The South is a separate country of patriots, and should be Independent of the Government slave driving north.

I told a lady today I diden’t care about the victims of hurricane sandy because I felt they deserved it. I feel in hinesite that was perhaps a little harsh and certantly non-diplomatic.

But in my heart I know the North for historic reasons deserves much of what Sandy and the subsequent storm has brought upon them. They were not prepared they turned away help simply because that help didn’t happen to measure up to their “high & mighty* standards. They deserve to suffer for their choices. I don’t want one more nickle going to help those slave driving bastards.

Bottom line...the bigger government gets and the more things it touches, the more the Democrats can flex a muscle to compel votes. Look at the newly introduced contraception mandate, added by HHS in February of this year. They add it in, force religious institutions to give birth control to employees (against their beliefs) and then spend nine months crowing about a ‘war on women’. Completely fabricated, and all from a minor tweak to the unlimited regulatory control given to that department of the government. This is not new, but now that health care is controlled by government it will be an endless weapon wielded by the Democrats.

This crosses all colors, sexes, religions, etc. It is frightening...and it works.

whites were just 72 percent of the population in 37 counties without a major university where 40 percent or more of adults hold a Bachelor's degree

That's the most ridiculous statistic I've seen in years. How deep do you have to dig to prove I mean support oh, heck your assumption to make yourself look like a total dope to come up with a number like that?

Asinine.

John Derbyshire touches on this. Here's a brief excerpt from a fairly long but worthwhile read. Written Nov 10, 2012.

____________________________________________________________

05 — The shape of things to come. What about the future, then? Does the Republican Party have a future?

As I have been saying, there is no unity among white Americans. The old splits of education, class, sex, religion, city-country, and of course North-South still divide whites, and that is the basis of most of our politics. The Republican Party is white, sure enough, but whites aren't Republican.

This will presumably be less and less the case as whites head for minority status. At some point the fact of impending minority status will sink in, and whites will begin to sink their differences and circle the wagons. At some point the Lee Kuan Yew principle will take over. I've quoted it before, and I'll quote it again, because it's very quotable in this context. Quote from Lee Kuan Yew, who was Prime Minister of Singapore for thirty years, and the power behind the curtain for a further twenty in that very successful city-state, quote:

'In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion'

I have a problem with the Gutless Old Pretenders:

They are worthless cowards who will turn on us every time it counts.

Our side has to wrestle control away from the media, and get our side out earlier and often. The fact that people made decisions in this cycle on race, and women’s issues is purely absurd. There was literally nothing on the ballot. Millions of voters who are smart enough to know the economy is being suffocated by Washington DC voted for more of it. We have to get our message out around the media, or it will be death of us as a nation.

We have to take back education! the hippies took it over in the 60’s and developed their 40 year plan....we are seeing it’s fruit!

The ‘elite’ intelligensia is ‘guiding’ the administration and the young masses have been brainwashed.

I will speculate that most of those 37 counties include a state capitol or Washington D.C.

Wherever you find a concentration of well educated minorities, you will also find a concentration of government jobs.

And, yes, that is one Orca sized jumble of statistics packed into one sentence.

Ernest - neverdem,

Just click “Post” one time.

If your browser acts like it's still trying to transmit, sometimes for several minutes, the post has actually gone through, 100% of the time, in my experience.

If you're afraid of losing work, open a new window, and bring up Free Republic.

The post has always been there for me.

Then, just close out the “transmitting” window and do whatever you planned to do with the new window instead.

Forgive me for the source, but if the numbers are correct, the problem is working class whites outside the south.

I think the problem might be that Republican candidates are growing increasingly "moderate" (getting further to the left of LBJ).

That makes it tougher to pick up votes, and I know the last two elections, the POTUS candidate came from the bottom 1/3 of my list out of all the primary contenders. Now we are told if we just pick a more socialist candidate we are sure to win, but where is the victory in electing what we are allegedly voting against?

You just can't get the vote out that way, even with Duh-1.

The real suffering occurs down ticket, though, another 3500 R voters (before any recount) and Berg would have likely taken the Senate seat, so picking socialistic candidates instead of strong Conservatives hasn't worked, and has hurt elsewhere as well.
