He left the Republican Party and help form the Bull Moose Party. You're confusing modern liberalism with classic liberalism. They are polar opposites. The Republican Party you want to ignore is the one in which Harding was president. I thought the subject was conservatives? |

Like Bush has done anything great WRT terrorism. He went to war to fight it. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch! Does that make him responsible for it? How many terrorist attacks have there been on US soil since 9/11? Was Clinton responsible for the first terrorist attack on the WTC? There is no proof that 9/11 would have happened while Gore was president. None! Nope, there certainly isn't. Nor is there any proof that it wouldn't have happened while Gore was president. You "repsonsibility party" types ought to try it some time. We do. Always. |

"Eric Chomko" wrote in message ... : You're not oversimplifying, you're wrong. The Democrats were dominant in : the south. ...which was conservative. Yes, this was before modern liberalism existed. The Republicans, like Roosevelt, were the liberals. The term Dixiecrat, which indicated a transition of party, was reserved for the Democrats from the south that were still conservative after the party tended to go liberal. You're confusing modern liberalism with classic liberalism. They are polar opposites. |

They are a product of socialism. So if liberalism = socialism as you have defined it, then somewhere you are clearly lacking understanding.
