Further, if you are going to call them the "Democratic Party," why wouldn't you call the Republican Party the "Republicanic Party?"

We are the Party of Republicans, hence, the "Republican Party". They are the Party of Democrats, hence the "Democrat Party."

I think the term is more correct. Just my opinion, and I will continue to use the designation for their party. If it seems offensive to you for some reason, too bad. Get over it. Democrats offend me daily.
So you dont even know the genesis of the use of the term...

^^^^^This

Some on the right might just be oblivious to the fact that the Teapublicans are reviving Lee Atwater's Southern Strategy and some are jumping right on board, knowing full well how clearly racist it is. Congressman Grayson knows from whence he speaks.

I'm afraid your wrong. I have not heard one Democrat denounce Grayson. This goes right along with Harry Reid and others of your Party who have called Republicans "Jihadists,"terrorists," and worse. This is your Party. It's who you are. You are not the Party of tolerance. You are intolerant bigots, filled with hatred for Christians, Jews, and anyone who doesn't agree with your Progressive agenda.

Some of your Party have even suggested sending Republicans to "retraining camps."

And, who are you calling the RWNJ'S? (your definition)

Those who Leftists call Right Wing Nut Jobs are merely conservatives seeking to restore Constitutional government. We should do that. That is not a radical position. Limited government is enshrined in the Constitution.

What is radical and extreme is the "fundamental transformation of the United States of America." (a quote from Barack Hussein Oabma, 2008)

But, I do see the Left in lockstep with the most extreme in your Party. There is virtually no independent thought taking place. All stand firmly behind Barack Obama and his administration, no matter how out of the mainstream an idea may be. That is how we got saddled with ObamaCare.

Can you provide an example of "crazy comments" comments from the "far right."

We really don't have any "far right" in our Party. Even the "Tea Party" isn't "far right."

Belief in restoring Constitutional government is not a "far right" concept. Freedom and Liberty are not "far right" concepts.

My, you have awfully low standards for Democrat elected officials. But, we knew that.

LBJ knew he would lose the white vote in the Old South when he signed the Equal Rights Legislation. Eventually the southern racists started to die out and the Democratic Party no longer needs them or the Old South. The modern south are more than welcome.

Stand up and speak up for whats right instead of ignoring it. Ignoring it is what has made your party to look to be the party ran by for leftists. You know the loudest bully gets his way until hes knocked down. When you stay quiet he wins.
Exactly. Silence is acceptance.
