How do you change history? - brtmchl - 11-20-2013 05:37 PM
If you say it enough does it become truth? Lincoln apparently wasn't Republican he was a Democrat.
But then again Democrats have always claimed Jefferson. Wasn't he a "Democratic-Republican", which actually consisted of two factions Democrates and Whigs, both of which he claimed were too authoritarian and partisan. He actually was a liberal, which in this day would translate to libertarian. But to try and claim Lincoln a Democrat?
