Segregationists delayed my embrace of conservative truths for more than a decade. So in the late seventies, while Wallace was already taking actions to be proud of due to his change of heart, I was still voting for liberals. So you can see why I would be bitter about this.

What did segregation have to do with conservative truths? And did the liberals you voted for include Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.)? This champion of the Communist-appeasing Left was a hard-core segregationist.

Not much. Remember there was no lively conservative media then, so I only had the MSM to learn from while growing up. They called segregationists conservatives, like they now paint fraudulent bankers as conservatives. And they distorted any actual useful conservative principles like State Sovereignty, by pointing only to the abuses such as segregation. I hope you don’t think I am blind to the follies of my youth.
