The rightwingnuts are still reeling from the beating the FDR gave them. .
The rightwingnuts are still reeling from the beating the FDR gave them. And now, they are trying their best to forget the recent beating the President Obama has twice given them.
Sorry, PC and all, you are not going to be allowed to take this nation back to the 19th Century.
Oh, grow up. Who thinks it is mainstream to kill cops? Most of us believe in God, and it is the constitutional right to not believe in God, right, Spoonman? Nobody but idiots believe young girls should be raped, today or in the 19th century. We decline because the reactionary far right does its best to hold the US down. We don't want to go back to slavery, ageism, sexism, child labor, and etc.
Grow up.
We have had ''douche bags' in all decades, Spoonman.
Who is telling you when and where to exercise your faith? You simply can't infringe on your neighbor in tax-supported public places.
I own guns, and Obama, although he doesn't like the 2nd A, can't get around it.
I agree the far left radicals and the far right reactionaries have to be pushed down so we can all enjoy our civil liberties.

I'm not trying to point out that Republicans were any more racist than Democrats. However, beginning in 1960's the GOP got a big boost when southerns began voting Republican, first in national elections and then state and local elections.Southern Democrats fraught to keep segregation alive. Northern Democrats did not. In fact their support of blacks cost them the South. Both Republicans and Democrats have strongly supported the EPA until recent years.How about the end of slavery? Or how about the end of racial segregation which the Democrats fought tooth and nail against? Or how about the EPA? Nixon of all people brought the EPA and NOAA into existence.
If you're going to remain an ignorant twerp do it somewhere else.
"In fact their support of blacks cost them [Democrats] the South."
Utter nonsense.
No doubt you learned same at the feet of a Liberal school marm.
1. Liberal neurotic obsession with this apocryphal notion- it’s been cited hundreds of times in the NYTimes- is supposed to explain why Democrats can’t get nice churchgoing, patriotic southerners to vote for the party of antiwar protesters, abortion, the ACLU and gay marriage.
a. They tell themselves it’s because they won’t stoop to pander to a bunch of racists. This slander should probably be the first clue as to why southerners don’t like them.
b. The central premise of this folklore is that anyone who votes Republican is a racist. Pretty sophisticated thinking.
2. Second, the South kept voting for Democrats for decades after that 1964 act. And, btw, Democrats continued to win a plurality of votes in southern congressional elections for the next 30 years…right up to 1994.
"GOP Poised to Reap Redistricting Rewards" by Michael Barone on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent
a. Between ’48 and ’88, Republicans never won a majority of the Dixiecrat states, outside of two 49-state landslides. Any loses in the South are directly attributable to their championing abortion, gays in the military, Christian-bashing, springing criminals, attacks on guns, dovish foreign policy, ‘save the whales/kill the humans environmentalism….certainly not race!
b. Rather than the Republicans winning the Dixiecrat vote, the Dixiecrats simply died out. By contrast, Democrats kept winning the alleged “segregationist” states into the ‘90’s. If states were voting for Goldwater out of racism, what of Carter’s 1976 sweep of all the Goldwater states?
Covered fully in "Mugged," Coulter.
Hint:
Know why they were called 'Dixiecrats,' not 'Republicrats' or 'Dixiecans'?
Did you know that Senate Democrats blocked every anti-lynching bill the Republicans offered?
True story.
Too late for you to learn?

The shift from Democrat to Republican in the South began in the mid 1960s with the civil rights act, first presidential elections, then gubernatorial elections and finally the legislatures. However it all began with the passage of the civil rights bill.
In presidential elections:
After reconstruction and prior to the introduction of the civil rights act, the southern states voted for Democrat presidential candidates in 95% of the elections. In fact several states, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina had never voted Republican after reconstruction until the Civil Rights Act was passed.
After the introduction of the civil rights bill, almost every southern state voted Republican in presidential elections with the exception of the Carter and Clinton election. Alabama and Mississippi have never voted for a Democrat presidential candidate since the civil rights bill was passed.

In gubernatorial elections, the South started turning to Republicans in 1966 with Republican wins in Arkansas and Florida, followed by Kentucky in 1967, and North Carolina in 1973. Beginning in 1980, the remainder of the Southern states began electing a steady stream of Republican governors.

The VICTORS divided the spoils, folks.
That is what PC is bitching about.
It confuses her that the soviets occupied much of Eastern and central Europe.
She imagines that somehow England and the USA were supposed to drive the Soviet troops out of those nations\.
She imagines that they could have, I suppose.
Spoonman understands that communism and Russian traditional imperialism drove the USSR desire to put as much conquered territory as possible between Mother Russia and the West.
You can say a prayer in any public classroom in America as long as you don't infringe on your neighbor or disrupt the educational process.
Radical, generally association with the left and liberal positions.
Reactionary, generally associated with the conservative's far, far right.
If we help the reactionaries of the far right to win primaries, we in the GOP will lose elections, then watch what Dear Leader will do.

a major flaw in FDR's policy don't you think? How could he have missed this and allowed the perfect situation for stalin's land grab to exist? He gave him the situation which would be the kick off point for future wars, future loss of American lives, the start of the cold war, countless dollars and time spent trying to combat it. that simple oversight of communism and Russian traditional imperialism cost the rest of the world a countless sum. one of the major failures in modern political policies.
