Plenty of NBF admirers in the Volunteer State.

Overpasses on I-40 will be thronged with people waving Confederate flags when debate begins in Nashville.

Let’s expound upon the morals and honesty of MLK,Jr. The hour he died found a woman in his bed that was not his wife. Abernathy and Jackson had to whisk her away to preserve his “legacy”.
