I'm aware of a tiny fringe group of loonies who hold that view, and the rest of us just shrug and press on. Even some of the guys I know who say things like "The South shall RISE AGAIN" only do it to get a reaction.

Michael Gerson:
Loyalty to Trump among Republicans is proved by the loosening of all other loyalties — to truth, to honesty and to the national good."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

Originally posted by JimL View PostIrrelevant, many in the South are still butt hurt for Lincolns leadership in crushing the Souths treasonous insurrection regardless of his post war policy. There are still a lot of John Wilkes Booth types in the South, the Klan, confederate flag wavers, racists, i.e. Lincoln haters, and though their ilk is waning they continue to make themselves known.
Mind you, you'll just embarrass yourself again, but if you actually believe that drivel, come down here and say it to our faces.
We probably won't laugh more than five minutes, honest. Well, the black folks might - that last bit was overly stupid. They wouldn't stay here if that garbage were true.
War ended 155 years ago. Jim Crow ended more than 60 years ago. But haters gotta hate, I suppose. Pity you haven't looked in a mirror to say that crap - maybe you'd realize your the one filled with hate."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by Ronson View PostThat would be amusing since Eisenhower was about as conservative as they come. Reagan, Nixon and the Bushes each expanded government more than Eisenhower. And it was Eisenhower who warned future generations about entrenched bureaucrats and getting involved in useless wars.
If any of those Republicans were RINOs it would be Nixon. He was a liberal by almost any standard.

Originally posted by JimL View PostEisenhower was a middle of the roader, a moderate, who in this modern day republican party would be considered a Rino.
Even Reagan would be a Rino by todays republian standards. Nixon, the "I am not a crook" crook, he'd probably fit right in.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostChina was fairly well contained until Bill Clinton granted them "favored nation" status, and it was right around then that "Made in China" started to dominate store shelves. Ever since Trump took office, I've started seeing more "Made in America" labels, and we'll be in better shape once the House gets off the impeachment bandwagon and approves the US/Mexico/Canada trade agreement."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

From my perspective, based on performance as Commander in Chief, Eisenhower was more conservative than any of his successors from either party.

I DO remember that's one of the reasons my Dad first began thinking about voting Republican!
