The Forgotten men and women roar.....

....and liberals throw a snit fit.
It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

I've been watching events since Trump won the election and I find it both funny and sad at the same time. Pointing out the fact to #NeverTrumpers that not one of the "establishment" candidates could muster enough support to best Trump in the primaries is fruitless and the excuses why are fast and furious.

No one trusts establishment politicians anymore let alone Hillary and when you think about it that puts Hillary and RINOs on the same page.
Trump ran on what people wanted, jobs, border security, an end to unfettered immigration of unvetted refugees and against trade deals that screwed Americans.
Even when Trumps support rose the RINOs still couldn't bring themselves to stand on any issues that voters cared about.

Now the legacy media, democrats and unhinged progressives are doing everything possible to undermine Trumps administration and entertain fantasies of impeaching him and throwing him out of office.
In other words they want to negate your vote and install a puppet government that they will have control of instead of the voters.

We need to keep that in mind at all times and especially during the next midterm elections.

Income Equality BS

The democrat party couldn't exist without constant crisis. It's how they whip up their base.

Actually all politicians are guilty of it.
The immigration crisis, the "gay" marriage crisis, the "war on women crisis, the rape culture crisis and so on.
Only one candidate constantly puts out the theme that he wants America to become great again economically and that's not crisis talk. It's just positivity amongst all the crisis.

Of course income inequality is supposed to be another crisis.......or is it really?
Or just another manufactured crisis to whip up the liberal/democrat base?

Wealth inequality isn’t a ‘crisis’ — and voters know it

Inequality is the defining challenge of our time, President Obama says. “There’s too much inequality,” Hillary Clinton said in the debate Tuesday night. And the United States, Bernie Sanders noted at the same event, has more wealth and income inequality than any other country.

Inequality certainly is a symptom of a persistent underlying condition: It may be the leading cause of bulls–t in America today. To put it simply, there is no inequality crisis.

Sanders, the Grandpa Simpson of economics, has been repeating the nonsense about the US leading the way in inequality for months even though FactCheck.org reported his claims were bogus back in May.
The US is only 42nd (out of 117 countries measured) in income inequality, according to the World Bank. We’re only 16th when it comes to the wealth held by the top 1%.

Inequality is to some extent a residual effect of success: If there weren’t any billionaires or millionaires, inequality would be vastly diminished.

America attracts and breeds success so brilliantly that we nearly beat the rest of the world combined in some respects: 42% of the world’s millionaires are Americans, and 49% of those with $50 million or more in assets.
The American tendency to respect, and expect, success runs counter to the progressive plan to tax it away. Not only does constant chatter about inequality tend to make Americans more supportive of free enterprise, but it also leads to a blanket suspicion about what the regulatory and taxation elves really mean to do.~snip~

Most voters do know that it's BS but the liberal base eats it up. The majority of voters want too see more jobs created. They know then that income inequality will take care of itself.

Democrat says,"there will be no fun!!"

Unless they approve of course.
What this is is an obvious ploy to shakedown these sites for more government revenue cause ya know......they've been such good stewards of our tax money so far......amirite!!!

Eye on the ball: Democrat wants hearings on fantasy football websites

Democrats are like the, mob always looking for a bigger cut.

Why is Trump in the Lead

There's a lot of republicans out there that are pretty upset that the Donald is leading the GOP field and gosh darn it they can't figure out why.

POLL: TRUMP WITH 7 POINT LEAD OVER GOP FIELD

Donald Trump is number one in a new nationwide poll from Quinnipiac University, with a seven-percentage point lead over all other GOP presidential candidates. Trump took 20 percent in the poll, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker comes in second with 13 percent. 

The third candidate according to the poll is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent. 

All other GOP presidential candidates come in under double digits.~snip~

I don't suppose that it hasn't occurred to the RINOs that we've heard them all before. They say, "just elect us and things will change".
Well we did and things haven't changed, In spite of polls and pretty consistent opposition they still try and sell the "comprehensive immigration reform" which pretty much guarantees amnesty but no border enforcement.
They promised to repeal or defund Obamacare and guess what?
Trump is leading the polls because the base doesn't believe republicans anymore and as much as they think they need to appeal to "minorities" they are doomed with their base.
The idiot RINOs are squandering a great opportunity, all they have to do is let Trump throw issues at the wall and see what sticks. They don't have to attack him because the commie/leftist media will do that.
Then they just fold those issues into their campaigns because they know that those issues resonate with their base.
But no.......they gotta pander to a leftist media and others who don't like them anyway in order to try and become "mainstream".

