Isn't it ironic?

How stupid is it to close Guantanamo Bay? Obama will do a whole lot of back-pedaling.

"We ain't rich yet, but we will be because of Barack Obama!"



Saw a little bit of the Image Awards. Many liberals in the crowd. Interesting how they celebrated Lincoln who was Republican and was not very well-liked during his administration, by both North and South. Lincoln helped to create the Republican party which was based on an abolitionist platform. He also helped to bring about legislation that eventually freed the slaves. Most black people now are Democrats who honor Lincoln and yet don't realize their roots of freedom in the Republican party. All they saw were Democrats John F. Kennedy, who asked for Civil Rights legislation, and Lyndon Johnson, who signed the Civil Rights Act to law in 1964. The public school system does not teach that Republicans made the necessary decisions that led up to the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the first in 1875 with Senators Charles Sumner and Benjamin Butler, then in the 1950s and '60s, led by Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen.  The Republicans and Democrats worked together to bring about this much needed legislation, but eventually, the Democrats were given credit for the work simply because it ended up on their desks!

I'm not a big fan of either party, but the Republicans are the closest to representing my views. Or at least they were, somehow they lost a big chunk of their spine and core during the Bush years.  The Republicans better start representing the conservatives again and truly bring back the "Party of Lincoln," instead of just going along with the popular trend or what can bring in the most votes.
