The people who have always fought to increase freedom, opportunity and rights are liberals. The people who have fought to restrict them are conservatives.
Friends don't let friends post to message boards when they're high.
It's not conservatives who are stripping citizens of their human right to free association, it's liberals who are COMPELLING associations onto people who want to reject those associations. Do you understand how pissed off people become when liberals stomp their jackboots on the throats of people? Stripping people of their human rights tends to upset people.
I am old enough to remember when those liberal policies did work in America. From the New Deal through the Great Society we created the most robust middle class in history. To steal from President Kennedy, America was the "city upon a hill"
And what mechanism was used to do this? Labor scarcity. What did liberals do? They opened the immigration floodgates and flooded the labor market with new workers and put massive downward pressure on wages and thus reduced the earnings and future earnings of the working class. Heck of a job there, Brownie.
That era ended at the end of the 1960's and the conservative era began.
Exactly. It was conservatives who pushed for women entering the workforce, it was conservatives who led the rebellions of the 1960s, it was conservatives who injected the cancer of multiculturalism into society, it was conservatives who pushed for racial quotas in all sectors of society, etc.
