150 Achievements Of Liberalism That Conservatives Seek To Destroy
By Stephen D. Foster Jr May 12, 2012
According to virtually any conservative today, the government has been just one big liberal establishment. The current extremists that own and operate the GOP are hell bent on destroying anything and everything that even has a hint of liberalism or progressivism in it, even if Republicans helped pass it. So what would America be like without liberals and progressives? Here is a list of programs, legislation, and achievements that we would not have if extreme right wingers had their way. Some items on this list were indeed passed or created by Republicans, but that doesn’t make them conservative achievements. It only means that at one time, Republicans favored liberalism and progressivism or that they were willing to work with Democrats for the common good.
1. The 40-hour work week. 2. Weekends 3. Vacations 4. Women’s Voting Rights 5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 6. The right of people of all colors to use schools and facilities. 7. Public schools. 8.
