We should be like all those successful conservative nations without a deficit.

What are their names again?

No, it was the left who brought about civil rights. It just happened in the 1960's during a party shift, so that Republicans from urban areas who were on the left joined with Democrats from urban areas to push through civil rights legislation, while Republicans and Democrats from rural areas fought the civil rights legislation.

Even a casual perusal of the supporters and opponents of the civil rights legislation will bear out the fact that legislators representing more urban districts were supporters of civil rights legislation, and legislators representing more rural districts were opponents. Party affiliation was not the primary characteristic on this particular piece of legislation.

The left does not understand the difference between a safety net and life long enslavement

Care to tell me what the difference is, seeing you don't think our safety nets are safety nets.

What is your take on this..
That you're quite the hypocrite for flying the abolitionist flag after posting this about Lincoln:

A safety net I s a temporary save as a person picks himself up not a generational family enslavement to the government

Learn to think for yourselves.
People who are capable of thinking for themselves don't have to resort to name-calling and insults to get their point(s) across.

Your comment makes no sense since many social programs have time limits on benefits.

The Republican party Pass the 1964 Civil rights Act, which was passed on a similar bill they tried to pass in 1960 and 3 years before in 1957.

Mean while the left wants to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment, reward illegal immigrates which amnesty and the ability to vote(I wonder which party they will choose), and paint anyone who stands in their way as "Racist" "Nazis" or "Domestic Terrorist"

Why does the Left lie about History, their will, and their intent? is it because no sane person would vote for them?(but then again that might be we they are importing 30,000,000 million illegals on top of 1.2,000,000 legal immigrated, to "Cast ballots Americans just are not willing to cast")

What is your take on this..
That you have no idea what the Left means when it says "right wing", they mean conservatives, not just the members of the Republican Party.

The Republican Party also did not pass the 1964 Civil Rights act. Democrats controlled The Presidency and both Houses of Congress and a majority of Democrats in both houses voted for those acts.

illegal immigrates have neither amnesty or the ability to vote nor has anyone even proposed giving them either.

Your entire post is based on you being intellectually dishonest,but that is what you were planning on doing all along.
