That's what I thought Skipper.  You got a lot of mouth but no facts or truth.  

Next time you want to impugn my character, saying I groveled to Herb, and questioning my integrity, you might want to get your facts straight Skipper.    

Now then, I can't really remember why Herb "tossed me".  I do remember telling others in PMs that I would most likely get thrown out on my ear, and I did.

I know that Rod went whining to Herb again because I told Rod where to go, and perhaps Herb got tired of listening to Rod's complaints and thought it was just easiest to remove me.  

I had no problem with that.  It is Herb's site and I respect his wishes along with his actions.  

Herb holds the cards, it is his website and he makes his decisions and I can live with that. 

You know what I think of you though don't you?

Oh I think it did. I think you ran to him again, urging him to toss me as you did the first time.

I can't prove that and I really don't care at this point.  

You're the same person you've always been.  Just a tool of the leftist Democrats. 

The left uses cowardly tactics in everything they do, like the Cancel culture they engage in regularly because like you, they have no use for the 1st amendment nor any other part of the Bill of Rights. 

They are all about power and using the Strong arm of Gov't to invade the liberty of every American who doesn't conform to their totalitarian tactics. 

Every right they can trample upon, they do, because these  Marxist Democrats want complete control of all branches of gov't and they want to shut down free speech as much as they can.  

You're just a useless cog in their wheel who would kiss Nancy Pelosi's ring if she commanded you to.

And the way I see it is that whenever Rich is challenged on his original premise and shown that he is wrong, he always devolves into intellectual dishonesty by engaging in strawman arguments and accusing others of offenses as a way of deflecting attention away from his errors.

The other odd thing is that he and you think that any of us have any obligation to try and counter his so-called facts, especially when those "facts" have nothing to do with the original assumption of his post. Let's be clear. I have no obligation to change his mind on anything. And whether we choose to engage his walls of blabber and obfuscation has nothing to do with the fact that he was wrong about the farm-aid bill and entirely bought into the misinformation and propaganda that the DailyWire peddles routinely.

The title of the thread IS what I made it, which is the racist Biden Administration and the racist Democrat party over the centuries.  Does that click with you?

Apparently, you don't get it.  I didn't change the topic, I made the topic. Get it?

So there wasn't any diversion or mistake by me as you're implying, I used the Farm Bill knock down by 3 different judges, to cement a point about the Racism of the Democrat Party over the decades.  

That was the subject of my posting.  Look at the body of my posting. 

So there is NO straw man, because I dictated the subject.  Wow, your brain power is just something to behold at time.  

And since you claim that the Daily Wire article is misleading, go and explain what was misleading in the article.

My guess is that you'll be scratching your head.

I have never brought this up to try and absolve Southern Democrats of any of their sins. I have challenged Rich's narrative, though that the Democratic party of today is the party of the Southern Democrats.  This narrative is quite simply wholly false. Even during the civil war period, the Democratic party consisted of more than Southern Democrats. It also included progressive Northern Democrats, that were anti-slavery, but somehow Rich never wants to talk about them. It's closer to the truth that the modern-day Democratic party is the descendants of progressive Northern Democrats. Southern Democrats, except for POC, whose descendants still reside in the cotton belt, essentially switched to the Republican party during the civil-rights era. This fact is not even controversial among most professional historians. All you have to do to understand it is see how electoral maps in the South changed over time.

But since you seem to think we are obligated to counter all of Rich's false narrative about the modern-day Democratic party, let's look at another one. For instance, his charge was that Democrats and specifically FDR were wholly responsible for Japanese internment camps. FDR indeed signed the executive order that allowed the eventual creation of the internment camps, but there is a lot more to the story, of course.

• Military leaders and high-ranking officials in Congress urged FDR to sign the executive order and argued it was necessary for our security.

• There was a lot of fear-mongering about Japanese citizenry from the US government and the media.

• The leading architects and executors of the policy were members of the US military and Congress, not FDR.

In short, the internment of Japanese citizens during world-war 2 was deeply wrong, and in fact, the US government has officially apologized for it and paid reparations for it. But, it is not wholly the fault of Democrats. The policies architects and implementers were indeed not Democrats in many cases and were not motivated by politics. In short, the truth is not as black-and-white as Rich always seems to want to make it. The real world is nuanced, subtle, and complex. Something that Rich never seems to get or understand.

If you mean name Southern Democratic politicians who switched parties after the Civil Rights era, that's easy enough. They do exist, such as Strom Thurmond. Even Ronald Reagan switched from a New Deal supporting Democrat to a Republican in 1962. But it's true many of the powerful Southern Democrats that opposed the civil rights acts did not switch. And why? They would have had to give up their positions of power and become neophytes in the Republican party. What happened to the most notable powerful Southern Democrats who opposed civil rights? A half-dozen or more didn't run again after 1964, and some of them died before re-election was possible.

However, party realignment is about much more than politicians switching parties. Focusing solely on Southern Democratic politicians who did not defect and leave the party intentionally misses the point about party realignment on race and civil rights. The realignment of the constituency is probably the most important part of the story, which you can see for yourself easily if you merely look at electoral maps over time. Further, focusing only on Southern Democratic politicians completely ignores the role progressive Northern Democratic politicians had in making the civil rights era successful. Denying party realignment based on the defection rate of Southern Democratic politicians is a monstrously incorrect conclusion.
