AH! HERE WE HAVE IT. What is "righteous"? That's for the people of each state to decide.
It is interesting you say that, because Cooldidge was from MA. The Catholics in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s in MA. We’re VERY Anti- Communist. Then MA went Cockeyed, starting with McGovern, to the point that it is now, along with Vermont, one of the most leftist States in the Union.
Massachusetts didn't suddenly become a bunch of big government loving, judgmental, joyless, humorless, self righteous, A-holes. They've always been that way.
They Elected Harding and Cooldidge. They also voted for Authur and MCkinley. Agood portion STILL voted against fdr in 32, 36 and 40. I’m from PA. What’s tate are you from?
