The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

I suppose I'll be the one who puts  these in here -

The Southern strategy had nothing to do with pandering to racists.

Didn't you read my links?  The Southern strategy had nothing to do with race.  It was about convincing Southern moderates who supported civil rights to fight against the segregationist Democrats by voting Republican.  And it's not ludicrous to point this stuff out.  If Republicans had been the party of slavery and segregation (as many high profile Democrats already suggest in their alternate history), no matter how long ago it was, would you want to support the GOP today?

And if Romney was really using racist "dog whistles", then surely you would have heard more controversy over it in this day and age.

The links in question -

First of all, race may have been a factor in 1964, but it wasn't after that.  And stop making fun of me on the Southern strategy.  Read these articles to prove my point:

Your move, liebirals.

I cannot abide these quotes being lost forever at the end of the previous page.

I'm amazed that he cited WND with a straight face.

Yes fellas.

Also, Hitler was aggravated into invading Poland.  World War II was the fault of the warmongering British. . . . . . .

Only lieberal hacks can deny this!

BRTD, it's becoming fairly clear that Winfield is mostly trolling. Hell, I've always suspected he's a liberal.

BRTD is widely known for taking everything literally.

During my time on this forum, I've been known to ruffle plenty of feathers.  If you are one of those people, then I hope that you will read this.  As nearly all of you who are familiar with me and my posting history know, I am passionate about civil rights and civil rights history.  (But contrary to popular misconception, I am indeed white, not black.)  And in the midst of that I have jokingly said some things that were bigoted and hateful toward Southerners.  Although I must admit that those feelings are real, I would like to apologize for voicing them.  I will try not to continue making such posts, and if I do, please feel free to report me.  Thank you.

I had to bold the best line.

Either way, we must continue to let this live and not succumb to the imposter thread.

We'll never abandon The Deluge.

1866

Antonio V: This is perfect!  We Democrats start the Ku Klux Klan to get rid of all those Republicans, and then, 150 years from now, we pretend that Republicans did all these things!

Welln, it's true.  Democrats are constantly pretending that slavery, segregation, the KKK, etc. either were or are Republican institutions despite the fact that they were all Democrat institutions instead.  If Sigmund Freud examined today's Democratic Party, he would have to conclude that they are denying their party's racist past and projecting it onto Republicans.

GPORTER is a freaking Balzac as compared to this kid:

Horray for a new timeline! Okay, so lets start. Oh, and the reason I'm doing this is to comemerate, and somewhat celebrate MLK Day, by making a timeline! So, enjoy...

1968 MLK is nearly assassinated, soon civil rights activists find James E. Ray, and nearly kill him, but they ask MLK what to do with him, so under MLK's directions, they send him to the Supreme Court of Tennessee, he is later convicted of near murder, thus life in prison, but the African American community doesn't feel like that was enough, so they send him to the Supreme Court, there, he is sentenced to death, but it was to be held after the 1968 election.

1969-1972 MLK has grown in popularity, many people consider for him to run for politics, especially in 1970, he said no, mainly because his seat that he is aiming for isn't up until 1974. MLK still is encouraging, and talking to the African-American community.


questions? corrections? comments? if not, I can continue, oh, and I have a question, should I do this?

Don't feel bad, a Person. It's not like Al hates just you. Al hates everybody.

The Republicans from the 1860s ould be Republicans today  and the Democrats from the old days 1860s would be Liberal Democrats today.

Absolutely they should be if they were around!  And they would be; they never "switched sides", the times (and the meanings of liberal and conservative)  just changed and made Republicans the conservatives and Democrats the liberals.

But it's true.

In the Oldiesfreak world Strom Thurmond was to the left of Robert LaFollette.

Until he had a change of heart and became a Republican because of the Democrats' opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

Yeah, but most segregationists never left the Democratic party.  A few became Republicans, but most did not.

Yeah, but they started voting Republican on national, and then state, levels.

Soon we're going to need separate Krazen Thread.

Technically possible I guess.

You're doing it all wrong

The environment stuff too is ridiculous and out of context. My favorite is the nuclear plants one. "Despite Fukushima disaster", well are these plants being built in areas prone to be hit by tsunamis?

Lol, it's kinda like those who are building homes at polders.

Anyone who wasn't here in 2008 doesn't even know the half of it in regards to how much of a vicious zealot I was back then.

You are beyond redemption.

I'll just say I've laughed far more times at an opebo post than a Shakespeare work. The Professor was another example of a poster that was a better writer.

Wut?

Hillary is about change and the future and expanding minority rights. Jeb is only about resurrecting the Bush name. I think Hillary is electable, Jeb isn't.

Unsurprisingly, Zack took everything literally, again.
