I'm pretty sure that's what old white men said in...
1782
1825
1863
1900
1910
1920
1930
1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they will be saying that in 2036.
Liberalism has ruined a great many things such as.....
A man's right to enslave another
The ability to keep women from voting
A company's ability to work children 80 hours a week for almost no wage
Factories ability to pollute with no regard
Drug companies ability to sell tainted and untested drugs
A state's ability to enforce segregate schools
the list goes on and on........
Imagine for a few moments what the world would be like today if populated only by people of color.

First off the computers we are typing on wouldnt exist, neither would the electricity to power them, and neither would the university that enables these dumb professors.
And that barely scratches the surface.
You obviously don't understand the difference between classical liberalism and the modern version that is a communist dictator wolf in liberal sheeps clothing.
*I understand very well. You obviously don;t understand that the mentality of the redneck throwing rocks at the buses bringing in black children during desegregation, the priorities of the man who fought against giving women the right to vote, and the ignorance of the person against gay marriage are EXACTLY the same as the mentality, priorities, and ignorance of the far right anti liberal people of today.
You can't hide from that...no matter how you try to spin it.

You forgot play-doh and crayola would be out of business
Countless puppies would have no one to hold them
People in New York would be fat again because they wouldn't be restricted on Sosa size
And fwiw, it wasn't the party of the liberals who ended slavery, they voted against it and then formed the kkk.

Women's Suffrage (voting)? 19th Amendment presented by Republicans and voted down by a Democratically controlled congress. Finally ratified 40 years later when Republicans won landslide control of Congress.
House Joint Resolution No. 184 (The first legislation to begin the end of Child Labor)? Submitted by Republican, Israel Moore Foster.
Desegregation?
~80% Repubs voted for it.
Less than 70% of Dems voted for it.

I'm referring to the mind set and belief system.
Obviously the republican party is nothing like it once was; it moved from liberal to conservative.
We're talking right vs. left. Liberal vs. conservative.
The liberal side was for granting women the vote and integration.
Why do you think the south went from blue to red?
The liberal side (now democrat) forced all of these changes against the wishes of the conservative side (now republicans).
That is as true as "you must be one of those people who would trow rocks at a busload of kids brought in to integrate an elementary school."
You tell me how true the two statements are.
You believe slavery and denying people rights based on gender or ethnicity is a conservative idea? You need to learn some history. It was the progressives promoting these things. They're the ones who wanted government involved in your life (telling you who could and could not vote, enforcing slavery). They were also huge advocates of eugenics
Do me a favor. Stop assuming you're correct about everything and listen to some of Thomas Sowell's lectures regarding the welfare state.
The issue with liberalism is that they believe they are correct on everything and therefor they should be allowed to hold a gun to your head and force you to do their will. Because their will is always correct.

He/she is completely separated from history. Progressives allied with Hitler in the 20s-40s to develop eugenics programs that would purify the bloodlines (whiteness). Such programs actually passed forced-sterilization legislation in US state gov'ts, and literally force-steralized American citizens! All from self-professed progressive/liberals.
Funny FYI... One of those eugenics organizations became Planned Parenthood, the modern progressive cow bell.
