So says one of the posters who insist that Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond represented a party unchanged since Lincoln.

There, fixed it for ya.

Not exactly the same folks. 150 years removed, genius.

Sorry Suzie, but your 10 points are a sad, feeble and failed attempt at rebuttal.

1. Conservatives have always opposed slavery. The Catholic Church openly came out against it.
2. Civil Rights – Again, neither a conservative nor liberal issue. Unless Al Gore, Sr. was a conservative
3. Segregated schools – Sorry, blacks continue to segregate themselves. That’s why Roanoke no longer has forced busing; the blacks don’t want it. It was a(nother) liberal idea that failed.
4. Lunch counters separated. Neither liberal nor conservative,
5. Abolish 40 hour work week – More liberal meddling. If worker and employee agree on the hours, what business is it of anyone else how much people work?
6. Nobody made children work for slave wages. Children could have always quit.
7. Prevent women from voting- Bipartisan. Recall the temperance organizations were the leading advocates of suffrage. Were the anti-booze folks liberals? I don’t think so. The fact that most women vote stupidly is another issue.
8. Social security. Abused, robbed, a drain on the system. Let people decide for themselves. ANOTHER bad leftwing idea.
9. So conservatives were peacenikes, huh? This is a revisionist theory I hadn’t heard.
10. A few more communists should have their careers ruined today. Starting with the media.

LOL. I sense Dan wishes he had not pushed for a response on his nonsense.

1): 50 million aborted babies since 1973 and that just in America.
2) Generational dependency, thanks to 80 years of welfare programs.
3) The disintegration of the American family, thanks to sexual permissiveness and easy divorce.
4) Loss of religious freedom.
5) General loss of liberites through senseless regulation
6) Permanently high unemployment
7) Pervasive taxes
8 . A far more dangerous world, through a PC support of dictators.
9) 100 million murders in the 20th century by socialist regimes.

That’s the leftwing legacy. They have simply turned their backs on God. The result has been nothing but misery.
