"I was a life-long Democrat only because the choices were limited. The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th Century except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal (and unconstitutional) income taxes, Japanese Concentration Camps and, not one, but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan were brought to us via the Democrats.
Don’t tell me the Democrats are our 'Saviors' because I am not buying it especially after they bought and purchased more caskets and more devastating pain when they financed and co-facilitated more of George’s abysmal occupation and they are allowing a melt down of our representative Republic by allowing the evils of the executive branch to continue unrestrained by their silent complicity."

fyi, that IS your REPUTATION on FR.
further, inasmuch as you obviously don't know anything FACTUAL about the democrat party of the 19th century and equally obviously zilch about the modern DIMocRATs party, your opinions are discounted to their true value = NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH.

Do you ever tire of babbling incoherently?
Pulling your chain allows this thread to be bumped constantly and almost endlessly.
Just another fine example of how much smarter I am than you.
The Vice President & 2nd-in-command of the Confederate government strongly disagreed with your anaylsis.
"The constitution, it is true, secured every essential guarantee to the institution while it should last, and hence no argument can be justly urged against the constitutional guarantees thus secured, because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew." Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth ... The process of disintegration in the old Union may be expected to go on with almost absolute certainty if we pursue the right course. We are now the nucleus of a growing power which, if we are true to ourselves, our destiny, and high mission , will become the controlling power on this continent."
-- Alexander H. Stephens, Vice-President of the Confederate States of America, March 21, 1861, Savannah, Georgia
On another thread, you claimed all good patriotic southerns LOVE Copperhead Democrats. Cindy Sheehan is a copperhead advocates the EXACT same principles as all the confederate-sympathizing "peace" northern Democrats did in 1860.
"PEACE" DEMOCRATS 1860
They called themselves Peace Democrats; their opponents called them Copperheads because some wore copper pennies as identifying badges. A strong and active movement of peace Democrats asserted that the Republicans had provoked the South into secession; that the Republicans were waging the war in order to establish their own domination, suppress civil and states rights, and impose "racial equality"; and that military means had failed and would never restore the Union.Peace Democrats were most numerous in the upper north. These "Copperheads" nominally favored the Union but strongly opposed the war, for which they blamed abolitionists, and they demanded immediate peace and resisted draft laws. They wanted Lincoln and the Republicans ousted from power, seeing the president as a tyrant who was destroying American republican values with his despotic and arbitrary actions. Some Copperheads tried to persuade Union soldiers to desert. They talked of helping Confederate prisoners of war seize their camps and escape. They sometimes met with Confederate agents and took money. The Confederacy encouraged their activities whenever possible. Most Democratic party leaders, however, repelled Confederate advances.
"PEACE" DEMOCRATS 2007
They called themselves Peace Democrats; their opponents called them Mother Sheehan supporters because they rallied around her cause. A strong and active movement of peace Democrats asserted that the Republicans had provoked Iraq into war; that the Republicans were waging the war in order to establish their own domination, suppress civil and states rights, and impose "imperialism"; and that military means had failed and would never restore the Iraqi Union. Peace Democrats were most numerous in the upper north. These "Copperheads" nominally favored the Union but strongly opposed the war, for which they blamed "neocons", and they demanded immediate peace and resisted anti-terrorism laws. They wanted Bush and the Republicans ousted from power, seeing the president as a tyrant who was destroying American republican values with his despotic and arbitrary actions. Some Peace Democrats tried to persuade U.S. soldiers to desert Iraq. They talked of helping Gutanemo Bay prisoners of war leave their camps and escape. They sometimes met with Islamic agents and took money. The terrorists encouraged their activities whenever possible. Most Democratic party leaders, however, repelled Sheehan's advances
So make up your mind Stand Waite, do you like Northern "Peace" Democrats or not?
>> otoh, she is TYPICAL of the LEFTIST "useful idiots" of the DIMocRAT party. <<
True, but you're much happier when the leftist useful idiots are running the south. Ah, George Wallace, Huey Long, THOSE were the good ol' days!
nonetheless, you (otoh)are WRONG to assume that he spoke for anyone but the "plantation aristocracy", i.e., 4-5% of the southern voters.
the FACT is that the mass of dixie's patriots cared NOTHING about either the elite's wants/desires/needs OR (sadly, i must tell you) about "the plight of the slaves".
the common folk ONLY wanted FREEDOM form a faraway government, which they believed (CORRECTLY) was the enemy of their GOD-given rights as citizens.
