He can’t stop talking about the Jews.
-snip-
A survey of Carlson’s programming and rhetoric over the past several years, however, makes abundantly clear that he is indeed very much “obsessed” with Israel and the Jews. Carlson has devoted more time and attention to the Jewish state, which he portrays in a uniformly negative light, than to any other country in the world. He has suggested that Israel and its agents have been behind everything from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the promotion of “white genocide” to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed entrapment of the world’s most powerful men via the trafficking of underage girls. To listen to Carlson’s show is to come away with the impression that Adolf Hitler was misunderstood, that Israel is a country systematically murdering Christians, and that American Jews compose a bloodthirsty fifth column bent on conscripting their Gentile countrymen to fight Israel’s wars.

Since Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, Carlson has become even more brazen in questioning the ethics and loyalty of American Jews. “How did Bill Ackman get so rich?” he asked attendees during an hour-long harangue at a Turning Point USA conference in July, before invoking one of the hoariest of antisemitic defamations. “If you’re getting rich by loaning money to people at incredibly high interest rates, that’s something you’re going to have to talk to God about.” (Ackman is an investor, not a banker.) In an agitated appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast five days before Trump bombed Iran, Carlson rhetorically asked a Jewish-American commentator, “Are you even from here?,” described two Jewish-American media personalities as Israel’s “proxies in the United States,” and raged that Israel “blew up a church in Gaza with my money,” adding, “I’m a Christian, like, no, how about no?”

We never should have gotten IN. THAT is the point.
If only they were Confederate. The Confederates believed in very limited government, a non interventionist foreign policy and balanced budgets.
LOL! The Confederacy wanted a SMALL Government but was forced to defend itself against the largest land army in the world at the time bent on invading their territory. Davis definitely did not trample on states rights anywhere near as badly as Lincoln did. He also did not trample on civil liberties anywhere near as much as Lincoln did.
“People can change their views on things like Reagan did.”
That would work if Reagan had said that he had changed his view on things.
But what he said is “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left me.”
Opportunists switch teams for influence and power. Neocon Bill Kristol being a classic example.

Then we would have had a very nasty guerilla war that would have lasted decades if not longer. The South is too big and has too much mountainous and swampy terrain and too many large forests to put down an insurgency that enjoys much public support. The British weren't able to put down an insurgency in Ireland that lasted for centuries off and on.
It never would have reached that point with Jackson or Polk. The South likely would not have tried it, and if they did, it would have been 10 times worse than Atlanta. You didn’t mess with Jackson.
Good point. Logical.
It absolutely would have gotten to that point and the conflict would have lasted far far longer than Jackson. That's something he ought to have understood given how good he was at carrying grudges.
What WOULD have happened, would have been a SOUTHERN CIVIL WAR. MANY Southernen heros fought for the Union.
I don't buy that. Most Southerners supported secession. They voted for it in several states and elected delegates to do so in others. Those who fought for the union were in many cases disowned by their families.
100,000 Sputherners fought for the Union. A majority in West Virginia, and the Apalachians. Also strong in Notlrtjern Georgia, and Alabama. And more would have been Unionists under Jackson.
I very good statement to make to woo life long democrats.
Flatter them that they were never wrong\mistaken something else happened.
Nothing wrong with changing your mind, new facts, new circumstances new conclusions! That’s not being in principled that’s being rational.
How many copperheads fought for the South?
doubtful that more would have been unionists and the majority of Southerners voted for secession. The popular support would have been for an insurgency.
120,000. Virginia had the most.
It would have been VERY divided, with a Tennessean leading the Unionists.
It would have been divided only in a few areas. Most of the South firmly backed secession.
Yes, in the Deep South. Not in the Upper South. It was South Carolina, that was the troublemakers. And Msssachuets on the other end.
