Well that has changed drastically since. Its a bit weird though, seeing the republicans do that.

Not if you know history, for most of the time it's been repubilcans that have been more progressive, you read some old Lincoln Quotes he sounds like a communist.

That is nice. It was a different time. But it had its sinister sides as well.

Yeah you read something like this by him: "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

But then you read something like this: "I am not, nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races."

You think so? Actually I find it very Republican.
Don't forget that the original idea was to refinance social security in a fund and to be on their side not everybody has to be as friendly with the unions as the Kennedy Kids seem to have been.

Compared to the tea party and birchers everyone sounds like a communist, even George Washington.

Absoluetly, history is not clear cut and straight forward unfortunately, the world isn't made up of Saints and Deamons, it's made up of individuals with Saints and Deamons within them.

You're never getting it back, not as long as corporations are lining the party's pockets.

Really? I'm confused since they were rampant individualists in the 1920's and 30's so seeing them support collectivised labour is very confusing to me.
So what you are saying is that the republicans wanted to change social security into a fund that would be more republican leaning.
Problem is that the poster brags about "increased Union membership"

I was just kidding.
