What’s Your Political Party?

We live in a world today where so many lives hang in the balance of political parties that are elected. But many don’t even know what party they should side with. Even hard core democrats & republicans don’t have a clue about the foundations on which their party was born and still today upheld.

Today’s Democrats are called ‘liberal’ democrats. The old school democrats believed in a lot of the same things republicans did but varied on a few select points. Old school democrats thought that they could create programs to put people to work and create prosperity: for instance the CCC (the conservation corps), TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) etc. While republicans then as now, wanted to help big business and private enterprise to create jobs to ensure prosperity. They also fought slavery and civil rights whereas republicans starting with Lincoln fought for equality and equal rights.

Liberals, today’s democrats, believe in bigger government but are weaker on national defense, higher taxes (to ensure prosperity), want to change the constitution as they see fit and make it a document to change with the times, they want laws to be a guideline on living life but promote free personal preference when choosing to obey, they do not believe in the death penalty for even the worst and most brutal crimes instead passing it off to be a personal choice, strongly believe in welfare and the right for some individuals never to work if they choose not to, believe in abortions up to the moment of birth and some are this year arguing the point to allow the baby to be euthanized after birth if the mother changes her mind.

Republicans believe in prenatal care and the health and life of the unborn and do not believe in killing your own children under any circumstances, personal responsibility, they believe in God and the constitution, they also fight for the welfare back to work program as they think that welfare should come with time limits and other restrictions so that parents can rejoin the workforce as soon as possible to alleviate the pressure from the taxpayers, lower taxes to help citizens and the economy, strong on national defense, and finally- education not indoctrination.
