You do realize the parties realigned, and the Dixiecrats are now the Republican base, right?
Talk about needing a history course.
Good lord. Please tell us where you went to school; whoever taught you needs to have their license revoked.
The First Crusade was declared in 1096. The Battle of Tours, where the Franks beat back the Umayyad Caliphate, was in 732. You're off by 364 years!
The Ninth and last Crusade ended in 1272. Even at that point crusades were merely political wars draped in religious language. The Siege of Vienna was in 1529. You're getting better, you're only off by 257 years this time.

and the Crusades (some of them anyway) were launched because Islamic forces were at the gates of Vienna and had conquered most of Spain and were pushing into France.
