I normally encounter the phrase "The Democrat party is the party of treason" in the context of secession prior to the civil war.

If you were not intending it as a reference to the civil war, then I apologize for assuming you were.

Heh, absolutely it was not in the context of the Civil War! I was referring to the FDR Administration up to today.

You know, one of the things I enjoy about Free Republic is having dialogue with people who are interested in discussing an issue. So many people (including many on this forum) seem to be incapable of discussing issues like adults.

I appreciate it when I see a post I don’t understand, and ask for clarification like a reasonable person would in NORMAL conversation, and get a reasonable response with a real clarification.

Civil discourse.

Too often when you ask for clarification in an online discussion, someone bites your head off or insults you as if you were children on a playground. “Get the s**t out of your ears” or worse. I always, try, sometimes unsuccessfully, to communicate with people online as if they were sitting next to me.

So...thank you.
