Another anti-Southern bigot is heard from. This is the dream of the secular-progressives, btw.

I didn’t get past the first paragraph or so, the author is a bonafide ignorant f*ckwit.

Richard Dortch -— he has no clue what is happening “up North” among Republicans

OTOH we know all about RINOS from all over the South.

[Popman]

Good-ole-boy Republicans from the South are an entirely different genus. Typically poor or working class, less educated, mildly paranoid; these are the "angry white males" who listen to right-wing talk radio and respond reflexively to hot button social issues. Southern Republicans don't give a hoot about fiscal policy or foreign relations. They want to know where you stand on guns, gays and God.

This is so stupid and off base, it's beyond a cogent response

“Southern Republicans don’t give a hoot about fiscal policy or foreign relations.”

What a stupid thing to say.

[neverdem]

It’s the left’s wet dream. Let them dream.

Another 'dead tree' media jackinape regurgitates.

[freekitty]

After I quit laughing; what the devil is this guy talking about except some phony stuff he expects us to believe and divide us?

[Zionist Conspirator]

So . . . this means liberals don’t like poor or working-class people?

[lilylangtree]

Man oh man, I couldn’t get past the first 4 paragraphs without thinking what is the dweeb writing about. He knows nothing, absolutely, nothing about what he’s ranting about.

[james500]

Now that the message has been completely discredited, I’m curious about the messenger. Is this the same Richard W. Dortch that did some federal prison time for defrauding Praise The Lord congregants back in the 80’s?

[JSDude1]

once again another southern (anti-southern) biggot is heard from you are RIGHT! Why did you even post this TRASH!?

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

The view on immigration among Southern Republicans could not be more different. Tinged with classic Southern racism, the good-ole-boy Republican considers the immigrant worker a threat to American sovereignty.

Wow. What a jerk. "classic Southern racism", huh.

[xtinct]

And when the author is not writing this drivel, he spends his time holding his... ummm against a wall, like this

Typical liberal puke ward

[goldstategop]

There's some truth to it. Northern Republicans are liberals who care mainly about controlling federal spending. Southern Republicans are conservatives who are passionate about a raft of cultural issues: faith, guns, and immigration. They are as different as day and night. The only thing has united them in the past is an aversion to the Democrats.

[Joya]

Sounds like the author hates BOTH the so-called classes of Republicans (northern prep-schoolers and southern down home boys).

“It is now time for America’s 11 Southern States to SECEDE from the Union” =

WALTER CRONKITE publically stated in a Year 2000 speech before a London World Conference. The same WALTER CRONKITE that’s pushing hard now for a President HILLARY in our future, thus damning it.

Richard W. Dortch of Jackson is an independent producer and audio engineer.

“Need further evidence? Look at the GOP presidential candidates. Frontrunners Giuliani and Romney are classic Northern Preppie Republicans. They are gay-tolerant, support reasonable gun control measures and acknowledge (or have acknowledged) a woman’s right to control her own uterus.”

“These positions are utter anathema to Good-ole-boy Republicans, who revel in truck-and-gun culture and see homosexuality as a bigger threat to national security than rising sea levels. Only Fred Thompson appears ready to hit all the notes Southern Republicans want to hear. Thompson’s campaign attests to the looming disconnect between Northern and Southern conservatives.”

Notice that he basically singled out Thompson as being the empitome of a Southern Conservative. Fred must scare the bejebbers out of the “elitist left” this guy represents.

However, there is a “grain” of truth about the disconnect. Although I’m not sure it is necessarily a North vs South one. For instance, the current President Bush is what the writer calls a “Northern Preppie”, but he doesn’t support abortion, homosexuals and gun control. So the stereotypes are horrible inconsistent here.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

From what I can discern, we’ve never been together. If it weren’t for the South, the Free Republic wouldn’t be so free.
