That is about the most illogical statement I have seen in some time.
The Republican Party as well as the Democratic Party of today are vastly different in almost every respect from the Republican and Democratic parties of 150 years ago.
Hell they are vastly different from the parties that they where 50 years ago much less 150.
Man this whole revisionist history thing is very trendy it seems.It must have a lot to do with the general dissatisfaction that people of varying political views have.I guess it makes people fell better to create a subjective version of history that suits their ideals.
I am in no way denying that the idealized version of official history that most learn in school is the best.You can learn a more objective version even at a community college or by reading a few books and
thinking for yourself it is also useful to understand when an author has an agenda.That is why with any subject that I have an interest in I like to read about it from multiple sources.
You got double posted by the way.
Oh, I regret to inform everyone that Mackubin T. Owens is white.Or he has a very serious skin condition.
