Grand Old Party's grand old contributions to freedom

I had to sit and do some reading after what went down earlier in this thread. I am man enough to set my ego aside and say that despite what the thread theme suggests, the GOP in it's first incarnation was a force that contributed to freedom in a huge way particularly for African Americans who at the time were enslaved. This old GOP is not the Neoconservative GOP we have today. The GOP we have today is just as much guilty of turning the US into a nanny-state as the other party.

Defeat the GOP because it is not really the Grand Old Party. Proof of this lies in the fact that they ignore Rawn Pawl. The drug war belongs to the GOP right along with the global war on terror. A century and a half ago, the GOP was not what it is today.

Get over yourself and republican blame. For once you have your president who acts in his own best interests. For the first two years he had a democrat house and senate who also didn't let him do his job either, playing golf.

I sure wish the GOP would let the president do his work.

GOP has submitted 30 jobs bills and a budget to the senate where King Harry Reid is sitting on them.

I wish you would get a clue what is really going on and stop with the partisan bullshit.

I would stop with the partisan bullshit if the GOP would stop nominating the worst...nevermind.

Were you going to name some great contribution to history by the GOP?

I actually had a pet newt at one time, it was a fire belly newt, it died in the fridge somehow. If it worked on one Newt...

A quote by Desert Dude from another thread.

There is a reason that the word "racist" has become a joke amongst America's yutes, and clear thinking people everywhere. It is the standard fall back word used by liberals to end an argument going badly from their perspective.

I try to avoid racial arguments because I have never once seen any of them convince any person of anything, but I have seen violence erupt. You can say anything you want, but I am certain that you formed this attitude based on this thread, and you are incorrect to see it this way, I simply wanted to avoid racial discussion altogether. After that, I didn't log on to this site for a couple days but I came back and noticed that discussion had devolved to racism across the forum on most of the top threads, but I didn't post on them. Tonight, I saw a thread acusing Ron Paul of being racist and seized on it for trolling but the truth is, I'm fucking sick of hearing about how Obama only won because he is black. I'm actually being goaded into a racial debate here. I honestly would rather give the perception that you win so I don't have to endure it but for you to come back afterward and distort it that way?

Thanks for acknowledging that I am right and that I did not bring it up. If you don't want a race conversation, then I suggest you don't turn it into a race conversation.

Of course, now that you mention it, both the emancipation proclamation and the civil rights act were aimed at first ending slavery, and then ensuring that blacks were treated fairly with respect to the law, hence they are both fundamentally about race. :-)

I told you you shouldn't bring it up.

You brought it up, and then you brought it up again on another thread. Yes, they are fundamentally about race, therefore you brought it up, therefore you were looking to goad me into a race debate hoping I would call you a racist because you like when liberals call you that. Of course now that I mention it...again...that is exactly what I meant.

Ancestors like the one who said, "Make the most of the Indian Hempseed, and sow it everywhere!"?

I have a couple problems with that picture.

1) A picture of Reagan with Arabs with turbins automatically get labeled terrorists???
2) Why is the word appeasing used? Founding fathers can be quoted saying that we need to be friends with our enemies (though they were not our enemies at the time).

The point is that maybe the circus shouldn't call Obama apologetic for engaging in diplomacy.
