I did not intend to bash the south. My apologies if it was taken that way.

Turn of the century politicians were quite different than today. Here is a map of the 1896 election:

Red is republican for McKinley.
Blue is democrat for Bryan

Robin Williams ancestor was a liberal who favored going off of the Gold Standard. That eventually happened. Now Obama is printing money as fast as possible.

My intent was to note that liberal Robin Williams had a liberal ancestor.

Again, my apologies. I happen to have a deep respect for several "deep south" conservatives and those who support them. I have a hard time coming up with more than one northern republican that I respect.

Thanks

I’m sorry

By political correctness standards no politician back then was as vile libtard as today

Imagine a Senator from Connecticut or Alabama in 1896 favoring abortion or gay marriage or gun confiscations or confiscatory tax rates of any kind or property rights erosion or an open border for votes and so forth

Today’s libs are just neurotic pessimists.
