Though we can proudly point to enlightened and progressive leaders such as Winthrop Rockefeller, J. William Fulbright, Dale Bumpers and David Pryor…
the Long Dark Shadow of Faubus still looms over the State.
Lee’s Battle Flag has been flow over at least one municipal building in our fair state as recently as last week, and it’s widespread private display would say lots of folk here are pretty intolerant.
The level of negativity in political discourse was never so pronounced as our most recent election, and the Economic stratification and polarization across the state would also seem to be a pretty good indicator they have us pegged.
