Wronwinger, I must say you're a delightful ass.
If it has escaped your attention, moonbat enemy #1 Richard Nixon helped create the ******* EPA. It may also not occur to you that conservatives generally dominate the hunting/fishing/conservation communities. They're not a bunch of bed wetters living downtown who's only connection with nature is a bike ride on Saturday through a well manicured city park. These people have a vested interest in a clean habitable environment. It's you moonbats who've used that federal government power to abuse property owners, industrialists, and ranchers. That's why environazis are vilified.
Secondly, is social security solvent? I'll leave it at that.
Handicap protections arbitrarily mandated by the feds inconvenience far more people than they help. Localities are more capable of addressing the needs of their populations than blanket legislation that affects people in areas where the disabled don't live. It may not have occurred to you either that many people are abusing the system by getting listed as "disabled" when there's really nothing wrong with them.\
"Labor laws" thwarted me as a teenager from getting jobs that didn't just pay below minimum wage in cash. No one is suggesting the US would be better off if 8 year olds were working in steel plants. No one with any brains would argue that a 15 year old shouldn't be able to work nights at Mcy D's or the local diner (even for their PARENTS) rather than have illegal aliens with fake SS#'s doing those jobs.
For all your bullshit "progressive" laws, there are consequences you're unwilling to acknowledge. Conservatives don't oppose them because "we don't care", we actually care more than you do.
Oh the old befuddled......Republicans cannot be progressive chant
There was actually a time in this country when Republicans cared about America and Americans. Now they only care about the wealthy
Our problem in this country is not with Republicans. Republicans have done some fine things.....look at Teddy Roosevelt, Ike and even Nixon
Our problem is with Conservatives who now have a death grip on the GOP
