Look at history. If we did not have liberals, we would still be living in the dark ages. It is liberal (open to new ideas) policies that have advanced civilizations. If we always stay with the status quo, we would not have advanced to where we are today.
In America, liberals got women the right to vote, ended slavery, changed medicine for the better, set up our free press, ended child labor, created safer work places and highway safety, created environmental policies, created free schools for all. The list could go on and on.
Let's admit we are all liberal and realize the fallacy of "the good old days" was just that. A fallacy.
Life expectancy has never been longer. Crime rates have never been lower. Our middle class, while now paying a larger percentage of taxes then ever before, has never been larger.
Blaming liberals for our nations faults is our way of not taking responsibility for our own actions.
