He sent the 101st Airborne into Arkansas against claims of States Rights to protect black children trying to integrate the school. Republicans would have a meltdown if a President tried that same thing today and would call it communistic and an example of the big federal government throwing its weight around.

Hey, good job. That song brought back some memories, too, in the days when it played continuously all over AM radio in the early 1960s.
