Wrong lesson. We never should have gone in.

This was nothing like those examples, and decades wouldn't have been long enough. Think centuries.

You should have never voted for Obama.
 
Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance

Leftists should never guess at what a post means. Please try to read the sentence as it is posted and respond to that, not to something you dream up on your own.

You said Obama's policies weren't relevant. So I'm just going back to Bush's policies because he is relevant, right?

Conservatives Try to Rewrite Civil Rights History (Again)

But conservative Republicans — those represented politically by Goldwater, and intellectually by William F. Buckley and National Review — did oppose the civil rights movement. Buckley wrote frankly about his endorsement of white supremacy: "the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically." More often conservatives argued on grounds of states' rights, or freedom of property, or that civil rights leaders were annoying hypocrites, or that they had undermined respect for the law.

As Dems try to claim that the CRA's most ardent opponents weren't Dems.:peace
 
Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance

No one blocked the CRA; it passed. It passed with Repub votes, many of which were conservatives. And btw, in 1968, as George Wallace's support eroded late in the presidential race, his voters migrated to Humphrey, not Nixon.:peace

lol

Atwater apologized on his deathbed in 1991 for using racial prejudice to inflame voters, but present-day conservatives make a virtue of finding themselves on the wrong side of history. They flaunt their victimhood to rally their troops to yet another lost cause. These conservatives would sooner cast themselves as heroic victims than apologize for resorting to bigotry.

Republicans believe so deeply in their own victimhood that the world only makes sense in the reflection of a fun house mirror.

They were, but what's really desperate is your attempt to put that on today's Democrats.

Nope, they were SOUTHERNERS, Many Dems, many GOP, almost 100% from the GOP base today :(

Weird how CONservatives were for Bush';s war of choice AND every other incorrect thing in history they were either for (Iraq, bigotry) or against (equal rights, fairness)...

Democrats who claim it was a Southern thing tend ignore the support George Wallace received in the North.

Atwater was Atwater. Just as, for example, Anthony Weiner is Anthony Weiner. I for one do not believe that all Dems like to expose themselves over the internet, but I would be just as justified in drawing that conclusion as you are in drawing yours.:peace

Why not? You can run from your history or accept it, but you can't deny it.

I didn't, actually. I'm just following the logic of my questioner.:peace

You're welcome to go back to George Bush, as usual, but he has not been President for several years now. You're stuck with the Obama Administration.

LOL, Seriously? lol
 
Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance

So does Asia and Europe.
Not at all the same. Again, I'll happily link information on the differences.

Lincoln suspended habeus corpus rights. Therefore, all Republicans to this day have no respect for them. You can run from your history or accept it.

He was then and now the better choice.

So are his policies relevant or not?

Got it, Atwater the godfather of Southern strategy for the GOP means nothing bad happened with the GOP *shaking head*

Atwater was one political consultant among many. He was also a decent guitarist. And GOP inroads in the South predated him by 20 years. Btw, I have my problems with the Repubs too, but your form of gasbaggery is just too much fun to puncture.:lamo
 
Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance

Why not investigate for yourself? LOL

Minor in history

Hubert Humphrey was not considered a serious threat, and he and Wallace were appealing to opposite constituencies.

The American Experience | George Wallace: Settin' the Woods on Fire | People & Events | 1968 Campaign


To hippies who said he was a Nazi, he replied, “I was killing fascists when you punks were in diapers.” Another memorable quote: “They’re building a bridge over the Potomac for all the white liberals fleeing to Virginia.”

The Wallace campaign was comfortably ahead in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Wallace’s aides insisted that the campaign focus on winning the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.
