First, call a radical a radical. Mr. Bush's agenda is neither compassionate nor conservative; it's radical and it's dangerous,...[to Democrats.]

Back To Basics for the Republican Party, by Michael Zak:

How many Americans know why the Republican Party began
or what its original purpose was? Not many!  How many
Americans know, for example, that the 1964 Civil Rights
Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act were reforms that the
Republican Party struggled for in vain during the
Reconstruction era a hundred years earlier? Fewer still.
The 13th amendment banning slavery, the 14th amendment 
extending the Bill of Rights to the states, and the 15th
amendment according voting rights to blacks - all three
were enacted by the much-maligned Radical Republicans in
the face of fierce Democrat opposition.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!
