One More Fabrication: “The Southern Strategy”

[PoliticalChic]

Republicans say it was democrats who owned slaves but today it’s republicans who worship Robert e lee and fly confederate flags...and go to kkk rally’s.

And you say there was no flip? Learn history lady and not revisionist

Don't worship Lee but do acknowledge his place as one of the greatest strategist in history you would have to be totally ignorant of history not to. If your family is from the South you likely have ancestors who fought in the Civil War. My Great, Great, Grandfather served with the 57th Alabama Infantry regiment, he did not own slaves. If I was to exercise my right to free speech and fly the Confederate battle flag it would be to honor my ancestor and that has fuck all to do with slavery. The KKK is not the power it was back when its members were exclusively Democrat.

I am southern and have family members that fought in the war to.

I was born in a hospital in Richmond four blocks from where Lee lived on Grace St.

The KKK was started as a terrorist group by ex confederate soldiers. Who later enlisted Nathan Forrest as their leader. He quit a short time later because even he couldn’t stomach who these low life’s were.

Lee was the only one his family that sided with the confederacy. All of his other family members did not.

He wasn’t that brilliant of a strategist as he should have never went into Pennsylvania, which split his Army and cost him the war. He could have occupied Washington DC, and forced Lincoln to sign a truce which he would have done, because of the pressure from northern abolitionists and news papers at the time that were afraid of a confederate invasion.

Thomas Jackson on the other hand was a brilliant strategist and the most feared confederate general of the war. He never lost a battle, and his death prompted the meeting with Sherman Grant and Lincoln at City Point to press for a final push to win the war for the Union.

The political parties since that time have completely flipped, as the Dixiecrats would not accept Eisenhower’s or Johnson’s segregating of public schools in the south, and the Civil Rights Act by Johnson sealed that And the Southern Strategy became a campaign strategy by Nixon to win in 1968 which morphed into his law and order strategy in 1972

"The KKK was started as a terrorist group by ex confederate soldiers."


Painful as it is to you, we can be more accurate:

Liberal historian Eric Foner writes that the Klan was “…a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party…” Foner, “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,” p. 425



Everything I post is factual, and documented.



"The political parties since that time have completely flipped..."

False, but proves you to be an ignorant government school grad.

Minorities are far more likely to look at what they actually see, such as a President who pretends not to know who David Duke is.
.

I really don't know who Dave Duke is. Sure, I know he's a contributor at CNN and the other mainstream media news sources, and they roll him out of his retirement when they are looking to embarrass President Trump or other Republicans.

But, really, he's a non-entity, as he has basically Zero followers, and Mr. Duke keeps his tax returns pretty much secret. My guess is that the gentleman gets most of the means needed for his support from the Lame Stream Media and/or the DNC. But really, when it comes down to it, the public doesn't really know who Duke is or why the Liberals try to make it seem like he's "important" and mandatory to respond to.

Of course, problem #1 is that the Democrats cannot provide a single example of an explicitly racist pitch in the campaign. There never was one.

Big issues were school integration, school bussing to achieve integration and law and order, all of which had racial overtones. Of course there were no explicit racist pitches, that would have been political suicide, but those issues and others contributed heavily to turning the Democratic south Republican.

Let's review real history for your benefit:

1. The Democrats are, and have always been, the party of slavery, segregation, and second-class citizenship, the party that stood in schoolhouse doors to block black school children….until Republicans sent in the 101st airborne

2. It is the party of Jefferson Davis, the KKK, Planned Parenthood, concentration camps for American citizens, and restrictions on free speech.

3. It is the party of Mao ornaments on the White House Christmas tree, and of James Hodgkinson, and of Communist Bernie Sanders, of pretend genders.

4. The Democrat Party is the oldest racist organization in America, the trail of tears, the author of Jim Crow and the bigotry of low expectations, filibustered against women getting the vote and killed every anti-lynching bill to get to Congress

5. The Democrat Party is the number one funder of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran….to the tune of $100 billion to the Ayatollahs….and gave Hezbollah the go-ahead to sell cocaine in America.

