Actually it was a lot of fun in the army. The North against the South
and vice versa,.
But you are correct I should have matured since then.

"White boy" is to white people as "******" is to black people. Racist comments
on either side serve no purpose. The guy who said southerners are Republicans
who hate King is obviously ignorant of the facts, but your comment was an
uncalled for reponse.

Correct mostly because LBJ had a lot more clout than most people give him
credit for. The man knew how and when to fight dirty.

And, from understudying Sam Rayburn, aka "Mr. Sam", he knew where all
the bodies were buried and wasn't afraid to use that knowledge. LBJ
really knew how to use "dirty politics" well.

Well in the South, there is a long tradition of calling oneself a
Democrat, even though politically, one might be slightly to the right of
Attila the Hun. The reason for these so-called 'Dixiecrats' stems from
the fact that Abraham Lincoln, and more importantly, Andrew Johnson,
were Republicans. Republicans who were in power when the War of Northern
Aggression started and continued with Reconstruction.

So I wouldn't put a lot of stock in a Southern racist calling themselves
'Democrats.'

Andrew Johnson was a Democrat.

A curious name for a war that began when CSA guns fired on Fort Sumter.

My Dad introduced me to Mr. Sam at a rally in my home town. After I
shook hands with him Dad told me I had better count my fingers real
quick. We all three laughed and Mr. Sam took no umbrage at the remark.
Particularly as Dad introduced me as his "Republican son." Dad was a
Yaller Dawg Democrat all his life. <VBG>
