1. I used the word MODERN conservative thought, primarily as it relates to the GOP. The fact that you keep ignoring the word MODERN and reshaping the GOP over the last 40 years nullifies your argument.

2. Mentioning JFK's election is idiotic since Barry hadn't run for president yet, nor has the south's shift to the GOP begun.

3. Southern Dixiecrat/Democrat voters began voting GOP after the civil rights act was signed, in fact, Lyndon Johnson said that the civil rights act was the end of Democrat power in the SOuth.

4. One of the reasons that Barry didn't win more southern states in his run for president was because the nation was mourning JFK. That being said, he still won five.

5. Barry's presidential nomination was powered by southern voters switching to the GOP from the Democrat parties, in fact, Barry used to be a Democrat - so was Strom Thurman. This transition culminated with Reagan.

6. Yes, Democrats get elected down south too - but in overall, it's still a GOP stronghold and is significantly more conservative than it was prior to Barry, for the simple fact that it was nearly impossible prior to Barry's run for president for a Republican to get any votes down south.

Nor does it change the fact that Democrats vs. Republicans used to be divided more along North vs. South lines than Conservative vs. Liberal lines. As they were conservatives and liberals in both parties.

You're reaching and failing - as you haven't really countered a single thing I said in the LAST post.
