Throughout the 40's, 50's and 60's (when civil rights started coming to a head), it was republican reforms that led to women and blacks gaining more and more rights.
And then you woke up!

Great Democrat achievements in modern times: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, health care for all poor children, repeal of DADT, reform of student loan industry to make college less expensive, women's right to choose, Health Care Reform making health care a right not a privilege etc, etc, etc. All programs taking the US into the 21th century From the republicans the legacy of the last 30 years beginning with Reagan
debt and stagnant wages , wealth concentrated in upper incomes to the detriment of the middle class, war ad nauseam, obstruction of remedies to climate change don't expect the republicans to absorb this . but most people of at least average intelligence know this. Democrats care about people and want to insure that ALL people live in dignity that is our ideology...not exactly mean spirited Here you go jaiper..your op out medicare form https://www.cahabagba.com/part_b/forms/OptOutAffidavit.pdf -

"In the early 1940s, the Republican Party and then the Democratic Party added support of the Equal Rights Amendment to their platforms. Alice Paul rewrote the ERA in 1943 to what is now called the "Alice Paul Amendment," reflecting the 15th and the 19th Amendments: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex" From this site: http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/era.htm Looks like, just like everything else, the Dems jumped on the bandwagon when they saw something cool

As many states suggest that medicaid will banktrupt them due to the maindate from Obamacare, I am wondering how that is perceived as a "democratic " achievement : :

This is stunning:44 percent of Social Security recipients, and 40 percent of Medicare recipients, believe that they don?t benefit from any government social program....they are dumb and republican
most of those people are probably on Medicare...well, here's your opt out form: https://www.cahabagba.com/part_b/forms/OptOutAffidavit.pdf -
NY Times is only exceed by Daily KOS as far as producing skewed 'leftist' purulent sputum...FOX is statistically the number one news station...which means that despite the claims of Dems and extreme leftists (basically two different parties as far as I'm concerned), they watch that station for their news information

I watched Fox News a few times and didn't mind what they were saying, agreed with it, in fact. They're capable of being unbiased and objective when they want to be. Sometimes the talking heads on there have even expresssed some liberal sentiments. But there have been a few times I watched it and didn't like it and disagreed. That goes for CNN, too. I don't have cablevision now, and feel more peaceful and serene by not watching 24 hour news shows anymore, with all their screaming and hollaring and obsessing over one "big story" ad nauseam. Although sometimes I miss not seeing them.

Don't get me wrong...I know FOX has a couple of blow hard extreme right (can you say 'Hannity')...who I don't listen with any more seriousness than I would an extreme leftist...but by in large, I think they're fair - and it's funny they get labeled by the left to something other than that.

Faux News is where all the ditto heads go (I didn't say all who go there are ditto heads, just that that's where they all go) that's why their ratings are high but they are dropping. Everyone else is spread over the other outlets and may watch a variety of news programs.

And the Daily KOS is where all the leftist extremist - such as white supremacist groups - go to cohabitate...proven by the fact that Eli Whitney is one of their early founding 'heroes'

What have you been smoking? Daily Kos was founded by Markos who is hispanic and we have all races part of the group. In fact diversity is our strength. Seriously richn , you are way out of reality...that's really sad
