Hannity is too busy butt fucking Dr. Oz to be bothered with Russia/Ukraine. Any of these bozos, starting with the politicians and pieholes, can go on over and fight themselves. We won't miss them, and the economy will probably be better for it. Then, the politicians' children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, whomever. Bunch of blowhards wanna have at it? Go for it.
Race mixing is American. Racism is a political tool used mainly by socialists who lean left toward communism. That would be the DNC and it's media arms. Nazi racism was offensive. In recognizing and calling out DNC rhetoric, I am being defensive. I would normally not talk about race of any kind except to shed light on dark pockets of bigotry where absolutely necessary. Racism is essentially bigotry in regards race. That was a hallmark of Nazi thinking in the 1930's. Note also that Nazi racism included both black and white races. Basically anybody standing in the way of 'Liebesraum'. Likewise, the DNC is racist against any white, or black, standing in the way of their political power.
When the conflict began to escalate some weeks ago, Hannity came out as a warmonger, happy to have his balls washed by as many Democrats as possible. Tucker came out with a bit more wisdom, questioning eight years of rhetoric designed to demonize Putin and draw us into war. Perhaps since then, Hannity has toned it down, realizing he might be a tool. Wouldn't be surprised if he's looking for new ball washers somewhere. Trump's base is hard at work trying to get him (Trump) to withdraw his endorsement of Oz. Let's see if this finally splits Trump and Hannity, yes, that same Hannity who kept interrupting Trump whenever Trump sat for an interview with him. Trump wouldn't wash his balls so he washed his own balls.
What's funny is that I flipped to Shammity after writing that and sure enough, there was another ball-washed warmonger otherwise known as Lindseeeeeee Graham, who doesn't have any spawn to give, so therefore, WAR IS GREAT!!! and then sometime after that, sho nuf - DR. OZ!!! Scammity. Just despicable.
So it were the socialists in the Conservative South who passed Jim Crow laws? It's the socialists who carry the Confederate flag and support Trump? What's with you old boomer cons and dumb rants, I bet you are thick around your neck blocking blood flow to the brain as well, it's the standard pattern.
It was the "Southern Democrats" according to this article. https://library.law.howard.edu/civilrightshistory/blackrights/jimcrow Far more of Trump's base flies the Stars and Stripes, than the Confederate flag. Before and during the Civil war, the Democrat party was in the mainstream for the continuation and extension of slavery. So technically, it was their flag. You never saw Trump hug that flag. There was a faction within the pre-Civil War, and Civil War era Democrat party that opposed slavery, which in New York was called the Barnburners. They did not prevail within the party to alter its values, which were asserted through the Jim Crow laws as the mainstream Southern Democrats prevailed over so many blacks entering politics after the Civil War. Were the Southern Democrats socialist, or even communist? Yes if you understand that kind political animal to produce, if not actually be, an authoritarian caste system. The upper caste in the system figures out how to get into power, stay in power, and ideally, profit off the generally high taxes (labor) of the other castes. At one point, in the 60's, a faction of the Democratic party managed to resurrect the Barnburner mentality enough to help bring Jim Crow to an end. At which point the Democratic party began to tax the entire middle class, both north and south, attempting to maintain a political caste system, by pandering to the black block with promises of, and often the delivery of, special status using funds collected through a more and more socialist system. Those blacks who fall for this kind of pandering, are said to remain "on the plantation", because of the close connection of the Democratic party and it's legacy in the South, as well the effects of Democrat socialistic policies. Communism is well known for employing class/caste warfare to achieve it's goals. In a largely white country like Russia, it would be the worker class against some other, upper class, for example. In a mixed country like America, the grievance class includes the traditional worker class, but also any other grievance group that could be susceptible to propaganda that aims to produce a majority voting block. As the Democratic party continues to pander to grievance groups, using it's media arms to enflame grievances, it drifts more and more left toward socialism, and finally communism. You have to understand that communism must be forced. There are only two ways to force anything: physical violence, or deception. The result is a high tax system forcing people to contribute to a corporation (the government) that has a monopoly on violence, deception, and charity fraud. By charity fraud, i mean that the government functions as a very poorly run charity. In an extreme case, the operators of the charity will keep 90% of the funds donated (by force in this case), and distribute maybe 10%. A Democrat politician will have you believe, through deception, that it is the other way round, keeping 10%, and distributing fairly the other 90%. The promise of receiving a portion of that 90% would induce a grievance group to vote for the Democrat party, resulting in a wealthy political class that grifts on grievance politics, and, when in power, grifts on the selling of influence and insider trading. The Democrat party is racist to the extent that the ruling class within it, systematically uses race baiting to pander to grievance groups to widen it's voter base. It's policies, like slavery, are bad for anyone on, near, or otherwise affected by it's plantation like reach of power. In weakening everybody, the chances are high that an unvarnished, unmasked authoritarian will emerge at the top of the upper class, since democracy is not really it's aim or outcome.
AKA Conservatives, should I start quoting them and posting their conservative ratings? Why are you cons so afraid of your southern heritage?
Well technically, slave holders are/were conservative businessmen. To buy a slave you needed capital, as if you were buying an expensive tool. You then tried to conserve captital by maintaining your tools/people at the l least expense. Many found ways to justify it despite their belief in the bible, or because of it. So during the war you had conservative capitalists (even bible believers) in the North fighting conservative capitalists in the South. The main difference being the northern capitalist didn't buy and sell people like expensive tools. You'ld love to conflate the Southern conservative with contemporary GOP. You ignore the prime difference which is the belief in caste systems, enforced by law (both before and after the Civil War). The Southern Democrats resented Northern Republican and Barnburner meddling with their caste system so much they pivoted to an attack on the entire capitalist system...TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES AT THE TOP OF A CASTE SYSTEM. Those at the top don't give a damn what race is under them (neither did Hitler) so long as they remain at the top. Yes, socialism/communism still have a political class at the top. The proposed ideals leave lots of room for cynical political pandering to a naive voter base. The aim is neither communism nor democracy, the aim is to maintain power so to be positioned where the most amount of loose money is sloshing around. Bernie Sanders has four homes. BLM has how many millions invested in mansions? It's whites grifting on whites and blacks, and it's blacks grifting on blacks and whites. This becomes more understandable once you realize how communism greases the wheels of grift and graft to maintain a class system for anyone who will join/help the political party. Once you realize that slavery was not so much a racist issue as it was a grift/graft to establish an upper class caste system, no matter the race of the slaves. In a 'democracy' that plays out as * laws for thee but not for me*. It's why we find the most hypocrisy hiding in the dark cracks and crevices of the contemporary Democrat party, which starts to resemble a mafia mob mentality to maintain its power base.
