Yeah... no one's ever heard of Lincoln.

Seriously drafter... you're missing a HUGE contextual issue.

If a politician is unknown, then it doesn't matter whether a party is incorrectly getting "credit" for him.

If a politician is well known, and well liked, then the only people who are going to mistakenly give the wrong party "credit" are ones which are too stupid to know better.

And even more important, if a politician is getting monuments and plaques, odds are they're dead and whatever great thing they did was long enough ago that there isn't any "gain" to one party or another claiming him.

Seriously... you're 100 years too late to fight a battle over credit for an action 150 years ago.

But it isn't wrong within the context of the original plaque. The term "democrat" has two meanings, the plaque is clearly referencing the primary meaning: "an advocate or supporter of democracy".

If you have a problem with it, change the Republican party name to something with another meaning.

This is a whole lot of noise about absolutely nothing.

To bring this into context...

What about literature?

I'm sure there are a number of famous political letters and books, required reading in many schools, which use the word "democrat", or "gay" or even "f$g" with definitions outside of the current mainstream usage. Do we need to change all of them?
