Pardon, you're forgetting history. Democrats are the party of secession, slavery and the dissolution of the Union.WTF? Aren't Democrats Americans?
When I went to Willard Straight to register
to vote, a pretty girl smiled at me, looked at the registration card, the smile
ran away from her face.

Like any party, the Republican party contained a broad spectrum of opinions on many issues, including slavery.
The donkey party today want enslavement of EVERYONE not just one race, and if they keep up what they're doing they will cause states to break off. I don't know why everyone was so ga-ga about "keeping the union together", which is more aptly described as squashing dissent. That's what Stalin did to his country and for some reason we're clear about what that meant when he did it but somehow romanticize it being done here. We have, as the Declaration of Independence clearly says, the right to fire the government when it doesn't work for us and instead works for itself. The bearded person from Illinois made it his high holy mission to make toilet paper out of that right and we haven't used it since, when in many cases perhaps we should have.Democrats are the party of secession, slavery and the dissolution of the Union.

I'm having 1861 flash backs. Can you guys come back to 2008?

Would you be so kind as to cite a source and name the prominent ones please? I've also heard that not all Democrats of the time embraced slavery but I've never seen any good sources to that effect either. So if you have a citation on that as well I'd like to see it.Many republicans of the day were pro-slavery too.
I had to look it up. This was a paraphrase from George Santayana.Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The Democrats threw the American Flags Away!
Next you'll hear from the Dems that that the flags were bundled in and next to the dumpsters for pick-up to various national cemeteries and veterans hospitals. They were just about to go do that when they were stolen by right-wing activists...
Let's see...since only one of those organizations has actually gone to court and defended it's right to fabricate false stories and admitted to firing employees who refused to read fictional news stories I think I know the answer.So who do we believe now? CBS, or Fox News??
Does this mean that no American flag has ever been thrown out?
Is there an Indiana Jones style warehouse where all old flags are stored in crates under a marine honour guard.
