The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette snatched the execrable John Brummett from a FREE WEEKLY, if you can believe that!

It may be time for those 11 states to start planning their next escape attempt from the perverted USSA.

[Mouton]

I hope the planning is underway already!

[Jim Robinson]

The South shall rise again!

[central_va]

Using 19th century technology and communications, i.e. the telegraph and steam engine, it took those 11 states ONLY 4 weeks to form their own national government. Think about. (Actually it was only 7 initially, 4 joined later)

[Bryan24]

Yes, the South is rising, but it might have to secede in order to fly.

[Joe Boucher]

Virginia took a hell of a beating last time that happened.
I’d move to Texas if I were you.

[re_nortex]

The South shall rise again!

It already has! It's the one region of the country where Right to Work is solid:

Dixie is truly the land of freedom, liberty and enterprise. Union goons best avoid America's South. Their brand of thuggery and extortion doesn't fare very well down here!

[spawn44]

The people are basically the same. It's the parties that changed. This ain't your daddy's democrat party. This one is controlled by radical anti american socialist democrats who if they dared reveal themselves are FLAT OUT COMMUNISTS. Led by the FOREIGNER. All you have to do is look at his COMMUNIST APPOINTEES to know exactly who this american impostor is.

[houeto]

Thanks for the ping WKB.

Yes, the South is rising, but it might have to secede in order to fly.

Considering the fact that the GOP is laughing at them and they still do as they're told, its petty unlikely they'll be looking for any independence.

[ExCTCitizen]

Now Dixie is going GOP... now we need to work on a few states that were Republican, but now are Democratic. (CT could turn back to the Republican, if the state GOP was strong. Maine is going to be a battleground state, soon, because most people in Maine are fiscally conservative.

It is like this: I am as pleased as anyone could wish with this state of affairs, however comma, there are politicians who need watching closely. Here in Louisiana, there have been a “surprising” number deathbed conversions to the Republican Party as the state democrat party dies. I trust the Tea Party folks are keeping a close and skeptical eye on these “converts”. Those Texas Tea Partiers folks did a bang up job as well as those in a number of other states.
We have some real Rinos who need being taken out.

I wish and hope.

Maybe the south has had enough of the north and those who come down here pushing their fecal agenda, their liberal agenda.

Had one poster last night tell me VA and FL are not southern, I know very bizarre FL also took all the ballot questions including marriage and went conservative but obama was supposed ot have won here, no way did he fairly.

[BobL]

“The rise of Republicans marks the end of white Democrats as the leading political force in the South.”

The Dems love to salivate in the idea that their rag-tag bunch of minorities and malcontents will give them a permanent majority in this country.

What this ignores are trends, like this one, where white elected Democrat Southerners are nearly gone, and soon white Democrat voters will be next.

Then what? Maybe the successful Hispanics don’t stay with the Democrats (they have no reason to). If that - it’s over for them.

In other words, we are FAR from being defeated.

[manc]

mine is fying outsdie and on my vehicles and if those fro the north don’t like it then they can piss off

[ilovesarah2012]

I wish the South would secede. Nothing would make me happier.
