I think so.
Contact the ministry of political parties.

They need your input.

With that logic the president of the United States should no be president because his father was arrested at a KKK rally in the 20's. Maybe all white people should be banished from the country because their fore fathers had stolen the land away from the natives and true Americans? Maybe all people of German decent should give all of their money to the descendants of the Jews killed or imprisoned in the concentration camp. It looks crazy and myopic when you magnify one point and twist it into an agenda. Ya think? Trolling?

Studied history? Conservatives are proudly anti-intellectual. You can tell by every moronic post made by the lot of them on this site.

Naw, they just turned over those political positions to the Republicans (who gladly took them).
Lincoln must be spinning in his grave. The Republicans of those days were the Liberals of their day, now they're the NAZIs.

Yeah, Democrats who believed in the supremacy of states rights over that of the federal government, who favored small government over large government, who favored local control over that from Washington DC, who believed in traditional social values....

Gee, kind's sounds like modern REPUBLICANS.

150 years ago, Democrats were the CONSERVATIVE party while Republicans were the LIBERALS of their day.
Face your history.

Democrats need blacks poor, dependent, and a victimhood mentality so that they can always count on their votes. That's what the pandering is all about. The DNC has never been on the side of blacks, and they only supported the civil rights act when they saw their party circling the drain. I do not believe that dem supporters are racist but no doubt the party leaders have been for over 200 years.
