Jim Crow was Democratic policy, you'll remember. This has clearly changed, but there was a lot more room for agreement between the parties on social policy when, each for its own reasons, both had no room for people of color, at least in anything other than custodial positions.Billhttp://www.freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-87163077394713291572012-03-16T12:02:56.456-05:002012-03-16T12:02:56.456-05:00I remember when Michelle Obama was militant when s...I remember when Michelle Obama was militant when she was proud of her country. It really irks me that the First Family has to walk on eggshells and we have our "friends" on the left talking about how weak the president is. Why are they even on the left if they don't get basic sociology? <br /><br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-69011881348680694252012-03-16T10:56:39.988-05:002012-03-16T10:56:39.988-05:00I realize that wasn't Eisenhower's speech....I realize that wasn't Eisenhower's speech. I just feel that by G.H.W. Bush's day the far right narrative was very much in power in the Republican party in spite of the words he spoke.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130159732026998535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-83886808128142379112012-03-16T10:55:07.733-05:002012-03-16T10:55:07.733-05:00This is excellent.

The beliefs we are seeing now were there in a much smaller way. <br /><br />The President is such a beautiful person. My wish is that every person could see that. Disagree with his policies if that's what you believe, but see what a wonderful person he is.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130159732026998535noreply@blogger.com
