What Are Liberals Proud OF?

[retiredman]

I am proud of our military. I am proud of my father's generation and how they fought to end fascism. I am proud of my own service in the Navy during the cold war... I am proud of America's steady march toward progressive liberalism over the last century and a half....from ending slavery to passing women's suffrage, to child labor laws, to giving unions the right to organize, workplace safety, environmental protection, minimum wage, social security, medicare, medicaid, the GI Bill, Civil Rights.... there are MANY things that make me proud to be an American.

What are YOU proud of, RSR?

The OP seems to completely ignore the fact that all three candidates talk constantly about the good AND the bad in America. Instead, he focuses on only the bad things mentioned by the Democrat candidates. Hmmm.
Would you rather prez candidates ignore the bad parts of American life or are you naive enough to believe that there are no bad parts of American life?

Not much to rebut there --- good choices.

They may not have all been by democrats, but they certainly all were advances for progressive liberalism.

hmmm and I don't see one single program mentioned where the means of production are owned by the government. For you bozos on the right, the word "socialism" has completely lost its intended meaning and now is nothing more than an epithet.

fyi....

so·cial·ism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] –noun
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

i know what it means and it is exactly what you are advocating... minimum wage....taking property of the owner and putting in the hands of the community/worker....

you tried to pass those things off as democratic liberal ideas, at least you admit they are not. they also are not simply all progressive liberalism, such a thing has no basis in fact and is only theory, the very fact that such things were accomplished by conservatives belies this theory...its intended affect is to route all positive change/success to liberals

and distribution of wealth is socialism:

Socialism refers to group of ideologies and political movements with the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community.[1] This control may be either direct—exercised through popular collectives such as workers' councils—or indirect—exercised on behalf of the people by the state.

Mr. Mail order! LOL

you are on drugs if you think that "conservatives" ended slavery and passed women's suffrage.... and you really do need to understand the difference between the words "conservative" and "republican". Nixon was the latter, NOT the former.
