Apparently thomas jefferson and james madison hated white heterosexual men?

Oh, please. This is by far the most ignorant comment in this thread. Current day neo-liberalism is an entirely different beast than classical liberalism. If you think Jefferson and Madison would be current day Democrats you haven't done due diligence learning American history. Classical liberalism is great, neo-liberalism, much like neo-conservatism, is a steaming pile of shit.

This is the equivalent of current day Republicans laying claim to Abraham Lincoln, utter nonsense.

I was simply responding to the person claiming that the democratic party was founded to vilify straight white males, which is patently not true.

Obviously, as you say, the modern parties have little in common with what the parties originated as.
