Again using the term Dixiecrat to define the GOP is nothing more than political stereotyping to create a boogyman among voters just like the far right uses the term Socialist to define the DNC.
Currently the GOP is partially controlled by the far right as the DNC is partially controlled by the far left. Hell, by today's liberal standards, Kennedy would be considered a Blue Dog at best. And people wonder why our government is so dysfunctional.
Personally I have no problem with it, for the most part (barring the ACA implementation and the shutdown) neither extreme has the upper hand and any real damage they can do is relatively minimized.
Until the mainsteam moderates retake control of both parties my hope is they keep canceling each other out.![]()
There is no evidence that the Democrats have moved even an inch to the left. There's overwhelming evidence that dixiecrats are right wing extremists and always have been.
What's changed is that somehow, I think from Fox Republican propaganda, the dixiecrats now run the GOP.
I've always been a registered Republican even though that party left me in the 60s. My parents were delegates at several Republican National Conventions. I knew the party of business well. The present devolution is not remotely as competent. In fact it's anti-American.
To call someone's beliefs prejudiced is an attempt to imply they are not objective. That implication has absolutely no impact on reality. Some opinions are, some aren't, and you don't get to make that call. You can offer evidence, you can debate the evidence, but not judge prejudice in the absence of evidence and debate.
True, hyper-partisan hacks would obviously discount the evidence right before their eyes. A simple look at the last 40 years will prove my point if one is willing to look objectively.
Why on earth do you consider yourself objective?
