The federal government should have placed the South under martial law for 50 years after the civil war ended. Do what the Allies did the postwar Germany. Southern culture should have been destroyed the same way Prussian militaristic culture was destroyed. Do you see Germans today waving swastikas because of German "heritage"? But the South is still filled with the same attitude, same mindset, same culture, and same resentment.

This socialist liberal is channeling his inner NAZI.

Im torn on re education camps, i honestly think only those that voted twice for W should participate in the re education.

Yeah, but that's just because you're trying to cover up your racism...

This is honestly why we have to fight Liberalism/Progessivism. Because this is how they see you. And they will fight until they win.

I just laugh at them. The far left whacko type like the author are few in number, but vocally loud. They're far away from the mainstream.

He forgot to mentions that democrats were the first to put the boot to Landrieu. They refused to give financial support to her election. They refused to support her Bill to build the pipeline.

If only we could get him to start posting on the Poli Board.

His temper tantrums would make TD history.

For a really interesting(and sane) take on the South's move to Red, take a look at Kevin Williamson's NRO article.

The Democrats, being intellectually dishonest, cling to the myth that the two parties “switched places” on racial issues in the 1960s, that Senator Landrieu’s troubles are a consequence of that reversal, and that the general Southern realignment is evidence that the Republican party is a comfortable home for bigots, Confederate revanchists, and others with dodgy racial politics.

This is a strange line of argument, and an indefensible one once the evidence is considered. Democrats remained the favored party in the South for decades and decades after the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, controlling a majority of governorships, Senate seats, state legislative bodies, etc., well into the 21st century.

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?
