Actually
Democrats instigated the Civil War with their Kansas-Nebraska act(Republicans did not exist as a national party at the time!!)
Democrats argued against women rights as well.
Vietnam, in the words of Dukakis, was a "Democrat War"
Segregation, a product of a Democrat as well.
I guess Democrats were on the wrong side of history yet you suggest that "Republicans are always wrong!!"
Just wanted to point this out to you. That is all..
Democrats were the conservative party of the 19th century. Why is it so hard for you people to understand that? Are you simply stupid?
Southern Democrats were the conservative wing of the Democratic party in the 20th century.
This is about CONSERVATISM being on the wrong side of history again and again and again.
The very fact that you don't support slavery or segregation (presumably) is because the progressives/liberals of those times WON and the conservatives of those times LOST.
Each generation of conservatives becomes more liberal than the last, because the liberal victories that inevitably occur in each generation become the status quo of the future.
Conservatives fought against women's suffrage; how many conservatives do you hear nowadays that want to take away a woman's right to vote? Not many. That's because their conservative predecessors were, as usual, WRONG.
Currently and recently, for example, conservatives have been fighting to keep gays out of the military. Before long, conservatives will lose that battle, and a generation or so from now mainstream American conservatism will have NO interest in kicking gays out of the military.
EXACTLY!!!
They are just talking talking-points, not actual true or realistic arguments.
It sounds good and makes their argument SEEM sound...its not.
Its all based on lies.
CONSERVATISM has always been on the WRONG side of the tracks.
Plain and simple.
You hit the nail DIRECTLY on its head.
Kudos to you.
