1. Start at the beginning. The first vice president of the Democrat Party was Aaron Burr: After the loss of his seat in the legislature in 1799, he began to organize the Democratic Party in New York City. The group became a political powerhouse that could ensure the election of a democratic President. The ticket was to be Thomas Jefferson as President and Aaron Burr as Vice-President. Aaron Burr
2. Of course, it was Burr who shot and killed Founder Alexander Hamilton. He then plotted sedition against his own President, charged with treason in a conspiracy regarding capitalization on a possible war with Spain. He eventually was acquitted after a trial in 1807. He sailed to England in 1808 hoping to gain support for a revolution in Mexico. He was ordered out of the country and traveled in Europe to Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Paris. There he tried to garner support from Napoleon. Ibid.
a. His personal life includes similarities to a number of his party: He was indicted for murder (but not convicted) after the death of Hamilton; arrested and prosecuted for treason by Jefferson (but not convicted). Aaron Burr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The die was cast for the future Democrat Party.
3. Burr was not only one of the founders of the Democratic Party- called the Democratic-Republicans at the time- but he began the construction of the political machine upon which the power of that organization is based. Aaron Burr
a. Tammany Hall in New York city was, in many ways the model for American municipal corruption. The legacy of Aaron Burrs Democrat party: bribery, theft, extortion seamlessly married to big city machine politics. The evolution of the criminal enterprise known as the Democratic Party built on corruption, to the use of gangsters as a source of its funds, to its philosophical alliance with communism, to it's modern marriage to big labor.
The People v. The Democratic Party, Michael Walsh
4. The father of the modern Democratic Party was Andrew Jackson. In the 1820s, the leaders of Tammany threw their support behind Andrew Jacksons quest for the presidency. Tammany leaders met with Jackson before his election in 1828, promised their support, and when Jackson was elected they were rewarded, in what became known as the spoils system, with federal jobs in New York City. With Tammany associated with the Jacksonians and the Democratic Party, the organization was viewed as friendly to the working people. And when waves of immigrants, especially from Ireland, arrived in New York City, Tammany became associated with the immigrant vote. Tammany Hall | Political Machine Ran New York City in the 1800s
5. The Republican Party was formed and an explicitly antislavery party, as opposed to the Democrats, who vied for the immigrant vote by championing slavery. John C. Fremont, first Republican candidate for President, opposed the expansion of slavery under the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Republican slogan was Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Speech, Free Men, and Fremont.
a. Fremont lost to Democrat Buchanan, whose party invented the Kansas-Nebraska Act. allowing the expansion of slavery Buchanan, a Democrat, warned that the Republicans were extremists United States presidential election, 1856 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
b. The Whigs ran former President Millard Fillmore, who represented the anti-Catholic Know-Nothing Party. When President, Fillmore had signed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, mandating that runaway slaves had to be returned to the masters; the law was upheld seven years later by Roger Taneys Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott decision.
c. Some critics of the Dred Scott decision charged that President James Buchanan had conspired with Chief Justice Roger B. Taney to allow further expansion of slavery. [C]ritics included Abraham Lincoln and other Republicans .The historical record seems to indicate that Taney, at the very least, did provide advance notification to the president about the courts decision. Further, it appears that Buchanan, in a clear abuse of his authority, persuaded a Northern Justice to join the Southerners, allowing the decision to appear less regionally partisan. Buchanan-Taney Conspiracy
6. General George McClellan ran against Lincolns second term. Running as a Democrat, McClellans platform was written by the antiwar, borderline seditious Copperheads. The Copperheads, so-called by Republicans who compared them to poisonous snakes, and by themselves after the Goddess of Liberty appearing on copper pennies, The Copperheads were shot through with racism, and increasingly opposed a war that moved from a goal of restoring the Union to one committed to abolition. http://cll.com/clientuploads/pdfs/Copperhead.PDF Good ol Democrats, at it again.
a. Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, an angry Copperhead, a.k.a., peace democrat, (when that meant pro-slavery, of course.) John Wilkes Booth - Liberapedia
7. With the aid and acquiescence of academia and the media since the 1960's, the by any means necessary" Democrat party is the enemy of these founding virtues:
individualism, self-reliance, private (as opposed to public) charity, religious belief, religious liberty, personal expression, freedom of both public and private speech, the Judeo-Christian heritage, the right to self-defense, and low taxation.
Walsh, Op.Cit.
Once educated to the above, Americans will eschew this radical anti-American antagonist, anathema of our values.

