Why did conservatives trip over themselves answering my first Republican / state rights question...?

Question

but avoid the second one like the plague?

Is it because on the first one they were proud to call themselves "state-rights" Republicans, but the second one reminded everybody that previously it was the racist conservative Southern Dixiecrat Party who were for "state-rights"?

The northeastern RADICAL / PROGRESSIVE / LIBERAL Republican Party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Nelson Rockefeller, on the other hand, used the power of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to free the slaves, protect the environment, break up monopolies, regulate big business, help the American worker, and give equal rights to minorities.

It kind of blows their "we're still the Party of Lincoln eventhough we fly the confederate flag and most of our leadership comes from the South" idea out of the water doesn't it?

Is the Republican Party for state-rights or centralized federal power?

I live,

Nelson Rockefeller was a liberal Republican from New York.

southernly,

You did not answer the 2nd question because you know it makes cons look bad. I purposely thought of asking these two questions one after the other.

I wanted cons to admit they were state-rights which they promptly did and then ask them how can they be for state rights and claim to be the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and Nelson Rockefeller when obviously these guys were not.

Answer 1

Answer 3

The republican party is quickly becoming obsolete. I mean, they filibuster an amendment that would give the troops more rest??!! Really? You really want to do that?

Pubes say that they want less government control and more local control but they are more backwards than the democrats of the 1980's and quite honestly, I'd love to see the Republican party go away.

Bunch of ignorant, racist, redneck chickenhawks.

Answer 4

The Republicans are for big business. The GOP was formed by big business to rally against a growing working class making demands. They still have a superior attitude and look at workers as a necessary evil.

Answer 5

"rockefeller" and "helping people" don't belong together in the same sentence, the same way "bush" and "intelligence" don't go together in a sentence.

THEY ARE ALL FOR CENTRALIZED POWER. THEY WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. They are control freaks. both of the parties, its like they are subsidaries of the same corporation (and they probably are).

Answer 6

Only Gods view is important. And currently that view is only modeled in conservatism.

Answer 7

i am not interested in how others might have answered your questions, but if you are for taking the power and personal responsibility away from the feds and giving it back to the individual, welcome to the republican party.

Answer 8

beats me I never saw either question. But I could answer them. I know you love it when I do.
