Find for me anywhere that shows conservative going for progress. I keep seeing them in denial, trying to regress our growth and take us back to where we were right before world war 2, you know when our economy collapsed due to conservative ideas and it took a great Liberal leader to fix the problem and get growth going again and progress started up once more.
I look back at history and see more growth and progress happening when the liberals are power. We keep getting held back by conservative thinking which does not at all deal with the real needs of the people and the society as a whole. I have yet to see this current administration do one damn thing that benefits the average man or promotes real growth and progress. yet I sw signs of growth and progress everywhere during the Clinton administration.

Oddly, this can be said much more accurately of liberals!
The proof is how the Congressional Democrats conduct themselves as if they were still in the majority, a position of power they lost in 1998.
I also wrote on this in one of my blogs. To summarize and put it in this context: Liberals are all for preserving the status quo, not changing anything, providing what is in place is to their liking. Conservatives want change and progress.

older than that
i've said that in 19TH CENTURY REPUBLICANS IN THE 21ST
much of these ideas predate the Great Depression, and much of what the Republicans have resurrected was mainly responsible for that worldwide disaster.
We can see history repeating itself today.
their ideas kept the U.S. economy flat and depressed. Liberal ideas, such as minimum wage, social security, etc, have been mainly responsible for the great periods of affluence in the U.S.
It must be admitted however, that WWII was resonsible for pulling usout of the Great Depression in a big way. People had jobs and factories went full tilt. Money was available to circulate through the economy.
Yet the Fifties showed the greatest expansion of the century, mainly through the greater wealth of the average worker that bought houses and automobiles and all the things that money could buy. We are still standing on the foundation laid down by this prosperity.
And yet, as we speak, it seems the Adminstration, responding to the whining of Corporate America, is instrumental in allowing all the worker benefits to be eroded. They forget that this erosion of wealth for the average American will also show up in less spending.
"consumer confidence" really means how much money the average American has to spend. That is slipping.
We continue to support an archaic system from the 1800's and we will never progress in the 2000's.
