In other news, Oklahomans fall off their tractors in record numbers.

Finally read both of these articles, and they are incredibly fascinating.

And here I thought the 1950's and 60's was the first time conservatives deemed movements in favor of black emancipation to either be a slippery slope to communism or else communism itself.

The interesting thing about those 19th century conservatives is that they are more honest than their mid 20th century or early 21st century counterparts - not of their own volition, I'm sure, but because the nature of advocating cruelty requires the adoption of new dog whistles. You'll rarely hear a conservative today admit that he thinks a stable society absolutely requires the state to compel labor from persons "other than criminals." I don't think you'll find many conservatives today who even realize that they believe that. But I think they do.