For republicans to become like democrats is just a losing strategy and I'm tired of selecting the less of 2 evils and holding my nose when I vote.

The Medias Bias Marches on

So the AP crops and posts this image of Ted Cruz, you know, a republican. I'm the AP believes this is a coincident and if you believe that then they have bridges for sale in the classifieds.

AP photo shows a gun pointed at Ted Cruz’s head

In an Associated Press image that drew comment and criticism on Twitter on Sunday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is seen speaking with what appeared to be a gun aimed straight at him.
The photograph — taken by the AP’s Charlie Neibergall — actually captured a background poster, with a large semi-blurred image of a handgun pointed at Cruz’s forehead, straight between the eyes.
Story Continued Below
Cruz was appearing Saturday at CrossRoads Shooting Sports in Johnston, Iowa. During his speech, Cruz, an outspoken proponent of Second Amendment rights, encouraged residents to adopt what he called a Texan approach to guns by simply “hitting what you aim at.”
A day earlier, the Republican presidential candidate accused Democrats of using Wednesday’s church massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, as an excuse “to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”~snip~

Now a lot of conservative sites are asking the question,"what if it was <insert democrat name here> ?"
That question misses the point entirely. The media is so in the tank for liberal/commie democrats that every story or picture about them is meticulously vetted to reflect liberal/commie democrats in the best light.
By the same token every story or picture about republicans is meticulously vetted or titled to make them look like fools.
Thanks to liberal media bias this will be the climate we enter into for the next presidential election.

NYT in Denial on Labor Force Numbers

The "paper of record" just can't let go of it's cheer leading for Obama and the democrats crushing of the economy.
Here they are extolling the virtues of added jobs and a low unemployment rate.

U.S. Economy Added 223,000 Jobs in April; Unemployment Rate at 5.4%

The American job market rebounded in April, the government said on Friday, helping to ease worries that the economy was on the brink of another extended slowdown after a bleak winter in which the overall economy stalled. But the growth in jobs failed to translate, once again, into any significant improvement in pay.

Employers added 223,000 positions last month, the Labor Department reported, and the unemployment rate decreased to 5.4 percent, a turnaround from the disappointing performance in March, initially reported as a modest 126,000 gain and then revised down on Friday to 85,000.

“We expected a rebound following the numbers in March and we got it, but not much more,” said Guy Berger, United States economist at RBS. “Wage growth is still the missing piece.”~snip~

While they ignore the crushed hopes of Americans who have used up all their unemployment and therefore aren't counted as the unemployed.

Americans Not In The Labor Force Rise To Record 93,194,000

In what was an "unambiguously" unpleasant April jobs payrolls report, with a March revision dragging that month's job gain to the lowest level since June of 2012, the fact that the number of Americans not in the labor force rose once again, this time to 93,194K from 93,175K, with the result being a participation rate of 69.45 or just above the lowest percentage since 1977, will merely catalyze even more upside to the so called "market" which continues to reflect nothing but central bank liquidity, and thus - the accelerating deterioration of the broader economy.~snip~

Democrats new voting block

I'm sure the democrats will be busing them to polling places alongside seniors from nursing homes.

U.S. Court Recognizes Chimpanzees As “Legal Persons” For First Time

In a historic moment for animal rights, two chimpanzees, Hercules and Leo, were recognized by a New York court as legal persons Monday. 

Hercules and Leo, who are currently used for biomedical experiments at Stony Brook University on Long Island, were granted habeas corpus by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe.
Habeas corpus is a legal petition that detainees use to seek relief from unlawful imprisonment, and by granting habeas corpus to chimps, Jaffe endorsed the idea that they deserve the rights of a human being.
Advocates argue great apes are highly intelligent and self-aware beings with complex emotional lives that deserve basic rights, including the right to be free of inhumane punishment.
A similar tack was taken by lawyers in Argentina last year when a court ruled that an orangutan kept at private zoo in Buenos Aires for the past 20 years should have some basic legal rights.
According to Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), which filed the habeas corpus petition in March in an effort to move the primates to a sanctuary in Florida, Jaffe’s ruling is a first for animal rights.~snip~

IRS Infestation

I think for anyone who has been mildly paying attention it's apparent that government agencies have become infested with the lowest of the low.

