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?

Oh my god, you are wrong on every sningle point- no wonder the sound of crickets, what else do you hear when somone stands up , and proudly make a complete fool of themselves? it is the sound of incredulity.
The ACA is not an accomplishment, it is another expensive failure. The fact that you all wish to call ti it the ACA and NOT obamacare- a term he himself used at the begging, no longer wishing to have his name associated with it any longer, is proof enough.
Social Security is an insolvent Ponsi scheme that has been constantly raided to fund ever bigere gi overnement and among other travesty's and broken laws and promises, they have constantly moved the goal posts because the people who paid into it have had the gaul to live long enough to get some back.
Lincoln, and the very concept of anti-slavery and federal rights, were conservative in nature, they wished to conserve the country and not dissolve it. Was a war against southern democrats- that you lost.
The interstate system, was a reaction to the observation of WW2 generals in the sound military concept of moving troops and supplies easily and efficiently across a huge nation of a haphazard network of centuries old roads and bridges. The road to Alaska, which was essentially land locked, is another example. Not many liberals in the military then or now.
Give me a liberal or democrat that thought and acted like Kennedy, and any of us I'd vote for him. He was a democrat, who asked conservatives to get the US to the moon. Not one astronaut was a 1960's pot smokin, viet nam soldier spitting, flower-power liberal, nor were the guys with pocket protectors and slide rules who designed, built and launched us into space. Liberals were at woodstock. IN fact the constant liberal chant was, millions in space while people starve.
The founding fathers were against big centralized government, were for individual rights, and expected people to pull their own weight and see to their own ends, a central government eyed with suspicion and only there because of necessity. They trusted individuals, liberals do not. They were NOT liberal in your sense of the word. Conservatives, especially Constitutional conservatives like myself, wish to keep what they built intact, liberals suffer from the belief that they were wrong, and that they in their armchairs at home, could improve it.
Liberals are good at spending other peoples money, and hiding behind other peoples bravery.
