Once done, the party quickly split over the issue of just how free African Americans should be allowed to be compared to their ex-Confederate whites. Needless to say, the faction fighting for total freedom and equality didn't electorally last very long and the issue was the primary reason Reconstruction fell apart. <br /><br />I know, stupid liberal citing history and all... trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830124404306531933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-83794223894037268162016-03-01T01:11:09.890-06:002016-03-01T01:11:09.890-06:00The GOP will die as it lived: screaming incoheren...The GOP will die as it lived: screaming incoherently, flinging shit in all directions and destroying as much of the country and world as they can.ChicagoPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534062880127589011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-77839394596990113562016-02-29T17:17:53.910-06:002016-02-29T17:17:53.910-06:00Anyone who says "party of Lincoln" after...Anyone who says "party of Lincoln" after watching republicans dominate the confederacy for decades is disqualified from speaking in public.steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620735494191381865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-8074703089771184562016-02-29T12:02:24.791-06:002016-02-29T12:02:24.791-06:001.

But that's mind-reading, and I try to avoid that sort of thing.<br /><br />2. To no one in particular...looks like that (David) Duke's a hazard (to Trump's presidential aspirations). See what I did there? I'm awesome.<br /><br />3. "So is this how the party of Abraham Lincoln dies?" Cue Natalie Portman in Revenge of the Sith.<br /><br />4. "Trump’s feigned ignorance about the KKK raises disturbing questions" As for Mr. Scarborough, I don't know what's worse...the thought that he feigned ignorance about Mr. Trump's supporters...or that he genuinely WAS ignorant until now. Bet Melissa Harris-Perry figured this out a long time ago.<br /><br />5. "Is he really so ignorant of Southern voters that he thinks this is the way to their heart — to go neutral, to play Switzerland when you’re talking about the Klan?" Uh, Mr. Scarborough, you realize Mr. Trump's supporters are kinda iffy on whether ending slavery was a good thing, right?

I'm done masturbating to my own reflection (metaphorically speaking).<br /><br />And good afternoon, Mr. Glass.

It is going to be years and messy in its completion.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092023794397583036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-80560286703355143612016-02-29T10:14:50.403-06:002016-02-29T10:14:50.403-06:00Yes, the Party of Lincoln died a long time ago.
