Where did you go to school imbizzle?

I've been saying pretty much the same thing for years on this board. You guys always fight the losing fight of American progress.

Man, nobody pays you any attention anymore Torchy. C'mon, you know that!

LULZ... Internet memes.

Not that any of this really deserves a response mind you but this guy was a flaming liberal, democrat, and filibustered the voting rights act... So already there is one big thing wrong with the meme you posted..

Oh, psh, that must have been back before he came around and changed his political affiliation. Yeah, that's when he was still a Conservative. Uh huh.

I hope nobody reads that and actually thinks its correct. Applying today's ideologies to the past and trying to claim this or that is often wrong, this being a perfect example.

So, you're saying that the Republican party (Lincoln's party) supported slavery and it was the Democrats that pushed through
the abolition?

As far as giving Black's the vote :

"convinced a majority of Republicans that protecting the franchise of black voters was important for the party's future. After rejecting more sweeping versions of a suffrage amendment, Congress proposed a compromise amendment banning franchise restrictions on the basis of race, color, or previous servitude on February 26, 1869. The amendment survived a difficult ratification fight and was adopted on March 30, 1870."

That doesn't sound like Liberals.

That kind of debunks 2 of the first 3. I haven't bothered researching the rest.

actually, there are many fallacies with your little meme but I'll put it into perspective for you.


Liberals won = Rome fell.

You are stuck on current party labels. The republicans of the 1860s were liberals and the democrats of the 1860s were conservatives.

The very nature of conservatism is to attempt to keep things as they are but you can't stop progress.

So Conservatives are always going to be on the wrong side of history.

But that assumes that all "progress" is good. We've been around thousands of years. If all "progress" were good, we'd be living in Nirvana by now. And we're not. So I'm guessing that all that "progress" isn't a good thing.
