My grade school classmates were the Mudd sisters. They were lineal descendants of Dr. Samuel Mudd. Dr. Mudd was the one who set the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Mudd
The local high school is still called Surrattsville High after the Surratt family. Mary Surratt was hanged by a military executioner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Surratt

That’s why I consider it strange that a neocon would play to type with his cliched view of the 19th century. The slavery of the 19th century is surpassed by the slavery of the 21st century, i.e., illegal immigration. It’s the neocons and their camp followers such as George Bush who support the neo-slavery of this century. And it’s George Bush and others like him who are the most ardent supporters of race-based quotas, preferences, initiatives and set-asides. Shapiro should remember it was Governor Bush who held a press conference years ago denouncing Professor Lino Graglia for Graglia’s remarks about blacks and Hispanics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lino_Graglia

Now who’s standing in which doorway?

So, how is that I can see the parallels between the hated white Southerners and George Bush, yet Shapiro cannot?

States’ rights indeed.

[It sure is a good angle for a column.]
