Clean Water Act
Gays in the Military
Ban on cigarette adds on TV
Integration
Some of these are 10 years some 50.

Edit: Nixon signed the legislation banning cigarette ads 46 years ago.

I said some were 50 years ago.
Nixon proved that in the past it was possible for a republican president to go against the conservative base for the good of the country.
And no one likes dirty air and water, that's why it's so bizarre that the acts were so vigorously opposed by conservatives. Go figure. But now they see they were wrong then. That's my point.
Are you talking about Conservatives or Republicans here? I'm confused.I said some were 50 years ago.

I think the Obamas have done a great job and conducted themselves in a way befitting the president and first lady. They will always be remembered for their class and grace even in the face of people like the ones that are about to have some kind of racist/bigoted response to this post.
Republicans try to slow the inevitable progress of society and they have succeeded for now. But remember, they are only slowing progress, not reversing or even stopping progress.
What conservatives fought against 30 years ago, they now whole heartedly support. What they fight against today, will be the things they support in 2046.
Give them time, they always come around eventually. I'm sure everyone has an old aunt or uncle that's like that.
