Because in those days the democrats were the good guys. Today the roles have been reversed.

Democrats had some virtues, some vices, from the word go.

They labored under the special moral onus of being largely for the s-word: slavery. They thought they HAD slaves, but were ignorant that this made them INTO slaves. What you consider fair to do to another man, becomes fair to do unto you too. The golden rule, or what goes around comes around.

Today, when we remember Dixie, we generally do it with images of what a free Dixie would look like. Gone are the slaves. If we were brutally honest about antebellum Dixie, we’d be dismayed in many cases about what went on.

I believe there is still the potential of hope for America, but it has to be found in a wholesale re-embrace of the goodness of the Lord. It won’t be found in any politician, even one as stellar as Donald Trump.

Watch "Hillary's America" and get a dose of reality.