Socialistic, liberal,democrat sympathizers.
The real problem is that they're not just sympathetic but pro-active in helping Obama defy the constitution and make his political opponents suffer the consequences for their opposition.

Here they've basically embraced the rights of an atheist organization to be what they are....a bunch of self serving pricks.
While denying Churches the right to know who and how they are being monitored.

In essence the IRS has become the democrats secret police.

The IRS Assures an Atheist Group It Will Monitor Churches

It was bad enough, as I wrote here last August, that the Internal Revenue Service appeared to reach an agreement to monitor the pulpits of ill-favored churches. What’s worse is that the IRS, directly counter to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements, steadfastly has refused to make public key documents pertaining to that decision. 

So the IRS, acting with the whole power of government behind it, seems to be saying it can monitor and presumably punish churches for the content of their sermons, but the churches can’t know exactly if, how, and why they are being monitored. 

To fight this combined assault on religious liberty and on government transparency, conservative legal stalwarts Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Judicial Watch together filed suit April 9 to force release of the IRS documents. ADF asserts that the IRS already has shared the documents with the atheist Freedom From Religion 

Foundation (FFRF). Once again, the IRS bends over backwards on behalf of leftists while harassing and ignoring the rights, on multiple levels, of conservative groups or faith communities.~snip~

Squandering lives with no regret

One of the things that those of us alive long enough to remember is the blatant squandering of U.S. military lives the leftist democrats have engaged in every time they are in charge since WWII.

An open letter from the mother of the first Navy Seal killed in Iraq to General Martin Dempsey

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey responded to reports that Ramadi, Iraq is on the verge of an Islamic State today by describing Ramadi as “not symbolic in any way.” In an open letter, Debbie Lee, whose son Marc was the first Navy SEAL casualty in Ramadi, responded to his remarks today. 

I am shaking and tears are flowing down my cheeks as I watch the news and listen to the insensitive, pain inflicting comments made by you in regards to the fall of Ramadi.
“The city itself is not symbolic in any way”? Oh, really? Are you willing to meet with me and with the families who have lost a son, daughter, husband, wife, father, mother, aunt, uncle, grandson, or teammate? 

My son Marc Lee was the first Navy SEAL who sacrificed his life in Ramadi Iraq Aug 2, 2006. His blood is still in that soil and forever will be. Remember that was when so many of our loved ones were taken from us. You said that “it’s not been declared part of the caliphate on one hand or central to the future of Iraq.” My son and many others gave their future in Ramadi. Ramadi mattered to them. Many military analysts say that as goes Ramadi so goes Iraq.~snip~

Probably the most infuriating book I've ever read is In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam that details the way the Vietnam war was mishandled by democrat Lyndon Johnson and his administration.
I hope someday someone will be brave enough to write a book on the way Obama has mishandled the middle east.

Voting advice from beyond

Look! Real obit from Concord, NC, paper Independent Tribune. The deceased is not a @HillaryClinton fan. pic.twitter.com/0DVoT8YBEg
— David Whisenant WBTV (@DavidWhisenant) April 18, 2015

I've always joked that I'm conservative until I die then my vote will most likely go to the democrats.
It looks like the deceased hopes to avoid that happening to his good name.

"Historic First" is not enough this time

Now that America has indulged itself with with a "historic first" by electing the first non-white president is it time to for a twofer?

We've had almost two terms of essentially an none vetted community organizer who didn't have to prove that he was qualified to be the countries chief executive based on the fact that he was "the first" ever.
We've been paying the price ever since.


Hilary Clinton has a well publicized history that anyone can read about in spite of the Clinton's best efforts to sanitize it.

 Oh Hill no! Clinton’s stale presidential plan wrong for nation

All things being equal that history should be enough to make her campaign almost impossible but with the mainstream media being owned and beholden to the democrat party most of Hillary Clinton's short comings will be ignored in favor of their reporting that we have a chance at another "historic first".
Lets hope this time we can look past the rhetoric of the liberal media.

Democrats Cut Military Pensions, Welfare for Illegals not so Much

Despicable is the only word that comes to mind.

