Southern Revenge For Losing The Civil War Is Upon Us.

1. No

Just no.

[Cali_Democrat]

2. LOL

[JoePhilly]

3. More like white rural revenge.

[tillikum]

4. i love your posts!

[Dreamer Tatum]

5. You're the headline writer for the Chicken Little Daily News nt

[hrmjustin]

34. Why do you say that?

[TheMastersNemesis]

6. I Realize There Are A Lot Of Northern Tea Baggers As Well.

A lot of southerners moved to other parts of the country. We get our share of these tea billies here in Colorado as they move in.

[backscatter712]

9. Right-wing redneck traitor-trash.

Living in Colorado myself, some of my encounters with them have been ugly.

I remember getting death threats by these scumfucks back when I was joining street-corner protests against the Iraq War.

[HockeyMom]

12. Ah, but Northerners move South too

and take their "librurl" view with them to the South.

[YoungDemCA]

20. A lot of conservative Northerners move South

Just as a lot of conservative Californians have moved to states like Arizona, Idaho, Texas, etc. We are becoming more politically segregated as a nation, and I fear the effects of it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Then why don't you do the smart thing...and delete your

stereotypical OP?

[AlinPA]

29. PA is loaded with the teabagger idiots.

7. This is the UNITED STATES, we are not going to replay the civil war, and most

important, there are many progressives in the south

As progressives we must stand united, and not generalize due to a certain George Wallace demographic which I might add also exists in other states to some degree like Michigan, Iowa, etc.

[madinmaryland]

14. Sadly there are still a lot of people who do want to replay the Civil War...

Douchebag caught today in front of the White House.

[Eddie Haskell]

22. Your damn right.

I've heard it a thousand times, these assholes hold a grudge longer than the Taliban.

[muntrv]

23. 3 words for these fools: General Sherman's March.

[LonePirate]

16. There are not many progressives in the South or else more statewide offices would be held by Ds

Two governors (AR and KY) along with a small handful of senators (AR, FL, LA, NC, VA) do not constitute proof of many progressives in the South.

[NuclearDem]

17. Two words: voter ID.

There are plenty of progressives in the South. There's also a laundry list of reasons why Democrats have difficulty getting elected down South.

[LonePirate]

18. Voter ID laws are not the problem when state races are lost by 15+ points

Besides, Dems couldn't get elected in the South before the ID laws were passed in the past couple of years.

As Dems, we have to stop blaming these horrible ID laws and we have to start working our asses off to get people with IDs to vote Dem and we need to help Dems without IDs get them. That still may not be enough for another 20 years in some places in the South.

[NuclearDem]

19. Election systems all across this country are broken.

Yes, we need to recruit voters, but that means almost nothing when lines to vote are hours long and elected officials do everything in their power to make voting more difficult.

Lots of people who would vote Dem can't take time off to do so, live in districts with poorly-run elections, or are in groups targeted by discriminatory laws.

Progressives in the South exist and want to vote, but the election system makes it nearly impossible at this point.

[lostincalifornia]

28. The implication in this thread by some that we should ignore the south is

Because they don't have progressives, or will not vote Democratic is a sure way to a self-fulling prophecy

If I recall north carolina, Virginia, and other states did vote blue which is why we had a Democratic president

The Texas demographic is changing enough that even with gerrymandering it can be turned Democratic

[lostincalifornia]

26. When there are lines in North Carolina. Florida and other states, because they do not have enough

Voting machines in those areas because demographically they do not favor republicans, don't you see that as a problem?

[NuclearDem]

8. Wow, and here I thought it was more complex than that.

Thank God someone broke it down into a cartoonishly stereotypical statement that throws out all historical, economic, sociological, and political information.

[YoungDemCA]

21. Seriously

As if we didn't have enough of that already.

[RZM]

10. More like your daily dose of idiocy is upon us n/t

[flamingdem]

11. Union gunna have to teach 'em real good

this time.

[nolabear]

15. Here's a breakdown of where the Tea Party resides.

It's admittedly old but I don't think things have changed particularly. The South makes up 36%. The non-South makes up the majority.

[Lex]

24. Kind of cancels out the OP's theory.

[nolabear]

32. Yeah, it does.

Hell, 36% is nothing to be proud of, but it's so much easier to point and shame than to look to your own house.

[steve2470]

25. oops looks like your theory is wrong

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3857617

It's more like rural whites versus urban everyone else.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

27. Time to go William Tecumseh Sherman on their asses

and make them cry for another 150 years

[The Midway Rebel]

30. Couldn't resist the troll could you?

The South had its revenge, his name was Elvis.

[Nye Bevan]

31. YES. Southerners like John Boehner and Sarah Palin are DESTROYING us (nt)

[tsuki]

33. Really? I think South Dakota has out Alabama'd

even Mississippi. Faced with electing a Representative that would negotiate a new Farm Bill that expired in 2011, they elected a misogynistic, homophobic, racist.

And Indiana, it has always been a KKK acolyte.

Don't get me started on Idaho, Nebraska or Kansas.

It is not just Southern revenge.
