxygen on the Democratic side.

Facts are that the Republicans were clearly the anti-racist party, and this appealed to righteous Southerners.


See if you can deny this:
7. Let’s blow the Democrat lie about a ‘Southern Strategy to get the racist vote’ out of the water.


Time to see just how 'racist' Nixon and the GOP were during that 'Southern Strategy' farrago.


“Tom Wicker, the progressive columnist for the New York Times, gave his appraisal of Nixon’s desegregation efforts. “There’s no doubt about it—the Nixon administration accomplished more in 1970 to desegregate Southern school systems than had been done in the 16 previous years or probably since. There’s no doubt either that it was Richard Nixon personally who conceived, orchestrated and led the administration’s desegregation effort . . . .That effort resulted in probably the outstanding domestic achievement of his administration.”




The Nixon Administration went even further, putting into effect the nation’s first affirmative action program. Dubbed the Philadelphia Plan, it imposed racial goals and timetables on the building trade unions first in Philadelphia and then throughout the country. Basically, Nixon moved to kick in the closed union door and to force racist Democratic unions to admit blacks.



The progressive legal scholar Neal Devins admits that Nixon’s Philadelphia Plan is “the genesis of affirmative action in government contracting and arguably all federal affirmative action programs.” The Switch That Never Happened: How the South Really Went GOP - American Greatness



Soooo.....you claim racists voted for those proposals????????

Kind of makes is laughable to try to paint the Republicans as racist, huh?

One must be quite a moron to believe that propaganda.

Hard to imagine how you can put together syncretic notes.....things having nothing to do with each other....and imagine (I almost said 'think') it worth posting.

The person who wrote that was totally right on. The question is how could you not know that? You can’t convince black people who liveed through this that it never happened.

It’s like telling Jews that the Holocaust never happened.

Oh wait are you one of those who believe the Holocaust never happened?

You sound like you are making excuses. They were both RNC chairmen and they were speaking for the GOP in their official capacity. It wasnt an opinion it was a fact. It would be kinda different if they were some nobodies with no status. You can scream lalalalala and bury your head in the sand as much as you want to but you cant explain this away. Note the bolded words in red. Read em and weep.

USATODAY.com - GOP: 'We were wrong' to play racial politics

"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s,


RNC Chair Michael Steele Confesses to Race-Based Southern Strategy

“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South."

"The first step on the road to recovery is to admit that you have a problem."

Republicans...

You have a 'racism' problem with the Old South contingent of your voting base, and those who view them as a philosophical mothership.

But, like the worst of the Democrats, you're incapable of perceiving and admitting your own shortcomings.

Perhaps one day in the distant future, when you stop deluding yourselves and spin-doctoring, you'll get it straightened out.

Until then, the Democrats will keep the Blacks and Hispanics in their back pocket; Voter Exploitation On Demand.

...I quoted the organ of the Democrat Party admitting how anti-racist the Nixon campaign was....and by ignoring same, you've undermined any cachet you might have ever had.

Again...

We're not talking about 'campaigns' and 'candidates' and 'party organs' during the transition years following the passage of the Civil Rights Act...

We're talking about rank-and-file DixieCrats abandoning the Democratic Party in 1964 and beyond, after the Democratic Party abandoned them.

The electoral maps in the century prior to 1964, and the electoral maps in the 50 years from 1964 and beyond, tell us all we need to know.

Those maps did not suddenly turn Red in 1964 because of 1950s McCarthyism scares or any other bull$hit reason...

Those maps suddenly turned red in 1964 because LBJ and the Democrats decided that enlisting the 'nigras' was more profitable than catering to DixieCrats.

In a very real sense...

The DixieCrats didn't leave the Democratic Party...

The Democratic Party left the DixieCrats...

It just took the Republicans a couple of election cycles before they were sure what they were dealing with, in regard to a shift of Old South party loyalties...

One of the GOP's "dirty little secrets" that they keep trying to paper-over...

Lord knows, the dumbass Democrats have their own fair share of "dirty little secrets" (like keeping Black Folk dependent on 'em)...

But this one... inheriting the DixieCrats... is all yours...

The "adult" thing to do would be to own-up to it and stop deluding yourselves and embarrassing yourselves, trying to paper it over with juicy rationalizations.

But, just like the juvenile Democrats, who delude themselves about November 8, 2016, and blame everybody but themselves for their humiliating loss...

So, too, do the childish Republicans petulantly insist on denying the glaringly obvious about inheriting DixieCrats, and continue to try to weasel out of it.

When discussing race in America it would be much more accurate to use the terms liberal and conservative instead of Republican and Democratic. Using the names of political parties to label a policy, can be an attempt to confuse.
