Lincoln was considered a strong leftist in his day, that's why a right winger killed him.

Uhh, the "lefties" were for keeping the black man on the plantation. Not much has changed since, figuratively speaking.

Get your butt up here to Detroit and tell me leftist social-welfare policies of the Democratic Party haven't created a world of seperate and unequal that would make Bull Connor blush.

Most americans learn about president Lincoln and his assassination in elementary school.
Perhaps in the right wing areas of the country, they teach that General Lee won the war, and rode around on a magical horse given to him by jesus himself

When did Abraham Lincoln switch parties and become a democrat? Or is this your version of revisionist history?

If you have no left then you have a one party system=Fascism
If you have no right then you have a one party system= communism
If you must have a one party system I am sure we can find some backward place on the planet to send you. Maybe one of those Islamofascist republics. Or if you prefer to go the other way Cuba is always looking for a few good communists. This country however was built on the two party system. Love it or leave it.
