Lincoln would fit right in with the MODERN Democrat Party. I bet your also one of the RINOs today who keeps feeding us the bullshit of how we have to keep “working within the system” too.
Just when did the EVIL Republican party become good and the GOOD Democrat party become evil? 1932? 1964? Boy, I bet William McKinley and Calvin Coolidge were hell to live through, weren't they?
Considering that my ancestors were Southerners who fought for the Union and have voted Republican since that time, I can hardly be called a "RINO," can I? Maybe you Dixiecrats are the RINOS.
Are you even aware that George Washington was a FEDERALIST who agreed with Alexander Hamilton about federal supremacy, implied powers, and a whole host of issues that the miserable little G-dless Jacobin Thomas Jefferson didn't like? Did you know that GEORGE WASHINGTON signed the eeeeeeeee-vil NATIONAL BANK into law?
Did you know that your palaeocon hero Pat Buchanan in his book The Great Betrayal says that Washington said that if the North and South ever split he'd side with the North?
Sheesh. Some people know nothing about American history.
