Of course not. Everything they do just makes life worse for ordinary Americans.

@USAalltheway: Here...lots of this stuff makes your uninformed life SO much better than it would be without Liberals....you're welcome:
-
INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM-era: 1950's-present
Proposed by Roosevelt and erected by Eisenhower (a Republican), the
Interstate system was a big government project. As much as anything else in the post WWII era, the Interstate is responsible for tremendous economic growth, prosperity, and has spawned an entire culture.
-
GI BILL-era: 1950's
This act of Congress enabled millions upon millions of Americans to get
college educations, something that most Americans had never had the
opportunity to do previously. An entire generation of leaders, scientists,
and business people owe their education to the GI Bill.
-
LABOR LAWS-era: 1930's-present
An end to child labor, 40 hour work weeks, the right of employees to
collectively bargain, overtime pay, workplace safety, all of the things we
take for granted today are thanks to liberal laws passed in the first half
of this century. It was the conservatives who fought tooth and nail against the end of sweatshops and exploitation.
-
MARSHALL PLAN-era: late 1940's-1950's
Foreign aid is a popular scapegoat these days. Those who would cut it should look back at the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt Europe, and is the major reason that Communism never made it past East Berlin.
-
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS-era: 1970's-present
The environment has gotten much better in the last 30 years thanks to
liberals. Bald Eagles fly once again thanks to endangered species laws, most rivers and lakes are clean again due to anti-pollution laws, and frequent smog days are a thing of the past in most big American cities.
-
FOOD SAFETY LAWS-era: 1910's-present
Today cases of food poisoning are rare, and consumers know that whatever they buy is safe to eat.
-
WORKPLACE SAFETY LAWS-era: 1930's-present
Long hours in unsafe conditions are much rarer today than in the past.
Tragedies such as the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and child labor have been
eliminated by liberal and progressive legislation.
-
SOCIAL SECURITY-era: 1930's-1970's
This program has provided three generations of Americans retirement
benefits, and nearly eliminated poverty among the elderly. The program is
weakening now, but for 50 years it did its job to a T.
-
MEDICARE-Passed in 1965 despite the cries of socialism from Reagan and other conservatives, gave economic security and health care to people over age 65.
-
ECONOMIC GROWTH-era: 1950's-1960's, 90's
Liberalism and economic prosperity go hand-in-hand. Unlike the pseudo-boom
of the 1980's and tinkle down economics, the 50's,60's, 90's were a period of sustained and real growth for all sectors of the economy and all social classes. Taxes were fair, government worked, and America prospered.
-
SPACE PROGRAM-era: 1950's-present
It was Kennedy who challenged us to make it to the moon, and it is under his and Johnson's administrations that the space program took off, with numerous benefits to American industry and peoples' standard of living, not to mention national pride. If you are reading this on a computer, thank the space program and the liberals who got it going.
-
PEACE CORPS-era: 1960's-present
Kennedy inspired thousands of Americans to ask what they could do for their country, and the Peace Corps is his most visible and effective
-
CIVIL RIGHTS-era: 1950's-present
Liberal ideals drove the biggest change in American society since the Civil War, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. All Americans who believe in freedom and opportunity cannot help but be inspired by the valiant struggles of MLK and others. Also recall if you will that the major opponents of civil rights were conservatives.
-
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY PROJECT-era: 1930's
The Depression-era government program bought electricity to thousands of
impoverished families in Appalachia, prevented floods, and created thousands of new jobs.
-
WOMEN'S RIGHT TO VOTE-era: 1920's-present
Before 1920, half of America's population could not exercise the essential
duty of citizenship.
-
UNIVERSAL PUBLIC EDUCATION-era: 1890's-present
The reason America is/was so strong economically is because we have a
well-educated citizenry. Public schooling is the true melting pot of
America, where every student, regardless of economic background can be
taught the basics of citizenship. It is no coincidence that in the last 20
years, as conservatives have greatly weakened the public school system, that American students have scored lower on tests and our civic society has started to unravel. (this might be attributed to talk radio, Fox news, and media in general dumbing down our society as well)
-
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE-era: 1930's-present
This is one of those things you never think about, but you are glad its
there. Far from just forecasting the weather, the NWS also provides vital
data to pilots and sailors, and the NWS satellites and observation posts
provide the raw data that all other weather forecasting services (private
ones too!) depend on.
-
PRODUCT LABELING/TRUTH IN ADVERTISING LAWS-era: 1910's-present
"We take it for granted that if a claim is made publicly for a product, it's reasonable to assume it's true. Plus, every time we check the ingredients on a can or package of food, we should mentally call down blessings on the liberals who passed the necessary legislation over the anguished howls of the conservatives, who were convinced IT WAS UNECESSARY.

Ordinary Americans never benefited from any of that. It would have been better to leave it to the free market.

@Fernie: Yeah, my mind has been kept clean from liberal contamination by my parents and my community. And I'm proud of it.
