I guess the liberals have decided we dont need no fuken democratic congress as long as we elect Bernie as president. He can just bypass the republican congress and rule by proclamation. Guess thats why this site has gone dormant.

Jefferson was a Democrat. You stumblebums can't even do a snotty political graphic without screwing it up.

Your party is doomed.

No, he wasn't
Quote:
The Democratic-Republican Party was the American political party in the 1790s of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formed in opposition to the centralizing policies of the Federalist party. It came to power in 1800, and dominated national and state affairs until the 1820s, when it faded away.

The term "Democratic-Republican" is used especially by modern political scientists for the first "Republican Party" (as it called itself at the time), also known as the Jeffersonian Republicans. Historians typically use the title "Republican Party". The party adopted the label Democratic-Republican in 1798.[2] It was the second political party in the United States,

@taba,
Yes, he was.

The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828, making it the world's oldest active party.

@Blickers,
I guess you didn't notice that Jefferson opposed "centralizing policies of the federalist party." I italicized for you.

The original big government guys. Those are Democrats today. Jefferson opposed them.

From PBS

Quote:
Known informally as the Jeffersonian Republicans, this group of politicians organized in opposition to the policies of Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton, who favored a strong central government.

Led by Thomas Jefferson, whom they helped elect to the presidency for two terms (1801-1809), the Republicans believed in individual freedoms and the rights of states. They feared that the concentration of federal power under George Washington and John Adams represented a dangerous threat to liberty. In foreign policy, the Republicans favored France, which had supported the Colonies during the Revolution, over Great Britain.


Tell us what Democrats have done for states rights? Obamacare? Same sex marriage?

@taba,
But then, it was the Republicans who went against those states who felt they had the right to secede, not that there was anything wrong with the Republicans opposing that. And it was the Republicans who favored keeping troops in the Southern states for quite a few years after the The Civil War was over. Fact is, over the course of nearly two centuries, it is not surprising that the parties switch back and forth on states rights, centralization of power, etc. However, that party that Jefferson started, regardless of their positions of states rights, etc, was the entity that became the Democratic Party.

Not to mention that it is hard to imagine Jefferson being OK with laws that said a woman had to have an ultrasound thing shoved up her birth canal before getting a legal procedure. That's a massive invasion of privacy.

Obama can hold a radical executive order up and threaten to implement it if the congress does not approve his supreme court nomination.

How would he feel about conservative voices silenced on our college campuses?

You see, he also championed free speech. I don't see Democrats doing anything but suppressing it. An example would be the recent resolution from Democrats to condemn critics of Islam.

Do you like to be intimidated? You shouldn't wish it on others. Blackmail is not how to run a government.

I don't know that conservative voices are being suppressed on college campuses. Regardless, the fact remains, Jefferson started the forerunner of today's Democratic Party. So your political graphic is wrong.

Not to mention, though a Republican, Teddy Roosevelt would be considered an "environmentalist wacko" by today's Republicans.

Like threatening to shut down the government on a regular basis like the Republicans do?

Actually, the Democrats are the party that is on the verge of spending the next 20 years out of power. The 2013 gun control debacle practically guarantees it.

After the election, the nominee will be picked by President Trump.

Law and order still exists in America. If Mr. Obama exceeds his authority, the courts will strike down his order.

Then you, clearly, completely ignore the other side of the story. That makes you uninformed. And very narrow minded. Most likely by choice.

And my links show Jefferson belonged to a party that opposed everything todays Democrats want. The graphic is correct.

And the cow is the forerunner for ice cream.

And Teddy Roosevelt would have turned the Middle East into a piece of glass. ISIS would not have happened.
