     That is why this public school system, city and county is pitiful. It is bigotry as to why they don't teach the real history and civics here.<br>
<br>
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, OF TODAY, IS THE OLD REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ABE LINCOLN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE OLD PARTY OF THE BIGOTS OF THE PAST.<br>
<br>
Hey, white people, get you a real history/civics book and learn something.

I would like to see a potential business owner try to start one up without the government infrastructure and the government funded education that his workers would need  and the federal reserve system that control interest rates so that he can get the necessary loans to finance his plan?<br>
<br>
I wonder if Fred Smith would have started Fed Ex if the airport, air traffic controllers, ingress  and egress roads, etc were not already there?<br>
<br>
Please answer those questions for me?

You make a very broad statement.<br>
<br>
What I would respectively ask of you, is to list the way democrats have become liberal socialist. Also, list why the republican party is really difference, not just in rhetoric, but any actual practice.<br>
<br>
I am tired of people calling someone socialist, most don't know what it means.

      <![CDATA[What is the most important thing that the WSJ story on this subject ignored completely is that Rep. Cohen is truly a white blackbird, a unique ornithological creature. Does the national press understand that TN-9's Democratic primary, in which 75% of the voters are black, just returned a white incumbent (and yes, even a Jewish one!)

      <![CDATA[From this article:<br>
"Democrats blame Republican leaders for redistricting actions that Democrats say are concentrating black voters in a smaller number of districts." <br>
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Republicans have to win control of the legislature BEFORE they could engage in these "redistricting actions"?
