Do today's conservatives even realize that they are actually old Southern Democrats?

Question

Do they just hate the name Democrat so much that they had to steal "conservative" so they could call themselves Republicans? And if today's so called "conservatives" really want a new & orginal name to call themselves it should really be "Theocons" because they are half theocrats & half neocons.

So all you "conservatives" out there. Show some sack & find an orginal name. (BTW: kkk is already taken).

Answer 1

I don't mind the name as long as the beliefs are the same, honey. Besides the only party of today that uses labels (names) is the democrats, they use progressives now.

$2 BILLION A DAY: Where's It Going?
http://www.lrpworldnews.com/news/index.php?option=news&task=viewarticle&sid=109

Two thousand million a day, that's the minimum the Bush administration is borrowing every day, weekends and holidays included. In the month of July, 2003, the national debt increased $81 billion. That's an average of $2.6 billion a day (TWENTY SIX HUNDRED MILLION PER DAY), all on the tab for you and your grandchildren to pay back some day.

Three point eight percent (roughly 4 percent) of the money borrowed in just one day would have saved the AmeriCorps organization of volunteer teachers and college graduates mentoring our poorly educated public school students who cannot read or write. But Congress left on its month long summer vacation without approving an emergency $100 million it would have taken to save 50 percent of these volunteers. And the school year will be underway before Congress goes back to playing their games at our expense.

George W. Bush talks a great story, but there's little substance in the follow up. It's almost as though the man from Waco believes that if he makes speeches about what he intends to do, that's enough. There's no need to really do it if Americans believe and give him credit for what he intended.

It isn't just education this republican administration has cut, it's everything but defense. And there is no reason for it. At least there doesn't seem to be a reason other than to reduce the American standard of living to that of a third world country in order to level the playing field for the New World Order.

Answer 3

No, I think not. Democrats were called Copper Heads during the Civil War as they tried to defeat Lincoln in the 1864 election.
Robert Byrd D-WV was a member of the KKK and actually served there as Grand Kleagle or some such nonsense. Have you read some of the things he said about black people? And he is still at it. Did you read what he said about the black Atlanta Football player recently?

Answer 4

No they do not realize this. I recall pointing out to them that the parties switched platforms over 100 years ago and these ignorant souls sent me so much hate mail. Something that is easily verifiable through a quick internet search or cracking open a history book they still deny.

Answer 5

i think of you're purely partly appropriate. And, right this moment's DNC is extra racist than is the GOP. They (the DNC) promotes all black universities. How racist is that? The DNC of previous, became all approximately ceding from the union and became very lots professional-slavery. to a point, they nevertheless are all approximately slavery, purely now, it particularly is contained in this style of social courses inclusive of welfare. The GOP (Lincoln) became serious with regard to the abolition of slavery and became very lots a God fearing Christian. And, in case you think of right this moment's GOP is all approximately vast government, then what do you call the DNC and their pushing courses like prevalent Healthcare? If it particularly isn't any longer vast government, then, I don;t comprehend what's! humorous, the DNC genuinely hated Lincoln. Now, they declare they have continually enjoyed him. They enjoyed Ike. He became a Mennonite! are you able to assert "stable Christian - suited?" Now are you able to assert "hypocrite?"

Answer 6

I do. you are actually very correct. when I was very young it was still that way in Texas, but not nationally. Johnson had already begun the swing away from con dems to con repubs. but as I read your description you go astray some how. It's more a situation where the politicians who have taken office have more control than the parties.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Ok, when that whole switch happened, I wasn't very old. When I became a conservative, I did it honestly--because I believed in a philosophy of personal responsibility and freedom. BTW, don't lump all conservatives into a racist category, stereotyping like that is just as discriminatory.

Answer 10

The Democrats took a wrong turn many years ago and left out their conservative base. Many such as Reagan and Thurman jumped to the Republican party. They were forced to switch parties to remain true to their beliefs. The Democrats went wacko left.
