The south is better off for having lost the Civil War. And America is better for not having lost the south.
We have been occupied for 140 years now; no more blood for cotton.
You forgot to mention how Johnson and Hoover conspired with mob hitment to murder JFK. There's a lot more to LBJ's story. See BLOOD, MONEY, AND POLITICS HOW LBJ MURDERDED JFK by Barr McClellan, one of Johnson's personal attorneys.
The book has faced a virtural backout by the MSM.
"Another is that it is now scarcely conceivable that an American president could be elected who's based in the North East.
That would probably be true even if he was a Republican, and it would be still more true if he (or she) was a Democrat. "
So did Algore in 2000. The southern states will also help weed out McPain in the primaries.
At last, my Confederate dollars are legal tender.
He forgot to mention the increasing socialism and debauchery of the Democrat party. But then that doesn't fit with the leftist paradigm.
"The south is better off for having lost the Civil War."
Yeah, sure. The South got the busybody north with all their liberals and a federal government out of control.
Yeah, that must have been why when Johnson pushed the act he said it will guarantee the Dems black votes for years to come.
The basic premise of this article is so silly that it doesn't surprise me that the writer is ignorant of one of the more famous LBJ comments ever.
That would probably be true even if he was a Republican, and it would be still more true if he (or she) was a Democrat.
And yet the BBC will go "full speed ahead" with puff pieces about Die Schlickfrau's wonderfulness come late next year.
Go figure....
To say nothing of RINO Wannabe President Rudy Giuliani.
LOL!

It was the Southern Democrats who inserted 'sex' into the language of the Civil Rights Act as a ploy to make it untenable, not foreseeing the social repercussions it would unleash.
Lyndon Johnson was certainly the worst president in my lifetime if not for all time. Most of our current maladies from high medical costs (Medicare and Medicaid) to the horrific decline of our inner cities (Welfare) can be traced back to his administration. And then there's Vietnam....
One of my unfulfilled ambitions in life is to travel down to his gravesite on the Perdenales and piss on it.
Confederate diehards are just about as patriotic as a UN worshipping Liberal. If the South had won, we wouldn't be The United States, we'd be two different nations.
I don't know how old you are and how long your can hold it, but you might wait until Carter and Clinton are Satan's butt-boys and then you can make a pretty decent Southern road trip out of it!!
Live in a Southern state for a couple of decades and get back to us on that.

As it is, I still had one of my relatives ask me if I was going to marry "a brown girl". To top it off they were baffled as to why they weren't invited to the wedding. As one of his sons later fell in love, married and now has children with a beautiful Mexican lady, he's changed his tune. It's that or never meet his grandchilren. God works in wondrous ways...
