6. Fought for Civil Rights
7. Fought for Gay rights
8. Fought for womens equality in the workplace

It should be noted that conservatives fought against every one of these initiatives
I'm afraid you don't get credit for #1. The liberals then were a vastly different breed then what are called liberals now. Hell they aren't even close to what JFK was. What you would like to take credit for would today look more like a moderate conservative.
As for the rest are you somehow attempting to dishonestly imply that conservatives aren't for those things? Thank you for illustrating something that liberals are. A group that tries to dupe the American people into making believe they're something they're not.
