No, coldjoint, I've not joined your opponents. I'm not your enemy, and never would be. I certainly don't want to discourage you. I'm just an online oddball. As I've said before, I'm just a disillusioned moderate, a centrist who views the course of political trends in this country as being beyond his control. I'm not optimistic about our country's future, but changing anyone's mind in these A2K forums is not going accomplish anything. As Setanta has said in another forum, our posts are not important. They give us the satisfaction of seeing our opinions displayed on a computer screen; but in the scheme of things, they usually count for nothing. A fact that took me several years to learn.
Some of us have gone through the same evolution to understand that we have no power or importance in the whole scheme of our country. All we can do is voice our opinions for people on both sides of the fence to read and learn. As have been shown, some people have learned about our history contrary to the facts. That's to be expected.
Good post, and thanks for sharing your opinion.

He was a Democrat. They have done more to keep black people down than anybody. LBJs war on poverty ruined the black family. And locked in the black vote with taxpayers money.
He definitely was a Democrat.
That is where the conservatives of the American south were at that time...until LBJ got some civil rights legislation passed and people like Ronald Reagan hit on a "southern strategy."
Then almost all the American conservatives turned to the Republicans...where they are still trying to short change all the people they short changed when they were Democrats.
Coldjoint's blindness is no different than your blindness, Frank. It's just in a slightly different arena and perhaps a bit more expansive. But in the depth of your respective ignorances you are blood brothers.
You're so dumb, cj, that you don't even know when to keep your head down. Right after you prove, at least twice, that you have an abysmal understanding of the history of your own country, of the terms you use, you pop up to say,
"Here I am, the dummy is back!"

@coldjoint,
CJ: America wants to kill you.
And you would expect nothing less from war criminals and terrorists.
See what I told you, war criminals, terrorists, rapists, murderers, baby killers, you've done it all. Where did you get your training, cj, Iraq, Vietnam, Grenada, Nicaragua, Guatemala, ... ?
And what would that have to do with most Red states being dirt poor?????
Being poor is different than billions of dollars in debt?I guess it is, and has nothing to do with red states except that they choose not to over extend themselves to buy votes.
Spending other peoples money is not a solution. It just compounds the problem.
