Not really. but really REALLY nice try there!
Actually, if you knew anything about History, the "Suth'ren Dem'crats" were the ones that didn't want to abolish slavery. The Republicans were the party that abolished slavery.
Go look up your history books when you learn how to read.
Here, for your reading pleasure.....
The Senate Judiciary Committee, headed by Illinois Republican Lyman Trumbull, began considering the various versions of the abolition amendment. On February 8, Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, a leading Radical Republican, submitted a constitutional amendment to not only abolish slavery but also guarantee equality under the law.

First off...you're all only half-right about all of this stuff.
Lincoln was a Republican, but that was the 1860 Republican party. What the GOP was then and what it was in 1910 by the time of the Union Busting and Robber Barons was another thing. So don't give me that old song and dance crap about the Republicans freeing the slaves. That's like me trying to take credit for what my grandfather did in WW2.
Now...Republican Union Busters....there's a great cop-out line of BS. The Unions are the biggest bunch of crooks and political swindlers in the country...always have been...always will be. And they allign with the democrats at every turn.
Every union boss is taking money from some business leader. When all the textile plants, coal mines, and factories where I came from started closing down the shop stewards and union bosses all got taken care of by the company so as long as they didn't make a rukus. Every other dues paying, card carrying union man got absolutely JACK FREAKIN SQUAT!
Here Mr. Union Man...take my $20 a week out of my paycheck so I can work here and pray they don't close down! C'mon. You must have a Teamsters logo tattooed on your butt to buy into that crap. Take that $20 and put it into the campaign fund of a rich limo-liberal. Let's STEAL my money and put it into the war chest of a candidate I have NO desire to vote for. Oh...and that's not a tax deductible campaign donation either.
Damned right they should be broken up. The democrats aren't going to cut off their own milk-cow...so of course the Republicans are made out to look like they are screwing the little guy when they go after the unions.
Here's a Muppet News Flash......The Republicans and the Democrats are BOTH screwing the little guy!
No Child Left Behind and the NEA are both jokes. One is a Republican initiative another is a Democratic puppet...neither do anything to help kids in general.

I don't know where you get your info other than the 3 tv stations who are liberal and have you believing all kinds of lies. There is a sucker born every day! Go back to your history books and read that it was a "Republican" president, President Abraham Lincoln, who ended slavery, and now all you have been fooled and are voting for the very party who if they had a choice would still have slaves around. The Democrat party make it easy to get on welfare and such because they want to keep the little man down, but you all can't see the see the flowers for the weeds. So think long and hard before anyone gets out there and votes again. The Dem's are for the rich. The riches people in America are Democrats. Ex: Oprah Winfrey, John Edwards, John Kerry, Bill Gates, need I say more?!

Actually, Democrats have a lot more to do with slave owners than Republicans. It was the Democrats in the 1960's who were the staunchest opponents of the Civil Rights Movement. And it was Democrats in the 1860's who opposed Republican president Abraham Lincoln.
And today's Democrats, socialists effectively, want government to run everyone's life, like some giant plantation.

If you'd studied history, you'd know the majority of former slave owners were Democrats. One of the primary planks in the Republic Party platform of 1860 was abolish slavery.
It's a shame that your education also didn't include grammar.

Republicans freed the slaves. Why would you even vote Democrat as a black man? When was the last time a Democrat went into the inner city and tried to earn a black vote? Probably never because Democratic candidates just assume that they will get the black vote. How do democrats serve you?

ok, i've got been arguing against human beings doing this all day to liberals, i think this is time for me to declare this approximately Repubs. in basic terms by way of fact a central authority happens to assist those issues does not recommend the entire Republican celebration does. i'm bored with listening to it. extremely everyone seems to be generalizing once you're purely speaking some few human beings. previous that, evaluating them to slave masters is the worst thank you to make your self look competant. you extremely make a good factor once you demonize somebody, eh? Now that that's accomplished, i will argue against what you're asserting (oh, and that i'm a liberal, so it extremely is coming from the realm you think of you're on): Republicans do not decrease taxes to harm destructive faculties, they see it as a income to the human beings at super. Admittedly, i think of taxation would help those faculties so lots extra, yet you're making it sound malicious, that's ridiculous. No newborn Left in the back of is an act of Bush's, not of the Republicans. This proves my first factor. Republicans do not refuse wellness care, hospitals do. valuable, lots are controlled with the aid of Republicans, yet there is likewise a brilliant form of Democrats in cost (look it up). as nicely that, what regulation is inflicting this? None, the sole factor that's inflicting it extremely is the greed of the wellness care marketplace, which isn't affiliated with a celebration. As for outsourcing (yet another substantial Bush theory), this is supported with the aid of firms (lower back, not celebration affiliated) for the objective of extra income. i'd desire the roles indexed here are life sustainable, as mine is, yet a brilliant form of the roles are nonetheless here interior the U.S. i for my area choose you to take a glance decrease back at what you have in basic terms suggested. you have controlled to gasoline the fireplace that rages on the two sides. i've got long undergone comparisons of liberals to destructive issues interior the previous, and now you're in basic terms going to evaluate Republicans, who stay in a semi-loose u . s . a ., to slave vendors? extremely makes Dems look credible. this is a shame we can't have first rate conversations approximately regulations.

You talk about union busting. Do you know who financed communism and central economic planning which the democrats favour? Do you know the reasons for the origin of communism?
If you read some history, you would be surprised.

The communists running the labor movement still think Karl Marx's ideas are relevent in the 21st century. No wonder unions are dying.

And let's not forget the Industrial Revolution and the low wages and poor working conditions established by the Robber barons. The basis of modern business.
