Staunch atheism is a family tradition
james, I live in the dakotas. after the civil war, the american army sent Custer, an ex conferedate soldier and democrat, to pacify the native people. My family came a decade after a confederate did a light genocide of the native peoples here. My family had no part in the decision to do this, or participated in doing this. I am not going to defend or equate republican/conservative values to the south that started the democratic party and who people of color equate me to being similar to because I share the same skin color as Custer
@SPEARS also I read and vote conservative material all the time. It’s just spouting impulses and marketing to the Limbic system. It’s all the liberal are coming, there is a reason of the people that take Alex Jones serious to they all tend to be conservatives
false equivalency james
As is a disdain for government
Southern values are conservative values. Parties are irrelevant it’s just about liberals and conservatives. Back then republicans were the liberals and the democrats represented southern conservative values. As I said today’s liberal is tomorrow’s conservatives @SPEARS
Is it possible that the level of drone use did not appreciably increase under Obama as those types of decisions regarding tactics and such are not necessarily handled at that level. And, if that is the case, it appears that Obama "went crazy with drones" because he was more transparent about it?
Actually not too long ago most of the South was Democrat
Ah yes, the southern strategy theory.

@busillis I had to break family tradition in order to develop both.
@busillis when I lived in NC there was a church every block. Imagine one Starbucks surrounded by 10 churches
Pray tell, when was the 'flip'?
That's where the authoritarian piece comes in
Firearms come out
I suggest we are in the middle of a flip right now, actually.
Again party names are useless when talking about the difference between liberals and conservatives
Also Democrat
On ancillary issues but I reckon that's where it starts.
Right the south were democrats and deeply conservative for their time. The democrats marketing to them to get votes. Parties are value systems they market to value systems @busillis
the new conservatives who believe in drug legalization are? What
I’m not talking about socialism at all. I am talking about political parties @SPEARS
i am too james
Heretics to the party
@busillis did you read the part where I said today’s liberals are tomorrow’s conservatives? Do you understand that statement
no, republicans and the conservative movement were hijacked sometime after WW2
Again political parties are intended to discourse
Most people don't want to go to war unless they're maniacs
Most people want to do their own thing unmolested by others
They exist to market to a value system, they swear to do the will of the people that Vote for them. In this case with the civil war the democrats were marketing to the conservative southerners @busillis
Tell that to the people of New York.
Tell that to the victims of Pearl Harbor.
you realize that when we see someone before WW2 being described as "a life long republican" or a "devout republican" that that meant they were for civil rights?
republican party was made under a paltform for civil rights
Marketing for who ? Corporate paymasters.
guess what, everyone got their rights from republicans
I say all this to say the union would be better off without the south
james you are uninformed and have a violent viewpoint of what is best for the country
