More false equivalence (aka bad analogies).

And what is false about it? Do you enjoy being preached at by Smug and arrogant Liberals telling you that you don't have the right sort of morality?

I don't know about you, but most people would grow to hate these people if they had to listen to their sneering for decades.

HandyDandy on DiogenesLamp's amusing and irrelevant post #518: "More false equivalence (aka bad analogies)."

And yet, this seems to me the very heart and soul of where DiogenesLamp is coming from.
He seems to have no real concern with actual facts or reasons of history, except as they may support his arguments.
His entire elaborate ruse is built to support the grand conclusion: that 1860 Republicans were the same as today's Big City Democrats.

That's it.
That's what DiogenesLamp really, really cares about.
It's the single point he keeps driving home, every few posts, regardless of what any specific issue may be.

And of course, like everything else, it's total rubbish.
Republicans in 1860 were the same people we are today, and so are, for the most part, Democrats:

• Republicans then & now represent rural, small town and suburban Americans.
  
• Democrats then & now represent big city immigrants allied in the past with Southern Slave Power Democrats.

DiogenesLamp wants to turn history on its head and make it look like Conservative Republicans were actually Liberal Democrats, and Southern Democrats were the real Republicans.

Like I said, total rubbish and nonsense.
