Believe it or not, Gingrich is actually a carpetbagger.

In the delta, there is still an onging form of slavery. In the south there is a "concurrent" liberal majority. Check out Hotlanta, Nashville, Memphis, etc.

IMHO we should have kept reconstruction.

I was personally involved in Reconstruction.... in Viet Nam. Same Idea, same results.

Bad analogy. I was there 1966-1967. They never had slavery. Didn't fight a war of insurrection. Didn't have Jim Crow.

After I came home I was in an Army of the occupation of the south, Ft. Jackson S.C. Our cities burned in 1968.

Naval advisory group 70-71. Teaching the South Vietnamese how to be independent of the Communist regime in the North. The regular people I dealt with weren't interested. Hence the comparison.
