is (1800) someone who attempted to exert an undue opposition to or influence over government by means of private clubs, secret intrigues, or by public popular meetings which are extraneous to the constitution.

In 1800, Noah Webster yes, the author of the first American dictionary, although that was a number of years later defined a 'democrat' as someone who attempted to exert 'an undue opposition to or influence over government by means of private clubs, secret intrigues, or by public popular meetings which are extraneous to the Constitution.'

is (in 1843), a man who wishes one portion of the state to rule the rest.

A Jefferson Country newspaper was expressing an opinion widely current in Southwest Mississippi when it defined a Democrat as 'A man who wishes one portion of the state to rule the rest' (Fayette Southern Watch Tower, Jan. 17, 1843).)

is (in 1935) defined as a believer in tariff for revenue, and a republican as a believer in a protective tariff.

The romantic American sees nothing incongruous in selecting as mayor of a city a Democrat or a Republican at a time when a Democrat is defined as a believer in tariff for revenue, and a Republican as a believer in a protective tariff.

is (since the 1930s) commonly engaged in economic populism by accusing republicans of enacting tax-and spending policies that favored the wealthiest Americans.

The near-total focus on the economy in the last seven weeks of the campaign made it more difficult for Republicans to gain traction with a campaign of cultural populism that they had employed successfully against Democrats in many prior presidential elections. Since the 1930s, Democrats have engaged in economic populism by accusing Republicans of enacting tax-and spending policies that favored the wealthiest Americans. Beginning in the 1960s Republicans have practiced cultural populism as they argued that Democrats are opponents of mainstream moral values, are not genuinely patriotic, are allied with the Hollywood elites, and hold average Americans in contempt. In the 2008 Democratic primaries, Barack Obama was accused of elitism by the Clinton campaign after he was recorded at a fund-raiser in San Francisco (a center of cultural elitism according to conservatives) as saying that working-class whites in industrial areas and rural parts of the country cling to their guns and religion out of bitterness at their economic plight.

is (since the 1960s) commonly branded by republicans under a kind of cultural populism, as an opponent to mainstream moral values, not genuinely patriotic, allied with the hollywood elites, and one who holds average Americans in contempt.

is a feeler, the republican is a thinker.

Democrats admire the institutions that forge unity of issues amongst the people the local Churches, the Quaker groups, the Civil rights societies, the Student unions, the Labor unions, etc. Democrats admire the organizations that build the nations ''helpers''. On the other hand, Republicans admire the institutions that teach people organizational structure, honor, and strategy the military, the college fraternities, the better business organizations, the cadet schools, etc. The Republicans admire the organizations that build the nations ''leaders''. Democrats are feelers. Republicans are thinkers!

is a person who believes (at least pretends to believe) that the answer to all of his problems can be corrected very simply with money.

Is a person that believes (at least pretends to believe) that the answer to all of his problems can be corrected very simply. Send money. When that doesn't correct the problem, it is because you failed to send enough money. Our public education institutions are classic examples of that mentality. Been there, done that... it doesn't work.

is a person who does not believe you are entitled to be prepared to protect yourself, your family, or your property.

Is a person that believes you are only entitled to protect yourself, your family, and your property from assault after you can prove the perpetuator intends you harm like after you are dead, for example. Consider the ruling that if someone kills a burglar coming in a window and he falls in the house, you are a victim defending yourself. Yet if he falls outside the house, he becomes the victim. Same situation, but role reversal based on some judge totally lacking in judgment.
