There is a shred of truth in what you say. Certainly not about what liberals have accomplished vs. conservatives. Those facts remain.

But as far as dividing the parties. Wow, I didn’t know I was so powerful, but there is the kernel of truth in what you say.

I used a poor choice of words when talking about republicans and democrats. I should have stuck with liberals vs. conservatives. Because there were conservative democrats who were not in favor of civil rights, women’s, rights, gay right etc. Many of those were southern democrats who later found that the republicans more closely matched their views than did the democrats. Hnece the solidly republican south of today.

And there have been liberal republicans such as Nelson Rockefeller and even in many ways Nixon and Roosevelt, who bucked the conservative wing of their party to support parks, environmental protections and battled against overpowerful corporations.

Today the ultra conservatives have damn nearly purged their party of moderates and I doubt there are any liberal republicans left in national offices. But I should have acknowledged that democrats can be conservative and at one time republicans could have been liberals. Today I am sure Ronald Reagan would be branded a RINO by the current crop of tea party conservatives.
