The black middle class grew a lot during the administration of supposedly racist Ronald Reagan. The Willie Horton thing was not about the man's race, but about him being a "poster child" for the failure of a furlough program Michael Dukakis really dragged his feet to shut down.<br /><br />The GOP has tended to stand for equal rights, while the Dems have played the "race card" by insisting on blatantly racist hiring quotas/preference/goals. If the GOP has "bought" Southern votes by opposing this institutional racism and insisting on racial equality. <br /><br />If you want to see the racist current in the Left come to the forefront, just look at any state when Ward Connnerly starts an initiative to ban racist policies. The leftists end up being the ones who support racism in these fights, while the conservatives fight for racial equality.<br />s<br /><br />(Researching into several places, it also looks hard to put a racial spin on Nixon's "law and order".)dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-6066259688686386462009-10-04T21:57:53.494-04:002009-10-04T21:57:53.494-04:00" and when he blathered on about fictitious &..." and when he blathered on about fictitious "welfare queens"<br /><br />They are quite real, and most of them then, as now, are white.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-53044143507513186972009-10-04T20:12:12.744-04:002009-10-04T20:12:12.744-04:00HAS moved away from.HAS moved away from.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-68382635455018940412009-10-04T20:11:41.360-04:002009-10-04T20:11:41.360-04:00Thank you for that, Michael.

Since then, it has been poured out when and where necessary. (Although George Wallace also manufactured his own distilled brand in 1968 and in 1972, which the GOP bought out, like Pabst buying out Schlitz.) It was there when Richard Nixon talked about "law and order," when Lee Atwater dropped Willie Horton on Michael Dukakis's head, and it was there when kindly old Dutch Reagan kicked off his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, talking about states rights, and when he blathered on about fictitious "welfare queens" and when his administration went to court to defend the tax-exempt status of segregated Southern academies. The difference is that conservatism was usually careful about how it calibrated the amount of accelerant to pour into the conflict. It got so good at measuring the amount that it forgot the simple fact that, sooner or later, the fire can consume the arsonist as well. Now that the national Republican party is solely the province of meathead politicians and radio maniacs, there are "sensible" conservatives who are alarmed by what they see. It should be agreed upon in our politics that these people drift into the wilderness for a while and muse upon where their movement has led them. But the first thing they all should do is apologize to the nation for choosing to take a course 45 years ago in opposition to the transcendant moral issue of America. They prospered through bigotry, and then through a deft ability to package it, and they made the ensuing four decades immeasurably crueler as a result.There's not enough sackcloth in the world for these clowns."8https://www.blogger.com/profile/00897636875216996092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-11366576938326509282009-10-04T12:15:35.421-04:002009-10-04T12:15:35.421-04:00A good idea is a good idea is a good idea.

There is absolutely NOTHING on either site about politics, and generally, 22 year olds don't usually have such strong opinions on these thing.<br /><br />The gadget "FEEDJIT" which appears on the right-hand side of my blog tracks the foreign countries as well as the cities in the US from where people come to visit my blog.<br /><br />No one from Alabama in the last 24 hours has visited this blog. But at around the time the person who used the name CherryTink08 posted, I do see from Feedjit people from Central Islip, New York and Minneapolis, Minnesota, NOT ALABAMA, were here on my blog.<br /><br />I've contacted the young mother who uses the screen name CherryTink08 to verify that she posted a political comment on my blog.<br /><br />I've caught more than a few Righties cheating through plagiarism, and stealing other people's identities and posting under them here.<br /><br />These are usually the same sad people who come here and howl about Mr. Obama's lies.<br /><br />The jokes just write themselves.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
