150 Years Ago Today Republicans Freed the Slaves

[Sallow]

FDR was a hero.

He beat Tojo and Hitler.

Something no conservative would ever be able to do.

Can anyone name a conservative President that won a real war? I mean one that was against a power that was really going to destroy this country.

Funny, considering Truman was President when we beat both Tojo and Hitler.

Another Liberal President.

Bush told Bin Laden he could run but he couldn't hide. But apparently he could because Bush couldn't find him. Obama did in two years what Bush couldn't accomplish in two full terms: he took out Bin Laden.

I know Reagan gets all the credit for the military build-up in the 1980's but it was actually Jimmy Carter who approved the development of the smart weapons that won the Gulf War and the Iraqi war.

And under the heading "Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them": What was W doing invading Afghanistan? Because of its location, Afghanistan has been invaded by every conquering army in the world, from Alexander the Great to the Communist Russians and everyone in between - the Brits, the Mongols, Attila the Hun. Afghanistan has been captured, it has been held for long stretches, but never really conquered. Even the Russians couldn't do it.

Did this deter W? No it did not. And when the US leaves this year, it won't have conquered the Afghanis either. What a big waste of money!

The right wingers whining about all of the money wasted on W's wars? No, it's Obamacare that has them all in a tizzy. Something that will benefit every person in the United States. That's the horrible evile waste of money. Not W's wars, not the insane military spending. Obamacare!!!!

That's the conservative gold standard.

You really don't know history, do you? Truman was a blue dog democrat. That's why FDR hated him. By today's standards, he'd be more conservative than most politicians.

Look how far downhill the Republican Party has gone in 150 years.

Another Great moment in Republican Party History. On this day in 1863 Republicans freed the slaves.

Republicans rejoiced. Democrats cursed. Grand Old Partisan reported:


On New Year’s Day in 1863, the Republican Party’s Emancipation Proclamation came into effect. While Republicans rejoiced, Democrat politicians and newspapers denounced President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) for freeing slaves. Demonstrating their depravity, New York’s Gov. Horatio Seymour, who would be the 1868 Democrat presidential nominee, denounced the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today Maobama, the Senate and Congress enslaved all Americans.

What has happened to the party of Lincoln?

They went from the progressive forward-thinking party to TeaBagger homophobic, xenophobic bigots.

They went from true Christians to fake Christians.

Can any conservatives here explain that trajectory? Or Downfall?

The modern Democrat sits slightly to the Left of Pol Pot.

Pitiful, pathetic comment by you.

Look up Truman's Fair Deal and get back to us, particularly the part about National Health Care.

Even to this day, it's the Democrats focusing on skin color. They're still the us vs. them party.

You just keep on believin' that. We just got through showing you what the electorate feels....90% of Blacks for Obama, 70% of Latinos for Obama, over half of women for Obama, most young folks for Obama, nearly all Gays and Lesbians for Obama....... the only two demographics for Romney were White men and folks over 65(half of those over 65 will be dead by the next election). If you guys don't get the drift and make some serious changes the Republican party is history in America. You can't win elections with the support of the 2% of richest Americans and the ignorant 30% base who carry guns and thump their bibles.

What people on this forums don't understand is this...........party representation. See if any of you had half a brain, or better yet picked up one of the MANY pieces of lititure on the subject, you would see that any social scientist with even an ounce of cred. To their name will tell you this. Party repensetation has changed of the years, the republican party that was licoln and that won the northern states during the civil rights movement is what we would call the democratic party of today. In today's terms the republican party represents the consertives in the USA, this includes .....the kkk, neo nazis, many white power militias in the mid west. So the op is a slow slow slow person, and anyone won agrees with him needs to read some of the social science that is out there.

 

[Wry Catcher]

We need to do it again.

Democrats quickly managed to get those freed slaves descendants back into slavery.

There are alot more people than them in chains.

"man is born free and everywhere he is in chains"
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Of course Avatar unkowningly opens a debate on the Social Contract, both the book and the current rejection of the Enlightenment by the callous conservatives. This thread is also one more effort by one more conservative to manipulate history for political purposes.

Every educated person knows that political parties evolve (in the case of the Party of Lincoln it has devolved and is now the party which tries to suppress votes, elect or appoint tokens in an effort to prove it is a party of the big tent (of course that was such a ridiculous claiam it has since faded away).

 

[NYcarbineer]

Another thread about how far the Republican Party has fallen in the last 150 years.

...yes, we liberals get it; that's why we're not Republicans.

December 6, 1865 was the date the slaves were freed.

13th Amendment

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Conservatives (Republicans) stand for individual liberty unlike Democratic Party who still stand and always have stood for slavery and limited if any liberty

Conservatives support states' rights over civil rights. That's why Barry Goldwater, the father of modern conservatism, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Do some research, you're wrong. Goldwater's objections had to do with private enterprise, not government idiot, he was never for government oppression of anyone...Get it straight

Fuck, some of you people are stupid!!

It boggles the mind to read some of the shit posted here by hyper-partisan nutbags on BOTH sides of the aisle.

The paradigm has shifted, folks, and the truth is that neither party gives a rat's ass about ANY of us!

Wake the Hell up already!

"Those who begin “poor, as most do in the race of life, free society is such that he knows he can better his condition.” In a free society, a citizen can “look forward and hope to be a hired laborer this year and the next, work for himself afterward, and finally to hire men to work for him! That is the true system.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Negroes have natural rights however, as other men have,” Lincoln argued; “[the Declaration] does not declare that all men are equal in their attainments or social position,

Explain if you can why the Republcian Party opposes same sex marriage and abortion if it supports individual liberty? Explain why the Republican Party opposed the Equal Rights Amendment and the Lily Leadbetter fair pay act if they support individual liberty? Explain if you can the Republican effort to suppress the vote, a movement that has since slowed since the people spoke on November 6, 2012?
