The party of Jefferson Davis, General Beauregard, General Lee still controls the legislatures of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina and Alabama. But, we've lost Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee (that was probably Obama's fault because that happened in 2008. Its why we dont have important elections in LA in presidential years), Georgia (which we might be able to take back, and which still is Democratic outside of metro Atlanta, which is ruining the state), and Texas
And these states have consistently been voting in presidential elections for candidates of Lincoln's party. What must we do to make people understand that their local Democrats are the same Dixiecrats they have always supported, and that the Republicans are still the party of Lincoln, intent on reconstructing the South to fit their own interests
What must we do to get people to come back to the party of their forefathers, and why does the Republican Party not own up to their heritage by associating themselves with Lincoln when they campaign in the South
And why do Republicans want to destroy the South?
Note: The first national flag of the Confederacy flew over the state capitol of Florida until Yankee Republican Jeb Bush took it down
To Pam: I was born and raised in New Orleans and have lived here my whole life, and I have watched as this party that once didn't exist has now become a cancer in our region. They are trying to change the Southern way of life by changing who controls the states politically. The Republicans have yet to put a true honest to God Southerner on their ticket. Since 1960, the Democrats have put 3 sons of the old Confederacy into office, and the Democrats actually put a former confederate citizen into the White House in 1912
and as for southern cooking: Jumabalaya, crawfish pie and file gumbo
To PH: Martin was a bad candidate, and that's a federal race anyway, I don't care right now about federal races, though we were able to re-elect Landrieu, even with Obama hurting our ticket
And ya'll are trying to destroy the South. You have given influence and power to a group that usually kept their mouths shut before the 80s, the Evangelicals, your Baptists, Pentecostals, non-denominationalists and "pure bible teaching" people.
I was among the people who helped to swing all those people in Acadiana for Dukakis by reminding them that Mike was a Catholic, and that Dan Quayle was anti-Catholic.
and that you brought up slavery shows you are a self-hating Southerner. Every real Southerner knows that the late unpleasantness was fought for northern greed. They envied the wealth of the South, they saw great cities like New Orleans and Charleston, and they wanted the South's wealth
All true Southerners are proud of their heritage and proud of Dixie
