Demoncrats WERE the party of slavery.
things change, the one constant is the ones in power (not just politically) ARE the party of slavery of one type or another.
the former slave owning areas of the USA are now red states.
They still are the party of slavery. Conservatives believe in personal responsibility and freedom of the individual to pursue their dreams. Liberals want to keep "helping" the poor and downtridden by continually handing out entitlements and makes them slaves to the system until it becomes a generational thing. Much like a drug dealer and drug addict feeding their habit. As long as you have them hooked, you have power over them and can count on their votes to keep you in power. Doubt me?
We've had the liberal war on poverty for 50 years and the poor still seem to be with us.[/QUOTE]
Oh, you forgot the fact that the working class has seen no growth in their wages (in Real Dollars) for four decades. What that causes, is the working class to stay in the 80's economically, eventually poverty catches up with them.
But I know that's fine, you are independently wealthy and the trend towards plutocracy is your cup of tea. Let them eat cake!