I notice that cuts to the politicians salaries and pensions aren't on the table.

Senate GOP fails in final bid to block military pension cuts in budget bill

A final effort by Senate Republicans to halt cuts to pensions of military retirees failed late Tuesday, after Democrats blocked an amendment to the controversial budget bill.
The two-year budget agreement, which cleared a key test vote earlier in the day, was expected to get a final vote no later than Wednesday. 

Ahead of the final vote, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., tried unsuccessfully to use a parliamentary tactic to force a vote on the amendment, which he wrote to undo the cuts for military retirees, 

A provision in the already House-passed bill would cut retirement benefits for military retirees by $6 billion over 10 years. 

Sessions wanted to instead eliminate an estimated $4.2 billion in annual spending by reining in an IRS credit that illegal immigrants have claimed.
He and fellow senators argued the bill unfairly sticks veterans and other military retirees with the cost of new spending. 

“It’s not correct, and it should not happen,” Sessions said on the floor.
"By blocking my amendment, they voted to cut pensions for wounded warriors," he said afterwards. "Senators in this chamber have many valid ideas for replacing these pension cuts, including my proposal to close the tax welfare loophole for illegal filers, and all deserved a fair and open hearing. But they were denied.”
Sessions’ office claimed the vote Tuesday to block the amendment was a vote to "cut military pensions instead of cutting welfare for illegal immigrants."~snip~

The Medias Lies by Omission

I really don't think it's any surprise to anyone that the liberal/commie democrat controlled main stream media deliberately lies or purposely deflects when it suits their,or the democrats, purposes.

But they are also masters at ignoring stories that don't fit into their chosen narrative and anything that doesn't fit the alleged "steamrolling" of homosexual" marriage on society pretty much gets the silent treatment.

Not News: Black Church Group Cuts Ties With PCUSA Over Same-Sex 'Marriage'; Membership Decline Continues

On March 18, Associated Press Religion Writer Rachel Zoll covered the decision by the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) "recognizing gay marriage as Christian in the church constitution after decades of debate over same-sex relationships." A search at the AP's national site indicates that the wire service hasn't done a story on the U.S. congregation since then. This means that it has ignored a development going at least back to Friday indicating that there has been significant external blowback:

National Black Church Initiative, a Coalition Representing 15.7 Million African Americans, Cuts Ties with PCUSA
The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a coalition representing some 34,000 African American and Latino churches, 15.7 million African Americans, and 15 different denominations, announced that it will be cutting ties with the Presbyterian Church (USA) since the denomination decided to redefine marriage to include same-sex marriages.~snip~

The courts can rule same sex marriage as legal but people of real faith will never accept it. True Christians simply cannot.
That is why we're in the next step of totalitarianism. Because while rabid supporters believe they will benefit on some level by the elimination of Christianity in this country the real beneficiaries will be the socialist tyrants of the democrat party.

Who's really being played by the professional class/gender warfare agitators?

The Bottom Line on "Gay" Pizza

While the pink mafia and their leftist enablers have been melting down over the Memories Pizza "scandal" they have been conveniently ignoring the simple fact that it's entirely manufactured.

Here's an article that explains it perfectly.

Story About First Business to ‘Publicly Vow to Reject Gay Weddings’ Was Fabricated Out of Nothing

The Huffington Post headline screams: 

Indiana’s Memories Pizza Reportedly Becomes First
Business To Reject Catering Gay Wedding. 

Memories Pizza is a nine-year-old shop in downtown Walkerton, Indiana, just a few blocks from John Glenn High School. It’s owned by an openly-Christian couple, the O’Connors, who decorate their shop with mementos of their faith in Christ. So how does a small business in a small town wind up making headlines around the world as the new avatar of Christian bigotry?
Perhaps, you say, they brought this upon themselves, seeking out publicity for their strict biblical views.
Eh…no.
Some cursory internet forensics shows how it happened…or rather, how it was made to happen.
ABC-57 reporter Alyssa Marino’s editor sends her on a half-hour drive southwest of their South Bend studio, to the small town of Walkerton (Pop. ~2,300). According to Alyssa’s own account on Twitter, she “just walked into their shop [Memories Pizza] and asked how they feel” about Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act.~snip~

You see there was no wedding, no one ever asked them to cater one nor had there ever been a request for pizzas for a "gay" wedding or reception or even a rehearsal dinner made to Memories Pizza for them even to turn down.
All the happened is some reporter asked questions designed as "gotchas" and of course if the right answers aren't given then the media goes into the "sly little lie mode".
The leftists know it's a lie and so do the pink mafia but they also know that they can milk the lie to their own advantage.
The media and the left play the people in this country constantly and they couldn't care less.
Harry Reid is a proven liar and proud of it.

