North Carolina Republican challenger Vernon Robinson has an ad out that is getting a lot of conservative attention. The ad is pure right-wing bullcrap, but it is interesting nevertheless as insight into the "conservative" mindset.
Go to and expect to be landed into the Conservative Zone:

Then in some comments about the ad from Free Republic, there is one telling post that highlights the motivation for the voting behavior of our conservative citizens:
"I'd vote for him, just to see the liberals freak out." - Richard Kimball
Yep ... and that's about it, folks. The whole substance of the "moral-majority"/heartland/values-voters thinking in a winged nutshell.
Banality of Evil and all that.
I cannot answer why Richard Kimball of Free Republic so desperately wants to see "liberals freak out." America and the Southern states included have done pretty well under liberal society, but maybe coming from generations of racism does that to you.
But we should pay attention. These are not Americans as we like to think of them. They have no allegiance to principle, no dedication to our commonwealth. They vote to destroy, fighting by proxy a new Civil War. This is the mindset of the Confederacy, hating the Northerners without cause, and without mercy.
Substitute "liberal" for Yankee and we are close to naming the problem.
But these freepers are just the convenient idiots. My real question is about such politicians as would stir up the populace to internal division (and personal gain). We should remember our own history, and remember that the Civil War was a politician's war.
Some of our politicians are giving the worst among us a target: other American citizens. We are hearing this jackass Vernon Robinson repeat the divisive, bitter Old South rhetoric of civil war (and by a black man, too!). Conservatives have no shame.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THESE PEOPLE SUCH INFLUENCE? We have the example of their intentions in our history books, and our nation still bears the scars.
Maybe we need to take the fight right to the door of these new civil war-mongers. Bury the rabid dogs (by metaphor) once and for all. We know where they are trying to push things.
Because they have done this before. And hope to do it again.
