anyone who thinks groups have rights or advocates conflict between different classes of individuals { rich, poor, black, gay, heterosexual},
So how do they fight for rights that are available to all but them without conflict? So they don't get called bigots, that is.
at the individual level where all are created equal, their group affiliation is inconsequential to the fact that all rights derive from the individual only

If the Founding Fathers weren't perfect, then the Constitution may also not be perfect. So we need to whitewash the Founding Fathers so the Constitution can be a perfect document.

that's what article 5 is for, modern progressives choose to break the law instead of changing it. Progressives back in the day had more respect for the Constitution the rule of law than these modern wanna-bes do now

Someone needs to pay closer attention in history class...
The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white, according to a new television program and book, which describe how the Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats.
An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964.
The documentation has been assembled by David Barton of Wallbuilders and published in his book "Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White," which reveals that not only did the Democrats work hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for generations, they started the KKK and endorsed its mayhem.
"Of all forms of violent intimidation, lynchings were by far the most effective," Barton said in his book. "Republicans often led the efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws and their platforms consistently called for a ban on lynching. Democrats successfully blocked those bills and their platforms never did condemn lynchings."
Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism, he said.
"Although it is relatively unreported today, historical documents are unequivocal that the Klan was established by Democrats and that the Klan played a prominent role in the Democratic Party," Barton writes in his book. "In fact, a 13-volume set of congressional investigations from 1872 conclusively and irrefutably documents that fact.
"The Klan terrorized black Americans through murders and public floggings; relief was granted only if individuals promised not to vote for Republican tickets, and violation of this oath was punishable by death," he said. "Since the Klan targeted Republicans in general, it did not limit its violence simply to black Republicans; white Republicans were also included."
Silly Liberals... Yep, this certainly proves that 'historically' the Conservatives/Republicans were the racists...

There is no denying that the Democratic Party, in the South, was the home to racists and Jim Crow. Right up until LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act and almost all those Democrats became Republicans.

Allright Cedricke, I'll bite - what defines liberal and conservative? Is it a set of values or is it a party label?
For example, if I told you that there was a party that believed
Quote: The party favored states' rights and strict adherence to the Constitution; it opposed a national bank
Would you say that was a conservative or liberal party?

Good luck with that, history says you're wrong. Common interest grouping has always had more success against oppression.

another interesting bit of history- woodrow wilson, a early progressive, REsegregated the military, and fired all but one black from federal employment after he was elected. he was also a big fan of the movie "birth of a nation" witch was based on the book titled "the clansman", and was a big fan of the KKK.