6. It is the party of anti-Semitism and Louis Farrakhan, and of the first Cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of Congress.

7. It is the party that admits its future depends on flooding the country with illegal aliens, and telling them to vote.

8. It is the party that couldn't suck up to the Castro Brothers enough, and treats the Bill of Rights like a Chinese menu..

9. The Democrats got us into the Civil War…Jefferson Davis .... Woodrow Wilson, WWI….FDR, WWII……Truman, Korean War….VietNam, JFK and LBJ…..yet they want to weaken our military.

10. The Democrats are the party that looks at the mayhem their gun laws have produced in Chicago, ……and this is their model for the nation.

11. I should mention that the Democrat Party was used as a model by Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party….another ‘feather’ in the party’s cap?


All accurate and totally true.

You should take notes.

The Modern leader of the White Supremacist movement is Richard Spencer. If the name is familiar to you, it should be if you are a liberal.

The man is a self admitted socialist and one of the chief founders of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, which attempted to enact change by desecrating on our nation's police cruisers. Documented digitally, they were actually defecating on NYPD cruisers.

Disgusting, and it has nothing to do with President Trump, who uses regular indoor plumbing for this kind of activity.

A vast majority of American adults know that.

On other threads they'll tell you that racism isn't an issue any more. All one can do is observe at this point.

"...they'll tell you that racism isn't an issue any more."
Can you give a few examples of where it is?
No?
Of course you can't, fence-sitter.

See?

As soon as you were challenged on your contention.....off you scurry with your tail between your legs.


Good little fence-sitter.

Whatever you like, hon.

What I like is proving you the one-dimensional fence-sitter too dumb and too cowardly to ever take a position, and defend it.

You've been a great help in that endeavor.

Let me ask you this. If someone at H&R Block leaked Dave Duke's tax return and his principal source of income was from the Media and DNC, would it surprise you? In your opinion, should that kind of information be suppressed by the media if a whistle blower came forward?

Although the phrase "Southern strategy" is often attributed to Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, he did not originate it[15] but popularized it.[16] In an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, Phillips stated his analysis based on studies of ethnic voting:

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.[1]​

Southern strategy - Wikipedia

 

[Skylar]

In order to hide their racist background, the Democrats/Liberals have developed a story line that the party created to end slavery somehow decided to ‘flip’ and become an endorser of racism….and then engaged in a ‘Southern Strategy’ to win the racist vote in the South.

Bogus.

Time to blow up that lie.





1.The facts are simple: The Democrat Party has always been the party of slavery, segregation, and second class citizenship.
To obfuscate this and fortify it, the Democrats have largely used lies and violence.

One truly sophomoric attempt has been the ‘flip flop’ pretense, that a century after the Civil War, still sulking because the Republicans pried their slaves away from them, they tried to claim that the party formed to fight the Democrats and slavery, suddenly became the racists.

The lie is easily defeated by asking any reliable Democrat voter what the chances are that they would suddenly become Trump supporters.




2. Unable to comprehend that Southern Americans are not the racists that the Democrats are, they had to find some explanation for their ancient base, the South, turning to vote Republican. Sooo….they claimed that Nixon campaigned as a racist to gain the Deep South, to win over the Dixiecrats and segregationists to the Republican fold.

Of course, problem #1 is that the Democrats cannot provide a single example of an explicitly racist pitch in the campaign. There never was one.



3. “The two biggest issues in the 1968 campaign were the Vietnam War…and the anti-war movement….

Nixon campaigned on a strong anti-communist, law and order platform. While embracing the welfare state- Nixon was no conservative on domestic issues- he also railed against what he termed ‘the excesses of bleeding heart liberalism.’” "Death Of A Nation,” Dinesh D’Souza, p. 203




4.”Liberal neurotic obsession with this apocryphal notion- (that Southern Strategy) 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.

