Every political and social advancement that has improved the lives of ordinary Americans over the past 72 years has been the work of liberals and was opposed by conservatives. From Social Security to legal protection for trade unions to the minimum wage and OSHA to civil rights to voting rights to student loans to environmental protection, all liberal programs. I don’t get it. [/list](emphasis supplied)

Yeah, I'll give you some discussion. See the charts supplied by our Dear Leader herself last week for what has happened over the last 72 years. Some blogger wants to call this social advancement? All I see from my view is increased incarceration, a higher violence rate, higher taxes, a higher abortion rate, a higher divorce rate, a higher teenage pregnancy rate, etc. etc. etc. Lets see, 72 years=1932, right?
Social Security won't be around for us. Trade unions are on their way to extinction due to incredible abuses.
I'll give you the characterization for minimum wage, bite me for the civil rights (hate is not a "conservative" trait"... don't believe me just go visit Chicago or the Northeast Democrat areas), student loans are a massive fraud that is trapping America's youth into debt for large portions of their working lives, environmental protection only works when the conservative economic models are invoked (i.e., tax people for the burdens they impose on others/society... such as with pollution vouchers).
And so on and so on.
So yeah, you guys got the minimum wage. Congratuflippinlations, geniuses. Do you want the other 50% of my check, or have you run out of ways to spend my money yet?
He(b-b-but, the blogger started it, maaaa)llo
