This is probably the all time best of Julia's topical speeches. Thank you, Dixie Carter for empowering and inspiring so many people with your dynamic tirades.

The fact that Julia was correct in this debate and lost makes me angry every time I watch this scene. And her argument is still relevant. Rest peacefully now in Heaven, Dixie Carter. ❤️🙏🕊

When you do get fired up and you’re right, it just flows out of you. It’s like the Holy Spirit takes over. It’s happened to me. I’ve been known to shut down conversations with rants like Julia’s. They know they cannot win against me, they didn’t expect it to get that far. They fully expect to be able to just shoot their mouths off without being countered. Nor did they expect someone like me to get up and say anything contrary to them and be correct. That truly blows their mind. They rapidly change the subject after that. 😂

I loved this show, RIP Ms. Carter

@@Ash_W04Dixie Carter was like what many Republicans in the U.S. were like until about the late 1980's. She was not an outspoken flaming liberal like the character she played, but she shared many of Julia Sugarbaker's views, especially with valuing education and intellectual open-mindedness, and supporting and promoting LGBTQ, women and minorities' civil rights, etc. The extreme right-wing shift in the Republican Party started in the 1970's, and the crazy anti-science, anti-establishment streak really took off during the Obama presidency. Then, it was taken over by Trumpist white nationalism. Dixie Carter would not recognize, nor support the current GOP.

The remark that I like (from another episode) is something along the lines of “have you noticed that all of the mini-marts are run by someone either named Abdul or Kevin?” Predicted the future 40 years ago

Watched this as a kid n it stuck w/ me for life. Watching this a couple decades later as an adult w/ heartbreak and hope trying not to lose hope.

It enrages me that these issues are still so prevelent that Julia's speech could be repeated verbatim.

Holy shit Julia Sugarbaker do we need you now 🙏

2020 and still relevant

I loved this show. Rest in peace to both these great actors.

This was one of my all time favourite "Julia Rants" of the whole series! :-)

I can honestly say she was one of my favorite actresses!! She was classy and sassy, a natural beauty, a rare combination!

No body ever did it better, she was a true talent !!!!

Back from three years ago, damn this is still fire!

Julia Sugarbaker was SAVAGE BEYOND BELIEF!! APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE!!

Go Julia! Telling it how it is and how it should be! Sad thing is that in the years between then and now everything happened but not much changed.

Bravo! A powerful message I can benefit from!

Damn straight! She was an amazing woman, and I admired her greatly. She will be missed.

Boy do we need to hear this right now in these troubling times in America!

WHERE has this been!!!??? I've been looking for it for months. YAY! I LOVE this scene. It's SO true too!!

We need her now more than ever.

Preach Julia! Preach! Those words still ring true today!

October 2017.......and this rings more truer than ever!

Still works even more so today

Because people fail to accept that we have to be a collective in order to progress. We have to be progressive. We have to elect progressives like Bernie FUCKING Sanders. We have to see everyone as American, without any difference between "legal" and "illegal" status. We have to see all abuses and murders committed against the Black and Brown communities as atrocities on us all. We have to see the destruction and theft of treatied land of the Indigenous as land theft on us all (and also recognise/accept that the entirety of the Americas belongs originally to the American Indigenous Peoples and them alone. That white Anglican people stole it.). Until we start seeing ourselves as a whole instead of individuals, we will never get to where we should be.

My fave episode! :D I never thought this was a liberal rant. It's simply a CORRECT rant! :D

There was another episode Dixie Carter was in that was really good. The episode was called The First Day of the Last Decade of The Entire Twentieth Century. In that episode she holds the hand and listens to a 102 year old woman speak important wisdom before she passes on. That episode is an episode I will never forget. During these tough times a lot of people would appreciate that episode. I would love to see that whole special episode on youtube again!

Amen Julia!

Loved this woman❣️ My precious liberal-leaning, still learning, adult son sent this video to me, to make a point to this “conservative”mom, lol!, and this is what I wrote back to him, and still feel this way: ‘’❤️ YES! YES! Love her❣️Now...THAT is why I don’t completely fit in, I am in between the right and left, the Church-going Christian(who have little to nothing to do with me because I don’t “love God enough” and am not the “right” kind of Christian)and the non-believer(they don’t get me either, because I have a ‘fairy God’ I love). Remember, son, when we first started out homeschool, went to flag, pledged, had devotional/prayer, each morning etc?...I wanted to expose you to those things so you could make your OWN decision about what to do with those things in your life. I felt they were important, but knew y’all would have to decide for yourselves. DIDNT want you to be spoonfed, to search things out for yourselves, to parrot no one, not even me, your mom, but have your own beliefs. We dropped the pledge eventually, but, not the devotions, at least for a while longer, until y’all got old enough to have prayer or devotions on your own, because, being your mom, and a Christian, I still wanted to teach you there is a God who loves you enough to die for you. Still, all of those things are for individuals to make the ultimate decision, not me. I could only choose for me. Remember how, when people screamed about no prayer in school, or having prayer at games, and I told y’all that no one anywhere can ever STOP you from praying if you desire?...so I never signed those petitions pushed at me to ”get prayer back in school”, (because they had no idea the whole Pandora’s box it would open)and was ostracized by some Christians because , in their mind, there was ‘no way I could be a”true believer” ‘ and do that. Yes, judgement comes from both sides...and I have gotten to experience both. I loved Dixie Carter, loved to hear her talk, express her views, even if they weren’t mine❤️ and I’m not even a liberal😂 I love you, dear son❤️”

@M M You must not have read past the word “Christian”, lol! Seemed to have triggered you, for some reason. You know, every parent, who loves their children, strives to give them the best of themselves...no, not to ‘brainwash’ them, (all parents teach their children, even yours did, I assume), but to show them that they, too, can choose the best for themselves when they go out into the world. They can choose, when they go, to keep parts,or all of what they learned from me, or throw it all completely away...that is their choice. But I had to be true to myself in teaching and raising them, so they can know the importance of being true to themselves when they enter the adult world and are on their own. And they ARE true to themselves: they don’t stand in judgement of others, (like so many, especially now, seem to do)or ridicule what others believe, knowing that others have the same right as they do to seek their own answers for themselves and have their own beliefs, and they are definitely not spoon fed...by anyone. No, I have nothing to be ‘ashamed’ of. I’m very proud of the young adults they have become, and I completely enjoy the relationship we have.

@M M No, you made yourself clear. We’ll just have to agree to disagree. You don’t wait for your children to grow up to live out whatever you believe. Did you? You have to be all of who you are in front of your children, faults, beliefs, morals, and all, otherwise, you are being a hypocrite. You seem to harbor an issue with ‘religion’. ‘Religion’ was invented by man, as a way to find God, truth, purpose, or what have you. ‘Christianity’, or Christ, is what God gave man in order for man to find Him and His truth, salvation. Christianity is not about religion, but a personal relationship with Christ. That is why it will not ‘die as other religions’, because...it isn’t. Our children can always choose for themselves what path they will take. I know I did.

Dixie Carter to me is a true American. It's no secret the actress was of the Republican old-school. It's no secret she played the character of Julia Sugarbaker as a liberated feminist to teeth. With the words crafted by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, two worlds came together and it was always perfect harmony. That is what America should be.

I think that this video says alot about what is going on in the USA today!!! I think that if more people understood what "Julia Sugarbaker" was saying we would be alot better off!!!!

WOW! How did she memorize all that and deliver it which such ease?
