Did you read the original post that prompted GWB to post that? https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/...-in-clown-foreplay.329822/page-6#post-4807377
Wrong and so?? Slavery is not compatible with Conservatism...nor is overt racism... Dems just change their tune like a jukebox... Ask a Dem today if he's a Liberal or not. Most of them aren't. They are communists. Lincoln believed himself to be a Conservative. "But you say you are conservative - eminently conservative - while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live;" while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new. True, you disagree among yourselves as to what that substitute shall be. You are divided on new propositions and plans, but you are unanimous in rejecting and denouncing the old policy of the fathers. Some of you are for reviving the foreign slave trade; some for a Congressional Slave-Code for the Territories; some for Congress forbidding the Territories to prohibit Slavery within their limits; some for maintaining Slavery in the Territories through the judiciary; some for the "gur-reat pur-rinciple" that "if one man would enslave another, no third man should object," fantastically called "Popular Sovereignty;" but never a man among you is in favor of federal prohibition of slavery in federal territories, according to the practice of "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live." Not one of all your various plans can show a precedent or an advocate in the century within which our Government originated. Consider, then, whether your claim of conservatism for yourselves, and your charge or destructiveness against us, are based on the most clear and stable foundations." ~Source: National Historic Site, Text of Lincoln's address to Cooper Union, February 27, 1860.
I will agree that the KKK, which only admits Democrats, is the largest domestic terrorist organization in American history.
You left this part out of your post Questions To Be Asked Candidates 4. Did you belong to the Federal Army during the late war, and fight against the South during the existence of the same? 5. Are you opposed to Negro equality both social and political? 6. Are you in favor of a white man's government in this country? 7. Are you in favor of constitutional liberty, and a government of equitable laws instead of a government of violence and oppression? 8. Are you in favor of maintaining the constitutional rights of the South? 9. Are you in favor of the reenfranchisement and emancipation of the white men of the South, and the restitution of the Southern people to all their rights, alike proprietary, civil, and political?
Who did these states vote for in 2016? Territory and Its Divisions Section 1. The territory embraced within the jurisdiction of this Order shall be coterminous with the states of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee; all combined constituting the Empire.
Actually till this day Republicans are not eligible for admission into the KKK mainstream organizations. The KKK after all was dedicated to terrorizing and lynching Blacks, Republicans, Catholics, and Jews. Ku Klux Klan members in United States politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_members_in_United_States_politics You will note that all the listed politicians are Democrats. The only one to change parties was David Duke after he was no longer a klan member.
Dude why are you guys so bent on pretending the democrats of today are the democrats prior to 1964? The democrats of today are heavily defined by the civil rights act of 1964. Its core to their policy. Conservatives were totally against the civil rights act. We are talking about Barry Goldwater here. If you are at all interested in American political history, take a look at New England Governorship prior and post civil rights act. You’ll see the switch from Republican to Democrats across the board in the most liberal, at the time, region of the country. Just as the south would not identify as republicans for 100 years after Lincoln - they were still the most conservative region in the country.
