Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so-called party therefore beware of this party of treason. -- Nathaniel Grigsby, Civil War vet (1811-1890) – the above was engraved on his tombstone at his request.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose – the more things change, the more they remain the same. The Democrats, “this party of treason,” are at it again, some things never change.
