This is not about DEM or REP this is about common sense.

Ah Yes The Confederate Flag.. It has reflected Democratic racial oppression since it was stitched together in 1861, and has been hoisted by Democrats ever since.

Another Inconvenient Truth they will never mention.

Heels, it's a valiant effort but you can't fix stupid. Sig is like a lot of folks these days who have no use for facts. They get their "news" from right wing talk shows and like sites on the Internet. I'm not saying the Left doesn't have problems but the RWNJ in this country are downright scary.

Sig here is a little more history for you.



The moves by President Truman sparked the spread of equality in the South and left Southern white Democrats with a feeling that their party was abandoning their racist � and oppressive � system of beliefs.

Over the next decade, more and more Democrats began to embrace equality, passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And while more African Americans began to vote for Democrats, in the late-1960′s a new Republican strategy was put into place�the "Southern strategy." This was a plan was that was first popularized by Richard Nixon.

What the "Southern strategy" essentially does is it identified the fact that African Americans were voting for Democrats, therefore Republicans decided they would make white voters more aware of this fact in hopes of driving the "white vote" towards the Republican party.

Doubt me? Let's look at a comment from a 1970′s interview in the New York Times with Richard Nixon's political strategist: "From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that�but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."

Essentially it was the Republican party saying, "Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans�the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks."

Also, don't ignore the fact both parties pushed for the removal of the flag in SC. It doesn't matter who flew it, its time to move on.
