Your opinion of Orval Faubus

[Alcon]

Horrible.

Cosmo Kramer and Jake -

So, folks, how are we defending racism in the name of economic progressivism today?

[Alcon]

He was a great man -a man of the people.  He initiated some very progressive reforms and greatly improved the state of Arkansas' healthcare system.

Unfortunately the yankee propaganda is prevailing in this thread.  Where is StatesRights?

Well I don't know lots about the man, never really studied him. But if the first part you say is true my opinion of him shot up quite a bit. I voted option 1 for the record.

He was a socialist and you like him for that?

OK.

Not really a socialist. He improved the overall state of Arkansas with these measures and I generally do not oppose such things at the state level.

That's about Orval's dad, not Orval himself.

Oops.

That is true, but from what I have raid, Orval was quite economically liberal himself - pro-integration, too, but he gave in on that.  And for that I can't respect him.
