Newman: "...if someone has a liberal success story please post it..."
1. Child Labor Laws - prior to "the liberals" fighting for this law, children under the age of twelve worked deep in coal mines and in sweat shops, for no minimum wage and often on 12 to 16 hour long shifts.
2. The Right for Workers To Organize for Their Rights. - prior to "the liberal leftist socialists" fighting (quite literally, with clubs and guns and dynamite and fists as well as lawyers) for the right to bargain with employers over their contracts, workers were quite literally serf/slaves to employers. They were forced to live in socialist style barrack housing on the property of the employer's factory. They had no vacation time/ time off, no maximum hours/week above which the employers had to pay overtime, the only medical care available to them was "The Company Doctor", employed on premises, who never found anything wrong with any worker which would prevent them going back to the mines or mills. Workers were only able to purchase all of their family necessities at "The Company Store", always "on credit" because their paltry salaries wouldn't even come close to supporting life, resulting in a perpetual "state of slavery"; the worker could not ever stop working until the day he died, because he was in debt to the employer's "Company Store" his entire life. When he finally died from overwork and abuse, the employer took his children into the mines or mills to work because the surviving family was legally required to pay off their father's debt to "The Company".
Do you want me to continue, Newman?
Or...have you had enough?
And, don't come back at me with "that's not the liberals you're talking about", because at the time of those acts and laws being passed, anyone in favor of them was denounced as "Communists", "Traitors", "Atheist G-d Haters", "Destroyers of Free Enterprise, etc. etc...
As a matter of fact, Newman, ...less than 100 years ago Company owners often employed full time thugs & killers as their own personal private "police force", who would murder workers and beat them with clubs and chains for any reason whatsoever...all with legal impunity. In the name of "free enterprise".
Shall I continue with the "liberal laws" passed to outlaw working conditions which were dangerous to life and health?
How about "universal education" laws demanding children be schooled until the age of 16? Another "liberal socialist" scheme (at least the "conservatives" of the time said so).
As a matter of fact, Newman, I'd go so far as to say that everything you hold dear to your life today, is due 100% to the actions of "liberals" responsible for what all we in the West today know as "Modern Civilization".
The American Founding Fathers also were denounced by every Monarch in the world.
All other countries believed that Monarchs ruled by Divine Right granted to them to do anything and everything they pleased to their subjects directy by G-d and His Son Jesus Christ! The Natural Order of Things as they saw it, and anyone questioning them was a "liberal" "criminal" "atheist" "anti-Christ".
Don't mistake traitors and mentally ill sociopaths as being one and the same as liberals, and don't mistake Republicans for conservatives or mistake Democrats for liberals. There is no such relationship. Democrat President John F. Kennedy was more conservative than any one of the entire Republican Party leadership today.
