radical republicans vs reactionary republicans


 twice in its 150 year history
 the party of abe and teddy 
  actually
   tilted beyond the vital center 

   both as a result
   of taking the House 
             by the throat 

one SWUNG left one  SWUNG right

one was short 
and 
way back when 
  circa 1866-1870 

the other  

longer

-reaction always is-
 and 
 just yesterday and today...
circa 1994 to now 

(if not tomorrow) 

and  best 
(for symmetry  )

 southern  white democrats
  and blacks  
    made it all possible
          both times
