Well if the founding fathers were that great they would have let women vote from the get go.
No remark could identify one as ignorant of history at that one.
Nor, as a better, more clear-cut example of what Shelby Steele was getting at here:
"At home the values that made us exceptional have been smeared with derision. Individual initiative and individual responsibilitythe very engines of our exceptionalismnow carry a stigma of hypocrisy. For centuries America made sure that no amount of initiative would lift minorities and women. So in liberal quarters todaywhere historical shames are made to define the present..."

Just like you and the writer, trying to shame liberals by using an example of the historical shames by "progressives, liberals, democrats" of the past, to define the present.
Works both ways. Really not that hard to see the irony and hypocrisy of the writer.
Instead of presenting and idea or statemnt that is neutral, you always try to post historical shames, a tired inception of bad debating, but let us not forget about that vindictive nature.
To be frank, Drop-Draws.....I always look forward to your participation, as nothing could draw a more clear distinction between the perspectives of Left and Right.
"Instead of presenting and idea or statemnt that is neutral, you always try...."
Yup!
True.
And that's why I rep you from time to time. (never neg)
Aside from political perspective, you show a lack of understanding of our missions, here.
You and I are on different sides, we are supposed to have different perspectives.
Nor is it my function to be "neutral." And not just because Lefties such as yourself give their side....but because the dinosaur media gives ONLY your side.
I believe that in the marketplace of ideas, conservative always defeats liberal. So...you give only yours....I give only mine.
And, in threads such as history....I get to fill in lacunae that liberal media and liberal public schooling leaves out.
Get it now?
"...but let us not forget about that vindictive nature."
OK...maybe a little.
