Larry McDonald (D) Georgia served from January 3, 1975, until his death, on September 1, 1983. His seat represented a contrast in political geography, as Republicans were successfully competing against moderate Democrats using the Southern strategy. Unlike many national Democrats, McDonald hewed to a consistently conservative line on issues such as foreign policy, defense spending, fiscal restraint, states rights, gun rights, and was pro-life, while mounting campaigns that successfully combined modern elements with a more traditional grassroots strategy. It paid off in the fall; while many of his fellow Democrats succumbed to Republican opponents or switched parties, McDonald managed to retain his seat.
McDonald, who considered himself a traditional Democrat "cut from the cloth of Jefferson and Jackson",[6] was known for his conservative views, even by Southern standards. Given his Old Right and Southern views, he was more conservative than the Republican Party. In fact, one scoring method published in the American Journal of Political Science[7] named him the second most conservative member of either chamber of Congress between 1937 and 2002 (behind only Ron Paul).[8] The American Conservative Union gave him a perfect score of 100 every year he was in the House of Representatives, except in 1978, when he scored a 95.[9] He also scored "perfect or near perfect ratings" on the congressional scorecards of the National Right to Life Committee, Gun Owners of America, and the American Security Council.[10] Referred to by The New American as "the leading anti-Communist in Congress",[10] McDonald admired Senator Joseph McCarthy[11] and was a member of the Joseph McCarthy Foundation.[3] He took the communist threat seriously and considered it an international conspiracy. An admirer of Austrian economics and a member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute,[3] he was an advocate of tight monetary policy in the late 1970s to get the economy out of stagflation, and advocated returning to the gold standard.[12] McDonald called the welfare state a "disaster"[13] and favored phasing control of the Great Society programs over to the states to operate and run.[14] He also favored cuts to foreign aid, saying, "To me, foreign aid is an area that you not only can cut but you could take a chainsaw to in terms of reductions."[14]
His staunch conservative views on social issues attracted controversy. For instance, McDonald sponsored amendments to stop government aid to homosexuals.[15] McDonald also co-sponsored a bill "expressing the sense of the Congress that homosexual acts and the class of individuals who advocate such conduct shall never receive special consideration or a protected status under law".[16] He advocated the use of the non-approved drug laetrile to treat patients in advanced stages of cancer[17] despite medical opinion that the promotion of laetrile to treat cancer was a canonical example of quackery.[18][19][20] McDonald also opposed the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,[3][21] saying the FBI had evidence that King "was associated with and being manipulated by communists and secret communist agents".[22] However, he supported many African-American causes and was the prime mover in dedicating two statues in the US Congress Capital Rotunda-area, to prominent African American leaders, including George Washington Carver[citation needed].
McDonald, a reported gun collector, and fire-arms enthusiast, and game hunter, allegedly had "about 200" guns at his official district residence.[23]

What was his economic policy? Most of what you mentioned were social policies.

I'm fairly conservative on social issues, but am more progressive on economic issues. My main objective is stripping the corporate lobbyists of their ability to influence Congress and the White House as well as state legislatures. Actually, outlawing it and prison sentences who violate that law. Making Federal elections publicly funded thus making them beholding only to the voters.
Corporate control of Federal and state politicians is what has led to the decimation of our middle class. It has led to a policy of what is known as neo-liberalism. It has led to all the outsourcing and elimination of jobs and reduction of wages.
It's not rocket science. We need to pursue policies that reduce the supply of labor and increase the demand for labor. The past 30-35 years our elected officials have pursued the exact opposite which has led to much suffering of the American people.
Unlike what most people think, I do not agree with ALL of Bernies proposals, but he is the closest to what I like. I'm not in favor of free everything, but Citizens United needs to be overturned and significant steps need to be made to stopping the corporate influence of our elected officials. Bernie has been the only one to propose such things. It is the epicenter and the spring from which all the evil flows from.

I've known liberals who were very conservative with money and in doing so own a home outright and have paid cash for a car. I've known conservatives that would shutter at the thought of their son with a gun due to mental illness and support common sense laws in regards to obtaining them.
The category of persons politically will kill us.
A country hell bent on division can't stand. my thoughts.

The purpose of the thread...and I should know I created it...
Was there is this misconception that the democratic party is the party of racism...
And that only republicans have ever been conservatives...
Calling a republican a conservative today is as honest as calling today's democrat a racist...
Neither is the case...both statements today would be FALSE...
The southern Democrat was NEVER a liberal...
