My apologies, however it is still true that the US has sponsored the organizations that gave birth to the current terrorist organizations when they where fighting the soviets.
Of course not, especially since both statements were untrue It was republicans who championed ending slavery, that you choose to ignore that fact, doesn't make it go away.
I never claimed otherwise. I said it was the south, nothing about either political party.
It was democrats who had slavery as part of their party's platform, that you ignore that, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I never claimed it didn't happen, I claimed that pretty much any organization with a long history has some nasty things in their past.
That Democrats have done more to hold back members of all minority groups, while at the same time pandering to them like brazen whores, is a fact, that, like the crash of the Hindenburg, is historical fact, and while you can ignore it, that doesn't change it.
Ok, one more time, I am not saying historically it isn't true, I;m not ignoring it as a piece of history. Historically the British ruled much of the world through imperial colonialism, that doesn't represent the current British system though. It's history, and things change.
To ask which party represents minority interests now, I don't think most people would answer republicans. But the republican party now, is quite different then the republican party of 50 years ago, just like the current democratic party is quite different then it was at different points in history.
I'm guessing here, but, there weren't anywhere NEAR 12 MILLION Americans living in Mexico... EVER.
Nope, of course that was also 270 years ago, so 12 million would have made up a significant chunk of either countries population. However they did have enough people to outnumber and take over a good chunk of Mexico. Something Mexican immigration has yet too pull off.
So, in your mind the current democratic tendency towards kooky conspiracy theories, dozens of indicted FOB's (Friends of Bill) etc, is a good thing?
Please read my post, I said very little about the democratic party. You are the one that insists on polarizing the issue, not me. But if you want we could talk about friends of the Bush's as well, presidents aiding their buddies is not restricted to either US political parties, or really political parties in general.
Were Impeached in 1868 and 1998?
I'm sorry, you are putting Bill Clinton keeping a intern under his desk up as a major issue? With all the sex scandals that have hit the republican party in the last little while as well? Or with Bush / Cheney facing possibly facing impeachment for starting a illegal war, amongst other things that really amount to war crimes? And it's a hummer that is the real issue at stake?
I have to say I am impressed at how well you are able to completely demonize a single party and polarize the issue. Both parties are corrupt in many ways, both have bad history, both have had many scandals. It's just the nature of politics it seems.
At the end of the day both US parties seem pretty much the same, with a few differences in policy on some issues. Why not discuss those issues? it will be more interesting then your own little smear campaign against the party you don't like.
Oh, too young to remember the term, ehh? :yoda:
