American Conservatism today an extension of the values and attitudes of the Southern Plantation owners?

American Conservatism today is an alarming extension of the values and attitudes of the Southern Plantation owners. Examples of this can be seen in:

The lack of regard for people of color; the belief that they are not 'true' citizens (or even a person);

The distrust for the US government to the point of subversion, refusing to support it because it is somehow 'foreign';

Fooling poor and uneducated White men into fighting and dying in wars that only serve the land owners and arms dealers;

Selling 'Patriotism' as a special club for themselves as whites and the rich;

The using the term 'elite' which ORIGINALLY referred to wealthy slave owners;

Refusing to support universal education, racial and gender equality;

Unabashedly and arrogantly expressing a exaggerated sense of their own importance;

Thinking that 'their' way is so superior that they the 'God Given Right' to be as slanderous and dishonest as they want;

Seeing taxes, not as a patriotic duty, but a gross imposition on their person freedom;

The sense of entitlement, disdain for others, and lack of belief in their own government has descended into the heart of American politics DIRECTLY from the Southern Plantation Land Owners. It was an EVIL then that nearly destroyed our country, and it is EVIL now that is trying to do exactly the same thing.

    AMEN TO THAT ! you are so right they carried that racism from the days of slavery right into the future 2012. The only reason they dont like Obama is because of his color and not his work. The man is working double hard trying to get this country back in shape and the cons throw obstacles in his way every chance they get to make him fail. Thats the most unpetriotic thing they can do, throw the country under the bus so they can get the black president out of office. What a country...

  • Obviously not. It's ALL Democrats who STILL cling to the plantation mentality.

    It's ALL DEMOCRATS who claim people of color are UNABLE to meet basic human achievement simply BECAUSE of their color.

    It's ALL Democrats who DEMAND subversion of any and all LEGITIMATE government.

    Our warriors are BETTER EDUCATED than their civilian peers and come from RICHER backgrounds.

    It's ALL Democrats who claim 'Patriotism' = open disdain for the U.S.

    It's ALL Democrats who claim we NEED to be RULED by the 'elite.'

    It's ALL Democrats who demand INFERIOR education for non-whites.

    It's ALL Democrats who openly claim to be superior to "regular people."

    It's DEMOCRATS who do their all to avoid taxes while demanding OTHERS pay more.

    It's DEMOCRATS who openly CLAIM "entitlement" and pour-out disdain and even violence on others simply for disagreeing.

    I agree it's EVIL and you are literally 100% certain you cannot find even ONE elected Democrat to whom ALL of it does not apply.

    LOL! Ask Herman Cain which party has a lack of regard for people with color.

    (Sorry, I only got as far as your second line) You should save your overtly BS statements for later in your rant if you want people to read it all

    You could be the biggest blowhard ever. the fact that you even wrote this "question" just makes me worry that the U.S. will end up even worse than Greece.

    More accurately, the welfare state is the liberal plantation.
