Obama stiffs the historic Gettysburg Address Ceremonies, because Lincoln was a Republican.
Just the opposite of Obamacare, where 100% of Democrats supported it and zero Republicans
Giving former slaves and all blacks full citizenship and the right to vote. 100% of Republicans supported, with zero Democrat support.
1964 civil rights.... 100% Republican support, with 5% of democrats supported it.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

He didn't say all Democrats are created equal,.
Why don't you re-think your post. For instance, only a youth would argue that 'Republicans' of today equal 'Republicans' of the Civil Rights era, or of the Civil War.
We must recall that using 'conservative' and 'liberal' can be more consistent when talking about long periods of time, instead of 'party labels'.
For instance, during the civil rights era, many "southern Democrats" eventually wound up becoming Republicans, since they did not believe in Civil Rights. Texas, of course, was Democrat for many a decade, until the late 1970s, when it become 'Republican'. The people themselves did not change that much, but the parties' positions did.
Hence, if we read your statement as "100 percent of Conservatives supported Civil Rights", it would be obviously a flawed statement.
150 years is usually significant as far as anniversaries go. He did say, fundamentally change.
Well if this upsets you, your head will explode when learn that Reagan snubbed the 125th Anniversary.
