Likewise, Jimmy Carter, Cynthia McKinney and Ray Nagin can all be said to be your southern brethren. And considering all three are, or started. as Democrats, their linkage to the Confederacy is much greater than that between the northern Democrats to Lincoln and his Republican associates. Jefferson Davis to Cynthia McKinney, the tradition of southern Democrats.
The two parties have switched idealogically, everyone knows that. With Dodd, etc. they are proud of their Yankee past. McKinney et al would rather die than honor anything conservative and southern.

You've got to be kidding. Today's Yankee Dems are mostly the descendants of the Yankees who elected Lincoln. The people who elected Cynthia McKinney and Ray Nagin are the descendants of the people enfranchised by the Yankee Carpetbaggers. Are you seriously trying to claim they were elected by us rebel flag waving "southrons"? You may have a small point regarding Jimmy Carter, who pretended to be a conservative and was able to bring some southern whites back into the Democrat fold in 1976, but that's about it.
