No I was never a fan of that flag and the racism it represented but neither am I a fan of the Pride flag. Remove one and the other can be removed just as easy.

Actually, it was the other way around. The Republican Party championed Civil Rights bills and Democrats opposed them. The Confederacy was a Democrat haven, supporting Democratic Party ideals. It was President Johnson fooling America that brought the black vote to the Democrats.

It was India’s move in the direction of free market capitalism that brought its people out of poverty. There were not enough phone banks alone to do it, but the rest of the nations businesses that were able to compete freely around the world rather than suffer under the socialism of India’s government. China did the same thing, moving toward free market capitalism, and between the two countries, a billion people were lifted out of poverty. Neither country is actually a free market capitalist economy, but they are not as marxist as they once were.

What this shows is that Marxism is difficult to work, even when the right people work it, but free market capitalism works easily, even when the wrong people work it.

I remember the William F. Buckley blue-bloods condemning pro-border Democrats….and some on talk-radio gloating about how phone banks were lifting India out of poverty.

You remember that next time you are on hold with Apu for an hour and a half for customer service.

Then they started to believe their old slave master democrat politicians promising them everything.
And those promises have never come true.

Eventually they will no longer believe them and start to think on their own. The same with the illegals except it will happen far faster.

The republican/conservatives will gain power and popularity again. We just need to keep working towards it.

I would suggest Rep. Mainor is different from many of her contemporaries in that she understands that she was elected to represent her constituents, not herself, or others.
