Anyone who remembers the "Dixiecrats" of the 1960's cannot deny the link nor the comon philosophy.

Responsible Repubicans should have demanded an end to this long ago . as the Party tumbles further and further, the hateful nature of those now in control of the Party, and their roots will become more obvious to the voting public Jeff Watson,

Almost. I saw the first Klan rally that I remember when I was five or six. The white people there still vote Republican and the pigment-rich people vote Democratic. It's so stark that the percentages coming out of my home county were exactly, almost to the tenth of a point, a black/white split in the last election. It's nice to know that there are places where things don't change a bit. Or is it? The photo makes me homesick. Almost. I saw the first Klan rally that I remember when I was five or six.

But they do have a similar problem, and very different approaches: How do you effectively counteract a popular black/progressive president and a country which is leaning more to the left and more accepting to diversity. One group put on a new face to seem more inclusive. The other group closed ranks and became more exclusive. I wasn’t equating the two.
