Well I was doing some reseach and came across some interesting figures. I was attempting to really understand how the poor and middle class in the just constantly vote against there own interest. I know the evangelicals pass themselves off as a religion. But they have no love for the poor, they could care less if these people lost healthcare, they care less about civil rights versus religious rites.

But let's get back to the ideology of the Southern racist and how they vote along the republican agenda of tax breaks for the wealthy, tax subsidies to the most profitable corporations, tax loopholes for major corporations. These Southern poor and middle class vote against there own self interest. But I did come across some statistic they indicate that they are ignorant to the facts they always will and it probably will not change.

It all started with me when I looked at Southern stats from the civil war where 258,000 Southern boys lost there life and stats do not show the number of wounded. All of this to protect 11,000 southerners that owned 50 or more slaves. Actually only 2,350 owners had as many as 100 slaves. This all makes up .75% of the White Southern population.
So you march off to war to fight for .75% of the White population in the south that gave you no jobs utilizing slave labor. Now that's how to sacrifice yourself for the corporate elite that did nothing for you. It's the same today you vote against you're own self interest to create a white society and protect the corporate elite that does nothing for you.

So it's not you're fault it's been bread into you since 1860. So you don't need an ideological change you need a cultural change.

Seriously dude. You need help.

Unbelievable hey Arch? He's not getting any traction on Russia so he switched to slaves and white people. He's a slave of a non-functioning brain and doesn't even know it.

I hate to bust your bubble but you seriously need help. #1 I wasnt born in the south I was born in Idaho but have lived here over 20 years #2 you dont have to be southern to want the country you were born in and have been proud of to stand up and be proud again. The democrats and special interest groups have dragged this once proud country into the gutter and made us the laughing stock of the world for allowing it. Go blow your bs bubbles some where else

Talk about ignorant, you don't even know the difference between there and their. Where did you go to school? You can't learn about how southerners think by reading statistics.
Many, many of us stand up for states rights, always have and always will. That's what we fought for. What did all the yankee immigrants fight for? A right to loot and steal and get paid for it. They didn't know about slavery (or care about slavery) and they didn't know about states rights or care about that, either. As a matter of fact, most of them were probably fighting to relieve themselves from a different kind of slavery. Think about it!
Look in the statistics on that. By the way, one eats bread, and one is bred to feel contempt for ignorance such as yours. As far as culture, I feel our culture is far more desirable than whatever you come from.

One need not read past your first paragraph to realize just how clueless you are. Do you really believe this BS or are you just trying to be antagonistic? We could go on and on about your views that evangelical Christians are not a religion while you accept the Islam way of life as a religion with the perversions which are inherent in their beliefs but, of course, it does no good to try to reason with leftists who continually demonstrate their ignorance of anything decent in life. I agree with the last respondent to your rant - you need help. Please obtain it. There really are many good psychiatrists who might help you. Good luck.

He wonders why we call him turdnest. F*cking moron.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

If he was a dog you'd put him down. By far one of the most ignorant, moronic people on this site.

archie bunker Loc: Texas

He's a slave of Donald John Trump, and the Republican party Jim. They own him! He thinks of nothing else!

Loki Loc: Georgia

No, he IS the most moronic. Most of the others just act that way to be irritating.

"I was attempting to really understand how the poor and middle class in the just constantly vote against there own interest"

If you are not sure and you want to get a quick answer, just drive to Baltimore, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Flynt, Houston etc etc and interview all of them who keep voting in the same Democrats into office with the exact same message of Hope and Change for the last SIX plus decades. Ask them how they are doing?

archie bunker Loc: Texas

Don't worry, he's got this! Hell, I had no idea until he informed me on another thread that I'm not in control of my own life.
Just......let him educate you.

Carol Kelly

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...They are the only only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. Thomas Jefferson

I don't believe he meant what we're doing today..fake news and universities turning out wimps who will only look for "safe spaces".

You are right Arch, what was I thinking?

No Archie the Southern ideology supports a corporate take over of this country have you ever in you're life ever checked out the way those ignorant Southern republicans vote in Congress. Because you talk about support for the poor and middle class but you never actually fully understand what the Texas republican agenda really is. You love corporate subsidies, you love corporate loopholes, you love corporate welfare you love wealthy tax cuts you love the income inequality leveraged towards the wealthy, because you support wealthy and corporate tax cuts, you are against the government from negotiating with Big Pharma on medication cost in this country, you love medical junk insurance, you love the fact of max payouts for healthcare, you love the fact that a sick person can get thrown off there insurance, you love those wealthy tax cuts in Trumpcare, you love cutting Medicare by $800 billion this shit is bread into you with all the misinformation that these Southern poor and middle class have been told they keep you ignorant with lies misinformation.
Just look at what that prick McConnell did yesterday to get one vote from Rob Portman his state is devistated with drug addiction so Mitch put $48 billion back into Trumpcare to get his vote. Drug addiction is self inflicted, but my sons disease he did not ask for and Mitch will give Ohio $48 billions and throw my kid off health Indurance which he pays for himself without government subsidies. You love that concept.
It's not you're fault Archie is something that has been bread into you so these Southern poor and middle class need a cultural change not ideology. It's been going on down there since the 1860 so it will take time. Below is a cartoon as to how these idiots have exploited you for the last 8 years it's comical what you have elected.

If you want to change Archie I will help because I would be happy to show you the errors of you're ways. It's the same as drug addiction it's hard to get off it without a little help but first you have to admit you're addiction to Republican BS. With a lot of help from our Russian adversaries. Let me know Archie you are worth the effort. You have been fed that shit for years
