Jim Crow was purdy much all southern Democrat... So what??? I'm not a Democrat... I have pointed out that the Democratic party split itself up with the passage of the Civil Rights Act... Lyndon Johnson even said so... He said that in passing that bill that the Democratic Party would suffer for many years to come... He couldn't have been more correct as since the passage of the bill the South has been purdy much Republican territory...

As one who has always been interested in politics, I find it very interesting that the Democrats in Page County, Va. (where I live) tend to be the "hillbillies", many of whom come from families who were put off the mountain by FDR when the feds put in Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park... One would think that it would be the opposite... Yeah, okay, they are a tad distrustfull of the fed but tend to be the Dems... And they are also very tolerant people... Don't wanta fight... Ain't all eat up with egos... The townies and valley folks tend to be Repub... Not too sure why this is but I keep askin' folks questions and am in hot pursuit of the story...

BTW, these people also like their moonshine, their pot and their mergals...

(Geeze, Bobert... That fits you to a tee...)

So it does... No wonder why I like it up here...
