Republican party: Was the original anti-slavery party, and the Democrats were the opposition.
Greatest expansion of federal powers since the War We All Call Different Names: Everything Bush did, Obama has continued and escalated, and that's without even considering the "health care" (more like medical care) issue. Indefinite detention without trial? Hell, try assassination.
And as far as Martin/Zimmerman: The ridiculous racial bugaboos aside that the usual band of professional pimps are trying to make the central issue, Martin was clearly not a choir boy, and Zimmerman clearly no KKK member. Other than that, nobody knows a damn thing. Hopefully the truth will come out and what justice is possible will be done, as opposed to shrieking, self-inflated celebrities using their fame to incite a lynch mob (Spike Lee, Roseanne, et al).
