The Civil Rights Act made Wallace possible. Offered a frankly racist alternative to the direction the modern national Democratic party was heading, a terrifying percentage of the old South chose it.
He ran as a Democrat. When he left the campaign the South had another choice. They chose Nixon. Obviously, race was not the sole reason for this, nor was racism limited to the South. It mattered greatly, though, that George Wallace, the national face of American racism, was considered to be the viable alternative to the sitting president. No wonder that the Southern strategy was developed after the 68 election. This was an exploitable issue, and it was exploited well. The Democrats were smart to nominate a Southern governor in 1976, but the election was about Watergate and is too much of an anomaly to use as an exemplar of voting patterns. All the elections from 1964 through 1976 are weird in one way or another. The winners were totally obvious in three of the four yet they had little predictive ability about future elections.
Well, now, just a second there, NeuronMuncher! Something wrong with a sternly affectionate lecture, stop being so lazy, that sort of thing? Kind of thing you might get from your uncle, if your uncle is a total dick.
the reporter’s name was right at the bottom. or Blog, or whatever. The article was just a detail of the extremes the Republicans are engaging in in North Carolina, with hundreds now being arrested every Monday in Raleigh as they protest the actions of the right wingers.
When I use someone else’s work, I attribute, I don’t just rephrase and claim I am the brilliant one.
get all those dead republicans to vote, Which is very common for Democrats to do.
Stop voter fraud which the Dems use all the time, voter id must be enforced! If I am stopped driving I just can’t tell the cop, gee I don’t need a licence or any ID. try it see how that works out for ya! Although I support privacy rights I think we need a national drivers licence or national id card.
I know nobody wants to have their social security number revealed or their address or what ever…,gee have you ever applied for school, drivers licence, loan, credit card, job application, filed your taxes??? Your name and identity are public record go to the court house and see, or see who has requested your credit file…so providing ID is not a privacy issue or means to deny voting it is a duty of every legal resident to let the voter officals you are legal to vote in an American election, then maybe all those double or triple votes by Dems will disappear!
Plus we need to educate the Young sheep in society, that free handouts and giving a free lunch to every tom dick and hairy and illegal or voting for someone just becasue it is a fad or everyone else on campus is doing it, is not how this country became great. Once these clueless leftist students figure out the democrats are making them dependent, then maybe we will have a swing back to the “light” and away from the “dark side”!
Start making it mandatory to teach citizenship in elementary school again, like when this country was strong and working and prospering. It should be mandatory to teach kids that in order for a country and its people to thrive they must work and build on the foundations of our forefathers, not destroy what was and can be a great country again, by sucking at the teat of the nanny city, state or federal government!:smack:
Good heavens. First of all, the number of people impersonating voters or voting on behalf of the dead is miniscule. You don’t fix a problem of a handful of fraudulent votes by preventing hundreds of thousands of legitimate ones. There simply is no significant voter fraud problem, Republicans go into their Chicken Little act so they can pass measures aimed at suppressing Democratic vote. Yes, you need to have a license to drive, yet you have no constitutional right to do so. You do have a constitutional right to vote, so putting barriers to the polls so as to disenfranchise one party’s voters is contrary to democratic principles.
Civics and history have always been taught in school, what are you getting upset about?
Actually, most of the fraud identified in the 2012 election was perpetuated by Republicans.
I’m sure that would do a wonderful job of stopping the endemic voter fraud that isn’t actually happening. And does nothing about fraud in absentee ballots either - but of course, absentee voters favor the GOP, so that’s okay.
You mean the non-existent ones?
Seriously, dude (or dudette), we’ve been over all these points ad nauseum on this board. The idea that all “real hard-working Americans” all vote Republican and all the lazy freeloaders, criminals, mindless sheep, fraudsters and illegal immigrants vote Democrat is not actually borne out by any data. Accept it: your guy lost because the majority of Americans voted for the other guy. Fair and square.
There is one person on this forum that agrees with maybe half of what you say. His name is Bricker, and he is constantly wrong. There has been an extensive thread on the issue. The fact is that the voter fraud cases we’ve been able to establish actually existing are so minuscule and the number of people eligible to vote that don’t own ID so massive, that enforcing voter ID laws would actually lead to more distortion in the vote, rather than less. But why am I bothering? This post is so snooker loopy that Sonny would look at it and seriously consider laying off the puffs.
The Board is properly concerned about copyright and enforces it rigorously. Copying an entire article is a violation of the writer’s copyright. It doesn’t matter in the least if you attribute it. Nor was it clear from the way you pasted it that it wasn’t your work or that the name on the bottom was the writer or that you hadn’t just copied something that you had written elsewhere. You posted it exactly as if it were yours.
The proper form here is to give a link to the original. You can excerpt a small portion that makes your point and put it into a quote box (or just between quote marks). That’s considered Fair Use. There is no precise amount that constitutes the difference between Fair Use and a violation; just be reasonable about it.
I’m just wondering how this seeker person managed to fly under the radar here for three years with that kind of head of completely loony steam built up.
