But no according to Dinesh DSouza and National Review and most Freepers

Republicans are always perfect since 1860

Democrats always evil.....Jefferson and Jackson included I guess

I commend your grasp of context

A rare quality here

Happy Thanksgiving

There was no Freedom Caucus in the 50s and 60s

Dems and GOP were far more similar

Who would average freeper if informed prefer

Jacob Javits or John Stennis?

Happy Thanksgiving Bill

Jefferson was never in a party called the Democratic Party. His party was called the Republican Party, FTR.

Jackson was the de facto founder of the Democratic Party, which split from those original Republicans under the name “Jacksonians” at first.

“There was no Freedom Caucus in the 50s and 60s”

No but there was the “conservative coalition” in Congress that existed from the 1930s to the mid 1960s. An unofficial caucus of Republicans and Democrats that worked together to limit the power of the liberal wings of both parties.

Oh and Berry Goldwater (REPUBLICAN) was opposed to the civil rights act.

JFK was no Conservative, but he was smart enough to praise John C. Calhoun as one of the five historic Senators in his Profiles In Courage. But his policies were the ones that LBJ later forced through--the exact opposite of all that Calhoun stood for.

He also allowed his brother the use of the equivalent of a division & a half--23,600 Federal troops to occupy Oxford, Mississippi in 1962--that was 3 troops for every man, women & child in the combined College & town population--an outrage against the basic spirit of Federalism, in support of the over-reaching Warren Court. It was also the exact opposite of what Bobby had promised the South in the 1960 campaign.
