The war waged by Confederate democrats was absolutely meant to enshrine a right to enslave and disregard the rights to representation by ALL United States citizens equally.

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 nor is their a right to privacy as defined by democrats or a right to suppress religious expression or to murder, etc,,,,,,,,

All of these twisted views of our Constitution persist due to democrats. The Confederacy started most of the democrat parties perverted views on liberty and our Constitution.

Seperation of Church and State was started by Progreesive democrats aligned with Confederate demorats and their love of the KKK. Republicans had invited balck Americans to religious ceremonines at the Capitol and Confederate democrats started boy-cotting the ceremonies and complaining.

Abortion, the unholy allliance with populism and Unions, the attack on the Constitution and the attack on Traditional Values ALL started with the Confederate democrats and then was championed later by the Southern Progressive democrats.

The Confederate democrats were enemies of our Constitution then and so are the Progressive democrats today.

Nothing has changed.

It is so amusing to see Lost Causers argue to defend their side’s position on continuing slavery for economic and social reasons as a so-called state right.

It is no different today. Progressive democrats make distorted economic arguments for continuing their bigoted policies that segregate groups of the population in to different segments for them to control and manage.

The Progressive democrats of today are the successors of the Confederate democrats of old.

Only in your fascists mind. Nothing but hatespeech and Northern revisionism. You sound psychotic, you need help. WTBS threads really bring out the kooks.

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).
