GI Bill= pay people to kill foreigners

New Deal= Spent a trillion or so to relieve poverty. Still have poverty.

Social Security= Take money from working people against their will and give it back to them 40-50 years later. Social Security is now broke.

Are these supposed to be things the left did that was good?

Democrats had control of Congress for decades.

They had the Congress, Senate and Presidency for the first 2 years of Obama.

But it's Republicans fault? lol.

The left is always bitching about infrastructure. Infrastructure is not a problem in this country. I can get in my car and go anywhere I want with no problems. So can you. It aint a problem.

They were not limiting the monarchy they were creating a brand new limited government. They could have created a monarchy if they had wanted to. lol

They is money to be found, and if not maybe look at ways of bring in more of it, slash regulation, maybe allow people to spend their money any way they see fit, gambling, drugs and selling of the intimate self should be allowed.

The US Constitution, and in particular the Bill of Rights, was in essence a right-wing document, insofar as right wing=individualism and limited government, as opposed to left wing=collectivism and bigger government. The Constitution was the schematic for the greatest nation in the history of the world. Starting about 100 years ago under Woodrow Wilson we began chipping away at it, and it's probably a matter of time before "American Exceptionalism" is a dead letter. In the past, the wealthiest regions in America were places like New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Silicon Valley--centers of innovation, finance, and manufacturing. Now the richest region is Washington DC, the center of rent-seeking.

I have to know, what is your stance on immigration?

Why are you guy coming on this thread if you don't even know what right wing means. Being to the right means you accept social inequality. What does freeing the slaves have to do with accepting social inequality. You guys are as dishonest as your politicians.

You don't get to define right wing to your own definitions. Oh, and the way, your definition is wrong.
