Dems, It’s Time to Dump Dixie

[4est_4est_Gump]

With Mary Landrieu’s ignominious exit, the Democrats will have lost their last senator in the Deep South. And that’s a good thing. They should write it off—because they don’t need it.

I don’t remember a much sadder sight in domestic politics in my lifetime than that of Mary Landrieu schlumpfing around these last few weeks trying to save a Senate seat that was obviously lost. It was like witnessing the last two weeks of the life of a blind and toothless dog you knew the vet was just itching to destroy. I know that sounds mean about her, but I don’t intend it that way. She did what she could and had, as far as I know, an honorable career. I do, however, intend it to sound mean about the reactionary, prejudice-infested place she comes from. A toothless dog is a figure of sympathy. A vet who takes pleasure in gassing it is not.

And that is what Louisiana, and almost the entire South, has become. The victims of the particular form of euthanasia it enforces with such glee are tolerance, compassion, civic decency, trans-racial community, the crucial secular values on which this country was founded… I could keep this list going. But I think you get the idea. Practically the whole region has rejected nearly everything that’s good about this country and has become just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment. A fact made even sadder because on the whole they’re such nice people! (I truly mean that.)

With Landrieu’s departure, the Democrats will have no more senators from the Deep South, and I say good. Forget about it. Forget about the whole fetid place. Write it off. Let the GOP have it and run it and turn it into Free-Market Jesus Paradise. The Democrats don’t need it anyway.

Well I hope Michael Tomasky will remember, a Southern man don't need him around any how...

We all know the meme that will be the rebuttal, all of the Southern Racists left the Democrat Party and ran to the Republican Party, therefore, the whole South is racist. It's just sour grapes over people who wish to be free voting to reject the NE nanny state.

A few obvious questions: If white Southerners were really so enraged about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and if they switched to the Republican party to express their displeasure, then why did they wait 30 years before making that preference felt in House elections? Why did Dwight D. Eisenhower — a supporter of civil-rights legislation who insisted on the actual desegregation of the armed forces (as opposed to President Truman’s hypothetical desegregation) and federal agencies under his control — win a larger share of the Southern vote in 1956 than Barry Goldwater, the most important Republican critic of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, did two cycles later? Why did Mississippi elect only one Republican governor in the entire 20th century, and that not until 1992? Why didn’t Alabama have a Republican governor until 1987? And why did Louisiana wait 60 years to eliminate its last Democratic senator in favor of a candidate from the party of Condoleezza Rice, Ben Carson, Allen West, Mia Love, Tim Scott, and that not-very-white guy who serves as governor of Louisiana? White supremacy should be made of sterner stuff: Did somebody forget to tell Louisiana state senator and newly confirmed Republican Elbert Guillory that he’s black?

I hope we polarize enough that the south leaves and we no long have to try and force a bunch of police state loving retards not to be so oppressive.

We should let them not have any HC at all....

We should let them dump toxic wast all over each other because anything else is evoll socialism.....


We should let them legislate womenz into the damn kitchen!!

I am overwhelmed by the tolerance, love of diversity, empathy and scholarship about a foreign culture exhibited in this post; it sounds positively xenophobic.

For context, I'd point out that you get overwhelmed trying to calculate the sum of one dollar, one quarter and one nickel.

91 cents! 77 cents! One dollar! Von Mises help me!

Welcome to life under the extremes.

It was the Libs in 2008 who went hunting for them.

The Jack Murthas were of an extraordinary source of embarrassment to them.



I reckon in her reelection bid, Senator Landrieu and her support of the pipeline and other conservative values was pretty cringeworthy too to the royalty of the new-age National Socialist Democratic Party.

That love is gone when that foreign culture is destructive and oppressive to my culture and generally considered a total fuckin' embarrassment by the rest of the country.

Sorry...you can take your corporate goon loving, police state cheerleading bullshit and blow it out your bible thumping ass ya fucking nut.

The US would have been better off if we had let the south go.....

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Perhaps the South feels the same way towards the SW, especially California being reunited with Mexico because of how un-American and Socialistic sanctuary California has become...

Except they wouldn't because in the real world they need our money.....

