Poor Carroll. Apparently a mediocre man Who had no problem being elected lieutenant governor but who could not make it to the.Governor's mansion. From 1959 to 1971, Mississippi only wanted governors who would deceive them about maintaining segregation and preventing black people from enjoying basic civil rights. Ah, Mississippi!! We preach love for our fellow men but devote ourselves to showing hate.
I wouldn't have that much sympathy for Carroll. He virtually ran on the same exact campaign promises as Barnett. He was definitely the "better" choice, but that's not saying much when you're up against an extremist like Barnett.
J.P. would have been an ideal choice for the state in 1963. Instead, we elected a man who seemed the.most strident segregationist. So LBJ appointed him to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. J.P. told me once he was pretty close to RFK and had JFK lived, he may have been named to the Supreme Court. Highly unlikely, but interesting conversation
We had that record at home when I was a kid. We sang along to the lyrics we misheard - "Roll with Ross; he's the dumb boss." Seems appropriate somehow.
George Washington. The first president of the USA and aswell the man who shaped America to be the most influential country. Also stated how terrible political parties were. People did not listen and we have clowns like Biden being popular and strong leaders like Trump being held back by their respective parties. George Wallace was the closest thing to a strong hero, coming from George Wallace not being in any political parties (he was an independent). Much better than Nixon who all he did was bomb Vietnam and still lost, created deficit spending, and spied on the other political parties. George Wallace was the way to go.
0:47 What's that lyric? Invited to - up Tennessee way. I can't make out the particular word, I assume it's a name. It sounds a bit like "Clement" to me, but I don't think it is.
It sounds like she's saying, "Clinton." If I'm remembering my history correctly, there was a fight over school desegregation in a town named Clinton in Tennessee in the 1950s.
Frank Clement was a Governor Tennessee from the same period. A lawyer and segregationist. The sentence “one of the lawyers helped save the day” is another reference to him probably
"The Negro is different because God made him different to punish him. His forehead slants back. His nose is different. His lips are different, and his color is sure different."-- 1959
Its interesting that I could tell even without googling him that Coleman was a cautious, "Establishment", pro-business politician as opposed to a wild populist.
Have to say George Wallace had better campaign songs. These were back when election posters and billboards used to be printed "VOTE CONSERVATIVE - VOTE DEMOCRATIC". Even in 1960, way before I could vote, Kennedy - Johnson billboards had this phrase under their names. Since then, over time, the Democrat Party has gotten captured by Communists or Socialists, alphabet weirdos, illegal aliens, anti-Americans, often perverted pressure groups, fanatics for killing foetuses, woke cancel culture censors, criminal advocates, and destroyers of our economy. Now it seems, to barely win elections, the Democrats need triple fishy problems/breakdowns and ballot handlings, illegal voting, and computer pre-programmed vote counting, not to mention fraud friendly NO VOTER I.D..
Democrats and Republicans are getting more confused While Mr. Wallace picks up speed, we're really just amused With George C. Wallace in the lead we have no need for tears Remember who has held the reins through all these troubled years They're really trying everything to slow us down a bit But every untrue word they say, the stronger we shall get A grassroots people's movement, it's surely to succeed And not the other parties united in their greed If you would listen now my friends as they try to change their views They're getting in a huddle to fool their P's and Q's And also more frustrated as they distort the news We have no need for hippies, anarchists and the like We'll restore law and order as sure as night as night Riots and demonstrations have surely gotta stop We'll back our police and firemen, they're the best friends that we've got Now Mr. Wallace has the facts and figures on the line The American people backing him let's get him there on time Property rights are something else they're cramming down our throats These federal bureaucrats must think we're just a bunch of goats Now Mr. Wallace says and I'm sure you will agree These communists have gotta go to keep our country free Let's register them and not our guns, our home we must protect Let's get them on the run and fast, and then real peace we'll get Let's get them on the run and fast, and then real peace we'll get
OMG! Chuck Aherns is my grandfather! Ive got a couple of his records from when i was a kid but have never heard it. I was born in 1978 so this is 10 years before i was even born. I just googled it and found this video. What a trip!!
As someone who is the granddaughter of someone who was mistreated by the British for being Irish, even though he fought for them in World War Two, and the niece of someone who was beaten up at the age of 7 for having red hair, I can sadly agree. It's a pity, since the tune is quite catchy.
Goldwater carried only 6 states in the 1964 Presidential election against Lyndon Johnson Arizona, Louisiana Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina for a total of 52 electoral votes the 5th worst landslide defeat of a presidential candidate in United States 20th century history. The 4 worst defeats were as follows : Alfred Landon 1936 Republican 2 States with 8 electoral votes Vermont 4 and New Hampshire 4 against President Franklin Roosevelt , 1972 : George McGovern Democrat 17 from 1 State Massachusetts 14 and D.c 3 against President Richard Nixon. 1980 President Jimmy Carter , Democrat from 4 states : Georgia 12, West Virginia 7, Minnesota 10 Rhode Island 4 to and D.c 3 against Ronald Reagan 1984 former Vice President Walter Mondale Democrat 1 State Minnesota 10 and DC 3 13

He, in fact, talked a lot of game until Presidents JFK and LBJ called him personally and threatened him with prosecution for violating Federal law, and rightfully so. He crumbled like a cookie and listened to his Daddies. TL;DR, you might be a racist piece of shit, but regardless, Ross Barnett is the exact opposite of Chad. He was a damn coward no matter how you look at it
I got a good majority of the lyrics down for those interested: Democrats and Republicans are getting more confused While Mr. Wallace picks up speed, we're really just amused With George C. Wallace in the lead we have no need for tears Remember who has held the reins through all these troubled years They're really trying everything to slow us down a bit But every untrue word they say, the stronger we shall get A grassroots people's movement, it's surely to succeed And not the other parties united in their greed If you would listen now my friends as they try to change their views They're getting in a ? to fool their ? and ? And also more frustrated as they distort the news We have no need for hippies, anarchists and the like We'll restore law and order as sure as night as night Riots and demonstrations have surely gotta stop We'll back our police and firemen, they're the best friends that we've got Now Mr. Wallace has the facts and figures on the line The American people backing him let's get him there on time Property rights are something else they're cramming down our throats These federal bureaucrats must think we're just a bunch of goats Now Mr. Wallace says and I'm sure you will agree These communists have gotta go to keep our country free Let's register them ? our home we must protect Let's get them on the run and fast, and then real peace we'll get Let's get them on the run and fast, and then real peace we'll get
Let's register them ? our home we must protect - "Let's register them AND NOT OUR GUNS, our home we must protect" If you would listen now my friends as they try to change their views They're getting in a ? to fool their ? and ? And also more frustrated as they distort the news - "If you would listen now my friends as they try to change their views They're getting in a HUDDLE to fool their P's and Q's And also more frustrated as they distort the news"
