CAROL SWAIN DEBUNKS THREE “PARTY SWITCH” MYTHS
THE STORY OF THE TWO PARTIES SWITCHING IDENTITIES IS A MYTH.
IN FACT, IT’S THREE MYTHS WRAPPED INTO ONE FALSE NARRATIVE.
LET’S TAKE A BRIEF LOOK AT EACH MYTH IN TURN.
<<<MYTH NUMBER ONE>>>: IN ORDER TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE SOUTH, THE REPUBLICANS STARTED TO PANDER TO WHITE RACISTS IN THE 1960S.
<<<FACT>>>: THE REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY BECAME COMPETITIVE IN THE SOUTH AS EARLY AS 1928, WHEN THE REPUBLICAN HERBERT HOOVER WON OVER 47 PERCENT OF THE SOUTH’S POPULAR VOTE AGAINST DEMOCRAT AL SMITH.
IN 1952, THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT DWIGHT EISENHOWER WON THE SOUTHERN STATES OF TENNESSEE, FLORIDA AND VIRGINIA.
AND IN 1956, HE PICKED UP LOUISIANA, KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA, TOO.
AND THAT WAS AFTER HE SUPPORTED THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION THAT DESEGREGATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS; AND AFTER HE SENT THE 101ST AIRBORNE TO LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL TO ENFORCE INTEGRATION.
CORRECTION: PRESIDENT DWIGHT EISENHOWER ORDERED 101ST AIRBORNE TO LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, IN SEPTEMBER 1957; THAT IS, AFTER THE 1956 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, NOT AS STATED IN THE VIDEO, BEFORE THE ELECTION.
<<<MYTH NUMBER TWO>>>: THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS, ANGRY WITH THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, SWITCHED PARTIES.
<<<FACT>>>: OF THE 21 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WHO OPPOSED THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT, JUST ONE BECAME A REPUBLICAN.
THE OTHER 20 CONTINUED TO BE ELECTED AS DEMOCRATS, OR WERE REPLACED BY OTHER DEMOCRATS.
ON AVERAGE, THOSE 20 SEATS DIDN’T GO REPUBLICAN FOR ANOTHER TWO-AND-A-HALF DECADES.
<<<MYTH NUMBER THREE>>>: SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DOMINATED THE SOUTH.
<<<FACT>>>: RICHARD NIXON, THE MAN WHO IS OFTEN CREDITED WITH CREATING THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, LOST THE DEEP SOUTH IN 1968.
IN CONTRAST, THE DEMOCRAT JIMMY CARTER NEARLY SWEPT THE REGION IN 1976 – 12 YEARS AFTER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.
AND IN 1992, OVER 28 YEARS LATER, THE DEMOCRAT BILL CLINTON WON GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS, TENNESSEE, KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA.
THE TRUTH IS, THE REPUBLICANS DIDN’T HOLD A MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN CONGRESSIONAL SEATS UNTIL 1994, 30 YEARS AFTER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.
CAROL SWAIN IS A CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENTIST AND LEGAL SCHOLAR WHO IS A RETIRED PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND LAW AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY.
AGENDA: GRINDING AMERICA DOWN
THE FACT-BASED DOCUMENTARY DETAILING A COMMUNIST AGENDA FOR THE LAST 70 YEARS TO CORRUPT AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS – FROM EDUCATION TO HOLLYWOOD TO MEDIA – AND SABOTAGE AMERICA, AND ITS VALUES FROM WITHIN.
THE MAIN STRATEGY IS TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER – TO TURN AMERICANS AGAINST EACH OTHER.
AFTER WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY, AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS.
THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT THE DEMOCRATS IS TO CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE – DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS.
ONCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIND OUT THE TRUTH – DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS, IT COULD DESTROY THE PARTY FOREVER.
