p>Another item that I find interesting, this due to the liberal
influence on education: when I was in school in the 1960s, all
history books referred (correctly) to the party founded by Thomas
Jefferson — the party of Andrew Jackson and Jefferson Davis — as
the “Democratic-Republicans” — that is the party that believed, at
least nominally, in a democratic republic. This same party is now
referred to in every book I read as the “Republicans” — my
daughter came home from school telling me about how “the
Republicans” had been historically supporters of slavery and
secession — it took my a while to figure out why she was saying
this, and then to explain the history of the GOP. Not only do
liberals skip over their own history, but then they try to hang it
on us!
