The history of America is the history of slow liberalism.
we only have to look at our history where we began and where we are today to see that. So many vast changes and always toward more rights for people. The only question we seem to have is do Democrats, at times, move too fast for the people? When people feel uncomforable with pace they vote in America's anchor, the Republican party. After a time again it's time to move forward and so back comes the Democratic party. But make no mistake our goal is always more liberalism and a better life for the people. The Repubicans would like to believe the Constitution is part of the anchor but so far it has not impeded progress.
More rights for citizens from the liberals?
Do you really expect us to take you seriously when you post BS like that? When it comes to removing people's rights, the liberals and Democrats are worse than the Republicans and the Republicans are a crappy benchmark to set in the first place.

Do Americans have more rights today than in 1789? What might those rights be? Did conservatives or liberals push for those rights?
that's a great question. for one... i couldn't have voted in 1789 because i'm female.
blacks couldn't have voted and were 3/5 of a person. only white male landowners could vote.
gee... what were they saying about those 'freedoms'. and how many of them were slaveowners again?
