Ah, the old guilt by association logical fallacy. origin415: "stevelovejoy, over the years since Abe's time, the republican and dems switched, in his time republicans were liberal, dems conservative." That's not an entirely accurate way of putting it. The Republicans were federalists and Democrats were about state's rights. Sometime after Lincoln they switched, with Republicans favoring small government and Democrats big government. Party alignment didn't have anything to do with "liberal" and "conservative" until this past century. It's also inaccurate to say to both parties are conservative now - both are quite liberal socially and fiscally. There is a slight trend towards social conservatism in both parties (Republicans are mostly socially conservative but there is a trend to become even more conservative) now but that's just because an election is coming up.

"The democrats are the party of slavery," Correct. "and the Republicans were formed because they were against slavery" Very incorrect.

Not neccessarily saying that present day republicans would vote for slavery. More that had the republicans of today (taking into consideration that the abolitionists and anti slavers of then were republicans, but then also the switch in political parties since then) been around, they would have been many of the people who voted to keep slavery during the antebellum period. It's not insulting, it's just regional politics.

Florida really voted for kerry - so did Ohio and probably a few more. This is a double fallacy - working with falsified election "results"and inaccurate historical data

This is not historically accurate. This page is a convenient and socially hysterical re-write of history. A significant part of Southern California was sympathetic to the Confederacy. The association of then and now as somehow meaningful is just more irrational left-wing Bush hatred. There's a TV program for these folks now where the children have better answers than the adults.
