You're an embarrassment to both Mormonism and the US Marine corp.

They must have beat the crap out of you with a pillow case full of soap.

That's easy.....Democrats/Liberals where primarily situated in the South because of their historical ideology of slavery, racism etc., while the rest of the country were still pretty rural, conservative thus Republican. Most population of the country where Eastern, the North still mostly conservative being the values that fought the Civil War against the South, while the South was still mostly liberal.

Then, as populations centers exploded, cities became primarily liberal because of the lowered morals and standards that more rural communities tended/tend to create, thus keeping conservative values. Thus, all the liberal bastions are primarily cities. For example, California used to be mostly conservative, now it's mostly liberal as it became hugely populated. Nevada while most of the state is conservative, because Las Vegas has the highest population the state now ends up going liberal.

Notice how the only place where conservatism is still strong is in the center of the country where there is the least population, thus more rural and traditional. Remember also that even though many states now go liberal, there is still in many a significant conservative population. It's sadly now the states and country is becoming more liberal, not surprising since morality and character is also in decline.

Anyway, what do YOU think the map means???

Ok. Who is the current Bob LaFollette of the Republican party? Name 10 politicians that represent the progressive faction within the Republican party, like one could easily do in the early part of the 20th century.


And that's supposed to be a good thing???

I don't like him, and I'm glad there aren't such people in the party today.
And to be clear, his straw-man judgments of corporations are just as wrong today as they were then, that are also embraced by liberals today. Not that there aren't things that can be improved and modified, but I don't tolerate the generalized unfair demonization to get elected, the pitting of the halves and halve nots, class warfare. It's immoral. There are a small number of more liberal republicans, but fortunately we've gotten most of them out.

Further, note that his was a "breakaway" party, not true conservatives or republicans. Obviously I'm not claiming that some of the legit issues he may have attack were true republicans, they weren't, but still. You don't throw the baby out with the bath water, and you don't join the dark side.

Remember when the gold standard was one of the most important issues of the Republican party? Yeah, I know you don't. But trust me, it was. You might want to look up which party ended that. What happened?


I'm well aware of the Gold standard issue. FYI, I'm not a proponent of the Gold standard.
I believe in the current system, but with some serious tweeks to make it work better and correctly.

Go to Fox Nation sometime. It's basically a Klan rally over there.


As a Conservative, who knows my values, actions, beliefs, and knows those of my fellow conservatives, including Fox News, when a person says that kind of thing, you frankly lose all credibility if you ever had any.

That statment is liberal lying propaganda about Fox, not what actually occurs at Fox.
There are liberals whom I'm friends with and who know me, and wouldn't in a million years accuse me of such. You accuse those I identify with, you accuse me. That makes you a bigot and ignorantly evil, for such a false accusation.

Anyway:

So, out of millions of Conservatives, many of which I personally and generally know, you're going to cherry pick some slightly racist thing and person and paint the rest of us that way???

FYI.... I say "slightly" because I understand it. While in the Marine Corps Combat School, we were on a 20 mile hump. Behind me there was a slightly retarded and pretty weak kid, who had got in because he new someone. Behind him was this black kid, a real jerk. He would often push the retarded kid and say mean things to him. So eventually, I asked him respectfully to leave the kid alone, that it wasn't appropriate, to give him a break. That night, the retarded kid and I were hooch mates. In the middle of the night, I was pulled out of my hooch, held down and was proceeded to be beat on by some 10 black guys, most from other platoons. Turns out, the kid I had asked to knock it off had went around and told other blacks that I was racist. Anyway, later when telling others in my platoon, I called him a "n*****". I wasn't meaning it in a racist way, I was meaning it in a very angry, calling him a scumbag way that applies to him. Never used the word in my life, never thought of blacks that way, had good friends who were black, etc. So, I can understand how someone might be very angry with Obama, and would make a play on the word. In this contest, it's not appropriate, and is over the line, thus more racist in connotation, but I understand the anger.

Anyway, still doesn't change the point, that Republican's aren't the racists, simply because someone might be. I won't condemn all Liberals simply because you have pedophiles among you, or any number of groups that are slimy.

Edit:

Aw man. I almost missed the chance to shoe-horn in a link to an awesomely racist ad. Fortunately, I didn't miss it:

Frankly, the only thing I saw that was slightly "racist" was the Hahn lady's comment in the video. Otherwise, it was simply a standard rap video mocking liberals, and it was clearly created by blacks. Not a single thing racist otherwise. Makes a lot of sense you know, blacks being racist against themselves??? Use your brain will you.

You are acting the predicable liberal, creating racism where there is none.
It's the same as you guys creating "racism" from most of the tea party signs that were simply "offensive" or "provocative" but not racist in any way..... well, at least they weren't when liberals used the same signs and themes against Bush..... turns out of all the tea party all these years, liberals have only found like maybe 3 signs that were actually racist and wrong.....

Ya, those "racist" Republicans..... 3-20 maybe out of millions!!! Means THEY ALL "RACIST"!!!!

by the way, there are black conservatives..... Here's a couple of my favorites.

In case you guy's couldn't understand the "blocked" word in my post.

And FYI, as to my grammar mistakes, when you write a lot, it's late, etc., there are going to be some errors. I'm not writing a term paper here you petty little bigots.

I'm impressed that a Marine knows how to spell any thing bigger than a CVC word (consonant-vowel-consonant)

Usually marines treat each other with great respect and love. You must have been a huge douche to have so many fellow brothers in the core attack you.

You people clearly don't know how to read.....

1. A r e t a r d e d kid was being picked on by a black man, I simply asked him to leave the kid alone (ya, that makes ME the "douch") idiot bigot! :(

2. The jerk black man in order to get back at me for not minding my own business, went to other platoons and told other blacks that there was some racist, and got them to come pull me out in the middle of the night and beat on me.

3. I had never said or did anything racist, nor was I a "douch" in any way. I was well liked my nearly everyone. In fact, the entire platoon when they heard what happened was pissed off at the guy and even wanted to beat him up themselves, but I calmed them down, first for picking on the disabled kid, and second for what they did to me. FYI, a couple of months later the punk tried to come up on me in the squad bay after I showed and tried to hit me from behind, again like the coward he was, but I saw him coming, moved to the side when he swung, and slammed his head against the locker.

4. So, can you people comprehend now??? It's really fascinating to me, how someone tells a story of defending the weak and innocent, and yet in your all's eyes because of your hate and bigotry, you still mock, condemn, think I'm crazy, racist, etc. You people truly do have a mental/moral disorder.

5. One other thing.... This sadly is a common behavior among blacks. There are story's after story's of black young men and women gang beating people simply because they look or talk to them, etc. The Travon Martin case was such an example but one on one. A punk didn't like what some white/Hispanic guy was looking at him, so he decided to beat the crap out of him. Unfortunately for him, that white/Hispanic guy was armed.

Anyway, just a fact of life..... There are more blacks in jail for a reason, and it's not because of racism. If anything it's liberal morality and policy making blacks a new kind of slave, and making everyone else the 'boogyman' such as whites, and Republicans.
