I turned on my radio this morning
 

I was listening to Don Imus this morning, he was interviewing a band
member named Sam, I don't know his group or him. They started discussing
racism of the sixties. The question of why those people thought the way
the did, came up (oh, btw the band member was black). The mindset of
their upbringing was mentioned, and that they had no thoughts about
their racist mentality, it was just ingrained. It was just a reaction
without thought.
At that point my thinking went immediately to FOAD. I think he has the
same mentality as a racist, he hates conservatives, he will call them
names and never know the person. The hatred seems ingrained in his mind.
I would bet* his daddy was a liberal union member and this all came from
his upbringing. He has never thought about what the socialist mentality
is doing to our society. He hates the person without regard for the
sincerity or correctness of their beliefs. I'm not sure he has ever
thought about the consequences of having so many people living of the
labor of others.

Indeed, I think many of today's Republican conservatives are dirtbags,
and that includes several of the ones that **** in rec.boats.

My "daddy" grew up during the Depression and after he was graduated from
college, he and his brother worked in their uncle's non-food variety
stores during WW II. The two of them also ran a custom machine shop for
the U.S. Army on the side, turning out "experimental" shell casings for
a brass factory in Waterbury, Connecticut, and for the Watervleit
Arsenal near Albany, New York. After the war, my dad started a
lawnmower, motorcycle, and boat store business, and in the mid 1950's
also bought into a marina. Those were his occupations. He was never a
union member, but he had lots of union members as customers. My dad was
non-political. He was, however, a Philadelphia Mummer. His other hobbies
were taking care of abandoned animals and oil painting.

My mother was a minor functionary in the Republican Party in our
hometown. My early political experience was working in a GOP phone bank
before elections in New Haven County and driving people to the polls on
election day. There was no disgrace in the late 1950s in being a New
England Republican because the GOP had not yet gone bat**** crazy.

You don't seem to know much about anything, Mike. Perhaps you should
stick to selling fish.

Well, so you have told us your upbringing, I didn't get it right.
That's why I said I would only bet a little.

You said a lot when you didn't address the hot issue,
why do you have a knee jerk reaction to hate anyone conservative.
You have rants similar to racists. Just plain wrong thinking.

In the 60s, racists were democrats and they made the current crop of
republicans look like mother Teresa


In the 1960s, the Dems threw the racists out of their political
conventions and the Repubs welcomed them with open arms. You know, the
Southern strategy.

From Wiki:

In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party
strategy of gaining political support for certain candidates in the
Southern United States by appealing to racism against African Americans.

Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold
due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery before the American
Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern
Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank
of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the
African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.

The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard
Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[6][7] in the late 1960s.[8]
The strategy was successful in winning 5 formerly Confederate states in
both the 1964 and 1968 presidential elections. It contributed to the
electoral realignment of some Southern states to the Republican Party,
but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the
Democratic Party. As the twentieth century came to a close, the
Republican Party began attempting to appeal to black voters again,
though with little success.

The racists moved to the GOP, where they now reside. Your kinda boys.

Sadly my dad moved from Philly and dropped out of his Mummer group. I
did attend a reunion with him in the 1950s. All the guys were
interesting. He was in a string band.

Now the worst racist are in the big cities anyway. They just isolate
them selves from minorities with money and it is only when they get
outed like Mark Cuban and Don Stirling that we ever hear about them.


You're a funny guy. I remember the 2000 and 2004 Democratic conventions.
You're wrong. The Dems refused to seat the Southern racist Democrats,
and they bolted to the GOP.

Who was refused at the convention? in 2000 and 2004?
I almost believed you about 1968. These days I doubt there is any
southern support the democrats would not take.

A recent study showed that by the normal metrics the north east was
the most segregated area of the nation. (schools, housing private
clubs etc)

My mistake. I meant the 1960s not 2000. But I am sure you knew that.

Revisionist history. The Republicans were started as an antislavery party.
And after the war, the Democrat Carpet Baggers fully destroyed the south.
Looted it. Stole land. Took complete control of the south. 1964 Civil
Rights Act. Passed by Republicans. Biggest racist against the act?
Senator Gore. Daddy of Al.
