Lincoln was not a conservative. The Republican Party was in no way was considered conservation in 1860. You are a contrarian and an idiot.
I've read the 1860 Republican Platform, all 17 "planks" and can find there none which violate either the Constitution or Founders' Original Intentions.
But maybe I missed something that you can point out to me?

Republicans certainly considered themselves conservative and they thought Democrats radical, especially in working to expand slavery.
Democrats of course had a different view, but now I sometimes see whack-jobs like Nancy Pelosi quoting the Bible to make her political points.
So Democrats simply have no shame, never did.

I'm a conservative and at least as smart as you, so what are you?
