Dinesen whatever his good side is clueless about the South

Hence frankly I’m ambivalent at best

Very few Yankees understand us

Laura Ingraham does a decent job as does Trump

Dinesh is like Beck obsessed with racism

The Wallace voting whites and Dixiecrats sure as shite did go to the GOP

Dinesh and Beck and Bitch Lowery and Goldberg and all the other neoconservatives and freeper neoyankee protestations to the contrary

Where did Dixiecrat voters go..

Evaporated ?

No they went GOP...I had some in my extended family ....I know exactly where they went

it my home state they went early....Goldwater

Reminds me of Jews refusing to claim Judah Benjamin

You are completely correct about the Wallace vote--and I suspect that it was not only the White voters. I can personally attest, having been active in both the Goldwater (1964) & Wallace (1968) campaigns; that not only did most Wallace supporters end up voting Republican from the Reagan campaigns on, but that Wallace held back running in 1964 so as not to detract from the Goldwater effort.

Note also that it was because of the Goldwater movement that Strom Thurmond switched parties, providing the edge in 1980, 1984, 1992 and 2000. The Thurmond switch also provided the impetus for appointing Conservatives to the Supreme Court.

Also, note Bill Rusher of National Review wrote a book about the building of the new majority on these key switches in the mid 1970s. (He even called me, personally, for my thoughts in that connection.)

Personally, I would advocate pardoning D'Souza. But if he is a critic of Southern values--being himself, I believe a relative new comer to our shores--I find an arrogant need to attack the rooted population, if that is what he has done, utterly contemptible.
