The senator from West Virginia is a southern Democrat.

In other words, he's a bigot and a racist. The Democrat party
is showing its true colors more and more as they lose power
and become relegated to the political party trash heap.

Thank Mr. Bush's conservative values for destroying the
hypocrite Democrat party.

Amen!

Sad thing is that there are enough people around who share his views
to get him elected to the Senate.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

If you look back in history, the Democrats strongly supported
the KKK until President Ulysses.S. Grant, a Republican, who
ordered troops in to break the back of the KKK.

That was a whole different world back then. If you think the KKK has not
been active & influential... all over the country, and not just the
South... since the days of Ulysses S. Grant, then you need to look
closer. The KKK is still active, and I'll give you three guesses which
candidate they supported in the last election!

One reason why the South switched almost overnight from solidly Democrat
to solidly Republican, back when I was young, is the support that the
national Democratic Party gave to the Civil Rights movement. The
Republicans stepped in where the Dixiecrats stopped. It is no accident
that such avowed racists as Lester Maddox and Jesse Helms were Republican.

True. In fact the worst KKK violence was in retaliation to northern
carpetbaggers exploiting ex slaves *after* Grant took office and as DSK says
continues to this day. In 1960 congress was controlled by a coalition of No.
Republicans and So. Democrats. JFK launched the civil rights movement to
break that up using the supressed black vote. It worked - all the Dixicrats
became Republicans bringing a true 2-party system to the South. Blame it on
Lincoln (c:

I don't think so.

JFK found his liberal adjenda blocked by a coalition of Republicans and So.
Democrats. The latter were elected often unopposed and Blacks were not
allowed to vote. This made them vulnerable to 'carpetbagging'. So JFK
sponsored and assisted the civil rights movement to break up that coalition,
but he did not start it.

Et tu cowboy. How many 100s of pages would it take to cover the subject? Too
many to post so any here are perforce incomplete. "simple minded"? Look in
a mirror. Carpet baggers often used ex slaves to elect local negros whom
they could control ... much like JFKs latter day civil rights leaders did.
Not saying that was necessarily bad mind you but the corollary is certainly
valid.


And JFK's agenda remained stalled through his death. Johnson was able to
push much of it through when he succeeded Kennedy.

...... after JFK's carpet bagging bore fruit, bringing fresh liberal faces to
congress to replace dixicrats.

Not sure I follow you here. You're saying that the Northern firebrands got
the less militant Southern civil rights leaders thrown out and replaced by
the firebrands' puppets imported from the North? That one's a new one to
me,
but I wasn't there at the time.

After the war of yankee aggression rebels (most southern whites) were barred
from office. Northern "Carpetbaggers" rallied recently freed slaves to elect
locals they could control. These locals slapped big taxes on property then
when the rebs couldn't pay, sold it at bargain rates to the carpetbaggers.
The Souths answer was the KKK but 2 wrongs don't make right. That evolved
into the Jim Crow situation and Dixicrats found in the 1950s.

Similarly, JFK encouraged northern college students to go south and get
disenfranchised blacks to elect locals more attuned to his/LBJs adjenda.

Most of the firebrands (Malcom x, H.Rap Brown, et al) went to jail or died.
The peaceful (ie controllable) ones went to congress.
