It's beyond me...how did the Republicans of the Abraham Lincoln administration turn into the GOP of today? Why has the term "socialism" gotten such a bad rap when it's what the Declaration of Independence is all about?

The Republicans of Abraham Lincoln are the Democrats of today. What Lincoln's party stood for is almost exactly what the Democrats stand for today. There are others who can explain it better than I can, but over time, the Republican's drifted over to the party of big business and the rich. And the Democrats drifted over to the party of the common citizen. Not quite that simple but that is the gist of it.
