SI1020 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 George Wallace was a lifelong Democrat. He was also a complicated, multi-facted human being and politician. No I am not a segragationist, I live in the inner city and my kids were raised in the inner city. Wallace actually started out in politics as somewhat of a "liberal" by southern standards of the time. When he campaigned against the Klan in the 1958 primary for Alabama governor he was soundly defeated. Then he turned nasty. After he was shot, he reverted back to his original stance, that of being liberal on racial matters. If anyone is interested then you can check out this web site on George Wallace This was done by PBS so I hope I will not be called any nasty names.

cwsox Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 You are partially right on George Wallace with a very significant exception. After Wallace lost in 1958 (running as non-screaming segragationist, not against the Klan) he vowed never to be "outn*****ed" again. However he was not a lifelong Democrat. He ran for president in November 1968 as a third party "America First" candidate. He left the Democrats some time after the confrontation with JFK over the University of Alamaba (standing in the school hosue door after winning election declaring "segregation yestersay, segregation today, segregation forever) and LBJ's subsequent getting civil rights legislation through the Congress and signed into law when LBJ was president. Wallace's Alabama was as vicious to the civil rights campaign as any state, arguably, the most vicious. That is what made the March to Selma and the Battle for Birmingham Bridge so legendary. He came back to the Democratic party for the 1972 primary campaign when he was shot. He would have fared poorly overall in the 1972 nomination campaign had it gone full course for him, although he had a one or a couple of primary victories, one of them in Michigan which after massive Republican crossovers. The Michigan Democratic party has never had an open, binding primary since, its all been by caucus, after that one. In my opinion, George Wallace was never a liberal on race relations or anything. He ran what, both of his wives for governor of Alabama when he could not run, to keep control of that state government. He finally stopped fighting against African Americans when the political reality was that he needed their votes to win. He was never a Republican, but that was due to Alabama conditions, not out of any love for the Democratic party or hostility to the Republcians. For the record, Strom Thurmond was a Democrat until Humbert Humphrey's famous speech to the 1948 Democratic convention which set the party on the road to civil rights. Thurmond ran for president in 1948 as a States Rights third party candidate in that ununusal election that had two 'third parties" (Henry Wallace, no relation in anyway!!!, to George, ran also.) Thurmond left the Democrats for good after the 1965 passage of the Civil Rights Bill and became a Republican permanently. All throughout the years of Republican majority in the Senate since the 1980s until he retired this month, Strom Thurmond was elected by the Republicans as president pro tempore of the Senate, which put him third in line for the presidency after the vice president and the Speaker of the House. For that, the Republicans never should have had a majority, in my opinion. You are a sweet guy and a real peach! Now don't worry about being called nasty names, at leaset by me.

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I, for one, would support our team selling the rights to their stadium? After all, is it not a team's objective to generate income to build us a winning team? Granted our management does not really allocate their funds very rationally, but I don't think an extra $40 million could hurt us. Does the corporation really need that extra money lining the pockets of their board members? I say give up the name Comiskey Park to the highest bidder. I don't consider myself a vain person and I don't think the name Comiskey really holds any value near and dear to myself. I couldn't tell you two things about Charles Comiskey besides his name if I wanted to (or cared). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very insulting comments to penis' don't you think? The body part he reminded me of was the asshole. Oh my, look what I started. Well, well, well, it looks like our "peace loving, bleeding heart" liberal friends aren't so peaceful after all. Go figure. Maybe all of you "bleeding hearts" are just angry because of the massacre that occured in last November's elections, that saw the Democrats taking a beating that even the Cubs pitching has never seen? One more point for you geniuses. Keep in mind that all of these "evil" corporations that you speak of, also provide jobs for hundreds of millions of people. Jobs that enable those people to feed their families, educate their children and have a roof over their heads. But I suppose to people like you none of that makes any difference compared to the tragedy that is PETCO Park, United Center or Safeco Field.

The Republicans went from 49 Senators to 51. Gees was it only in 2000 when they had 55? And to go from 49 to 51 was only a few thousand votes in Missouri, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. It was very close and no mandate for anyone and hardly a beating that "Cubs pitching has never seen." Making statements that are ill-informed or factually incomplete won't fly here.

