I know that the south is very proud. Many of the southerners are so frustrated right now because many of the southern states are removing the flag.. Do you think it will start another civil war?
I think this whole thing is stupid as hell...... YOU CANT ERASE THE PAST!!!!!!!!!!
Those weren't the same Democrats as the ones today. The party has done a complete turnaround since then.
No, it hasn't. The only thing that has changed is methodology and tactics. The Democrats are still the party of racism, they just hide it under the guise of "helping" people. They believe that no minority is capable of succeeding without government intervention, which is possibly the most racist idea ever. The Democrats are good at divisiveness, but not much else.
Yes, it will lead to a second civil war, gradually over a couple of years
there will be more and more shootings, bloodier and bloodier all over the country until National Guard will be deployed around major metropolitan areas and that will be the point of no return
I think maybe the rebel flag should be kept if it keeps the gripers focused on trying to take it away. If they do away with the rebel flag, then what's the NEXT thing they'll complain about and try to take away?
They've griped about Nativity scenes and Christmas Trees. They gripe about guns. They gripe about big cars. They gripe about meat. They gripe about sodas. They gripe about everything.
The rebel flag is meaningless to me so let them complain about it. I don't want them complaining about something I like and want to have. Keep the government distracted and they'll stay out of the way. Why is the government always trying to take away what you have and want and always trying to give you what you don't want?
Notice how all this is dividing people?Police, racism, flag. Gay marriage.. we are being led down the path of division . Our government and media is stirring the pot. Next. Christian bashing.
As if Midtown Atlanta is representative of anything in the South. Atlanta is one tiny little enclave of what the South truly is. Is there dancing in the streets in Valdosta, Macon, Columbus? Is there dancing in the streets in Jackson, MS? How bout Anniston, AL where two police officers were recently fired and forced to resign over belonging to a secessionist organization called "League of the South"? Look up that organization and take a read about them.
I can't say whether they danced in the streets or not, but they didn't waste any time getting married and I would be there was some dancing. You know queens love to dance.
Those weren't the same Democrats as the ones today. The party has done a complete turnaround since then.
First of all, the turning around wasn't the Democratic Party of FDR. The turning around was that the Democrats from the South, who couldn't stomach voting for a Republican because of their hatred for Lincoln(which btw still exists throughout the South), decided they couldn't abide the LBJ signing of the Civil Rights Act. FDR was so frustrated with them as they tried to thwart every effort of the New Deal. They were just as reactionary and conservative then (southern Democrats) as they are now (southern Republicans), they just blew a gasket with the Civil Rights Act and decided Lincoln was long enough dead they could handle becoming Republicans. But make no mistake, you will never hear a southern Republican call it the party of Lincoln, or evoke his name in any way. They still despise the greatest president this country has ever had.