The sad part is here we are entering another election cycle and the media still hasn't received the backlash from the American people that needs to happen so that voters can make an informed decision.

Where the MSM Stands

It truly is exhausting to have to constantly point out the deliberate deflection of the news by the liberal media.
Here we have a story of a presidential contender possibly committing multiple felonies and the media focuses on the state of Indiana that BTW elected a republican as governor.

Nets Devote 3x More Time to Indiana Law Than Hillary E-Mail Server Wipe

The stunning revelation that Hillary Clinton wiped her personal e-mail server clean is the kind of political cover-up that should have sent the networks into overdrive, except they had an even more important agenda to advance: smearing an entire state and its Republican governor as anti-gay bigots.  From the morning of March 27 through March 30 evening the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks spent only 10 minutes and 15 seconds to the admission by Clinton’s own attorney that her State Department e-mails were wiped from the server that had been subpoenaed by Congress, but they devoted a whopping 35 minutes and 1 seconds to coverage of the Indiana religious freedom law.~snip~

The media want's to ensure that very few remember Hillary's emails.
I've always enjoyed fiction which is why I still watch the evening news, a habit I acquired back in the days when there were only 3 channels on TV and no net so I've seen first hand how the alphabet channels have changed.
They've become even more biased, the propaganda arm of the democrat party.

What a Concept

One thing you can count on with our politicians is if the American people are against illegal immigration then RINO's and liberal/commie democrats are for it.
Some politicians around the world are just a little more receptive to their peoples demand that they enforce their laws.

Norway Just Deported 824 Muslims, Every American Needs To See What Happened Next

Despite all the liberals in Norway deeming this “racist”, the logical party went ahead with it and the result almost shut down every opposing voice in the government instantly. This is one of the best stories we have eve seen come from such a liberal area of the world.
Violent Crime Dropped By 30%
That’s right, whopping 30%, and it’s all because a couple of politicians decided to enforce the laws that they already had. What a world we live in where that is a shocking thing to do in a government.<snip>

You gotta wonder what kind f political system we have where those who break our laws have more of a voice than the citizens who pay taxes and play by the rules.

The Death of the Press

It seems that I can't post this picture enough because it symbolizes the state of the free press in this country.
See as how the media has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat part for at least 3 decades now.
After white washing Bill Clinton's affairs during his time in the white house, and being surprised that the American public bought it, they've just become bolder with their deceptions.

Brian Williams gets caught in multiple lies so obviously some commie/liberal journalist has to find a "right wing" offender to equivocate the sin to.
So one of the least respected libtard publications floats a Bill Or'Reilly story. A few other leftist websites pick it up to pretty much a big yawn.
I'm not really a fan of O'Reilly's but his response was pretty good  and the 2 situations are not equivalent.
Williams was busted by troops who were there, Mother Jones relies on others working in the media to get their "gotcha" story. Seeing as how "journalists" have already shown themselves to be self serving liars there really isn't much legs to this.
Now we got the "Giuliani" scandal and judging by the last midterms I would say he's not the only one who wonders about Obama's loyalty to America.
A look at the last 6 years of his "presidency" would give most people pause to wonder the same things.

But don't worry, Obama's media apologists have his ass covered, like always.
Take a look at this thread at Twitchy.

The Federalist’s Sean Davis unloads on media’s Giuliani obsession; What about these scandals?

The saddest part of all this is the fact that we don't have to worry about government destroying a free press in this country. The leftist/commie infiltrators in the media are doing a good job of it already.

A Symbol of Freedom No More

I ran across this article.

