Why? You are no more responsible for what party ancestors did then you are for what your family ancestors did. All that matters is what you contribute to the world in your lifetime. Beyond that, it's outside your control and a waste of time to even think about.

There is no doubt that today's Republican party is not your father's Republican party. And likewise, today's Democratic party is not your granddaddy's Democratic party. It 'should be noted' that at the time of its birth, the Republican party was the progressive party. So your point is... What?

It's always been like. The closet pervs preying on kids always need someone to blame and divert the attention. ...And I'd say that's true about all women, so duh.
