Who was the First Republican?

[Brutus]

Actually, it was Thomas Jefferson who formed the Republican Party in 1794 to stand for freedom and liberty from government. Modern Republicans, especially Tea Party Republicans, stand for exactly the same thing.

Kevin Karl Kane was the first "conservative".

do you hate Jefferson and American principles?

Welcome Brutus. I see you have met Rdean. You'll have to excuse him. He's still upset that Bush killed the dinosaurs.

It porbably wouldn't have bothered him so much if he hadn't been there to witness it

Jefferson a conservative? Ah yes, now it can be said that we've heard it all.

Jefferson was somewhere between a whinging lefty and a leftwing radical for his time. Public schools anyone?

Haha, Longhorn. I do agree with you that OU sucks. However, Jefferson was for free-market capitalism, the most active president for states rights and perhaps had the greatest influence of individualism over collectivism of any president to date. Classical liberalism, although that term has little to do with progessives of today.....other than he was very much into the arts.

The Republican party's link to Jefferson is, at best, fallacy of equivocation.

You can go ahead and apply that theory to both carnival parties.

Not really. The Democratic party was created from portions of the old Democratic-Republican party. So they have a legitimate direct link to Jefferson's party.

Uh...sure.

 

[gekaap]

Uh...sure.

You disagree? Do you know who founded the Democratic party?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Uh...sure.

That would be Andrew Jackson. Mr. Trail of Tears himself.

 

[gekaap]

Actually, it would be Martin Van Buren. Jackson was the figure around whom he built the party. In either event, do you know to which party Van Buren and Jackson belonged before the Democratic party was built? That's right, the Democratic-Republican party.
