Dana Milbank’s column regarding GOP loonies (“In GOP, inmates run the asylum,” Aug. 22) was spot-on. In some perverted way, though, Democrats deserve backhanded credit for the situation. In the early 1960s as the liberal wing of the Democratic Party began to champion the civil rights movement, conservative southern Democrats, known as Dixiecrats, started trickling away. The r****ts were soon joined by religious conservatives who never believed in separation of church and state, all manner of no-sex, no-drugs, no rock-n-roll social conservatives, and not a small number of out-and-out aluminum hat nut cases. Who was there to welcome them? Republicans! The Big Tent Party!

Woven into the fabric of the Republican tent is the following: “Give us your disaffected, your unenlightened, your white-hooded masses yearning for fire, the wretched refuse bearing ancient hatreds. Give us your loonies, give us your theocrats yearning to rule us all, give us those who’ve forgotten the message of America or never knew it. Send these, the newly homeless, the discarded, we’ll take them all. We’ll leave a lamp on for you!”

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is breathing a sigh of relief. After all, what are a few harmless socialists compared to all those r****ts and loonies? And the old-line Republicans are finally realizing they’ve been bitten in their collective you know what.

Increasing number of Marxist taking over the Democrat Party are extremely dangerous to America.

And Bernie confirms that they are now “The Party”. They’re following the Marxist playbook to the last moment, but they won’t win.

One of 21 dixiecrats went to the Republican party, the other 20 stayed Democrat. Your post is completely false. History tells a different story. But hey repeat a lie enough, and people will believe it.

Seth

Ah, revisionist history at its finest...

The Democrats never "championed" civil rights, Johnson simply took credit for the Civil Rights Act after a majority of Republicans in Congress v**ed for it, making it politically awkward for him not to sign it into law.

After that, liberal "historians," Democratic Party opportunists and the like capitalized on this bit of disinformation to facilitate the exploitation of b****s for the v**e while enacting policies that destroyed their family units, keeping the bulk of their community dependent on government, undereducated and poor.

The lies from the left just keep on coming, don't they? Just as striking, the useful i***ts just keep repeating the lies in an effort to use proliferation to convert these lies into "conventional wisdom."

Auntie Dee

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!

Seth

Even moreso since the left permeated our political structure.

Conservative fled the Democratic party and Liberals fled the Republican party leaving it the hell hole that it is today...

PeterS

More dangerous than all the F*****ts taking over the Republican party? You can still be socialist and have a Democracy but once you become F*****t Democracy is dead...

PeterS

Conservatism is a regressive ideology. If it was left up to you we would still be kissing King George's ass. If not for liberalism this country wouldn't exist today...

Rose42

Another fallacy. You’re full of them Peter.

Peter, you throw that word 'f*****t' around so much, it makes me wonder if you even know what it means. Have you tried looking it up in wikipeter?

Seth

Yup, no question about it: let's forget all the actual history and just concentrate on the left's recent rewrite of it.

Saves us all the trouble of having to bother with the t***h.

You portsiders are real winners, lemme tellya'.