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.

The central premise of this folklore is that anyone who votes Republican is a racist. Pretty sophisticated thinking.”
Coulter, Mugged



Soooo....what happened to the Southern voter?

They behaved as good Americans, refused to support racist Democrats, and the racist voters aged out....and died.

Rectitude and Republicans won out.

Nixon's political strategist is a far better source on the Southern Strategy than D'Souza.

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.

http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/books/phillips-southern.pdf

With even Bush's campaign manager recognizing that it as republican party policy to exploit racial tensions.

Republican candidates often have prospered by ignoring black voters and even by exploiting racial tensions [...] by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African-American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out. Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.

RNC Chief to Say It Was 'Wrong' to Exploit Racial Conflict for Votes

Which of course, you know. Which, of course, you've read. But really hope we haven't.

As always, your arguments rely on the ignorance of your audience.

7. Let’s blow the Democrat lie about a ‘Southern Strategy to get the racist vote’ out of the water.


Time to see just how 'racist' Nixon and the GOP were during that 'Southern Strategy' farrago.


“Tom Wicker, the progressive columnist for the New York Times, gave his appraisal of Nixon’s desegregation efforts. “There’s no doubt about it—the Nixon administration accomplished more in 1970 to desegregate Southern school systems than had been done in the 16 previous years or probably since. There’s no doubt either that it was Richard Nixon personally who conceived, orchestrated and led the administration’s desegregation effort . . . .That effort resulted in probably the outstanding domestic achievement of his administration.”

The Nixon Administration went even further, putting into effect the nation’s first affirmative action program. Dubbed the Philadelphia Plan, it imposed racial goals and timetables on the building trade unions first in Philadelphia and then throughout the country. Basically, Nixon moved to kick in the closed union door and to force racist Democratic unions to admit blacks.

The progressive legal scholar Neal Devins admits that Nixon’s Philadelphia Plan is “the genesis of affirmative action in government contracting and arguably all federal affirmative action programs.” The Switch That Never Happened: How the South Really Went GOP - American Greatness

a. Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.

b. Calloway appealed to the Supreme Court….but the court upheld the legislature’s decision.

c. On that very Supreme Court was former KKK member Justice Hugo Black.

d. Democrat Hugo Black was Democrat FDR’s first appointee, in 1937. This KKK Senator from Alabama wrote the majority decision on Korematsu v. US; in 1967, he said ‘They all look alike to a person not a Jap.” Engage: Conversations in Philosophy: "They all look alike to a person not a Jap"*: The Legacy of Korematsu at OSU

e. And, Hugo Black's anti-Catholic bias, which showed up in his actions on the Supreme Court:

"... Black was head of new members for the largest Klan cell in the South. New members of the KKK had to pledge their allegiance to the “eternal separation of Church and State.”... Separation was a crucial part of the KKK’s jurisprudential agenda. It was included in the Klansman’s Creed..."
Egnorance: Hugo Black and the real history of "the wall of separation between church and state"

f. Liberal historian Eric Foner writes that the Klan was “…a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party…” Foner, “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,” p. 425


g. "The night riders move through the darkness, white against the black road....they go about their business, their horsed draped, guns and bullwhips banging dully against saddles.

....this is the South Carolina of the 1870s, not of the turn of a new millennium, and the night riders are the terror of these times. They roam upcountry, visiting their version of justice on poor blacks and the Republicans that support them, refusing to bow to the requirements of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments."
From the novel "The White Road," by John Connolly




4. 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland.

5. 1957- Democrat Sam Ervin, another liberal luminary, instrumental in the destruction of anti-communist Republicans Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon, told his fellow segregationists, and who led the Watergate investigation, said of the 1957 civil rights bill: “We’ve got to give the goddamned ******* something. We’re not gonna be able to get out of here until we’ve got some kind of ****** bill.’ Robert Caro, “Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson,” xv.
