[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] I see you fail to mention that 40 years ago the Republican party had a very large and VERY liberal membership. That membership moved over to the Democratic Party. Or Kevin Phillips ... 'member him? One of Nixon's staffers. Wrote a rather famous letter to Nixon. Gotta love what it says. He urged Nixon to turn the GOP into the party of the "unpoor, unblack, uncool" ... You may not be aware of this, but Nixon listened to Phillips. Now, remember, the Democratic Party was sort of in trouble -- lots of interest groups and all. Wedge issues helped Nixon, and he and other Republicans generated powerful national symbols and cried about how Democrats violated 'em (something you dudes are doing to date, BTW). Against anti-war protestors, Nixon promised "peace with honor." Against the claims of the civil rights movement, Republicans slowed down more progress on achieving racial equality by reducing aid to cities and SLOWING policies aimed at school integration. To combat feminists, gays, and rebellious college students, the Republicans preach about "law and order and family values." And you're telling me the GOP is interested in promoting equal rights? Maybe. But you'll have to prove it, got any recent examples? Perhaps I should say the Republican Party will have to prove it, something they haven't done yet. And, no offense, but whatever Charleton Heston and Sydney Poitier's party affiliation, it won't make me believe in that party affiliation anymore than an ad they're in would make me run out and buy whatever was being advertised. You seem to forget that the majority of civil rights leaders in this nation remain with the Democratic Party. Speaking of which, when did the Republican Party do anything to protect the rights of homosexuals? Just wondering. But, back to the ORIGINAL TOPIC: How does the (possible) mass-support of Bush's FAITH program make it any more (or less?) Constitutional? Any answer, Omega? [/QB][/QUOTE]
