I said one Thing, so let's look at the first one. Social security is nothing but a slush fund for the government. It's just about bankrupt. And since we're forced to pay into it, instead of saving for our own retirement, millions of Americans will never see a return on their investment. So it has actually done more harm than good. Try again.

And why did you include civil rights? Look up the congressional voting records on civil rights bills. Democrats overwhelmingly voted against them. Are you really that stupid? Rhetorical question, I know. No need for you to answer.

Kevyn, These rednecks want to go back to the days when those ‘others’ knew their place and didn’t complain about having their rights under the Constitution denied. I guess they miss the days of the their mob, hiding under white sheets, could march on DC, or when they could complain or restrict the religion of others. On the other hand, since the clean air and water acts or peace attempts in the middle East weren’t cited they must approve them . But more to be said later, when the smellfungus return to their karst.

You asked about the accomplishments of liberals, the southern democrats who voted against civil rights were not liberals. Are you really so stupid that you don’t know that.
