If Republican ideas are so good

It wouldn't sound so childish when you type if it didn't come off as arrogant.
If you're talking about slavery, and then later civil rights.....
Slavery was abolished because of the constitution, NOT in spite of it.
Abraham Lincoln quoted the constitution many times in defense of freedom.
"All men (people) are created as equals" and so on.
Republicans wanted equal rights, its democrats who hang people from trees,
also denieing black people rights with your Jim Crow laws.
So if you want to talk about slavery then democrats have got ALOT to answer for.
Do you LIE and MISLEAD in EVERY post you make?

The Iran–Contra affair (Persian: ایران-کنترا‎, Spanish: caso Irán-contras), also referred to as Irangate, Contragate or the Iran-Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that came to light in November 1986. During the Reagan administration, senior Reagan administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, the subject of an arms embargo.[SUP][1][/SUP] Some U.S. officials also hoped that the arms sales would secure the release of hostages and allow U.S. intelligence agencies to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
The scandal began as an operation to free seven American hostages being held by a group with Iranian ties connected to the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. It was planned that Israel would ship weapons to Iran, and then the U.S. would resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the U.S. hostages. The plan deteriorated into an arms-for-hostages scheme, in which members of the executive branch sold weapons to Iran in exchange for the release of the American hostages.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] Large modifications to the plan were devised by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council in late 1985, in which a portion of the proceeds from the weapon sales was diverted to fund anti-Sandinista and anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP]

Right, wrong, or inbetween on his policies or the direction he took the country; I strongly feel that Bush loves his country and loves being an American.

Not sure if I can say the same about Obama.

This is absolutely jaw dropping... Bush who led us into Iraq loved his country? Bush who gave generous unpaid tax cuts to the to rich loved his country? Bush who deregulated wall street and the housing market which led to our recession loved this country?

Holy shit, Fox News must be mixing up some good kool-aid. The republitards are out in force! It's obvious who watches mainstream media and Fox. You guys think there's a real difference between anyone? The U.S. presidency is a well coordinated effort.

People who still believe all things are happening by chance will be left as sheep to wolves.
