I have heard quite a bit of news about how liberal American democrats are, and what a huge threat they pose to the welfare of the country, should they retain power. What exactly does the democratic agenda contain that is so threatening to republicans? Also, from an international point of view, it seems as though the democratic party is more in line with the issues of minorities in the U.S., and for whatever reasons, they (democrats) seem to be much more likely to receive suport of minorities in America. Are there also republicans who are minorities and who command significant respect in the republican party? Why do so many minorities consider the republican party to be racist? Wasn't the republican party responsible for the abolition of slavery? Sorry if my facts are a bit out of whack- we learned some things about American history in school, but that has been a long time ago, and the things I ask now are not commonly discussed on shows that I can receive here in Europe.
