The entire south is red now and it used to be Dixiecrats. So what you are doing is parsing reality. LBJ said after the 1964 civil rights act: "the dems have just lost the south for a generation". That is the reality. Why do you do that shit?

Koan's entire line of thinking goes down in flames when presented with the facts. It must be difficult to be a liberal Democrat and realize the entire history of your ideological brothers are aligned with the eugenics movement, the KKK, Jim Crow, and those who fought against the Civil Rights Act and the end of slavery. Progressive liberal racists prevented African American freedom for 100 years! No wonder so many of them today feel so guilty they will accept all of the leadership failures from our current half-black President. "White Guilt" for supporting racism for a century fills their ideological mindset. Fortunately, Republicans carry none of that baggage, so they're intellectually free to expect a high quality of reasoning and policy prescriptions from our President, whether he is black or white, or something in between. In other words, we judge based on the content of character, not the color of ones skin. If Barack Obama acted as a thinking conservative Republican, I would be his biggest champion! Unfortunately, the reality is he's a big time progressive liberal who doesn't have the intellect, common sense, personal drive and leadership to be President. So he's failing - in every way and in every manner. And the longer he's in office, the more his failures will become apparent to all but the most ardent progressive liberals ideologues. Even Noam Chomsky (Koan's anarchist hero who he mistakenly believed was a liberal) has thrown in the towel and agrees with Sarah Palin.
