Geez, you guys have trouble with facts, don't you? But it's understandable. Side effects from the Obama Kool-Aid. Those side effects should wear off when they come to take your guns, or take you away to an indefinite detention camp. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyThat's your cue whirly!
The NRA is the oldest civil rights organization and black people should vote republican if they want to be treated like adults and not wards. It was the GOP that came into existence to end slavery. It was the GOP that gave freedmen the right to vote. It was the GOP that sent the army into the south to challenge the KKK. It was the GOP that voted in a greater percentage than democrats to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It was the Democrats who ran the south,slavery, chaingangs, poll taxes, Jim Crow, go to the back of the bus, don't drink at the "white" fountain, you can't eat at my lunch counter, your black children can't go to this school, and know your place you black politician. The Dixiecrats were in 1948. They were democrats and they stayed democrats. A couple became Republicans 20 years later because the party left them behind. Most of them stayed democrats Originally Posted by JD BarleycornI have finally figured out what is wrong with your mind, why simple facts and the logic they provide you when puzzling over dilemmas escape your grasp and leave you with nothing but pompous bluster! I'm not surprised that it's a simple answer, given the unchallenging nature of its subject: You have missed the last 40 years!
I have to partially defend CuteOldFucker on this one. You guys really need to go back and understand the history of the various parties. For lack of a better way to explain it - they kind of did a flop flop throughout the course of history.Awww, don't get suckered into the silliness vortex of the master of the half-of-a-half truth. The timeline he and his half-witted cousin, JDB, stop just short of the Nixonian Southern Strategy conversion to the "conservative" Southern Democrats to Repbulicans. Flimsy.
I will be picking up the book he referenced from the library this week. Will reserve the 2nd half of my vote depending on what I find out from the book and additional research. Originally Posted by Yoyoma

Looking back on the democrats of yore, JFK would be a Republican today, Harry Truman would be a Republican, Hubert Humphrey sounded like a Republican today when he spoke in the 1960s. Many democrats like Ronald Reagan would be Republicans today or in the 1980s. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornIt's one thing to say it. It's quite another to prove it!
There we go with the $5 Benjis again! Talk about lame! LOL! All hat and no cattle. You're an embarrassment to Texas, BigTurd.I merely asked that JD prove his stupid remark. Are you suggesting that people should not have to factually back up their statements? My request seems fairly simple. Apparently it is still too complicated for a StupidOldFart!
