Democratic versus Republican

Right versus Left
Conservative versus Liberal

The Democratic party has most historically favored liberal positions. Adamant ambassadors for blue-coller, laborers, labor unions, and religious and ethnic minorities! Democrats have opposed unregulated business and finance, and favored progressive income taxes. Views on foreign policy has been advocacy of cooperation and understanding between nations. Beginning in the 1930s, the Democrats began favoring spending programs targeted at the poor like welfare.

The Republican party founded by anti-slavery activists favor tradition, limited government, free market, and family values! Republicans believe the private sector is more effective in helping the less-fortunate than government. The Republicans supports giving government grants to faith-based and other private charitable organizations to supplant welfare spending.

Historically the Republican party had been supporters of rights for African Americans! The REPUBLICAN Party abolished slavery under Abraham Lincoln, defeated the Slave Power, and gave Blacks the vote during Reconstruction (let's face it...Lincoln really just wanted to win the war). Meanwhile; Democrats shunned the Emancipation Proclamation and fought for a state's right to legal slavery!
During the New Deal which offered greater employment opportunities and stronger support of civil rights under the Democratic campaign (clearly to win over the Black vote), did race play a large factor in the split of the Democratic and Republican parties!

I write all this to say:
Please stop spewing ignorance! It is a persons right, choice, priveledge, or prerogative to stand under the banner of either political party! Your stance is NOT about race (clearly) but on views for you, your voice, your family, the future of your family, and the future of the country! Educate yourself on the current candidates views and plans and make an informed decision based on your own personal needs and leave others to their opinion! Stop alienating or berating someone for having a different choice than your own!

Here's to a happy, peaceful life that you need to LIVE!
