You can revise history as much as you want but democrats were the ones fighting for states rights (slavery). Also, might I remind you that liberal icon Woodrow Wilson became president in 1912 and his first official act was to re-segregate the civil service. The left's history with race is atrocious and it remains so. The "soft bigotry of low expectations" persist in the democratic party today.
States rights is the natural home for conservatives but the very concept has been tainted by the fact that it became the professed home of pro slavery and pro segregation democrats. Luckily, with the help of conservative voters the republican party was able to undo much of the lefts damage. The fight, obviously, continues.
Please...please
Learn the difference between Democrat/Republican and Liberal/Conservative
It will make your understanding of history much easier
Why is it so hard for some to GET IT?
Its true that the Republican party was once "great" but those days are gone. Or at least, they're among the missing. Now its all about big business, foreign money and screwing over the little guy.
That's why they're losing more and more elections.
Actually, they're winning more and more local elections. However, I do think your eulogy is a bit premature and if you think big business, foreign money and screwing the little guy doesn't describe the democratic party then I have a bridge to sell you.
