Modern Progs think the problem in Auschwitz was those darn faulty shower heads!
Link a photo of a democrat carrying a Soviet flag. And how would you know if the person is a democrat? Seems more likely they'd be a communist.

Those were southerners. Democrats in the rest of the country had little in common with them. Why should we care?

Saying Lincoln was a Dem is just stupid. People can look it up.
why is it stupid. Look up the definition of a democrat

a : an adherent of democracy
b : one who practices social equality

Lincoln is an icon in Illinois. If a public institution said something about him, it has a 99.99% probability of being true.

Don't be jealous.

By the way, is he simplifying it, or is he being flashy? Which one? You have to pick one or the other, because you can't be simple AND flashy at the same time....there's nothing simple about flashy. So, please take the time to consider what you say before you post next time, in order to save yourself from further embarrassment.

Now, I will go back and watch this delicious specimen, again.

Well, so far in this forum, I have seen Dems say that the only good Dems are those east of the Rocky Mountains...so all of you Dems on the west coast are idiots. And now we have Dems in the south who "aren't really Dems".

Yes, they are. Yes, Dems blocked the schools. Own up to the mistakes of your party, Dems. You are running out of room if you keep separating. You've blocked off the west coast, you've blocked off the south....you think the midwest is full of trailer dwelling, redneck Republicans, which means that thus far, the only place you'll claim is the north east. I'm sure we could dig up all kinds of Dem mess in the north east. The point is, you can't escape the things that your party did. Instead of trying to shift the blame, learn from it.

Hopefully there will remain history sites that retain the facts and don't allow the rewrite of history to suit agendas.
Thank you for these FACTS!! ( Among all the B.S. on this thread!!)

I didn't say that. What I did say is the Democratic party varied by region: southern democrats were often very different from democrats in the rest of the county. This black politician in the 60s was a democrat:

Shirley Chisholm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If the Democratic Party was so bad to blacks at the time, why'd she join it? It was a very different party in the north.

When will ABC / NBC / CBS / CNN / MSNBC / NPR / NYT
etc. "teach" that it was the DEMOCRATS who:

1. Began the KKK as their terror arm targeting blacks
and black supporters?

2. Embraced eugenics & abortion to remove "undesirables" - with
blacks at the top of the list?

3. Were the party of slavery?

4. Segregated the army (Wilson) and it took a REPUBLICAN to fix it?

5. Rounded up the Japanese in America & put them in internment camps (FDR)?

6. Never ever ever ever ever EVER offered a piece of legislation to advance
civil rights for blacks until the 1960's and even THEN it took REPUBLICANS to
get it done?

7. LBJ, a democrat, upon signing the civil rights act said "I'll have them
N words voting democrat for 200 years"?

8. HOSED and HUNG and committed MOST of the violence against blacks in the
1960's & 1970's?
