You guys ever look at the 1964 electoral map? There are holes in this Jim Crow/Democrats/Flag unity folks always toss about here. And to compare Radical Republicans of Reconstruction with today's GOP is too farfetched. With all their draconian social engineering relative to that time, they are more like the Pelosis and Schumers of today.

Historical comparables like that are just too flawed. And the latter Dems of the New Deal era who did have strong attachments down South (execpt for their Marxist sub-groups) had pretty broad appeal nationwide. Which speaking of....so did the Democrats in 1860. Lincoln did not win with a majority (39%). The Democrats were not just Southern then. Anyhow....look at Goldwater versus LBJ (southerner) in 1964. So, Who's the Democrats in that one?

Anyone today who allies with South bashers over this flag is allying with the Left or RINOs. It's that simple....unlike controversial history which is a bit more complicated.

NAACP, SPLC, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Kerry's running mate (forgot his name). Strange bedfellows for a conservative.
