I figure at least half of the republicans don't realize that the major party basically swapped places.
Once they realize that a black woman helping runaway slaves is one of their parties top achievements, they might be forced to think a little deeper

as well as a short cutlass she was known to carry. They are both on display at a museum whose name escapes me right now.

She was also photographed with a Sharps rifle. Although at least one article I read called it a "Sharpshooter rifle" I don't doubt she would've upgraded her carry piece when she could. I just never saw a Harriet Tubman Colt.

I don't dispute the accuracy of the headline at all. Everything they said was simultaneously true and irrelevant.

It just tickled me how they try to spin history.
