Excuse my interruption but you are crediting Republicans with actions and attitudes committed by Democrats - not that it matter a whit to Progressive convoluted thinking. Now drop your load, do your little dance, sing your little song and retell the lie that the KKK, lynchings, Jim Crow etc., were not acts of the Democratic Party, neither was their opposition to Civil Rights Legislation that only passed because of Republican support.
You seem to have missed the part where Pennylynn was attacking Lincoln, a Republican. Was she attacking a fellow conservative or would Lincoln be considered a progressive of the day? Yes, the Democratic party was guilty of all you say but it was founded by Southern Conservatives and it was over time that the Republican and Democratic party traded ideological places. Haven't you ever heard of Blue Dog democrats? Well, they were the remainder of Southern Conservatives, the majority of whom, have now either died or migrated to the Republican party.
