Because you know you dont have those "facts". The only reason you refuse to post any evidence is because you have none.

You deny a Northern exodus to the South? You must not read much? Just where do you find population growth in census records? Do you find growth in Chicago, Cleveland, Peoria, or dozens of other Northern cities?

I don't have to post obvious facts like that here to prove anything to you, they exist as public records for everyone to see, as well as in hundreds of stories from news sources over the last 40 or so years!

So, where did all of these people go? Were they mostly killed by the gang warfare found in these Northern cities? Or did industrial waste and pollution just kill these people off?

I think you are standing in quicksand on this point?

Opuslola, please tell me why the Republicans governors, who were so against Obamas stimulus package, so happily and rapidly accepted the money, and used it.

No one is leaving the North in "droves" to go to the south. Stop making things up. There is nothing in the south for southerners, let alone extra people.

Fact of the matter is, Republican states fair worse than Democratic states, so what does that say about the two parties economic strategies?

If things are so good in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Deleware, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky, W. Va., etc., then why are the populations of these areas, both White and Black leaving in droves? Most of them are moving, for some reason you fail to realize, to the South!

It is basically a "DUH!"

Just be happy that your Republican ideology has made your states so rich and wonderful. LOL Regardless of the problems that exist in Democratic states, those states still fair better than southerns states.

"Because, as I explained above, the South was still deeply racist and anti-minorities, which drove many northward towards more prosperous regions of the country."

And what has happened to these cities of Gold, that they inhabited? Can you spell Detroit, or Cleveland, or many other of those great places in the North that promised riches, that did not turn out the other way, because Northern Unions were even more agressively Anti-"Negro", than the South!

Unions, in the North were agressively supporting "no Union jobs for Southern Blacks" until well into the 1970's!

You obviously know nothing about the history of the Democratic and Republican parties and what happened in the 1960's which brought about the shift (the shift actually has deeper roots).

Just how does one manipulate the world where a group of people who never knew a family member who would consider voting for a Republican, suddenly saw no other way to vote but Repubican, and visi-versa?


What caused the shift was the Democratic support for the Civil Rights movement. Southern whites were heavily against giving blacks and other minorities equality. The Democratic Party lost the southern vote, and the Republican party came in to fill the void.

No, why would it? Democrats are just as pissed off as Republicans, because we feel as though the Democrats in Washington arent doing enough and should be more aggressive.

Here is what I predict will happen: Republicans (Tea Partiers) will vote Republican, and Democrats will vote Democrat, which will result in little if any change. Republicans have a good chance of winning a few new seats, but nothing major.

And, yesterday The Rush Limbaugh show was hosted by one of my favorite persons of all time, his name is Walter E. Williams, and I know Mrs. Williams was also listening! His first guest was also one of my favorite persons, his name is Thomas Sowell!

Have you ever heard of either of them?

Actually, Texas is the only Republicans state which contributes to the economy. Other than that, the rest are Democratic States.

And dont even try blaming minorities for the bad shape of Republican states, because a) Republican states have been under firm white southerm control and b) Democratic states tend to have more minorities in many cases.

Fact of the matter is that the Republican economic ideology is outdated and not practical. The United States fairs worse under Republican administrations, Republican states fair worse economically, etc... there is a connection between whose in charge and why things go wrong.

Yankee revenge!


Yeah, it is terrible, but I cannot mention some of the reasons without the "r--ist" word being emitted! So I shall not mention it!

I guess the Republican states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, N.Carolina, etc., are so backward so Yankees can find a good home, for a good price, in a rather safe neighborhood, where by they can live and retire in comfort and safety!

That is a good enough reason is it not!

We are watching you and we know just where you live! We only attack rich Democrates, that have not filed income tax for many years! Lots of current Democrat leaders have yet to find out how to do their taxes!

I wonder why?


What big shift are you talking about? The Republican Party is slowly dying. At best, the Republican party can hope to win seats it had lost in already conservative parts of the country. The Republican party is not going to make any inroads in Democratic parts of the country.

Also, can you please answer this question for me:

Why is the south economically struggling? It has been under Republican leadership for decades.

