While we're on the topic, here's a great little link I stumbled over -- a Daily Kos post about the http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/ ... Wrote-THIS]Republican party platform of 1956. The author of the piece admits he cherry-picked the choicest bits, but he still makes a good point -- the modern Republican party is so divorced from its roots that it would consider its own members during the nigh-legendary "golden age" they like to paint the 1950s as -- a classically Republican era and practically the definition of "proper America" to them -- to be a bunch of dangerous left-wing radicals.