Have a nice day Actually I am quite peaceful, it's just when moronic douches like yourself come in and attempt to pontificate, then I do indeed get a bit angry. Especially when it is your first f***ing post on the boards. Oh you mean the same corporations that move jobs to NAFTA friendly, lower wage, no union Mexico...or even better.....temp workers! Manpower Inc. (an employer of temp workers for various firms) is the #1 employer in all the U.S. multinationals. Temp work means no raises, no unions, and s*** salary and they can be fired at any time because it is only a temporary job and they get no benefits. And about the election, there were more Democratic incumbant seats going up than GOP, but in 2004 when Bush gets his ass kicked, the GOP has more Congressional seats going up than Democrats. And who the f*** said I am a Democrat? Look at my f***ing signature and you'll see that I am not a Democrat. You may want to pull your head out of your ass and see which party my affiliation belongs to before you go off an ignorant rant. An ignorant Republican. Who could have guessed? What makes a difference to me is that Osama bin Laden committed 9/11 yet we are going after Iraq. What makes a difference to me is that they passed the USA Patriot Act which allows for searches without warrants, arresting people without charging them, destroying attorney/client protected conversations, increased tapping into e-mail, phone, letters, and other communications all in the name of "homeland security." (by the way, doesn't "Homeland Security" sound a little Nazi fascist to anybody else? ) What matters to me is that U.S. corporations sold weapons of mass destruction to Iraq, yet we blame them for having any. What makes a difference to me is that our president went AWOL in the Texas Air National Guard because he did not want to take a physical which would expose his cocaine habit. What is important to me is not worrying so much about a "War on Terror" but worrying about the economy and the millions of people that are not covered with any sort of health care (It's beginning to look a lot like 1984. Endless endless war) What is important to me is that bloodthirsty corporations like Monsanto, Bechtel, and UPS have used GATT to say that laws protecting people from possible cancer causing goods (i.e. rBST engineered milk) are barriers to free trade, that Bechtel wanted to privatize the Bolivian water supply but couldn't so they are using GATT to demand millions of dollars back from the Bolivian government just because the Bolivian people didn't want to see their water prices triple. What is important to me is that Ari Fleischer tells Americans to "Watch what they say and watch what they do". What is important to me is that our "President" (i use that term loosely with Dubya because he didn't really win) is buddies with oil conglomerates and weapons manufacturers so he is willing to go to war to line their pockets. Address my other post with "our wonderful fuzzy wuzzy corporations that provide so much", why did they manufacture and sell weapons to our enemy then? If they are so good then why did they perpetrate such an evil act? Or is that just a lie from the liberal media? But if conglomorate corporations like GE own all t he media, I have a hard time believing there could ever be a liberal spin. I don't think we need to have a new feudal system where our corporate gods tell us that they own us by naming our sports stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach23 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I love my SUV, so f*** the ELF. If I had the money I would by another one too. In the summer time one of my favorite activities is to run my gas mower and spray aerosol products outside while burning styrofoam on my charcoal grill. I love my SUV. I love my 60 inch TV. I love every modern convienence and gadget I own. I eat meat because animals are tasty. I don't wear fur though, because I am not a pimp. I'm still in the pimp apprentice program, so maybe one day I will have to wear fur, but I'm really trying to get around it because Chinchilla and Rabbit make me look fat. I will continue to live how I want and have a damn good f***ing time doing so. i have worked hard and nothing was given to me. Someday I will be dead and none of this s*** will matter anyway. Mabye I will get hit by a truck or train in my SUV and die screaming while tasting my own blood. So be it. Or maybe I will choke on a huge chunk of T-bone steak and collapse face first into my last meal. So be it. Or, maybe I will have a massive grabber while banging the living s*** out of some 25 year old co-ed when I'm 80. If that one happens, look for the end of the world to follow because I think that may be one of the signs of the apocolypse. Or, maybe I will be like 80% of the other average Joe Americans that have come before and after me and spend my life working 40 hours a week to support a family while living in a decent home and trying to enjoy life however and wherever I can, until one day I'm dead and the rest of the world moves on. f*** it, I don't care. Maybe tonight I will get drunk, have a nice cigar, eat a big steak and beat off to some of the free porn I'm stealing off the sattelite dish. Life is good.

But even conservative pundit, Bill O'Reilly said that SUV's need to be better made and more regulated to get more gas mileage and be built more safely (did you see that part too, Baggio?...cuz for like one of the rare times, I actually agreed with him, haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Zach I think you emobdy everything that every man feels. We can talk a big talk about the other people in this country but when it comes down to it, we are all self-interested. The very reason are economy is broad and diverse is that people are self-interested. Companies wouldn't sell SUV's if people didn't buy them, I don't care how good your advertising is (Remember Crystal Pepsi?). Restaurants wouldn't sell steak if godammit, steak didn't taste so damn good. Let's say I turn 21 and I choose to buy a rifle. This is my right. It is not to say that I will do this, only that I embrace the freedom that allows me to do so. Now let's say twenty years later I go and shoot my neighbor with that gun because his lawn looks like s***. Who is to blame? Certainly not the store that sold me the gun those twenty years ago. This is to say we cannot keep up with the rest of the world if we are constantly second guessing ourselves. Now suppose I threatened to kill my neighbor a week before. Is this not a form of harrassment/assault? Is this not punishable in our country? I say we hold the nations of this to world to similar to standards before being so quick to find an American to blame for the problem. If I die tomorrow, I will die satisfied having lived my life the way I wanted to and not the way that least offended others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
