Bullshit.Citizenship comes with duties and responsibilities. If one is not willing to defend their country, then they don't deserve to be called a citizen.

I'm pretty sure the op was talking about using Blacks as slaves, but that was long ago. The anti slave republican party of old wouldn't spit on today's republican party, who's attitude is "gain wealth, forgetting all but self".

History notes that all those pro-slavery Democrats became Republicans when the Civil Rights Act passed. Well, honest history notes it, how the Republican party so proudly welcomed all the slavers defecting from the Democrats.
At least Muhammed still feels ashamed of the current batch of Republican slavers -- which is why he's trying so hard to deflect attention from them -- so there's hope for him. His conscience is obviously bothering him, and that's good.
If you conservatives are that ashamed of how Republicans act now, why not just leave the Republicans, instead of constantly making these excuses for their slaving ways? However, if you're not ashamed of their slaving ways, I can see why you'd want to stay.
You know what? You're an idiot. A complete and utter moron. Here you go, Spanky. Educate yourself. Your ignorance offends me. It took me about two minutes to find and post all of this. The fact that you still believe that stupid myth about the dixiecrats shows that you are either brainless twit, or dishonest. So which is it?

Following the epic civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the South began a major demographic shift from Democratic to Republican dominance. Many believe that this shift was motivated by racism. While it is certainly true that many Southern racists abandoned the Democratic Party over its new support for racial equality and integration, the notion that they would flock to the Republican Party -- which was a century ahead of the Democrats on those issues -- makes no sense whatsoever.
Yet virtually every liberal, when pressed on the matter, will inevitably claim that the parties "switched," and most racist Democrats became Republicans! In their minds, this historical ju jitsu maneuver apparently transfers all the past sins of the Democrats (slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, etc.) onto the Republicans and all the past virtues of the Republicans (e.g., ending slavery) onto the Democrats! That's quite a feat!
It is true that Barry Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 probably attracted some racist Democrats to the Republican Party. However, Goldwater was not a racist -- at least not an overt racist like so many Southern Democrats of the time, such as George Wallace and Bull Connor. He publicly professed racial equality, and his opposition to the 1964 Act was based on principled grounds of states rights. In any case, his libertarian views were out of step with the mainstream, and he lost the 1964 Presidential election to LBJ in a landslide.
But Goldwater's opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act provided liberals an opening to tar the Republican Party as racist, and they have tenaciously repeated that label so often over the years that it is now the conventional wisdom among liberals. But it is really nothing more than an unsubstantiated myth -- a convenient political lie. If the Republican Party was any more racist than the Democratic Party even in 1964, why did a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act? The idea that Goldwater's vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act trumps a century of history of the Republican Party is ridiculous, to say the least.
Every political party has its racists, but the notion that Republicans are more racist than Democrats or any other party is based on nothing more than a constant drumbeat of unsubstantiated innuendo and assertions by Leftists, constantly echoed by the liberal media. It is a classic example of a Big Lie that becomes "true" simply by virtue of being repeated so many times.
A more likely explanation for the long-term shift from Democratic to Republican dominance in the South was the perception, fair or not, that the Democratic Party had rejected traditional Christian religious values and embraced radical secularism. That includes its hardline support for abortion, its rejection of prayer in public schools, its promotion of the gay agenda, and many other issues.

A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism
The facts don't lie. In your ref:
"why did a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act?"
It's because there were more Republicans in northern states.
In 1964 or 100 years following the Civil War, the SOUTHERN states were still racist. Not a single Republican from a Southern state voted for the Civil Rights Act.
Only 8 out of 118 Southerners in the House & Senate voted for the Civil Rights Act -- ALL 8 were Democrats.
The racist South, which had five states swing Republican in 1964, became a stronghold of the Republican party by the 1990s.
The facts don't lie.
