Liberal talker Thom Hartmann wonders if "Union" forces should re-occupy the old Confederacy.
It seems that for some on the left, the Civil War never really ended. Citing a Politico story slamming southern states, liberal talk show host Thom Hartmann wondered if the United States should "reoccupy the South with Union forces" to restart Reconstruction, Newsbusters reported Saturday.
"Now listen to this in the context of my question -- should we, a) reoccupy the South with Union forces and restart Reconstruction which came to a screeching halt in 187- whatever it was, '74 I think, the election of Rutherford B. Hayes," he said. "He needed one vote in the House of Representatives to win, it was one of those contested elections that went to the House, and the deal he made with the Southern legislators was that if he became president he would pull the Union troops out of the South and basically end Reconstruction."
His other choice was to "just" let Southern states secede from the Union. "Let the Confederate states say you can fly that flag, you can have your own country," he said.
"Just a hunch, but if a person was also inclined to crunch crime stats and unflattering demographics from major cities run by Democrats and compare them to the nation as a whole, the cities would undoubtedly 'skew' America," Newsbusters' Jack Coleman said....

Yep, I just posted to some one else;
If the North South war happened today, the South wins in 6 months.
Come see us Thom!
I was wondering when this would be proposed.
Idiot and 9/11 truther freak to boot.
Should union soldiers occupy sanctuary cities because it look like they don’t want to follow union laws
Never gonna happen...the reality of the pre civil war era no longer exists.
Wait a minute. When did the occupation ever stop? There have never been a time since the civil war when there was no military in the South.
Union forces have currently occupied a number of Southwest states in the Jade Helm invasion.
LOL! BRING IT!!!
Hey, Thom. I hope you are in the lead group coming down to Texas. Just saying.
That time they were called "carpetbaggers."
Va, NC, and Fl are all purple. I’d say the Union is occupying the South.
Hartmann.....another liberal homo weenie who will be introduced to a rope when the SHTF.
I guess this moonbat doesn’t realize that huge numbers of the U.S. military are from former Confederate states!
Well I wonder how long it will be before liberals are outlawed/jailed and we can return to constitutional governance.
Maybe this idiot Harmann should read this link. Not trying to be overly hopeful but some people in the Democrat Party are beginning to worry about the extreme leftward tilt they’ve taken.

How am I to take a liberal named “Thom” seriously?
I know that it’s not relevant how he spells his name. But, gee whiz, sounds like Pajama Boy’s father.
Why bother?
"I didn't convince very many people with my liberal arguments. But I was thrown off the roof of a Holiday Inn last night!"
My exact thought.
i’d rather live in a southern state flying the confederate battle flag over their capitol, than a northern state flying a gay rainbow flag over theirs.
The Jade Helm invasion? Did I miss something? Did Texas, and or Utah get put under Martial Law?
My premise is simple. War breaks out we cut off the North’s food. We can do it easily as they raise and grow very little of their own food.
1 Month and the people in those huge cities in the north will be eating each other. Including DC.
Meanwhile Southerners, and Westerners will be well fed.