Whoever wrote this dropped out of high school before the 10th grade! It was HAMILTON that challenged Burr of course, and Jackson began the Democratic party based ON Jefferson's Democratic Republicans; be honest, you have never read ANY of Jefferson's works, nor do you know US history from uranium.
I see PC bailed when anything but canned internet history is produced. More on Hamilton:
He despised the idea that citizens should ELECT leaders, he considered most Americans unfit TO vote, even the WHITE MALES then allowed to do so; here is his opinion of Americans:
The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.
Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton desired an oligarchy, thus his estrangement from not only Jefferson, but eventually, Adams and Washington also.
Benedict Arnold would have been one of today's Republicans.
Start at the beginning? Then say how the Democratic Party, originally called the Republican Party, was founded by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Why are you focused on Burr? Oh, to make the point that Dems are bad. Got it.1. Start at the beginning. The first vice president of the Democrat Party was Aaron Burr
[/QUOTE] All true but it's important to note his trial for treason came after he was kicked out of the Democratic Party. Burr was not convicted (despite Jefferson charging him with treason) due to a lack of evidence.2. Of course, it was Burr who shot and killed ‘Founder’ Alexander Hamilton. He then plotted sedition against his own President, “… charged with treason in a conspiracy regarding capitalization on a possible war with Spain.

Without a doubt. The Chicago machine runs a close second, I imagine. Both are Democratic run, true.B]Tammany Hall in New York city was, in many ways the model for American municipal corruption.[/B]
Wrong. You cannot say it's Burr's party when 1) it was founded by Madison and Jefferson, not Burr, and 2) the party disavowed him.The legacy of Aaron Burr’s Democrat party: bribery, theft, extortion seamlessly married to big city machine politics.
I agree with big labor, but communism? If the Democratic Party is allied with Communism, wouldn't Communists join the Democratic Party? Instead, they started their own party and ran candidates against Democrats. There's no alliance when you're competing for votes. As for corruption and gangsters, I doubt any political party has a lock on those.The evolution of the criminal enterprise known as the Democratic Party built on corruption, to the use of gangsters as a source of its funds, to its philosophical alliance with communism, to it's modern marriage to big labor.
Only if by modern you mean the 19th Century. The father of the modern (i.e. 20th/21st century) Democratic Party is FDR.4. The father of the modern Democratic Party was Andrew Jackson.

True enough. Republicans (who aren't the GOP as this shows) began as anti-slavery while Democrats became pro-slavery. What is less clear, however, is the political leanings of these parties back then. Republicans were full of what we would call liberals, while Democrats were mostly conservatives. That goes counter to your core argument, that Democrats have historically been bad and still are. Both parties were much different over two hundred years ago--go figure.5.The Republican Party was formed and an explicitly antislavery party, as opposed to the Democrats, who vied for the immigrant vote by championing slavery.

Are you seriously saying people are better off with extreme positions? Have you seen the Muslim world lately?
As far as I know, Clinton never raped anyone nor has any allegation or lawsuit successfully proved that. Clinton became a magnet of improper and false accusations, making his real failing (Lewinsky) seem unreal--the whole crying wolf problem. Everybody has faults--the question is can you look past them? For me, I can look past Clinton's affair. It's not right by any means, and his response was completely unpresidential. But that's one facet.
Benedict Arnold would have been one of today's Republicans.
One can always count on you, deanie, for a stupid, biased post totally unrelated to any real world condition or situation.
But I am often amused by them.
In this case I have an interest, having recently taken a trip to West Point.
Sitting in one of the chapels, I noticed a plaque.....
"The walls of the Old Cadet Chapel in the West Point Cemetery are covered with plaques and medallions citing brave deeds and battles. One plaque close to the altar differs from the others: the name once deeply etched there has been obliterated. The absent name is Benedict Arnold, a name now synonymous with "traitor."

What is the inscription on Benedict Arnold's plaque, and where is it? ------ The inscription contains only the rank and date of birth. Both the name and date of death have been gouged out. The plaque is in the Old Cadet Chapel (Post Cemetery).

