The official Oldiesfreak thread

[Gamecock]

Oldiesfreak,

It is perfectly acceptable to feel a sense of pride as a Republican that the GOP had a hand in freeing the slaves and being a participant in the struggle for civil rights. This is the same feeling that Democrats get when they feel pride in their party being the party of Social Security, the party that led the U.S. through World War II, etc. However it is not logical to base your vote and political beliefs off of events that took place one hundred and fifty years ago.

I also must say, that as a southerner, I am a bit disappointed that you hold Democrats feet to the fire for their bigotry a hundred years ago and yet you hold the same bigoted assumptions about the South today.
