Have conservatives ever contributed a f%$@ing thing to your country?

@CheshireCatalyst u.s.

@Sarin I'm really liberal, so I hate to break this to you, but Lincoln was a republican, it was the right wing who abolished slavery and the democrats who wanted to keep it.

@CheshireCatalyst I already know that. Conservative vs Progressives is a timeless struggle for man that knows no political party forever. The republican party of the 1800s was a progressive party and the democrats were conservative. that would change over time.

@CheshireCatalyst Lincoln was a liberal. Lincoln was against the Mexican-American war alongside the most liberal men of his time. Republicans back then were northern liberals and Democrats were southern conservatives. It's easy to spill bullshit, so stop it.

@CheshireCatalyst The thing that people don't get is that those slaveowning Democrats were conservative Democrats---traditionalists. The Republicans used to have more liberals, like Headlines said. Strom Thurmond, like several former "Dixiecrats" jumped ship and joined the Republican Party after the Civil Rights movement. Liberals from both parties were responsible for whatever social progress we have today. Conservatives from both parties have fought to preserve the status quo.
