A Brief History of Our Two Political Parties:Republicans Defended Women and Freed the Slaves While..

Republicans are the racist and sexist party, right? They keep women down and want take us back to the Jim Crow era, don’t they?

While these are commonly held beliefs by our nation’s professors, political pundits, journalists, celebrities, and essentially all liberals and many independents, if you take a look at the history of our two major parties you’ll quickly realize that the war on women is being waged by Democrats and the party that defended slavery and keeps blacks enslaved today is, yep, you guessed it, the Democrats.

Full disclosure here. I don’t think Republicans are saints or even a respectable party at this point in time. I yearn for a viable third option, but we are not there yet. Politicians are an untrustworthy and self-interested class. Republicans used to stand for and defend fiscal responsibility, limited government, and economic freedom. Today, they are just the party of a little bit smaller big government than their Democratic opposition. I am a libertarian conservative and am skeptical of politicians and the media due to my extensive experience covering them as a freelance journalist for the last few years and seeing how the sausage is made. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2008 because a was an ideological collegian who had just finished reading Atlas Shrugged. I chose Mitt Romney in 2012 to stop the socialist regime of Barack Obama. And in 2016, I voted for Donald J. Trump. I’m not ashamed of that. I am quite proud of it. So there you have it.

There were two problems with that:

1. The Democrats would not accept it, and

2. Free blacks were Americans, and didn’t want to be exiled from the only country they had known.
