Washington Post: "Southern Republicans have seceded from sanity”

[Anti Federalist]

WaPo not the Times.

 

[Cowlesy]

What the GOP is experiencing now, one hopes, are the death throes of that 50-year spell that Johnson foretold. But before the party of the Great Emancipator can rise again, Republicans will have to face their inner Voinovich and drive a stake through the heart of old Dixie.

Hmm....wonder how that is going to play with my southern friends...

 

[Liberty Star]

Big part of whole GOP and Dems have seceded from sanity looking at Iraqi freedom war spending and other recent years stances. Mess we are in wasn't any easy achievement, it took lot of collaboration across the board.

WaPo not the Times.

Good catch. My bad...

 

[Kords21]

Well if southern republicans have seceded from sanity then what does this say abou the left?

YouTube - Janeane Garofalo calls teabaggers "racist rednecks"

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

They want the Republican party to become like the United Kingdom Conservative party. Far left on social issues and immigration, pro job destroying 'free trade'/globalization and also pro Zionist/war.

i think this fits in this thread- vicariously.
Today, I worked at my family's diner at lunch. (this is in alexandria, Louisiana- the last state to surrender to the northern aggressors, and some parts of the state haven't surrendered)
I waited on a table with two brothers. One was about 13, the other 10.
They came to eat on their own, they were very civil and polite, they ordered, they ate, they asked for their check, paid and left a tip. went on their way. As adults.
-lesson.
Our culture is different, and independent. Family is first. These nothern pricks start shit- they will regret it.

..and some parts of the state haven't surrendered

That's not acceptable

We're sending militaries to liberate other countries millions of miles away, how come these parts escaped "liberation".

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

I am so sick of yankee attacks on the south...it has been this way since the beginning. tones

"drive a stake through the heart of old Dixie."

She has to be out of her damn mind.

I'd love to bring you to some of these communities.
Federal agents wouldn't make it out of there alive.

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

They have done everything they could do to destroy the south...the south is the red states. We are the free marketers and anti federalists and always have been. TOnes

 

[Kords21]

Let's look at this a little differently. The Red states are predominately independent minded, do for themselves type of mindset. Where the Blue states are mostly liberal depending on anyone and anything to do everything for them, I think if it came to a modern day "civil war", I think the victor would be obvious, course there would be the problem of them waiting on someone else to surrender for them.

yeah but Hollywood ignores all that, you just loved you slaves. All 2% of southerners who owned any.

That map looks more red than blue to me. (I am color blind though)
If it is mostly red, it makes me wonder how Obama won.
