The smart ones know what conservatism stands for today and what it stood for in the past and just deal with it.
The dumb ones think it was pro-diversity liberals who were the slave owners and traditional conservatives who freed the slaves because they assume the Republican Party was always conservative and southern. They confuse party with ideology.
Let me ask you this: You guys claim to be for state rights but then proudly claim Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and the northeastern Republicans who voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act of 1964.
HOWEVER, these guys used the power of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to fix problems. How can you logically claim to be for state rights, but support radical, progressive, and liberal Republicans like Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Rockeller?
