Which is it, Che, the segregationists or the Christians who control the party - or, is it your contention that the Christians are segregationists?

Why do you think the two have to be different. Segregationists twisted the church to support their institutions. They haven't changed all that much down here.

The truth is that there are no more segregationists. That issue is settled as is slavery.

Only legally, Ned, only legally. They're still segregationists in their heart. Look at the color of the Republican leadership.

Face it...you are a weak fellow traveler. We will purge you with the Menshaviks and Social Revolutionaries.

Dr. Strangelove, it is amazing the reaction that Dred Scott caused. It litteraly galvanized the Republican party and their aggressiveness to end slavery caused the revolt.

I wonder if the Supremes are still concerned never to repeat what they did then. Roe v. Wade and Bush v. Gore came close. Both cases invoked enormous passion in the people who felt betrayed by the decisions. Roe v. Wade has again propelled the Republican party in a great moral crusade and is one of the issues that has made it the majority party in the US.

i read "dude, where's my country" concurrently with "treason".

I see a lot of black people in the Republican leadership, Che. Republicans have gone out of their way to appoint blacks to positions of serious responsibility - a lot more so than any Democrat regime in history.

You know, most of the southerners I know, black and white, get along wonderfully and we really just sit back and laugh at the rest of the country for somhow believing that attributing racism to our geographic region is anything but projecting the problems of where they live on us.

Pat, I don't live in the South, but I am not surprised at this.

Still, that Flag is not a symbol just of military prowess or of Southern Heritage without more. Everyone knows what it symbolizes.

In the last month I've read, Bushwhacked, Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth, and Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Now I'm reading The Great Unraveling. I'm surper pissed about the whackjobs who've taken control of the Repugnent Party and the Dumbocrats who have refused to stand up to them.

Look, I find myself very upset too with the status quo in United States at times, so I can understand where you're coming from.

However, in regards to your opinions about DEMOcrats and the related issue with my thread about DEMOcrats, you seem to refuse to try to understand where I'm coming from.

I am disappointed with what I perceive as villification by some of the Democratic candidates about Bush's policies in Iraq. Yes, Bush invaded Iraq for the wrong reasons -- so let's criticize him there, not on goals that his administration would have a good chance at succeeding in.

For instance, the Democrats sure looked dumb on the day Saddam was captured, because, as was discussed briefly during one CNN report, some of those Democrats (Dean included) had criticized Bush in the past for not having accomplished that goal. Way to go in setting ourselves up in a position to have to do an about-face.

Criticizing the Bush administration for incompetent mistakes, and outright deceivements is the smart way -- villifying the Bush administration too much on one single issue is the dumb way.

We Democrats need to stand up to the Bush administration on a multitude of issues, and stop setting ourselves up in positions where we might have to do an about-face or back-pedaling in the immediate future.

i was born and raised in the south. being !white, i can definitely see where the bad connotations come from--and the likes of people like wallace don't help much.

however, i've also seen the other side of things, which is why i know that everybody who bears the flag isn't a racist. plain and simple.

Q Cubed, no not everyone who adheres to the "Lost Cause" mythology is necessarily racist.

However, those who are not racist, but believe in the "Lost Cause" mythology, are ignorant about the history behind the rise of this mythology during and after Reconstruction.

The "Lost Cause" emerged as a political agenda by many former Confederates to distort the historical causes of the Civil War, and even the history of slavery itself, in antebellum America.
