Are you kidding? Andy Griffith was (and Ron Howard is) a screaming lefty, "Gomer" was homosexual, etc.
This insane upside down world we live in was not created by newcomers. It was created by the same elites who have governed us all along.

The McGovernites took over the Democrat Party in 1972. It has gone further and further leftwards faster and faster since then...............................
At the time the show first aired, none of them were particularly political. I mean Ron Howard was like what? Six years old? At that age the only party that interested me was the birthday party.
