and the KKK was made up almost exclusively of democrats. Lincoln was a republican. Republicans passed the civil rights act.
if you are going to recite history, at least do it accurately
Yep. And, as Johnson foresaw, with the passing of the Civil Rights Act, the parties completely switched places. The South became the GOP stronghold, the industrial north and the Northeast and West Coast, that of the Democrats.
Now it is the GOP that openly tries to prevent minorities from voting, that talks of women in a degrading manner, and insists they have no right to make decisions for themselves.
And we are fighting a great battle in the GOP to remove the racists and the sexists and nativists from power. We have made strides against the racists, will pass the immigration bill, and accept the rulings of SCOTUS on DOMA and Prop 8.
The GOP is shedding the power of the far right and reaching to the center.
We in the mainstream GOP will nominate great Americans from the right of center, ignore the reactionaries and haters to our far right, and win the election of 2016, which will change the course of American history for the good.
I hope so. Today's Repubs are charicatures of themselves. They play right into the hands of people's pre-concieved notions like "A woman's body can shut that down" from MidWest repubs in re: women being able to auto abort rape babies
