"Sorry pal, but what you're posting is half truths and flat lies."

Just the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

Let's give credit where credit is due: the Deep South solidly supported Barry Goldwater in 1964. Thank you, sincerely.

But in 1912 and again in 1916 the Solid South went for Progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

In 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944 the Solid South went for Progressive Democrat Franklin Roosevelt.

In 1948 the South failed to solidly support the more moderate Democrat, Harry Truman from Missouri.

In 1952 and 1956 the Solid South went for the Progressive Democrat Adlai Stevenson.

In 1960 the South split again in supporting a more moderate Democrat, John Kennedy.

In 1964 the Deep South mostly voted for Barry Goldwater, though the Upper South and Border States went for Johnson.

In 1976 against Gerald Ford and again in 1980 against Ronald Reagan, the South voted for Jimmy Carter.

In 1992 half the Southern states voted for Bill Clinton, and even in 1996, still 1/3 of them went for Clinton.

The only point here is: the South was always more likely to vote for a Liberal Progressive redistributionist socialistic Democrat for President than any other section of the country.

So let's not hear any more of: the South has always been "more conservative than thou" talk, OK?

Bullshit.

Your post is so full of lies it's hard to know where to start.

The only point here is: the South was always more likely to vote for a Liberal Progressive redistributionist socialistic Democrat for President than any other section of the country.

I will agree that approximately 25% of the South is inclined to vote for liberals. That would be the melanin enriched part of the South, who have traditionally been aligned with the yankees since a certain unpleasantness.

So let's not hear any more of: the South has always been "more conservative than thou" talk, OK?

I thought you were all about truth, bro.

Since you like maps, check this one out:

BTW, the Southern states that are blue on that map have been infested with yankees.

Three questions for ya, bro:
1) Which yankee state are you from?
2) Since the South is so bad, wouldn't the north be better off without us?
3) What do you think the government would be like in the northern states without the South?

What is more conservative than taking a stand on states rights, willing to risk everything for it?