Source: the Village VoiceBefore beginning an intermittent series on the Clinton legacy, it's necessary to try to disturb the general relief among most of the citizenry, including George W. Bush, about independent counsel Robert Ray's agreement to end any criminal liability for William Jefferson Clinton. This discounting of justice is far more pernicious than the late-night pardons of Marc Rich and others.
Titled "An Agreed Order of Discipline," the deal was calculatedly made with Clinton and his lawyer by Robert Ray just before Clinton left office. On succeeding the much bastinadoed Kenneth Starr, Ray pledged that he would affirm the principle that "no person is above the law, not even the President of the United States."
On January 19, Ray told the nation what he had secured from Clinton to prevent his indictment. Clinton admitted he "knowingly gave evasive and misleading testimony" in his deposition in the Paula Jones case. Clinton also admitted his testimony was "prejudicial to the administration of justice." As punishment, Clinton's law license was suspended for five years, and he paid a $25,000 fine to the Arkansas Bar Association. Furthermore, he agreed not to try to get reimbursement for his legal fees connected with the independent counsel's investigation.

You've always been easily amused. A bright shiny piece of broken glass. A string. It doesn't take much.
....and I ripped you a new one, didn't I?
....and I ripped you a new one, didn't I?
Yes, we got us a legend in her own mind!
You're new to this internet thing, I see. Otherwise, you would have known that the declare-victory-and-retreat routine simply gets everyone laughing at you.
An honest and sensible person who wanted to compare the violent nature of each side would look at recent data. The American right is killing a lot more people than the American left. The American right tends to slurp the heinies of their violent wing, while the American left disowns their violent wing.
A shameless partisan propagandist would deliberately ignore recent reality, and instead put together a cherrypicked list of arbitarily chosen and strangely mangled data from centuries ago, and then insanely pretend it meant something.
I did the former. You did the latter. 'Nuff said.
So, what do you hope to accomplish with these unibomber manifestos, other to convince everyone that you're a little off?
By all means then, list those recently dead by the hand of the American left. For once, back up that big talk.
I could mention a list of abortion workers, Oklahoma City, the Sikh Temple, the Holocaust Museum, the Unitarian Church, and so on. I think all you could find is one chicken-bag holder who couldn't aim well enough to kill anyone.
And again, the secondary point there is that no one on the left is supporting chicken-bagger, while the right kisses up to white supremicists, militias and clinic bombers. You know the "oh, we condemn violence (winkwink), but all of you are still welcome here!" thing.
Perhaps you could give us a list of liberal militias recently caught planning to violently attack/overthrow the government? I just mention that since I could give a list of such conservative militias.
The Leftist Leviathan
David Horowitz and Jacob Laksin expose the new reality of American politics.
by Janice Fiamengo
September 20, 2012
---
Co-written by two of the most highly respected conservative commentators on the political scene today, The New Leviathan is a groundbreaking portrait of the lefts tax-exempt resources, with nearly a hundred pages of appendices identifying the comparative assets of conservative and progressivist groups. The authors show in hard figures how left-wing foundations financially outstrip the right by a factor of ten to one. In 2009, progressivist funds totaled a hefty 104.56 billion dollars. A single left-leaning philanthropy, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, had an endowment of over 33 billion, which alone is three times the total of funds accessible to the 75 viable conservative groups. Leftist foundations, the authors show, are both dramatically richer and better organized than those on the right, with groups such as the Tides Foundation existing precisely to coordinate and support the phalanx of left-wing organizations. Tides has received money from the most venerable of American philanthropies, including the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon, and Kellogg. When campaigning on individual public issues, the left swamps its opponents: for example, 117 progressivist organizations devoted more than 50% of their programs to supporting open borders and citizens rights for illegal aliens, with a total of 306.1 million dollars. They are opposed by only nine conservative organizations that address the illegal immigration agenda, with a comparatively small financial base of 13.8 million.
As they develop their thesis, Horowitz and Laksin focus on different aspects of the left-wing political machine, showing the depth and pervasiveness of foundations rolefor example, in nurturing and funding Obama, first when he was a community organizer and then as a presidential candidate. Those who have had doubts about Obamas formation as a creature of the left will almost certainly be convinced by the evidence amassed here. Organizations such as Project Vote, a registration drive targeting black voters for which Obama served as director, and the Annenberg Challenge, a Chicago school initiative focused on African-centered curricula for which he was chairman of the board, not only introduced him to the ideology and tactics of Saul Alinsky-style radicals, but also put him in contact with many of the extremists who would later assist him on his ascent to the White House and would become key policy advisors. These include the academic power couple associated with the Midwest Academy training center for radicals, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, unrepentant former Weather Underground terrorists.