Why are Democratic states richer? They have been under Democratic leadership for decades.

Please give me the reason why the Republican states fair worse than Democratic states.

Well I thought you didnt need our aid? How about Mississippi, A Republican run state, simply refuse to accept government money? Surely there is no law preventing Mississippi from doing that?

Please stop taking our money. Contact your governor tomorrow and ask him to, as a good conservative, refuse to accept aid money from the federal government because its big government.

Just dont come back crying to the rest of the country when you realize that Mississippi isnt that great of a place to live when its reduced to third world conditions.

Nukes are federal property, make your own nukes and use them, why do you want to use the nukes that I pay for with my tax money? I dont want the nukes that everyone pays for to be used for Mississippi, if you want a nuke to use to plug up the whole, invest the money, develop the technology, build your own nukes, with your own money.

I don't want to take a pay cut to work for the "team!", but surprise, surprise, it seems many of these so called "workers" have been "imported" to Mississippi! A lot of them, it seems are from Illinois and Wisconsin, etc., or in your words those states who give their money to Mississippi! Local Mississippi workers seem unable to be asked to work even though they are registered and trained!

Strange huh?


Very strange that Mississippi that struggles all the time needs outside help...AGAIN? Not strange at all.

Ask your Republican governments why they have never prepared for such a disaster, even though they are heavily involved in, and rely on, the oil industry in the South.

I never thought I'd say this, but Opuslola, I 100% agree with you in that government aid should not be given to those who do not want it. Counties/states who vote Republican should have all their federal aid taken away from them..that means money for schools, law enforcement, infrastructure, health care, etc... and that extra bit of money you get which keeps your states afloat.

We should have a new census which allows people to indicate whether they want government aid or not at an individual level. Those who choose not to pay taxes should have their government given privileges taken away, and those who choose to pay taxes should go on enjoying the benefits.

But this does mean that those who voted against federal aid would may be left stranded to fend for themselves.

No big government!

Well go down there and do some work.

Gosh! They are only allowed to work 20 minutes out of an hour! I just hope these guys and gals can last over the long haul? After all they are making a very good wage for their type of job here on the coast line of Mississippi, that is $12.00 per hour! Since they are only allowed to work one third of an hour at a time, then I would suggest we pay them what they are worth, that is $4.00 per hour!


Maybe you should go down there and show them how to do their job instead of complaining on an internet forum?

Also, how much is minimum wage in Mississippi, $4? Yike?!Dead

Who knows?


Go volunteer or apply for a job then. Go do something about it, its in your back yard. What, youre waiting for the government to come to your aid? Youre waiting for my tax money? Stop complaining and go do it yourself.

The people with whom I share this little part of America, have had to live behind the protecting bands of concertina wire before! We were even threatened by the troops who patrolled the area!

But most of those guys could not follow their orders! They had common sense!

Keep the Federal buracracy out! OUT!



I completely agree with you here.

I say that the federal government should stop giving any aid to any state that is against "big government" (i.e the South).

You have more to lose than we do, actually, the rest of the country has nothing to lose considering that its our tax money going to your economically struggling states thats keeping you afloat!

Stop giving my tax money to Mississippi!

BP will not pay you anything because the Republican Party (which controls your states) does not want to hold BP accountable. So you wouldnt get anything from anybody.

Really? You dont need us for anything? Than why is it our money that is being given in aid to your poor states? Without us states like Mississippi would become like third world countries. We are giving you the economic aid that you need to survive, remember that.

Hard to answer is it not? I guess you would have to argue that the "POOR" in these states is hypnotized by the "RICH" to vote for them?

But, I will just await your response with "baited breath?"



This is actually very easy to answer. The people are conservative in those areas, thus they vote for the Republican Party ----> The Republican Party doesnt care about the average person, only personal wealth ---> therefore these states/counties tend to be poor because the Republican model of government simply does not work.

So they are not poor because they are  conservatives, they are poor because they vote Republican. This isnt the case in Democratic states/counties, which tend to be richer and more prosperous and actually have to give aid to the struggling Republican states/counties.

The Republican ideology simply does not work.
