In a few years, this battle will seem as archaic and backward as the battle against mixed race marriage.
Ahem, but then again, anti miscegenation laws were introduced by the Democrats. So in a sense, you are trying to render the religious beliefs of others as "archaic and backward."
Duly noted, sir/madam
Yes, Southern Christian Democrats...what are the common factors?
Those Southern Christian Democrats used the bible and religion to justify anti miscegenation. Who are they most like now?
They still were Democrats, weren't they? Look how quickly you run to disown them!
Absolutely they were Democrats- they were Conservative Christian Democrats. Republicans of the era were progressive Christians for the most part.
