I respect Wallace too. I can respect a man that is willing to admit he was wrong.
He was wrong on some things but he was right on so many more. He was a strong advocate of giving more power to the states and less to the federal government. We would be better off today if we had done that.
And so he grew up to be a gay supremacist.
From Wallace’s Wiki page:
“In the late 1970s, Wallace announced that he was a born-again Christian and apologized to black civil rights leaders for his past actions as a segregationist. He said that while he had once sought power and glory, he realized he needed to seek love and forgiveness. In 1979, Wallace said of his stand in the schoolhouse door: “I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over.”

He was a much better man than Tim Cook is.
And so he grew up to be a gay supremacist.
That’s a good way of putting it.
He’s going to alienate a significant portion of Apple’s customer base.
As a homosexual you have already sold your soul...
Wallace at one point was a rather despicable guy.
As I understand it, he realized he had made mistakes and tried to make up for it.
I’ll never understand his bad actions, but I do respect someone who realizes they were wrong, does a 180, and tries to make up for their mistakes.
It bothers me when people only remember the bad Wallace. While those years should be remembered, some footnote should be made to address his changes for the better.
Wallace was not big government or a liberal. I don’t know where that came from.
He’s going to alienate a significant portion of Apple’s customer base..
And their shareholders.
Waitaminute! Isn’t the Apple Freeper that we know of supposed to post Apple crap, er I mean related articles?
Oh I get it. He just ignores anything bad about Apple and just posts everything good. Even though Tim Cook is a fag lover.
Yes, I saw the documentary on Wallace. He did transform through Jesus Christ. I believed he truly became a better man. Too bad he stayed a Democrat.
Also, the Wallace story tells me how Blacks are being used by Democrats. They voted for a segregationist while rejecting Republicans who stood against segregation.
Wallace’s family did become republicans. George Wallace would have left too. Democrats sold their souls.
I don’t really know much about the Apple Freeper. All I know is that I find Tim Cook to be repulsive.
All liberals sicken me, especially the pro homo leftards.
and especially the gay lovers on FR.
My hs junior class toured the GA captitol when GCW was visiting with Gov. JEC in spring 1972. We saw them both.
During the early 2000s 1 of my family branches held reunions in the old Barbour County HS in Clio, AL. This was the small rural hometown of GCW when he was growing up. My maternal grandfather remembered seeing him on the streets in Clio as a young man. His father was a prominent banker in town. Anyway, the upstairs of the HS had a 2-room museum dedicated to GCW. It was there I learned of his WWII service in the Pacific on board B-29s. He came down with a sickness which left him partially deaf and I believe some periphereal nerve damage. He received a medical discharge from the USAAF before the end of WWII.
It was different times back in the 1960s and things had to change. The public schools were segregated, and apparently, students had to buy their own textbooks. Gov. GCW found a way to provide state funds for textbooks for the black schools because it was well known that black families didn't place much empahsis on education and would not buy the textbooks. I got this story from my mother who was a junior high school teacher in Phenix City, AL, from 1953-1965.
I give credit where it is due, but Wallace was a committed democrat to the day he died.
He supported Clinton.
But he was a conservative democrat.
Now THAT is a rare bird indeed.
? BTW, Tim Cook is a moron.
Jimmah Carter was probably a bigger racist than Wallace at the time. Look at some of his campaign material when he ran for governor.
Don't tell me Carter wasn't angling for the "white" vote.
It was blatant.
And look at Jimmah TODAY.
In what way is he NOT an anti-Semite?
Does Cook really want to sing Carter's praises?
In Birmingham, they love the governor. Boo, boo, boo.
Jimmy is anti-Semitic today and he was then.
Some of those that used to work for Jimmy then later came out and said he hated Jews. I’ve read that he used to privately cuss the Jews.
