The '''Democratic Party''' ('''D''') is one of the two major political [[parties]] in the [[United States of America]]. It has favored [[liberalism]] since its foundation in 1828 (although Democrat supporters have [[Deceit|deceitfully]] claimed that the Democrats prior to 1964, the year the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] was enacted, were "conservative" and, in a case of [[Liberal Amnesia]], willfully misled the public into believing that the Democrats and the Republicans "switched philosophies" practically overnight around that time, although actual conservative Democrats have always formed a minority within the party). In general it is [[pro-abortion]] and anti-[[free enterprise]], supporting higher taxes, anti-gun policies, and a much larger, more invasive government, while the [[Republican Party]] is generally [[pro-life]] and pro-free enterprise, supporting lower taxes and small, responsible government<ref>http://www.diffen.com/difference/Democrat_vs_Republican#Role_of_Government</ref>. President [[Barack Obama]] and other Democrats are [[liberal]] / [[Progressive]] leftists. Many [[conservative]]s consider him to be the worst president to date.
