The war waged by Confederate democrats

Strike 1 - They walked away/seceded due to the same major differences that were present at the signing of the Constitution when the experiment was taken to see if a federal republic between such different states could survive. When the North decided it was their right/duty/whatever to attack the South and "set things straight" so to speak, that Constitutional agreement was officially flipped on its head.

For the Confederate democrats and still today the Progressive democrats the concept that the Constitution could mean whatever it is that they want it to say persists. There was never any natural right to unilateral secession

Strike 2 - There is NO similarity between the Jeffersonian/Jackson/Calhoun Democrats and the Wilson/FDR/LBJ/Obama Democrats. One group took the Constitution literally since they knew history's lesson echoed by the founders that laws based on the cumulative experience of man shouldn't be changed for the persuasions of the day. If the changes should happen, let them happen deliberately with intelligent debate and thought. Today's "pass the bill to find out what's in it" Democrats do not echo that belief.

And secession was addressed by multiple presidents (like Jefferson's inauguration speech) as being as completely voluntary as the decision for accession. It wasn't a contract that forced any state into servitude - it was a experiment in cooperation/federation.

Seperation of Church and State was started by Progreesive democrats aligned with Confederate demorats and their love of the KKK.

Strike 3 - The violent wave of the KKK was founded to attack R's, but they were also anti-Catholic Protestants, not separation of church and state types.

And for the record, I've been independent my whole life until after the '08 election when I registered R. If I thought they were the "party of Lincoln" still I'd jump ship in a heartbeat (as I likely will if they don't show some backbone in the next couple years).

There is a well laid out lineage of the democrat party from the Confederate democrats up unto their second rise to power as the Confederate democrats.

Woodrow Wilson was the first Southern (Confederate) democrat to gain the Presidency after the Civil War and he was aligned with the Confederate lineage, the Confederate terorrist cult (the KKK), and was also the Grandfather of the democrat war against our Constitution called the Progressive movement.

It is obvious as to the lineage of the Confederacy unto the Progressive movement and their continual war against the Union and the United States Constitution.
