This has nothing to do with the argument; it is nothing more than what a child does when he wants to quarrel.
Be that as it may, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a troll in defense of the Democrat Party and all that it stands for. But the rest of your post does beg the question; by singularly bringing up the imperfections of the Republican Party's history, are you defending the Democrat Party?
Good to see that you aren’t disputing the early influence of European radicals and socialists in the founding of the Republican Party. There is a history prof who is a favorite of Glenn Beck who asserts that the American South was influenced by Marx, when in fact Marx and his fellow ‘48ers were ardent supporters of Lincoln. Granted that their heirs changed parties over time.

You cannot imagine my relief at learning that. Is that the same Democratic Party that Ronald Reagan belonged to as a young man? I thought so.

No. FR is a conservative forum, not a Republican Party echo chamber. You may be disappointed if you expect to find fealty to the party of Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and other such luminaries that the GOP thinks ought to be President.
