No one here is part of the democrat party. Stop that foolishness.
One thing is absolute fact. The Dixiecrats (Southern democrats) jumped to the Republican Party in the 60s and 70s, not the big government democrat party. The primary reason was democrats shoving affirmative action and school busing down the their throats and also the democrats hitching up with the bra burning women feminist movement/pro abortion crowd. That is why the Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats if you will) joined the Republicans.
