Following the events in Charlottesville last weekend, we are now engaged in a national orgy of banishing whatever can be identified as "symbols of oppression" from the past. Everywhere they exist, statues of Confederate figures are being removed from public spaces. In Congress, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for removal of a dozen or so statues of Confederate figures from the U.S. Capitol. (Funny, but there didn't seem to be any problem with them when she was Speaker not so long ago.) Here in New York, we don't have much in the way of symbols honoring Confederate figures, but somebody figured out that two streets in Brooklyn are named after Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, so they have to go. Governor Cuomo, feeling the politician's desperate need to jump on the bandwagon, has called for removal of a marker in Lower Manhattan noting that the City held a ticker tape parade in 1931 for French World War I military hero Henri Philippe Pétain. A decade later in the 1940s, Pétain collaborated with the Nazis, so he is also a symbol.....
While we are at this, why don't we do something about the biggest symbol of oppression of all? ... For a century and more, the Democratic Party stood for slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it proudly marketed itself as the "white man's party," contrasting itself with the Republican Party which it accused of seeking "negro supremacy." The Democratic Party resisted civil rights legislation well into my lifetime. Today, the Democratic Party claims to have put that legacy behind it, even as the jurisdictions where it has single-party control -- places like Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit -- are cesspools are poverty, violence and government dependency.

Good question. :D
No. It should be designated as a terrorist/racketeering group and dealt with accordingly.
When I talk to liberals about this they always seem to use the old “the old democRATs became the Republican party” argument. I ask them when did that happen, 2010? Because Robert KKK Byrd was president of the Senate.
Sure it should ... but the Left just looks at oppression as a necessary component to realize their drug-induced vision of Utopia.
Absolutely. Not only abolished, but prosecuted as an enemy of the People of the USA.
When are the morons at SPLC going to list the “democrats” as a domestic terrorist group? It’s way overdue. All “democrats” should be added to the “no fly” lists also.
It should be outlawed as it should have been in 1865.
Then it should be designated as a terrorist/racketeering group and dealt with accordingly.
To expound on a theme, the democrat party, once properly designated as above, should be the target of the largest criminal investigation in U.S. history. Round up their ringleaders and network mouthpieces, freeze their assets no matter how intricately hidden, seize their databases and cell phone records, and take the whole thing down like the monstrous criminal enterprise it is. The democrat party is the single greatest national security threat the U.S. faces, eclipsing all others. It is a cancer and needs to be excised completely.
