Call it crazy 'Racism' is the
Liberal logic escape clause.
Sadly of course you missed my point. I even tried very hard to be clear.
White racist in south ----> republican
is not the same as
white republican in south ------>racist
I am not implying that at all.
MY intent was not to push your buttons by reminding you of this fact, that I understand bothers you (that says something good about you).
MY reason for bringing it up is that it is the best example in recent decades of a huge shift in the composition of political parties. THe entire part of the white south that was pro segregation (maybe my referring to them as racist is a little presumptuous - but it's the way I see it), that is the people that used to be in that camp as democrats, are now republicans.
My intent was to point the best example I could of the composition of political parties changing in just a few decades, because Captaindenial was hanging on to his false belief about Lincoln the republican, as if that has ANYTHING to do with who republicans are today. Quite the opposite is in fact true.
And yes, Chris MAthews makes the point very well here.
Hey capn why didn't you include the link to the article the quote was out of? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/geoffrey-dickens/2010/04/08/chris-matthews-would-lincoln-be-republican-today
YOu should read it Captain. And you should read my comment more carefully, before you accuse me of calling you a racist or even suggesting that republicans are generally racist (I never said that). Funny who the people are that call out others on their reading comprehension skills, or lack there of.
By the way, the last 50 years have made such a big difference, that if you wanted to say that the party of Ike, especially in the south, was the same party as Lincolns republicans, it would be far closer to true than saying it now. But even by that time, democrats had taken over as being the more progressive party (because of FDR).
I don't consider myself that much of an expert on politics or history, but I'm guessing that Teddy Roosevelt was probably the last time that republicans were seen as the more progressive, and the more anti- big business political party.

I lean liberal.
A true liberal doesn't "lean". I'm open to both sides of the issue, but I lean anti-slavery isn't exactly a liberal mantra.
I'm a true independent that leans liberal. Being a die hard liberal or a conservative is like a religion. I like to go by the issues.
No, not leaning anti slavery....just plain anti slavery.
One thing of remarkable insight on this thread is how petty conservative complaints are. Conservatives are bitching and moaning about limits of the serving sizes of sodas, frozen foods, and fast food culture.
That's true, they are bitching about it. Liberals bitched about their large sizes.
Liberals complaints about conservatives are genocide, slavery, world-wide pollution, police brutality, and the sexual brutalization of people.
I don't know any conservatives who supports genocide or slavery. Now you are bitching about them bitching, when they really aren't bitching.
Pollution - I agree. I bitch about too much pollution every day.
police brutality - I don't have a problem with it as long as it is directed to die hard criminals. In fact, I support it.
Sexual brutalization of people - what sexual brutalization? the priests?

Abraham Lincoln -- who by the way was no hero and has been greatly cartoonified -- would not be a republican today. Not a fat chance. Hell, he'd be kick out of the party for being a leftist loon.
His pansy soft views on pardons and the death penalty alone would get him heckled and thrown out of a bagger convention.
Reagan was soft on Communism too. Why didn't he just blow them up instead of START and disarmament? Pussy! And don't get me start on his gun-grabbing!
The only explanation I can think of is Tip O'Neill. But how did he get to both Lincoln AND Reagan?

1)Electric Light
2)Soap
3)Documentaries with a REAL educational purpose, that educate people on a topic, instead of using it as a ploy to inject a runaway President's rogue agendas.
4)Cars
5)The joys, pains and discoveries of Childhood(God forbid a kip points at another Kid, he will be in the liberal national news as the poster child for the NRA.)
6)The Freedom of political choice, being considered a healthy democracy. (Best not vote for anyone, less you run it by your Liberal friends, neighbors and family and all of the general pain the ass Liberal knowitall's on the internet web forums first.)
7)Checking out the Hot women, it will get you fired, and a sexual harassment lawsuit.
8)Food better run the next bite of food you put in your mouth by Bloomberg and his fink-bastard cronies first. It might make you fat, but here drink this health shake, it might give you cancer in 20 years, who knows. But at least you're not eating Fat and Sugar.
9)Refreshments, can't even drink a soda with out them being all up in it.
10)Education they make a big show to let everyone know just how smart they are, and just how dumb everyone else is. They practically own the Education system in a America. And are turning out the dumbest sons of bitches the world has ever seen since the Neanderthal.
11)Family Unit in the community. There's more love for a house load of escaped convicts holed up in Ward and June Cleaver house with them in the basement with a bullet in each of their head. Than there is for Ward and June Cleaver.
