The KKK and confederates were almost exclusively extremely conservative.

That being said, reparations are dumb.

This is a bit of an oversimplification.

The race-based conservatism in the American South differed from the business-based conservatism in the American North. There was a massive difference between the two. Those "conservative" southerners were often opposed to the "conservative" north's little regulation of big business and corporate railroad and their power over the small workers and farmers. Hence why Democrats are big on unions and had a more liberal skew. The intertwining ideologies are way more complex than simply stating "the KKK was conservative."

They were Democrats.

They were Democrats.

Would you say that your political stance more closely aligns with the Democrats or Republicans of that era?

Is that why Trump was a Democrat until just a few years ago?

It's so fascinating to watch old Trump interviews and appearances on late night television.


Bill Clinton is a lovely guy, he's a great guy.

This is the regime Trump is shaking hands with and walking onto their soil with. We have no reason to be making pals with the North Korean regime.

This is treasonous. Obviously you haven't actually read the Mueller report and are just listening to CNN's spin. Mueller clears Kim Jong-un of everything. Prison camps and claims of torture are Fake News. Warmbier slipped on a bar of soap. How dare you interfere in our President's efforts to negotiate with the peace-loving North Koreans? He wrote "Art of the Deal" -- Kim Jong-un will never know what hit him.

Those interfering with POTUS and publishing Fake News need to be sued for libel and convicted of treason!!!

It doesn’t have much to do with conservative or not. The reason why it got so much play was that Smollett was famous. Ngo is not.

Define famous. I had never heard of either until their incidents.

We literally have masked gangs nearly rioting in a major U.S. city. Is has nothing to do with "fame." The media is silent on Antifa's violence. They refuse to cover it. It is going to take someone who is attacked by Antifa, using any force necessary, to defend themselves. This goes way beyond throwing milkshakes (which is still a crime). They often use bats, clubs, hammers, etc. And if someone is attacked with those, which are all deadly weapons, they have every right to defend themselves.





Notice how Antifa tends to violently attack people in certain cities...cities that restrict the rights of people to defend themselves.

Get a grip! Every past administration has punted on the North Korea issue. Or given lip service or crappy deals they had no intention of living by. So why not try a new approach ? The goal is to stop their nuke program. Think outside the box.

how do you think Otto’s parents feel about this?

Why should we legitimize a despotic murderer?

We should deal with them through China and Russia.

I'm going to have to disagree pretty strongly with you here.

The Smollett case was a perfect crime for the woke crowd and the leftist media. It was a white/MAGA crime on a gay black man, because he was gay and black. The media were tripping over themselves to cover that story.

You may be right, but you can’t deny that saying gay, black, famous man makes it an even better story.
