Again, you do not know one damned thing about the political history of this country. When the Civil Rights Bill passed and Blacks began to vote in the South, the racists, including the KKK, left the Democratic Party and migrated, first to George Wallace's American Independent Party and then to the Republican Party. yada....blah....etc...
And this is all referred to as revisionist history. The left loves to claim how the GOP supposedly absorbed the KKK, when that couldn't be further from the truth. The KKK was a violent racist organization, while the Republican party was founded on the abolition of Slavery. Democrats, in particular, Southern Democrats, were racist to the core, but the more the general public saw them for who they were, the more outrage was thrust upon them. They didn't leave the Democrat party, as much as they simply hid their racist positions. THERE WAS A GREATER % OF REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT, THAN DEMOCRATS. It defies logic and rational thought, to think the party that was founded on the abolition of Slavery, and got the Civil Rights act passed, would turn around and welcome members of the KKK. That's just idiocy, but its understandable. You folks have point to something as the boogieman, in order to stir fear and subsequently following.
Point being, the notion that the GOP is embracing some 88year old political mindset to try and counter the fact that the current Democrat nominees, could be anyone's grandparent, outside of O'Malley of course, can be easily countered by the FACTUAL political foundations of the Democrat party itself
Reagan's slogan for years was Government is not the answer to the problem; government IS the problem. He said this at every available opportunity.
Which has absolutely squat to do with which party the KKK was embraced by, but thank you for the reminder that bigger Government is the biggest problem facing this country
