Balconesfault, thinks that the Republicans should apologize for Iraq, but nobody is offering apologies for their attempts to hamstring Reagan in support of the Contras and against the Sandinistas. And that is just one of many, many.

I agree that the Red Diaper Babies turned NeoCons are a Godsend, David Horowitz and Ronald Radosh, Ive been reading lately. They are truely apologetic and because they as Leftists were hyper political, feel the need to expose the truth about the Left and the networks and tactics and strategies used by the Left.

What is Obama and the Left doing to put families back together? Nothing, the whole point was to replace Dad with the State in the first place. Who is going to provide health care for the kids, the Federal Government is, because Dad is nowhere to be found.

We have problems that need solutions, indeed!

We constantly hear fretting about treating Muslims poorly and not respecting their culture and religion, but we get scurilous attacks on Christianity which is portrayed in the most vile terms.

Its lunacy!

Ive heard it all on this site now.

Corky, its an interesting question isnt it corky? Because it would seem that the South is ripe for the Leftist picking, right in line with their playbook and Marxist interpretation of history. A group that has been oppressed by teh Western Capitalist Imperialist Bourgousie.

My understanding is that it is rooted in the Lefts anti Westernism. In their eyes the Southern Whites are the problem. The culture war is against them, and other Europeans and now the Israelis have come under their ire….which has really got the Jews stirred up, because the Jews have been within the Leftist fold, even leaders and great thinkers within the Leftist movement.

The Southerners are to have their culture destroyed, anti Christianity is part of it….so that the revolution can commense. The Left needs an enemy to rally differing groups around in order to hold a coalition of disperate groups together for power. The White Western Christian Capitalist Patriarchy.

But their is something else going on here as well. The Northern Leftwing elites do not want to disempower themselves, which is what this would do. So in a sense this is the old Civil War conflict, where the Northerners are attempting to excercise power over the rest of the country, via the Federal Government.

To illustrate this, lets take Affirmative Action and Hiring Preferences for African Americans.

In the North (and other areas) this is much less controversial. Why? Because there are far fewer blacks in those areas. Its affects are not overall intrusive. However in the South where an area may be 50 percent African American and 50 percent White….this has massive impact on the white population. Preferences in hiring and college admissions have much greater effect on Southern populations.

What say you corky?

I proffered a compromise solution, where you get to keep your preffered myths (and Southerners get to keep their preffered myths…well they arent myths but from your perspective they are)…..this falls under the cultural relativism moniker. We (as in everybody is forced to in the public school system and cirricular) celebrate the Southern versions of history, they are promoted in Southern Studies University Programs, that type of thing. This is part of the celebrating diversity meme, and also college admission preferences for Southerners is isntitued, Affirmative Action hiring programs to equalize the economically and educationally historically and currently disadvantaged Southerners. The Southern Gap. Special protections against would be discrimination against Southerners. And also, campaigns to end the negative stereotyping of Southerners and end the bigotry.

The question still remains. Why has the Left not pursued this strategy, they could bring the Southerners into the Left coalition and form a permanent majority. Why has this not happened?
