I am not, and have never been, a Democrat. I consider myself a Conservative Southerner. My hero was, and is, Senator Barry Goldwater, who I met and admired.

I was speaking of a time long before the era you mentioned.

My hero was, and is, Senator Barry Goldwater, who I met and admired.

Until he went soft in his later years, Barry Goldwater was indeed the Conscience of a Conservative. My first vote cast for president was for Goldwater in 1964. And since this thread is about the South, by far the most Conservative part of America, Dixie led the way in that election with five great states of the Deep South repudiating liberalism and voting for a pro-American Patriot:

And to this day, the South remains the land of freedom as shown by its support of Right to Work laws, throwing off the tyranny of Big Labor slavemasters. Nowadays, it's the north (or at least much of it) where liberty is rejected by kowtowing to union fascism.

I was speaking of a time long before the era you mentioned.

I never thought to accuse you of being a Democrat. I was attempting to point out that the Democrat has not changed from Andrew Jackson's time to this day. Democrats surreptitiously repress Blacks and other groups while giving them the old pat on the back and meaningless lip service in public.

The very opinion of the Democrat liberal that a Black individual needs government help because he can't possibly achieve a valid life through his own ability is the ultimate condescension.

The Racial Riots in Democrat controlled cities of the Sixties onward, the Boston busing desegregation violence of the Seventies and Eighties up to the problems in Democrat controlled Baltimore of today tell us all we need to know about the ugly bigoted hearts of Democrats.
