    The Republican Party was born in the early 1850's

    >>>the country has always been polarized; we just never used to hear the non-left point of view. >>>

    whew, get a sense of history kid! You could not be more wrong! The right has a long long history in the US. Presidents during most of the late nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century were Republicans. Bush, Bush, Reagan, Ford, NIxon, Eisnehower, Truman, Hoover, Coolidge, Harding (skipping some) Lincoln. --those are the Presidents, I haven't listed Governors, Senators, Congressmen.

    The Republican Party was born in the early 1850's, it's been around a long time. Believe you me, we've been hearing from conservatives for a long time. Geeze, I could go on and on and on, how misinformed.
