History Says Otherwise

Raw Story: Former President Ronald Reagan’s oldest son on Monday compared liberals to termites who are “eating away at the foundations” of America. Appearing a campaign event for Newt Gingrich in Florida, Michael Reagan encouraged attendees not to “go home and forget about it.”

Liberals freed the slaves, got women the right to vote, and fought for the worker rights and protecions that created the great American middle class. And conservatives fought them every step of the way. Everything good about America, equal opportunity, environmental protection, upward mobility, public education, civil rights, racial equality & due process exists because of our work and despite theirs.

Here's the bottom line, conservatives have been working on behalf of the plantation owner since this country was founded. And to this day, unless you're a transnational CEO, a war profiteer, a billionaire, or a Chinese factory owner conservative public policy is a God-damn-national-disaster.
