People forget that Democrats were the party of Jim Crow and slavery.

That's like saying Britain is imperialistic because they had an empire a while ago. Need I remind you that the Republican Party was progressive in its early days? Not that I don't think that LBJ was a manipulative, racist bastard.

right... and you realize Lincoln eventually planned on shipping the slaves back to africa? the "everyone's hero" of the civil war has numerous quotes in office where he had no intention of giving freedmen any rights.

not to mention they were behind a LOT of the racism that was in the culture and still are. racebaiting and race based politics has been in use by democrats for well over a century.

Edited by Frnksnbns: 12/22/2013 6:10:47 AMBtw, along the same lines is the Democratic push for "immigration reform" which is just code for amnesty. The Democrats want to legalize 11 million illegals because the majority will vote Democratic. Frankly Obamacare and the expansion of Medicaid is the same thing. Give the people free stuff, get them hooked, and you get their votes. The cool thing about that town hall meeting was seeing so many people start to realize that they may be being used.
