"Democrat was a another word for conservative in the south."
No it wasn't.
It was the word for Democrat.
Your post is an outright lie.
The OP clearly demonstrates the intimate relationship between the the corrupt government and FDR.
It really must scare you to reduce you to such prevarication.
Southern Democrats were never conservatives.
a. All the segregationists in the Senate were Democrats, and remained same for the rest of their livesÂ…except for one. And they were not conservative.
b. Strom Thurmond became a Republican, albeit 16 years later.
Lets see how many of the 12 in the Senate were conservative.
c. Senator Harry Byrd, staunch opponent of anti-communist McCarthy
d. Senator Robert Byrd, proabortion, opposed Gulf Wars, supported ERA, high grades from NARAL and ACLU
e. Senator Allen Ellender, McCarthy opponent, pacifist
f. Senator Sam Ervin, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, Nixon antagonist
g. Senator Albert Gore, Sr., McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War
h. Senator James Eastland, strong anti-communist
i. Senator Wm. Fulbright, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, big UN supporter
j. Senator Walter F. George, supported TVA, and Great Society programs
k. Senator Ernest Hollings, initiated federal food stamp program, Â…but supported Clarence ThomasÂ’ nomination
l. Senator Russell Long, led the campaign for Great Society programs
m. Senator Richard Russell, McCarthy opponent, anti-Vietnam War, supported FDRÂ’s New Deal
n. Senator John Stennis, McCarthy opponent, opposed Robert BorkÂ’s nomination
Notice how segregationist positions went hand-in-hand with opposition to McCarthy? Not all DemocratsÂ….Robert Kennedy worked for McCarthy, and Senator John F. Kenned refused to censure him.
See chapter 12 of "Mugged," by Coulter.
reggie, you are a lesson for our time. Marginally intelligent, and educated far below what you believe yourself to be, you accept propaganda willingly.
