  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

The first section is an index by type of product, and the second section is an alphabetical listing that provides more details and contact information. A general description of each cooperative's products is reported under the heading "Commodities Exported." In some cases a commodity name is followed by a dash and a detailed breakdown of various types is listed for that commodity. For example: "Seeds - alfalfa, ladino clovers, Sudan grass, and safflower." Information about packaging is included for a few cooperative products and is reported in parentheses under the heading "Commodities Exported." In addition, some cooperatives have jointly established trading organizations and these are also referred to in parentheses under the heading "Commodities Exported." A listing in this directory is voluntary and there are no membership or organization affiliation requirements. About 3,719 agricultural marketing cooperatives operate in the U.S., and 91 of this group are listed.

  • The Rise of Nixon by Megan Kimbrell
    The Rise of Nixon by Megan Kimbrell Richard Milhous Nixon is one of the most central political figures in American history. Therefore, an analysis of how he rose to national prominence, and so quickly at that, is a worthwhile discussion. For example, Nixon entered the United States House of Representatives in 1946 by defeating the popular Democratic incumbent, Jerry Voorhis. Without previous political experience, Nixon was thrown into Congress where he was promptly placed on the infamous House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC). There he gained national fame in the case of Alger Hiss, an accused communist spy. He followed this with a stunning victory in the 1950 senatorial race against Helen Gahagan Douglas. Soon after, Nixon was nominated as the vice presidential candidate in 1952. At the young age of forty, and just six years after his first political campaign, Nixon entered the White House as Dwight D. Eisenhower's vice president. Nixon's meteoric rise to power begs the question of just how exactly he accomplished this feat. The answer to this question is quite simple: Nixon used the issue of communist subversion to further his political career. In fact, the perceived communist threat of the post-World War II era was the chief catalyst in Nixon's rise to the forefront of American politics. His career gained momentum alongside the Red Scare of this era with his public battles against accused communist sympathizers. Following World War II, Americans became obsessed with the fears of communist subversion. The Cold War produced unstable relations with the Soviet Union and other pro-communist countries, which made for a frightening future.

    15 November 1973 The Letters Editor The New York Times New York, N. Y. Dear Sir: By their eagerness to accept the assurances of Mr. Nixon that ha will be able to explain away, to his personal credit and to the satisfaction of the public majority, the scandals of his administration, Republican congressman are displaying a propensity for gullibility» The relief many o the leaders in his party express at his statements that he has not been involved in any deceptions or any dishonorable political schemes is equivalent to exonerating a suspected felon on his own denials of wrong doing* Mr. Nixon's political history contradicts any such conclusions that forthrightness and the national welfare are his guiding concern rather than arrogant political ambition. Mr. Nixon's character has been clearly manifest by his campaign maneuvers since the beginning of his political career. The lies he~telel to aefeat Jerry Voorhis and to politically destroy Helen Gahagan Douglas; his exploitation of the hysteria stirred up by Joseph McCarthy for his own advantage; his Checkers speech by which he weasled out of involvement with a campaign slush fund; the forged letters proved in court - forecasts of the criminal projects later unopted by the Committee to Re-elect the President - used to confuse his opponents in his campaign against Pat Brown in California, ail point to Mr. Nixon s primary interest in his personal political advancement and not to a scrupulous regard for the truth.

  • Directory of Rural—Farmer, Rancher, and Fishery Cooperatives
    1 Directory of Rural—Farmer, Rancher, and Fishery Cooperatives Introduction This directory contains a listing, by State, of almost 1,500 farmer-owned marketing, supply, service, fishery, and bargaining cooperatives. The information was collected from every farmer, rancher, and fishery cooperative that USDA Rural Development’s Cooperative Programs surveyed and that gave permission to be listed in this directory. The information includes the cooperative’s contact information, type of cooperative, and products that they sell. This directory is updated on a regular basis on our Web page http://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/all- programs/cooperative-programs. Cooperatives are classified according to type. Most are marketing, supply, service, bargaining, or a combination. Marketing cooperatives assemble and market commodities produced mostly by their farmer-members and may or may not engage in processing. Supply cooperatives purchase and/or manufacture farm production supplies for distribution, mostly to farmer or rancher-members. Service cooperatives perform a range of farm production and management- related services, such as grove care, agronomic services, financial and management consulting, artificial insemination and herd management, transportation, and storage. Bargaining cooperatives negotiate price, quality, and delivery terms with buyers on behalf of their members, but typically do not take title to commodities. We extend our appreciation to the cooperatives that provided the information for this updated report. Cooperatives and
