'bout right.
Ray Stevens does it again! I am proud to say that I got in trouble for singing "Ahab the Arab" and was able to exonerate myself.
I was singing along to it in my car when I worked at the college and a couple of Muslim females took a picture of my car and turned me into the college cops. The next day I was called to my bosses office and he was there with the chief of police and both were hot! I asked if I could call the radio station that I had on the day before to get the playlist. The station faxed it to my boss and I was able to prove that the worst thing they could get me for was singing badly!

Love it! Brought back memories. When I became old enough to register to vote I registered Republican. I came home and told all and was nearly disinherited (not really). Everyone in my family was a Southern Democrat.

Those Southern Dems were 180 degrees from what they are now. That's what I grew up with.

Ray is brave. He could just be disappeared for telling the truth like that.
When dad retired from the Navy we went to Broward County. He was an independent. He ewas told if he wanted to get a job with the state, he'd better be a democrat. Of course the Dems in 1957 are not todays Dems.
That't what confused me.... up until recent times no true Southerner would vote Republican..... at least that's how I remember it.
And Grandpa for sure would have been a Democrat.
But then I think it was back in the 90's my little brother was getting married and we went to the wedding reception in Marion S.C. (very small town) and it was at a bed and breakfast that was run by two 'guys' who had moved down from up North and right there in the living room over the fireplace was a big portrait of Abraham Lincoln ..... I can honestly say other than in the text books at school and on the $5 dollar bill and such I had never seen a picture of him on anyone's wall... I knew then, the times they were a changing......
