The ACA was not a conservative accomplishment. Medicare and Medicaid were not conservative accomplishments. The Voting Rights Act was not a conservative accomplishment. The Space Program was not a conservative accomplishment. The Interstate Highway System wan not a conservative accomplishment. Social Security was not a conservative accomplishment. Recovering from the Great Depression was not a conservative accomplishment. The Emancipation Proclamation (an executive order) was not a conservative accomplishment. Indeed, "We the People" would still be British subjects had the Founding Fathers been conservatives. So let's hear it. What have been the great conservative accomplishments in our history?

An eerie silence falls over the Conservative Community as they search for something they've done.
Then when all else fails, they'll simply attack you and call you names.

Isn't there such a thing as compassionate conservatism? I've never seen it but I've heard the phrase. I guess "compassionate" is when you fight for a fertilized egg but want to shoot refugee children...

As expected! This should be fun. Thanks!

No, the ACA will prove to be a Democratic failure, But the rest of your spew is only partially factual as you again try and claim republican history, funny how dems think that Lincoln who was responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation was one of theirs, he was definitely a republican. The Interstate Highway system was built by Eisenhower, another republican who also formed NASA.... oops! I guess you did not fact check yourself. The recovery from the Depression had little to do with FDR's failed economic programs and everything to do with WWII and the economy that followed, as far as recovery goes the country suffered until after the war. As far as the voting rights act,

Just like the Civil rights bill Johnson turned to the republicans because without them he would have not been able to pass the bill, if you look at the voting tally's, the republicans give stronger support to Johnson's civil rights legislation than did the democrats.


Indeed, you are full of yourself as are most liberals so full of yourself that you think that you are deserving of history that is not your own.... but believe me, we want you to keep your ACA.... we want nothing to do with it.

Just as a starter it seems to me that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by none other than Abraham Lincoln, a Republican POTUS. Now how you can claim that as a Liberal accomplishment is beyond me.

"Compassionate conservative" was Bush code for, "I'm a liberal"! And you are right, it did a lot of harm, most of which you guys blame him for all the time!

And, if we conservatives didn't have any fertilized eggs, there wouldn't be any children for us to shoot so there is a method to our madness! We like breathing dirty air and drinking dirty water to. We think it's funny when our own children convulse on the floor!

Thanks. Feel free to jump into the fray. I'm sure we can have some fun with this one! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Liberals believe that their disease is transparent to the rest of the Kool-Aid drinkers. To those with common sense, they can safely ignore the boondoggles and traps. Liberals and atheists have surprising common heritage, but no common sense.

When's the last time you heard a liberal pay for lunch? (Only if the garbage truck stops moving.) :) :) :)

We should recognize that Lincoln and Eisenhower, while they were Republicans of their time, would hardly be accepted as such by the current Republican party, which has been so far skewed to the lunatic fringe right that genuine Republicans of only 20 or 30 years ago would hardly realize it. Richard Nixon, for example, brought about the EPA, a favorite whipping boy of the current Repubs; he also advocated a national health care system and a national living wage. Horrors! Eisenhower, as previously noted, began NASA and the interstate highway system, surely despicable examples of "big gummint." Even St Ronald, the supposed icon of today's Repubs, was willing to work across the aisle, and RAISED TAXES numerous times.

you are an idiot or maybe just ignorant of history. The Republican party started in 1860...WAS the progressive party. Not only would Lincoln not recognize today's GOP, but even Reagan would be shaking his head in disgust.

Ah, last I looked Eisenhower was a Republican!

Ah, last I looked Lincoln was a Republican!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation
And it didn't mean squat until the Republicans wrote the civil rights amendment over the objections of the racist white Democrats! And on and on and on!

As an eerie silence fell over the room!
