Harry Truman, on Republicans, said 70 years ago. Still relevant today.
"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home — but not for housing. They are strong for labor — but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights. They favor minimum wage — the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all — but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine — for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing — but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing — so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it. Now, my friends, that is the Wall Street Republican way of life. But there is another way — there is another way — the Democratic way, the way of the Democratic Party."

6. Truman was awesome
I read this book a few years ago, Truman by David McCullough and I learned so much about the man.
Did you learn this?
Letter from Harry S. Truman to Bess Wallace, June 22, 1911. Truman Papers - Family, Business, and Personal Affairs Papers.
I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a ****** or a Chinaman. Uncle Wills says that the Lord made a white man from dust, a ****** from mud, and then threw what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion that negroes ought to be in Arica, yellow men in Asia, and white men in Europe and America.

Makes sense, the DUmbfuks (and all libtrash in general) are closet racists and bigots anyway.

They are still pissed at Lincoln for freeing the slaves.

I wondered that myself, and looked around for it.
No primitives are bewailing the 72nd anniversary.

Looked it up and today is the the day.
Kind of strange they have forgot to hate on the USA.
Must be they have forgotten given other reasons to blow their evil wad on decent people.
Btw,keep poking the primitives and others on DI. :cheersmate:
