Но никогда не доходило до такой степени рсадикализма.
С середине 19-го века консерваторов (читай сегодняшних репов) называли the stupid party.
Если они опять начнут выкручивать руки с debt ceiling, то они по праву buдут называться the crazy party.
Надо же. Не успела партия образоваться, а ее уже сразу ступид назвали. Ну что естественно: мол раз посмели с нами самыми умными не соглашаться - значит дураки.
Тот же самый аргумент до сих пор самый любимый у особо прогрессивно одаренных.
Ну так можете нам поведать что такого глупого республиканская партия предлагала что ее обозвали глупой? Я там привел из википедии.
Неужели за то что против рабства выступала?
Что вы нам на это расскажете, господин историк? Небось прочитали очередную прогрессивную глупость и сразу поверили и сюда тащите с умным видом знатока.
Founded in the Northern states in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, modernizers, ex-Whigs, and ex-Free Soilers, the Republican Party quickly became the principal opposition to the dominant Southern Democratic Party...
The first official party convention was held on July 6, 1854 in Jackson, Michigan. By 1858, the Republicans dominated nearly all Northern states. The Republican Party first came to power in 1860 with the election of Lincoln to the Presidency and Republicans in control of Congress and again, the Northern states.
It oversaw the saving of the union, the end of slavery, and the provision of equal rights to all men in the American Civil War and Reconstruction, 1861–1877.[6]
The Republicans' initial base was in the Northeast and the upper Midwest. With the realignment of parties and voters in the Third Party System, the strong run of John C. Fremont in the 1856 Presidential election demonstrated it dominated most northern states.
Early Republican ideology was reflected in the 1856 slogan "free labor, free land, free men", which had been coined by Salmon P. Chase, a Senator from Ohio (and future Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the United States).[7]
"Free labor" referred to the Republican opposition to slave labor and belief in independent artisans and businessmen. "Free land" referred to Republican opposition to plantation system whereby slaveowners could buy up all the good farm land, leaving the yeoman independent farmers the leftovers. The Party strived to contain the expansion of slavery, which would cause the collapse of the slave power and the expansion of freedom.[8]
Lincoln, representing the fast-growing western states, won the Republican nomination in 1860 and subsequently won the presidency. The party took on the mission of saving the Union and destroying slavery during the American Civil War and over Reconstruction. In the election of 1864, it united with War Democrats to nominate Lincoln on the National Union Party ticket.
