Maybe you should go back and do a little research. Many of those items the democrats were dragged into kicking and screaming. MLK was a republican for a reason.
Fernie · F
your words are meaningless joe....empty and meaningless. It's YOU that needs to educate yourself

Wow such rose colored glasses you have. I wish i had such glasses. You infer in the presentation of this question that all those things are good things that everyone agreees on, and that they are also being run well. Also, Do you think that none of those things would exist without bipartisan support over the years? You do know Congress funds all those things and half congress is republicans?

Of course you are well aware i could get a list of positive things republicans have done as well over the years, I could also make a list of all the disasters and suffering the dems have helped cause over the years. But what would be the point as you have access to Google just like I do. It would make no more sense than this post does. It would be partisanism for the sake of partisanism.

The two party system is a control mechanism to confine our minds. Good people do good things regardless of party affiliation and are willing to work with one another to make good things happen. Do you think if left to go unchecked by people with different world views, upbringings, and opinions the democrats would have built some kind of utopia by now? If you do, then you are not a good student of human nature, nor have you read up on the recent 20th century horrors of unchecked socialist ideology.

Both parties have been involved in some great things we all benefit from. But it isn't the parties that do these things, it's the good people within them. If you are upset with where the country is right now, remember it's both wings of the same corrupt sick bird that got us here.

I never understood why "liberal" became a bad word since liberals from [b]both[/b] parties are responsible for most of our freedoms.
Coppercoil · M
I agree.. it shouldn't be a bad word. In a classical sense liberal has meant exactly what you say, freedom.. liberty.. etc. So many ideas and words have been used and abused. It's such a mess. I consider myself a classical liberal in many ways, but I'm constantly put down by those who claim to be the only real liberals. They define what it means to be liberal in such an absolute and restrictive ways as to continually alienate every day folks with liberal leanings like me. Of course the right does this too.. it's part of the polarizing process politicians and media use to control our votes and support.
Fernie · F
well bijoux...I have found those are the same people who made Feminism the new "F" bomb.
@Fernie: You're absolutely right.
