Just to be clear,this is not in reference to Walter F. George (1878-1957),
who served as a United States Senator from Georgia from 1922 until shortly
before his death.

Mr. George was a Democrat,not a Conservative,but as a signer of the Southern
Manifesto and opponent of civil rights laws he would generally be regarded as
a "conservative" even though he was more moderate than more "fire-breathing"
kinds of segregationist he served alongside,like "Cotton Tom" Heflin of
Alabama,"Cotton Ed" Smith or Coleman Blease of South Carolina,Theodore Bilbo
of Mississippi,or Clyde Hoey or Furnifold Simmons or Josiah Bailey of
North Carolina.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
