"Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "C J Campbell" wrote: Seems a number of people have forgotten that liberalism has abandoned liberal principles. Yup, and it's distressing to see conservatism in America is doing the same thing WRT conservative principles. -- Modern conservatives are not traditional conservatives any more than modern liberals are traditional liberals. Conservatives today seem to be a motley mix of radicals, anarchists, and brigands. It is especially weird to see the party of Lincoln (as it calls itself) almost completely taken over by racists and xenophobes. I never did figure out how the Democrats, who supported slavery and generally opposed any form of equal rights, managed to hijack that issue from the Republicans, who fought to free the slaves, passed the Equal Housing Act, and enacted many other such reforms. Nor have I figured out how the Democrats managed to hijack environmentalism from the Teddy Roosevelt Republicans. So now you have 'conservatives' running around talking about property rights and states' rights (originally created to protect slavery) and protecting large corporations while espousing populist principles. And you have the 'liberals' running around trying to limit free speech and press, disarming the public, and supporting the worst thugs and despots imaginable in other countries in the name of 'diversity' and 'tolerance.' |

(originally created to protect slavery) Democrats wanted the 3/5 law and Republicans were not willing to go to war over it and as long as libertarins could control the purse everyone was willing to leave things be for a while. and protecting large corporations while espousing populist principles. The libertarian wing (once Federalists) of the Republican Party insistthey address the issues of fiscal responsibility and a small central government, but libertarians are out of favor now due to their isolationist tendancies.

Racism has always been the Democrats' product. |
