"Jesus Would Not Approve Of Abortions" President Carter

NHL, it is not "much more complicated than that." I am simply debating like a liberal would debate. The Democrats were the party of the KKK and slavery and come hell or high water nothing will ever change that.

And today those areas vote Republican, because the parties swapped positions on the political spectrum, as has been explained.

My minor was in post reconstruction U.S. history. I know all about the "re-alignment of the parties" I am just making a point.

Your point is not clear. There are no parties who supposed slavery today, so there's no point arguing it. The liberals you have such distaste for, were historically the northern Republicans including Lincoln. Now the names are different. They could have called themselves the purple and the orange party and it would not change this basic cultural/regional reality of US history.

The Democrat party has simply shifted from physical ownership to economic / social ownership.

I don't know which form of bondage is worse.

Economic and social ownership can, and does, occur through corporate means as well, so what is your point?

One is market driven, the other is despotism.
