I guess you are the one over indulging in pharmaceuticals. The French recognized
the N. Vietnam rebels in 1946, one year after HST became President. American
advisors were helping the continued resistance of the South Vietnamese before
and after the French left, even while fighting a `police action' in Korea. The
election came in 1948 while you were still separated in a sperm and egg, even
before your revised history was written. Your math is as foggy has your history.
The voting age, after a big row after WW2, that soldiers old enough to fight
were old enough to vote had made the eligible voting age 18 years, Anyone born
before 1930 was eligible to vote in the Texas general election of 1948. Voting
in Harris County was by a large paper ballot marking boxes with a pencil. A
States Rights Party Convention in the Sam Houston Coliseum, in Houston, Texas,
had nominated Governor Strom Thiurmond to run for President, and the main issue
in Houston, the Oil Capitol, was securing the rights of the States to control
the exploration for oil that lay beneath their tidelands. Offshore drilling was
booming. I was born before 1930 and was eligible to vote. I'm amazed at the
ignorance of children these days, who want to view history compiled and spun to
give them what they want to hear. 1948 was also the year that Rep. LBJohnson
defeated Governor Coke Stevenson, with the help of the dead voters in the valley
lead by George Parr, the `Duke of Duval County' and the support of Pres. HST.
That thrust `Landslide Lyndon' (93 dead voters in Duval and Starr Ctys.) onto
the national stage. Civil rights was not an issue since the democrats had
rejected the attempt of Hubert Humphrey to put a plank on Civil Rights in their
platform. They wooed the southern democrat vote. Incidentally it was Governor
Chris Hollings of South Carolina (now a US Senator) who led the fight and signed
the legislation to put the Confederate flag on the South Carolina State flag.
And some think we ought to increase the pay of the incompetent ignorant boobs
who teach their own version of revised history to the little mush brained school
kids.