A Dictator’s Best Friend

“It’s a sad day for freedom,” Marco Rubio told Bret Baier after President Obama announced he would normalize relations with Cuba. Not a sad day, senator: a sad year.
If there was a theme to 2014, it was Obama’s persistence in bailing out dictators and theocrats from political scrapes and economic hardships, his tenacity in pursuit of engagement with America’s adversaries no matter the cost to our strength, principles, credibility, or alliances.
In this president the thugs in Havana and Caracas, Damascus and Tehran, Moscow and Naypyidaw and Beijing have no better friend. For these bullies, these evildoers, these millenarians and sectarians, Barack Obama is more than a dupe. He is an insurance policy.
Cuba is but the latest example of this president’s failing to exercise leverage in the pursuit of American strength and security and prestige. Here are the Castro brothers, decrepit and spent, their revolution a joke, their economy in peril thanks to the collapse in oil prices brought on by a strong dollar and increased U.S. supply.
The China option—foreign direct investment from America—is Raul and Fidel’s only play to sustain power over the society they have impoverished. And Obama says yes, yes to everything: an embassy, an ambassador, diplomatic relations, travel and exchange, status among nations, removal from the list of state sponsors of terror, and a serious opportunity to lessen the embargo that has kept the dictators caged for decades.
In return, the Castro brothers give up … well, what? Alan Gross, a political prisoner and persecuted religious minority who shouldn’t have been imprisoned in the first place? A second man who has been in captivity for decades? Thin gruel.~snip~

As I read this it pretty much brought home what we have given up in the past 6 years under the yolk of Obama and his minions while in office.
We have turned from a beacon of freedom in the world to the enablers of dictators and terrorist states.
In all of my 60 years I never would have thought I would live long enough to see a whole industry in America cowering before a petty little despot. While I'm sure Seth Rogen and James Franco's "the Interview" comes no where near a cinematic masterpiece deserving of the outrage and hand wringing it's getting the fact that the Norks can stifle it is unsettling.

One thing that people forget about Cuba is that we wouldn't have had to deal with Castro and his terrorist state if another democrat coward,Kennedy,had followed through on his promise to provide air support to the counter-revolutionary military that we trained and then abandoned at the Bay of Pigs.

Cuba has been propped up first by the now defunct Soviet Union until its collapse and then various other Latin American socialist countries, most recently Venezuela. Now that their socialist policies are collapsing Obama runs to the rescue of the Castro brothers.
After 50 years Cuba was on the verge of economic collapse and the Obama regime throws them a life line.

As a country we've not only lost our way but we're being herded to insignificance.
Thanks Barry.

Enforcement Arm of Democrat Party May Shutdown

Russia had the KGB, East Germany had the Stasi and Obama and the democrats have the IRS. The government agency charged with enforcing Obamacare with an all access pass to our financial and  medical information has had its budget cut and they're claiming they are hurting.

IRS warns of possible shutdown

The IRS is considering its own temporary shutdown due to recent budget cuts enacted by Congress, its chief said Thursday.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said furloughs — forced unpaid days off for employees as part of an IRS closure — is one idea reluctantly being tossed about to save money, though they are hoping they will not have to go there.
“There is no way we can say right now that that won’t happen,” Koskinen told reporters at a press conference on the upcoming tax season. “Again, I would stress that would be the last option.”~snip~

What better way to oppress people in a free market economy than with an all powerful agency given the power to creep through every aspect of our lives?
I's time this partisan agency was disbanded and another method found to fund government.

Why Democrats Really Lost the South

The staggering lack of self awareness that liberal/democrat progressives have is almost comical.
That's the only thing I could think about as I read this article by some historically clueless hack at The Daily Beast who is totally butt hurt by the trouncing that the dems suffered in the south.

Dems, It’s Time to Dump Dixie

I guess it doesn't occur to him that he's a little late because Dixie pretty much dumped the democrats.

It's kind of funny because the democrat party held the south for decades because liberal/democrat/progressives were racist. At least that is who they pandered to during the 60's and 70's to hold power in the south.
As long as southern constituents bought into the segregationist policies of Orval Faubus (D) and George Wallace (D) the democrats had no problem with racism as long as they could hold power in the south.

As much as the democrats deny it in this century the south has moved away from the racism that is  encouraged by the democrats and have started to move beyond the racism of liberals seeing them for the party of division that they really are.

The democrat parties only platform anymore seems to be constantly trying to divide everyone by race,sex,sexual preferences and income and people all across the nation, including the south, are getting wise to their tactics and rejecting the party of division.

So go right ahead progressives and dump everyone who's gotten wise to your politics of division.
