but i've been using that signature since before you had your first, oh, never mind...

anyway, here are the basics on the republican party relevent to post reconstruction re civil rights, anyone who studied in matters historical will acknowlege the shifting sands have rendered the republican party of today without the merit of, or connection to, that of the times of lincoln.

That's always the case, that today's GOP-sters like to compare themselves to Lincoln, when in actual fact, Abe was hardly like any of the lying crooks that call themselves "Republicans" now.

Merely claiming, "I'm a Repub just like Lincoln was" does not make one the same as he. Talk is cheap and labels are free; it's their deeds that have told the tale.

this story is relevant:
Quote:
"How the GOP Became God's Own Party"

By Kevin Phillips
Sunday, April 2, 2006; Page B03

Now that the GOP has been transformed by the rise of the South, the trauma of terrorism and George W. Bush's conviction that God wanted him to be president, a deeper conclusion can be drawn: The Republican Party has become the first religious party in U.S. history.

We have had small-scale theocracies in North America before -- in Puritan New England and later in Mormon Utah. Today, a leading power such as the United States approaches theocracy when it meets the conditions currently on display: an elected leader who believes himself to speak for the Almighty, a ruling political party that represents religious true believers, the certainty of many Republican voters that government should be guided by religion and, on top of it all, a White House that adopts agendas seemingly animated by biblical worldviews.
...Over a quarter-century of Bush presidencies and vice presidencies, the Republican Party has slowly become the vehicle of all three interests -- a fusion of petroleum-defined national security; a crusading, simplistic Christianity; and a reckless credit-feeding financial complex. The three are increasingly allied in commitment to Republican politics. On the most important front, I am beginning to think that the Southern-dominated, biblically driven Washington GOP represents a rogue coalition, like the Southern, proslavery politics that controlled Washington until Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860

Kevin Phillips is the author of "American Theocracy: The Perils and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century" (Viking).

4. Name one Repig that has actually stood for the Constitution - which is what they took an oath to defend - rather than goosestepping to the Bu$hCo party line. The 9/11 "investigation", domestic spying/wiretapping, and falsely entering into a war on Iraq are just a few examples.

Uh huh. That's what I thought. Case closed.

Making a lot of assumptions there, aren't ya Skippy?

But since you mention it, you're admitting that the Repigs don't consider hard-working Americans to be worthy of support, right? Only those who sit on their asses and collect their living through tax giveaways and corporate welfare need apply, hmmm?
