Actually, no, the party that Lincoln ran under would be today's Republican party.

"Conservatives see Liberals as:
Gun-hating, tax-raising, America-hating, UN-loving, handout-giving, anti-Christian, hypocrtitical hippies who are all closet-socialists and likely on some sort of illegal substance."

Let's see...gun-hating...tax-raising...UN-loving...handout-giving...anti-Christian... For the most part, those are true of the majority of liberals and Democratic voters. Of these I picked out, what have liberals done to dispel those stereotypes upon them? As for the rest of your post, you make the assumption that nobody is open to even hear any other ideas/ideals, which is incorrect.

"Well, Sasquatch, it would depend on who called you homophobic. Not everyone on this message board is exactly fit for CNN, you know."

Not everyone, but many would be a good fit for Dan Rather's two left shoes.

"One can disagree with homosexuality all they want. However, the very second you look down on someone for being homosexual you have become homophobic in my books."

pho·bi·a
n.
A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

Looking down on homosexuality doesn't make somebody a homophobe. But a person in America can't disagree with homosexuality without being labeled as somebody who hates gays. I've had gay friends, and I called 'em queer and they called me a thumper and we steered clear of the topic because we disagreed on it. Like many people (and many Christians, following what it says in the Bible about "hate the sin, love the sinner"), I disagree with homosexuality, but I don't hate homosexuals.
