 The Republican Party and racism: from the "southern strategy" to Bush
It was Richard Nixon who, after the landslide defeat of Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964, sought to reorient the Republican Party to the white racist elements in the southern states.
The Republican Party took up the long-time political methods of the southern Democrats, using racial demagogy to tie impoverished white workers and small farmers to the ruling aristocracy.
From then on, the Republican Party cemented its domination of the South, and especially of the states of the Deep South, which were the poorest and most backward in terms of social conditions, and where segregation and racial terror were practiced in the harshest form.

He was the first cousin of Francesco Cossiga (who was a leader of the Italian Christian Democrats and later became a President of the Italian Republic), and both were relatives of Antonio Segni, another Christian Democrat leader and President of the Republic.
The following year he was elected national vice-secretary of the party (the secretary being Luigi Longo); in this role he took part in the 1969 international conference of the Communist parties in Moscow, where his delegation disagreed with the "official" political line, and refused to vote on the final document.
But the President was influenced by minor political leaders like Giovanni Spadolini of the Italian Republican Party and Bettino Craxi of the Italian Socialist Party, and the PCI remained out of the government.

 What is Italy's National Alliance?
Some of the more conspicuous changes within Italian political culture must also be located within the same context: the abrupt de-ideologization of political struggle, the growing disaffection with democratic political contests, the gap between society and politicians and, most of all, the decline of anti-fascism as part of the collective ethos.
The image projected by AN is that of a party which wants to be seen as dynamic and modem, up-to-date and open to alliances (something altogether different, therefore, from a ghettoized defender of its identity and ideological purity, such as was the old MSI).
Thus the party presents itself as the embattled defender of the silent majority and, at the same time, as the respectable and renewed potential ally of the moderate coalition." Piero Ignazi, L 'Estrema Destra in Europa (Bologna: il Mulino, 1994), p.

 Reason
This time it's the Republican Party of Texas, President Bush's home state, which has approved a plank in its platform affirming that "the United States of America is a Christian nation."
This is in contrast to a similar flap in 1992: A statement by then-Mississippi Governor Kirk Fordice at a Republican governors' convention that "the United States is a Christian nation" was met with rebukes from leading Republicans, and Fordice eventually had to apologize.
True, the Texas Republican Party's plank also includes the "Judeo-Christian" formula that the national Republican leadership defended in 1992 ("our nation was founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian principles based on the Holy Bible").

The upset of the Republicans' supposed presidential frontrunner, Texas Governor George W. Bush, in the February 22 Michigan primary election has intensified the crisis of the Republican Party and prolonged the contest between Bush and his opponent for the party's nomination, Arizona Senator John McCain.

 National Review: Ponzi Party : Immigration and an old con - Republican Party supports immigration increase
Ponzi was an Italian immigrant with a criminal record in both Canada and the U.S., but any disquiet this may have caused was quickly quenched when he paid early investors the promised amount.
In the past Ponzi was not generally regarded as an attractive role model by Republicans or conservatives.
Such a calculation is open to attack on innumerable grounds-notably on the grounds that, according to the evidence of polls, the Hispanic minority that actually votes Republican today favors less immigration, official English, and individual rights.

In the PCI's (Italian Communist Party) symbol there was a national flag mostly hidden by a red sickle-and-hammer flag: I suppose it meant the communist ideology superimposed over the national identity.
The current system of political parties in Italy is complicated due to the great number of parties, their frequent fissions and fusions and name changes, and the electoral system urging the parties to form bigger coalitions and sub-coalitions for the elections.
As far as I know the flag that was used was the italian tricolor with the emblem in center.Also I have reported the flag with logo on white background and also in light blue backgorund.
