Is John Brown spinning in his grave?
Thinking about Santorum visiting Kansas today, I was struck by how at home his views are there. With the views of Governor Brownback being almost completely in line with the Santorum views, with taxes being cut for the rich and services cut for the poor, with doctors being killed for legal surgeries in the state, most would swear this is a state right between Mississippi and Alabama. But wasn't this the state where the fighting started that would soon turn into the Civil War? Wasn't Kansas on the side of the union? Now, it is a large part of the confederate south. Seeing Brownback and Santorum so at home in Kansas, I wonder if John Brown is spinning in his grave. If not, he must know nothing about what has happened to the state he loved.
