America’s Best Christian, Mrs. Betty Bowers, takes you on an historic travelogue comparing Confederate states to Union states. As ya’ll know, the South wanted to secede, but Lincoln said ‘NO we can’t let our republic crack” or break – or something unifying like that. It was admirable, but we did keep some crackpots…In the North and South alike, although Betty seems to be a bit biased. In Betty’s estimation, it seems the only thing the slave-lovin’ South won was the hearts to the party of Lincoln.
Betty knows where the fault lines lie in every state, and fills us in on some of our stately characteristics. For instance, illustrated here: New York: Where they favor annoying laws for assault rifles. Contrast with, Georgia: Where they may assault annoying in-laws with favored rifles. Take California: Still helping folks to succeed. Compare with Texas: Where they’re still trying to secede.
If you’re interested in how Lincon’s Republicans became Franklin Roosevelt’s Democrats, thank a greedy, liar Herbert Hoover, and the African Americans who voted him out.
We all know how the Republican Party started out as the Party of Lincoln, the Great Emancipator who took a political ‘states-rights’ issue and raised the ante to set America on the moral high ground with a bloody civil war that ended legalized slavery of African-Americans. Blacks were forever indebted to Mr. Lincoln and his Republican Party for its commitment to their freedom.But, that all changed with another Republican, Herbert Hoover. In the 1920s, Hoover was the Secretary of Commerce under Republican Calvin Coolidge. Hoover was to Coolidge as “Brownie” was to George W. Bush. And just like the Bush Administration, Coolidge’s Admin had to handle a natural catastrophe similar in scope to Katrina. Fortunately, Hoover was a smarter administrator than Brownie and managed the relief work admirably. Unfortunately he was a lying, manipulative, power-hungry Republican that would have made Dick Cheney proud.
