“You mean until the New Deal came, and FDR started the “Free stuff for everybody!” bonanza.”

And then we responded with Strom Thurmond, Nixon’s southern strategy, Reagan’s “welfare queens” and Pat Buchanan’s speech at the RNC (which killed off GOP’s landslide chances for good)

Because LBJ had just created the biggest vote buying scheme with Great Society. He even said, “I’ll have those n-words voting Democrat for 200 years!”

What was the GOP to do? Flank the Democrats to the left on handouts? Politely tell Blacks that they should refuse cash transfers, and Affirmative Action hiring policies?

The Nixon/Reagan coalition would have worked just fine if immigration laws weren’t amended that made the border as porous as it is today. Now, we just witnessed the completion its destruction.

The Southern Strategy is largely a liberal myth. Nixon reached out to white collar southerners, the ones who opposed segregation. The racist Democrats were Wallace supporters.
Strom Thurmond actually got black votes.
Reagan’s “welfare queens”
Applies to people of all races. Every word was true. All the left could do was scream racist, because people like you fall for the idea that to denouce welfare is racist.

Pat Buchanan’s speech at the RNC (which killed off GOP’s landslide chances for good)
Hav you read or seen the speech? http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/patrickbuchanan1992rnc.htm
What in it is not standard conservatism?
