Liberalism wasn't born until FDR's New Deal which used Tamanny Hall politics to shift the blacks from Republicans and the urban areas to Democrats. Southerners also jumped ship from Republicans after Reconstruction. The entire nation were conservatives, anyone who acted like today's liberals were either tarred and feathered, or the children peppered them with rotten vegetables in stockades in public.
Here's what conservatives have been entirely responsible for in our nation, which you could say would be up to the Presidency of JFK.
1. Fought for the rights of the individual against a monarchy. Wrote our Declaration of Independence and Constitution...."All men are created equal" Exactly, God bless the conservatives who threw off the chains of taxation without representation.
2. Fought for the abolition of Slavery- Democrats were against it, thank God we pulled through.
3. Fought for worker rights.....40 hour workweek, safe workplace, child labor laws. Yup, conservatives wanted that too.
4. Fought for our environment- yup, conservatives fought for that too, and can't believe Obama gets a free pass letting GM off the financial hook for their environmental disaster areas in bankruptcy.
5. Fought for a womans right to vote- yup, we fought for that too, in fact, we need more women in politics, or we wouldn't have the corruption we have today.
6. Fought for Civil Rights- Yup, conservatives were responsible for that too.
7. Fought for Gay rights- I didn't know anyone was against them except for the liberal Democrat monopolized government. I guess "marriage" was the issue, not the fact that government completely screwed gays in the first place.
8. Fought for womens equality in the workplace- Conservatives are the workplace outside of government workers, so you need to clarify.
9. Social Security, Medicare, Medicade- I thinks it's Medicaid, all broken plans, and millions of state and federal employees have never, and will never pay into that broken system. Not all of them, but a considerable sum. It's so great, even government workers slave to voting Democrat were smart enough to create laws so they don't have to participate in these swell plans.
Also, a Syracuse University professor's study showed that today's conservatives a lot more charitable than today's liberals.
That shows conservatives have always been a better people, and don't even mind much when a liberal tries to lay claim to OUR accomplishments.
Thanks, the management.
