Yes, until the 30s the democrats were largely a southern, Conservative party, hostile to civil rights. By the 70 and 80s these same democrats jumped parties, largely as a result of the dems' new support of civil rights. The parties basically flipped, and now the republicans are the southern conservative party.

This is basic US history. I haven't seen any liberal/democrat here deny that the party had advocated abhorrent views for most of its existence.

Gee CRAIG FRY, sounds like the insistent politard bullshet rhetoric you keep posting here...


Klan violence worked to suppress black voting, and campaign seasons were deadly. More than 2,000 persons were killed, wounded and otherwise injured in Louisiana within a few weeks prior to the Presidential election of November 1868. Although St. Landry Parish had a registered Republican majority of 1,071, after the murders, no Republicans voted in the fall elections. White Democrats cast the full vote of the parish for President Grant's opponent. The KKK killed and wounded more than 200 black Republicans, hunting and chasing them through the woods. Thirteen captives were taken from jail and shot; a half-buried pile of 25 bodies was found in the woods. The KKK made people vote Democratic and gave them certificates of the fact.


Some things just NEVER change, do they CRAIG FRY!!!



Hey Reilly, it was the rising "heat" that created ISIS. Prior to 1880 or so, there were glaciers all over that region. Kept things ... COOL!

"Was it "I can't stand Donald Trump. He's a callous rube. He's unqualified to be POTUS"?

I stand corrected Edward. So, if he's the nominee you're voting for the Democrat, correct?

The farms all dried up, the masses left the rural areas and went to the cities, the despotic rulers cut off the social services to the new masses, the people rebelled to save their (current) lives.
A civil war insued.

And since the power structure was devastated by the Bush debacle, ISIS gained strength

Bernie said that he equated the rise of ISIS with global warming.
I guess he's been going to the same crack house as Prince Charles.

I don't know enough of what he was basing this on to scoff or not but climate change and population growth is predicted to have significant effects on conflict as resources change and create instability.

Yes, you demonstrate your inability to think in every post.

didn't I ask you nicely to not use my name in your posts?
Why do you insist on being such an a-hole?
does it make you feel good to PISS people off??

Try being a normal nice person for once, instead of looking for every a-hole action possible

Hey, I've had a brain storm! You don't suppose that the rise of ISIS has anything to do with
the fact that 500 million people, who believe that they'll get unlimited pussy in heaven if they
die stoopidly, also live in an essentially uninhabitable part of the world, do you? And, of course,
it was never abominably hot there before.

Maybe next time you have a brainstorm consider that most of the expertise and information you require does not currently reside inside your brain? Read the link I posted. It explains what I was describing pretty well. It also rated Bernie's statement as "mostly false" which sounds about right to me.

Bernie just had surgery for a hernia. His days are likely numbered.

I find it ironic that Obama, who has been flying all over the world of late and increasing his carbon footprint, is at a climate change convention.

*US Special Forces Commander Says Bush Created ISIS


The fact that Bush created ISIS isn’t all, either. President Bush also released the future leader of ISIS claiming that he was “harmless.” Mission accomplished,

That’s right, the former commander of U.S. Special Forces under President George W. Bush put the nail in the coffin once and for all about who is responsible for the rise of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and guess what, conservatives? It’s NOT President Obama.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is now retired, so he has no problem setting history straight. During an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel, Flynn admitted that the Bush administration was “too dumb” to realize they had captured Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. So they released him because they didn’t deem him a threat. Now, the guy is the top commander of the terrorist group known as ISIS. Here is a bit of the transcript of that interview:

Reilly, you're so eager to have a response that you don't appear to even know what you're arguing about.


Norton- Aren't you being as facile about this as Reilly is? Isn't this a little more complicated than "President X created ISIL?" It seems to me that the American people elected both those presidents and we are even more eager than our politicians to make sure someone else is to blame.
