A friend of my uncle had been a book keeper for George Parr before he moved here. Back home with his mother.
A good family friend was J.C. Davis. He was assistant Texas AG for several administrations. He loathed Lyndon. As a young man, I got a real education about that and other incidents from him.
At the time TX was 100% Democrat. But those in charge were fiscal conservatives. Lyndon was certainly not.
For reference, I was never a Democrat. By the time I was old enough to vote (21 then), I had already seen enough. Long before Texas moved into the Republican column.
Lyndon was a terrible president and consequences of his term has caused enormous damage to the nation.
LBJ basks in the glow of the “martyred” JFK who, by the way, was also a terrible president by all objective accounts.
“Lyndon was a terrible president and consequences of his term has caused enormous damage to the nation.”
I second that.
He managed to do a lot of his damage with the collaboration of Republican liberals, something those inclined to vote for the GOPe should consider.
