I don't think there's much use in explaining this, but you don't seem to have a very good grasp of history. Party names are not the key to ideology, and it's baffling that people think they can compare politics from 180 and 120 years ago using current concepts. If you think modern Republicans are the party of Lincoln, let's see... who would we see flying Confederate flags currently?

Good.point.

This is the same reason I don't trust any Italians from Rome. Those Romans are always going around waging wars of conquest, demanding tributes, look what they did to Carthage! I still hold them dang Romans responsible for all those crucifixions. Horrible!

And don't even get me started on those Hittites! Constantly conquering people, they had slaves too! Just as bad as the democrats if not worse. Whenever I meet an Assyrian I like to personally thank them for taking care of those Hittite bastards.

Kind of a weird dodge... I'll just answer the rhetorical question for you. So, people who currently fly confederate flags are uniformly Republican and identify as conservative.
