What’s the Matter With Republicans?
Rural Republicans often see life and politics through an ethos formed in frontier life.They and David Brooks are living a lie.
Think hillbillies.
The Fur trappers were almost more Native Americans.
The Armies went first.
The camp followers came after the army.
Then came the miners, the loggers and the rail roads.
The farmers brought the protestant churches.
The party of Lincoln died with the man.
The label was inherited by the victors of the civil war.
The object is loot.
