    then can we get a new forum, and call it

    How 'bout we take back the Romper Room and create a political arena where people can disparage each other all they want? I want a thread like the Rat Communication one I bumped to be able to survive in here--or any of the old "Seinfeld-like" threads that have nothing to do with anything, we're just talking and having fun. I so miss them.
    Hmmm....sounds a lot like the fairness doctrine.

    I would have no problem with seperating us political talkers either. But seriously, there is a reason the Rat Communications threads die and the discussion/debate threads live on.

    Like democrats your ideas can't survive in the open marketplace so you propose to change the rules so they can. If only democrats would take their ideas and go to a "seperate room" with them instead of destroying our country.

      Why do conservatives always claim lincoln? Not that I know much of anything, but isn't the political spectrum completely different today than it was back then? Wouldn't Lincoln more closely align with todays Demcrat party?

        No, Lincoln freed the black populace from slavery.

            Democrats have basically enslaved poverty inner city blacks as a voting group by keeping them in a no growth situation and giving them just enough crumbs to get by in exchange for being the most reliable voting block out there. Whenever a republican speaks against this ridiculous setup he is instantly called a bigot or a rascist.

            Democrats try to rewrite history because reality doesn't suit them. Republicans carry the day historically whenever it comes to black rights. Lincoln freed the slaves but never passed a social program once. Republicans far and away supported the civil rights act more than democrats. Repulicans are all for equality and fairness. Democrats are for quotas and double standards.

            Who do you think Lincoln would identify with. The party of social programs, progressive taxation, regulation, and paying single women who get pregnant or the party that believes we should all compete equally, and take full responsibility for our actions...HONESTLY, where do you think Lincoln would be?

              Lincoln faced terrible burdens as president, not the least of which were the very division of the country and a civil war. It's difficult to even begin to compare those times to today.

              Lincoln was a self-made man of the people who experienced several personal and political setbacks in his career. He was a citizen legislator and would not fit in today with the professional political class of the wealthy and the privileged that form both the Republican and Democratic parties.

              Above all, Lincoln was a Christian, a man of sincere faith. He would be labeled a social conservative, a "right-winger" today. There is NO WAY he would validate the social agendas of the Democratic party - abortion on demand, special rights for LGBTs, same-sex marriage, the removal of religious faith from the public square.

              He was a man of principle and action and he would not sacrifice his personal religious convictions for political fame.

              Frankly, I doubt he would feel much enthusiasm for either party in 2009.

                This, Ziggy and Harlan, is why the Circle must live. Excellent posts.

                  Google the republican party and see some of the accomplishments. Your question comes from the perception the democrat party has created with entitlement programs that keep people endeared to them rather then people realizing their own potential. Yes, Lincoln would remain a republican.

                              Ditto that. My wife turned on Fox News this morning, and the Obamas were going to the National Cathedral, so I guess it isn't over.

                                It might be safe in 4-8 years.
