a bot, Special Ed is a bot.

finally figured IT out

"Historians do not agree on the details surrounding the origin of Parties. Some believe that Jefferson forged the Republican party from coalition of existing state and local parties"....[in the 1790's].

Page 31, Political Parties in America by Robert Huckshorn( most popular Political Science text on parties in USA.


"Although people were still deeply ambivalent about political parties, although one party did not necessarily recognize the legitimacy of the other, and although men on both sides were nostalgic- at one time or another- for the imaginary golden age of political harmony, few people could be found in the early 1790's who believed the parties did not exist. The parties had names: Federalist and Republican."

- Susan Dunn, Jefferson's Second Revolution.

Which is not what they say when it comes to abortion, where free choice is more important.

yes, the only freedom liberals want is the freedom to kill their babies!! That way they can have cheap meaningless sex with whomever they want and continue to preside over the death of love and family in America! Who needs love and family-right??

actually we want to kill other people's babies, not our own

Just because people want FREEDOM from govt mandates
DOES NOT MEAN we want to kill people with guns, abortion, war, etc.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't prefer PREVENTION over abortion.
Same with guns and war powers used for DEFENSE and DETERRENCE,
not necessarily to kill, which would be prevented if security is maintained properly.

Wanting freedom of religion for Muslims, Atheists, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc.
does NOT mean wanting to practice any of those things per se.

Freedom FROM Gov't mandates? I think by going with the BIG FEDERAL Gov't Constitutions got rid of the libertarian BS that has NEVER worked anywhere, ever!

 

[Dad2three]

Fact: Jefferson had little to do with the formation of Jeffersonian Republican Party

100% stupid and liberal of course which explains why the liberal cant say who had most to do with formation of Jefferson Republican Party, if not Jefferson, in 1793 and what the evidence of that is.

name given pages back.

go do your homework

100% stupid and liberal of course which explains why the goof liberal cant say who had most to do with formation of Jefferson Republican Party, if not Jefferson, in 1793 and what the evidence of that is.

Just about anyone whose read history about the early Democratic-Republican Party (later split to become the Democratic party or WHIGS) knows James Madison started it Bubba, why don't you? They were the anti Federalists (didn't want the Constitution dummy!)

Democratic-Republican Party


Alternate title: Jeffersonian Republicans

Democratic-Republican Party, originally (1792–98) Republican Party, first opposition political party in the United States. Organized in 1792 as the Republican Party, its members held power nationally between 1801 and 1825. It was the direct antecedent of the present Democratic Party.

During the two administrations of President George Washington (1789–97), many former Anti-Federalists—who had resisted adoption of the new federal Constitution (1787)—began to unite in opposition to the fiscal program of Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury. After Hamilton and other proponents of a strong central government and a loose interpretation of the Constitution formed the Federalist Party in 1791, those who favoured states’ rights and a strict interpretation of the Constitution rallied under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, who had served as Washington’s first secretary of state. Jefferson’s supporters, deeply influenced by the ideals of the French Revolution (1789), first adopted the name Republican to emphasize their antimonarchical views.

Notwithstanding the party’s antielitist foundations, the first three Democratic-Republican presidents—Jefferson (1801–09), James Madison (1809–17), and James Monroe (1817–25)—were all wealthy, aristocratic Southern planters, though all three shared the same liberal political philosophy. Jefferson narrowly defeated the Federalist John Adams in the election of 1800; his victory demonstrated that power could be transferred peacefully between parties under the Constitution. Once in office, the Democratic-Republicans attempted to scale back Federalist programs but actually overturned few of the institutions they had criticized (e.g., the Bank of the United States was retained until its charter expired in 1811). Nevertheless, Jefferson made a genuine effort to make his administration appear more democratic and egalitarian: he walked to the Capitol for his inauguration rather than ride in a coach-and-six, and he sent his annual message to Congress by messenger, rather than reading it personally. Federal excises were repealed, the national debt was retired, and the size of the armed forces was greatly reduced. However, the demands of foreign relations (such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803) often forced Jefferson and his successors into a nationalistic stance reminiscent of the Federalists.

Does Dumbto3 have any idea why cut and pasted from an encyclopedia???

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Just about anyone whose read history about the early Democratic-Republican Party (later split to become the Democratic party or WHIGS) knows James Madison started it )

If so Dumbto3 would not be so afraid to present his evidence?? What does his fear teach us?


Dumbto3: "those who favoured states’ rights and a strict interpretation of the Constitution rallied under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson",[to form Republican Party]

See why the liberal is known as "dumbto3". His arrogance and ignorance compete with each other.

 

[Friends]

The United States Constitution is vaguely worded, and open to various interpretations. Nevertheless, reactionaries like to claim that it requires laissez faire capitalism.

Social liberals like to find new rights, like the right to an abortion, that are not mentioned in the Constitution, and that would almost certainly have been opposed by those who signed the original document, and who wrote and passed additional amendments.

The Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954, which prohibited segregated public schools, was based largely on the Fourteenth Amendment, which states "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."

Nevertheless, the same Congress that voted for the Fourteenth Amendment, also voted to keep the public school system in Washington, DC segregated.

My philosophy on the U.S. Constitution is that if it does not clearly say something we should assume that it is silent on the matter, and leave it up to the U.S. Congress, the state legislatures, and popular referenda.

I dislike the power of the U.S. Supreme Court. That power is not clearly authorized in the Constitution. I have more confidence in 51 percent of the voters than in nine Supreme Court justices who are not elected by the voters, who are appointed for life, and who may change their ideology after they are appointed, as Earl Warren certainly did.

I am very much opposed to the Supreme Court overturning popular legislation that has been in effect for a long time. If the legislation is unconstitutional someone should have noticed long ago.

Think about this for a second...The constitution was wrote by men that fault the FEDERAL government should have the power to tax the states. These people knew the federal government needed funding to maintain a unified military, build infrastructure and many of them believed a standard of economic stability..

Name a first world nation on earth that doesn't? If you can't then your argument is based on nothing.

dear, we have 80% of recent medical patents because we have more capitalism and less libturd govt than other countries. We don't want to be like other first world countries, they want to be like us.

Do you understand??

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

and many of them believed a standard of economic stability..

of course Matt is a typical liberal liar which is why he is so afraid to name "many of them?

What does his fear teach us??

Our Founders wanted and created very very tiny govt. The whole point was to give us freedom from big liberal govt. Does little Matty understand his ABC'c now?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

As a conservative I have my doubts. The court is highly educated, very very thoughtful, and they leave a very clear paper trail. 51% make their decisions based on 30 second TV commercials.
