While he’s at it, he should order the removal of the Democrat party (and all its members), since it was the Party of Slavery at its founding two centuries ago and remains the Party of Slavery today.
Leggett is an old Democrat, meaning he hates southerners, defended Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA), hates conservatives, wants to rewrite history a la Stalin, and should have been in jail decades ago for the corruption in Montgomery County.
Also, I’ve been told he’s a nice guy. SO WHAT?
Nobody associates the Confederacy with today’s modern Democratic Party.
There’s a lot of irony in Maryland politics because in the good old days the rural counties outside Baltimore that included Montgomery and Prince Georges etc. etc. without any suburban growth were Democrat back then, too.
They were good old boy Boss Hogg Democrat instead of liberal socialist Democrat.
The Republicans ran well in these areas when the suburbs began to spring up with the GOP striking a liberal tone in the 1950’s and 60’s to contrast with the good old boy Dems.
Governor Spiro Agnew, elected in 1966, was a true blue Nelson Rockefeller Republican who ended up being Nixon’s running mate in 1968. As VP, Agnew was sent out to make conservative speeches attacking the media so Nixon could suck in conservatives while he made government bigger and cut deals with Communists.
Agnew was a one man “Fox News” in his day......
And I want the idiot congresswoman from Houston to stop strutting her offensive Confederate surname in front of the congressional black communists, sheila jackson whatsis.
