The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

The Republicans from the 1860s ould be Republicans today  and the Democrats from the old days 1860s would be Liberal Democrats today.

Absolutely they should be if they were around!  And they would be; they never "switched sides", the times (and the meanings of liberal and conservative)  just changed and made Republicans the conservatives and Democrats the liberals.

But it's true.

If you actually believe Strom Thurmond was to the left of Robert LaFollette, yes.

In the Oldiesfreak world Strom Thurmond was to the left of Robert LaFollette.

Until he had a change of heart and became a Republican because of the Democrats' opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

Yeah, but most segregationists never left the Democratic party.  A few became Republicans, but most did not.

And basically all of those are dead today. Or if not dead out of politics and with no influence whatsoever.

Lincoln is dead today as well, but does he seriously not make you more likely to support Republicans?

Paul Broun is alive today, but does he seriously not make you more likely NOT to support Republicans?
