You did nothing of the sort. I see a rant with a lot of name-calling and very few facts.

So I repeat my question: what the the 19th century Democratic party, which represented an ideology of limited government and state's rights have in common with the Democratic party of the later part of the 20th century and today (i.e. the party of centralized government and the welfare state)? What do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have in common with Thomas Jefferson or Grover Cleveland?

The answer, of course, is that they have nothing in common, so your trying to retroject the liberalism and welfare state socialism of today's Democrats onto those of the Confederacy is either born of extreme ignorance, extreme dishonesty, or both.
