I was raised in Florida......I stood for Dixie and I lived in the life of segregation. I was chair of a community college young republicans club in 66-67 when Republicans were "the party of Lincoln".....when Nixon was elected I learned the term "State's Rights" and pretty soon I saw Republicans suddenly supporting the guys we campaigned AGAINST just two years ago.

I am now in my 70s and it's weird....that's the best word I can come up with...to see it all being played over again.
