One more time...real slow...Drugs were part of the moral decline taking place in America in the 1960's, along with war protesters, the burning of the American Flag, draft dodging, free love, etc. Most of those that participated in all of this were liberals and associated with the Democratic party. Put all of that together with the civil rights issue and you'll see why so many jumped ship to the Republican Party.
Those of us in the Deep South don't count Maryland as a southern state. It may be south of the Mason-Dixon line but it wasn't part of the CSA so they're Yankees to us.

If I understand you, you are claiming that white southerners left the democratic party for the republicans over "moral decline"? And this despite the fact that those awful peacenik hippies (whose moral decline you seem to have so much trouble with) spent most of the sixties protesting against a democratic administration? I'm sorry but I just don't see the sense in it. You hated the hippies - the hippies hated Johnson - so you left Johnson's party for wallace and then the republicans? Something about that just doesnt add up.

I also can't believe that any adult in this country actually believes that the politicians from one party are more moral than those from the other. What tortures you must go through when you see your boys institutionalizing graft with abramoff!!

No I'm afraid my initial claim makes more sense. The one thing the hippies and the black rioters and the democrats all had in commmon (beside the fact that you joined the republicans to squash them) was support for civil rights for blacks. And the only thing that Wallace and the republicans had in commmon was that neither was associated with Johnson, the civil rights traitor. It just took until the sixties for the rest of the bible belt to folllow those pioneers Helms and Thurmond over to the republican side.
