"That's a laugh. Socialist presidents like Wilson and FDR had their base in the South, not the North. They carried the South almost totally in their elections."

The only reason the South voted for Wilson and FDR is because they were both Democrats. The South, up until the 1960s, was STAUNCHLY in the Democrats camp: A Republican just didn't have a chance in the South. (One of the reasons the South was so bitterly opposed to the Republicans was because of the Republican influence and control in the federal government, which resulted in Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War; and, perhaps more offensive to the South, Reconstruction. )

Yep, Democrats who loved socialism.

They sure didn't mind the federal power given to them by Wilson's and FDR's socialism though did they?

All of what you say here is true.

However, even Democrats from the South have higher moral standards than their political comrades from the North or West.
