Vaticanus says

But in reality, the party of Lincoln is much more successful in judging people by the content of their character rather than their skin color. Republicans care more about what you do than how you look.

All of American history contradicts your statement.

Vaticanus says

It was the Southern plantation owners that enslaved black people; most of these owners were Wiggs

Correct, as of 1860.

And then, starting in 1965, the Democratic Party lost almost all of its old-timey racists when Johnson pushed through The Civil Rights Act. And the Republican Party welcomed them all enthusiastically.

Amazing, isn't it? Party names actually apply to different people and principles over 100-year timespans. And yet many people find it inconvenient or unsettling to comprehend this?

Yep, looks like those old timey racists of the democrats still know how to run a campaign.

Vaticanus says

Yes of course, that is why such a huge majority of black, hispanic, asian, and gay populations are republican voters, Republicans judge them by the content of their character. Denial isn't just a river in egypt.

@bayareaobserver

Thanks for the question. Most honest republican is easily Ron Paul. IMHO

Whose the most honest from the other side of the aisle?

@bob

The media and the democrat spin team has brainwashed the public to hide the fact they are using racial prejudice to consolidate their power. The real travesty is even LBJ was a racist who called people by the n word in the whitehouse. No body plays the race card better than the democrat racists.

HEY YOU says

The Republican Party enslaves young men in the Military Industrial Complex to die in Unfunded WMD LIE wars.

More so than Obama and Clinton but they are complicit too. Worst of the republicans are all the dishonorable chicken Hawks

As worse is all the southerner republicans who routinely vote against their own interests because of their racist prejudices

Yep Jesse Jackson and al sharpton are the number one (1a and 1b) race-baiters in the political sphere

No one has brainwashed anyone, the democratic spin team has never hidden the fact that republicans are using racial prejudice to consolidate their power. Why would you think that? You do remember things like willie horton or john mccains "black baby" don't you? or the magic code words like welfare and food stamps (mostly collected by white's in the red states), illegal alien, law and order, cut taxes (for welfare), inner city (meaning irish south boston, or italian south philly, sure right) , etc. etc.

want to back this fairy tale up with any kind of fact. I didnt' think so. Right wingnuts don't do facts.

Jackson and sharpton haven't been relevant in the political sphere since reagan was president. We aren't talking ancient history.

More dishonest revisionist history. There isn't a single honest bone in Vaticanus's body.

Here's reality. Source: https://www.britannica.com/event/United-States-presidential-election-of-1992

Vaticanus never lets the truth get in the way of a good lie.

However, I'm glad Vaticanus concedes that the American South is evil.

MMR says

That makes the massacre at the gay nightclub in Orlando very interesting. The current Democratic platform is simply hate for straight white Christian men, to the degree that men are any or all of those things. That's about it. Therefore Democrats get a large majority of the gay, black, secular, Jewish, and woman vote.

That hate for straight white Christian men leads Democrats to think that Muslims, as non-Christians and generally as non-whites, must be natural Democrats, and so Democrats support Muslim immigration as part of the grand plan to dilute the historical majority out of existence.

But uh oh! It turns out that Muslims are so far right, and so violent, that they make Republicans, even in the South, look pretty damn centrist and peaceful by comparison.

So when will Democrats catch on to the reality of Islamic teaching? What will it take if a Muslim massacre of gays won't do it?

No way. Afghanistan is a Republican utopia. I've said that millions of times. Conservatives want a theocracy just like Muslims.

What a propagandist self serving piece of tripe. There are no actual stats in the article that show the number of democrats versus republicans in slave holding states. Further Lincoln didn't give a rats ass about slavery, see myth 2:
http://www.simplefactsplainarguments.com/2013/02/5-myths-about-abraham-lincoln.html

The war for him was about denying the South their right to secede, he called it preserving the union. Fuck, revisionism has it's roots in the winners re-writing history. So the dumbass OP is actually advancing revisionism, or lying, with this thread.

They've been around for 3 decades, but yeah,, it's been taken over by black lives matter and others I suppose.

I agree that you have said it and repeatedly so...still, you're in the minority...majority here are apologists

1. I'm not "right wing". Don't listen to rush or hannity, watch Fox News or even vote for that matter, since it's a waste of time. Not generally being in favor of Muslim immigration qualifies as "right wing" in your world, then so be it.

I could argue that people who vote for Hillary are "right wing" since she is more right wing than republicans of the 70s-80s

Btw I don't dislike comments...someone , disliked your comment about democrats not supporting unbridled Muslim immigration because it's bullshit.......If anything, burden of proof is on you to show everyone all the instances of democratic politicians that are speaking in favor of curbing Muslim immigration in any way

NuttBoxer says

Further Lincoln didn't give a rats ass about slavery, see myth 2:

I always thought it was well-known that he wouldn't ever actually want to associate with slaves although he did fundamentally support their right to not be slaves. In other words, he wasn't a proponent of slavery, but was a racist and elitist

Anti-Islamic gays who support the second amendment...would they be wingnuts or libtards?

