In history, it was the Republican Party that was founded to end slavery, while the Democratic Party was founded to keep the issue from ever coming to public debate. However, in the dimension that our Fearless Leader resides in, Abraham Lincoln must’ve been a Democrat.
Mr. President: FREE SOIL, FREE LABOR, FREE LAND, FREE MEN. At the time that my party had that as their slogan, your party was singing a song called N*gger Doodle Dandy at their conventions. Would it hurt so much to admit the Republican’s role in history, or would that force you to admit what the Democrats have done?

Eugene “Bull” O’Connor was a staunch Democrat. He was one of the many faces of Southern prejudice. “Lincoln may have freed the slaves, but we ain’t gonna have no uppity ****** around here!”
For some odd reason, Democrats like to skip over that little bit of history.
I remember the Johnson years. His advisors tried to teach him how to say “negro”: “OK, Mr President, it goes like this – [hands on knees] “knee”, [raise hands above head] “grow”. OK, let’s try it again.”
