    Broad painting? Also most people like the Battle Flag of the Army of Virginia, not the Confederate flag. Do you know the difference? Additionally do you even know why they like the Battle Flag of the Army of Virginia? Or do you only assume why they like it?

    This is an accurate post. As to Democrats flipping parties, that makes as much sense as if they did it now due to Trump. YES,. Democrats are walking away. But it is not yet known if enough walk away to keep Trump in office.

    Take me, I openly own the battle flag of Virginia. But It does not stand for me a bit more than my American flag flown from the mast of the sunken battleship Arizona. I value both flags the same. History demands it.

    The radicals on the fringe of the Democratic Party's power structure during the 1960s gradually entered that power structure as they aged and then they eventually became that power structure. Now who trained those 1960s era radicals? Marxists sent over by the Soviet Union. From propaganda techniques to never letting an artificially generated crisis of their own devising go to waste, you can see the foundations of those radical tactics in play today.

    The huge irony of course is that the Soviet Marxist empire is now long gone, but the seeds of destruction they planted in this nation definitely took root and then their noxious weeds have since then . . . flourished. Their spiritual offspring are now effectively in control of the Dem Party.

    Problem is they can't do anything without Rs passing it.

    VA was invaded as you well know. To use a current state, what would WA do if Trump invaded them?

    You made that up. Show us any quote that the firing on Sumter was announced as being about black slaves?

    Abe invaded and he said he did not invade due to slaves. Somebody thinks we are fooled here.

    Read the secessonists documents of all the traitor states. They all state slavery as a reason. Every one of them.
    That's why the south is considered traitors to this day. Why are you supporting them still today?

    Let's find out this November how well the Trump Democratic party strategy works out. Will Democrats cite this as their reason for their loss?

    Oh, there was a switch. Calling it the “southern strategy” is an oversimplification. The Democratic Party was the dominant party in the south and now it is not. It has been a process over decades. That is an undeniable fact.

    Blacks moved fairly fast to Democrats when they figured out they got cash.

    Whites who were Democrats as I was moved during Carter and managed to elect Reagan.
