OK, first off, I gotta argue some of your points, because you're using wikipedia, and it's become a den of lies. Just consider the different interpretations of Black Power and White Power. That's as biased as you can get.
Good. Not sure how the republican party can SUDDENLY become the party of big power sometime between the 1860's and 1936 when the RNC was only formed in 1854. So they were one way for as little as 6 years before suddenly shifting.....or possibly 80 years later? Seems pretty weak to me.
So why is it that it wasn't until 1992 that the RNC had more seats in the south than the Dems?
Well settling the west and the transcontinental railroad seems like good things, don't you agree? While we can argue over the state university system (I prefer a private system myself), why are those continental expansionist policies a bad thing?
But the biggest thing I see is this:
That is the conservative stance that they've always believed in and something I've always supported. Individual freedoms. Something the Dems opposed all along the way.