Tenpoundbass says

Parties, nations, and organization don't every do anything. Actions are only taken by people, not imaginary constructs. The Democratic Party did not found the KKK. The recent ancestors of modern day Republicans and American Southerners founded the KKK and filibustered the Civil Rights Act. These are also the descendants of slavers. Here's one example of them.

Strom Thurmond
Democrat from 1947 to 1964.
Republican from 1964 to 2003 when Hell finally claimed him.
This is the motherfucker who filibustered the Civil Rights Act. Yes, this is the actual guy.

So why did Strom Thurmond switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in 1964? It was because of Nixon's Southern Strategy. The two political parties switched and so did all the politicians and voters.

This is how absolutely fucking disingenuous conservatives like Tenpoundbass are. They will outright lie about U.S. history to make the evil committed by their tribe appear to have been committed by the opposing tribe. Make no mistake about it, the American South is utterly fucking evil and it is precisely the American South that committed the evil that Tenpoundbass just referenced in his post.

The mere fact that conservatives have to go back to before the two parties switched under the Southern Strategy to make the Democrats falsely look bad demonstrates that they know conservatives, which is exactly what the Dixiecrats were, are completely fucking evil and it shows that conservatives are ashamed of their despicable history.

The Dixiecrats of yesteryear were conservatives and today the ones that are still alive, as well as their children and grandchildren, are today's conservatives and today's Republicans. But hey, can you blame conservatives for being so ashamed of their past?

By the way, when I say that the American South and conservatives should still not be forgiven for slavery, the KKK, segregation, and all the other abuses they inflicted throughout history, the justification for that is the continual lies about history spewed by modern conservatives like Tenpoundbass, FortWayne, and Vaticanus in which they try to pass the evil deeds of conservatives onto their opposition. This would be like a former Nazi today blaming the French Resistance in WWII for the Holocaust. It's despicable and offensive.

Any real American would be offended by this perversion of our history with contemptible lies. Such loathsome and detestable fabrications are the most unpatriotic things a person could say. Spreading such lies is the equivalent of wiping shit off your ass with the American flag. Anyone who partakes in such vile endeavors should be vilified as the execrable wretches they are.

Every day we get even more proof that the premise of this thread, today's Republicans are the party of Lincoln and are the protectors of civil rights of African Americans, is utter bullshit. Recently the Republican Party has been caught red handed committing election fraud against black voters having "target African Americans with almost surgical precision" based on heavy research regarding exactly how to disenfranchise legal voters who are black.

www.youtube.com/embed/FUomc6pEHnc

The American South is evil and conservatives have NEVER been the party of Lincoln regardless of which party they controlled. Furthermore, Republicans today are committing massive election fraud and getting caught.

Lincoln and Reagan would both be democrats today. the GOP would NEVER accept either one of them now!

moronic rationalization of the Piece of shit that is today's GOP will re-commence in 3,2,1...

Spin, spin spin. You didn't say you were not in favor of muslim immigration. You said the democrats were in favor of "unbridled" (we are allowing immigration of muslim horses without bridles now?) immigration. So the burden of proof is on you to show where anyone of either party has EVER supported "unbridled" muslim immigration.

Asshole Dems.

Being the party of Lincoln is both a point of pride and a point of shame for Republicans. They are publicly proud to Call Lincoln one of their own, but privately ashamed at what they have become. For political reasons, the point out their proud history, and deny what they have become.

They are the equivalent of a washed up fat ass crippled ex jock talking about the glory days while getting drunk and drooling on the bar.

Lincoln wouldn't be a Republican today.
Reagan wouldn't be a republican today.

so.... this thread is complete bullshit.

Republican Abraham Lincoln kicked the Confederate States asses & shit on the rebel flag.
Surrender Cowards! Yes they did!
Rebel flag waving Republicans in the South will vote Republican,absolute genius.
Surely Trump will re-establish the Confederacy.

Further, when the earlier KKK slowed down after the Repub Emancipation Proclamation, the Democrats revived the KKK in the 1940s, the south refusing to accept the EP: From Wikipedia

Historian Eric Foner observed:
In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were political, but political in the broadest sense, for it sought to affect power relations, both public and private, throughout Southern society. It aimed to reverse the interlocking changes sweeping over the South during Reconstruction: to destroy the Republican party's infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.[58]

Further, the Dems not accepting Emancipation, wanted to still maintain an "effective confederate southern states"
