Lincoln gave us Wilson who gave us FDR who gave us Obama. Southerners got it then and get it today.

Here's the results from Wilson's first election in 1912.

Here's the results from the 1916 election that gave Wilson a second term>

Here the 1932 election, FDRs first term.

Then there is FDRs second term in 1936

Do I need to go on? The Solid South voted overwhelming for Wilson and FDR. So I guess the Southerners got exactly what they voted for.

Your reply demonstrates that you don’t understand the point I was making. It has nothing to do with who was voted in by whom in terms of political party.

My comment; “Southerners got it then and get it today.” is a reference to the correct belief that states had certain rights over and beyond the federal government. Southerners today who argue that the rights existed then and should still exist today is the reason we have these discussions and NOT because of some idiotic “still fighting the war” nonsense. The debate as to what rights states have is as important today as it was then. THAT issue was not settled because of the WBTS. This was clear in the full context of my postings. Your maps are meaningless in that context. Sorry you went through so much effort for nothing.

The threads that tie Lincoln, Wilson, FDR and Obama together are the belief that state rights are of little or no consequence and that they were/are the “progressives” of their eras. Obama’s total disregard for state rights and )so far successful) psychotic power grab was made possible by Lincoln and built upon by Wilson and FDR. Glenn Beck has done an excellent job of demonstrating and documenting this history. Only Lincoln sycophants would argue otherwise and create nonsensical threads about neo-Confederate “myths”.

As to the two gay guys who attacked me in re to my taking issue with the term neo-Confederate, one need only to look at my original comment to understand my perspective. Thinking, cognitive people reading that would understand that I was saying, you don’t have to be a neo-Confederate to hold the opinions and make the arguments that the poster laughingly tried to label as myths. I rather suspect that they will read this and still not understand the difference. But I don’t have time to waste on fools, morons and neo-Comms.

Thanks for at least trying to interject some actual intelligent comments and points.