Socialism is not un-American, you're just a brain washed fuckin' moron who more than likely just screams "Socialism!!" at anything he doesn't like as if it's some kind of synonym for evil. Can you even point out how CA is moar socialist?

BTW last I checked California is not really a SW state as it reaches quite a ways north....

which states have recently lost representatives?

Democrats thought they could continue to marginalize and vilify white males. Tearing down one group to ingratiate ourselves with other groups is not a formula for long term survival.

"Those people hate you, so vote for us."

Look at posts in the forum. That is still the over-arching theme for why you shouldn't vote Republican. Not about what it is that Democrats will do to include you.

The problem is repeating the message doesn't negate the actual words and deeds of men and women of all colors that meet and interact at work and their kids school functions and soccer games.

I abhor the polarization, especially when it is done for cynical political gain.

Blue dogs didn't do that.

We've lost the middle. People who could talk across the aisle.

Everybody load their trebuchets.

Seriously? LOL

Jesus fucking christ the US is doomed as fuck.

Didn't have anything to do with the fact that they are socially/environmentally destructive as hell, want to get rid of child labor laws, ban fun and incarcerate as many citizens as they can for victimless crimes because they love freedumb so much??

Nahh....it was "White males hate you, vote for us." hua? LOL you're officially bat fuckin' shit RW.

You have a better slogan for Democrats? It is that or "vote for us, we will help you belly up to the trough...Yes, you too farms and mega-corps!"

 

[Wrong Element]

I don't believe in giving up on any part of the country, but the history of Southern politics is that there's one dominant party that sees advocating for the interests of white people as its primary mission. Denial of this basic fact is denial of the screamingly obvious.

In states where the number of minorities + white liberals does not approach 50 percent (as it now does in Virginia and Florida, and is getting near that point in North Carolina and Georgia -- which is precisely why those two states are the most frantic about vote suppression), running statewide as a Democrat is going to be a vain effort for the foreseeable future.

I don't envy them, and because I no longer live in Texas, it's not my problem anymore either.

 

[Libsam]

none of them. They just got better ones.

what im asking is...

There's been some population shifts, people fleeing their states. California lost a rep recently, i think Michigan too, and some others. What do these states loosing reps have in common? They aren't as awesome as the southern states!!

Didn't Florida pick up one too?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

What, the South is leaving?


Again?


Last I checked, that didn't work out so well last time.

Again, you're a funny fucker.

And you have great taste in cars.

 

[BotanyBoy]

How about "Vote for us if you don't REALLY want to go back to 1840 or in some cases the dark fuckin' ages."

Then you toss in farms and mega corps as if those aren't both HIGHLY majority GOP dick sucks that the DNC likes to take a lick at every now and then. But go ahead and tell us all about how liberal all the mega monsanto farmers and big box companies are......

You gonna blame DOD/MIC spending on the DNC next too? How about the war on drugs? That's clearly a LW cluster fuck of epic proportions right??

It would be about as fucking silly...

Real DNC money dumps are in education/medical/alt energy industries and the government sectors that support/work with them. So if you want to bash dems for something bash them for trying to get decent HC , renewable/clean energy and a non T-rex riding Jesus based education.

AZ picked up one not too long ago. The states losing population have employment issues, union issues, crime issues, or taxation issues. Often pick any two or three of those. All are run by Democrats.

People focus on the national races but it is the local crooks that can hurt you the most. Cory Booker was a local crook before he became a national crook.

 

[BotanyBoy]

That is just retarded

Oh I'm sorry did the GOP do a 180 in the past 10 min???:confused

Did they push for better HC in the US? Nope...

How about better education? Nope....

Infrastructure? Nope....

How about the exploration of new energy sources? I'm pretty sure they are still fighting that one tooth and nail...

Healthy food production practices? I'm pretty positive they GOP wholly supports RoundUP/Miracle Grown over organics all day long.

So tell me WHAT has the GOP offered up to improve Americans lives???

Anything??

I'm pretty sure they want to prohibit all sorts of petty shit because Bible, then incarcerate sinners for sinning because Moses wrote the US constitution and they want to repeal child labor laws while pushing coal as the best form of energy for the US.

Tell me what is positive about the GOP...I'm open to be sold, show me the benefit.
