Don’t be so modest; let’s not forget all of the other accomplishments of the progressive movement. World War 1 and 2, The Korean War, The Vietnam war, Housing Projects, abortion clinics, the destruction of the education system, the war on poverty, the destruction of the family, the hippy movement, 15.5 trillion in debt, filibustering the civil rights amendment (Sen. Lyndon Johnson), Jim Crowe Laws, segregation, separate but equal. Eugenics, Margret Sanger, the Klu Klux Klan, lynching’s, George Wallace, poll taxes.

I could go on and on.

Oh, and if you’re going to take credit for the civil rights amendment you should know that more republicans voted for it than did democrats.

Blacks gained the right to vote from the 15th amendment which was a direct result of the Civil War and who was commander and chief? “Republican” President Abraham Lincoln.

Womens’ right to vote : 82% of Republicans and only 54% of Democrats voted for what became the 19th amendment which is what gave women the right to vote. They tried to fillibuster this too.

I believe that Reagan started deficit spending http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
So were you against our involvement in WWII? Also by many counts the Southern Democrats who contributed most to the negatives you describe are now part of the republican party. Almost all of the conservative southern Democrats went over to the Republican party with Nixon's southern strategy.
So did some democrats vote against the civil rights act, yes but their ideology more closely resembles the republicans then it does the modern Democrats.

We’ve had a national debt since WW 1, Regan contributed to it. You could even argue that he accelerated the spending, but you have to remember that he had a Democrat led congress his entire eight years. It wasn’t until Gingrich became speaker that the deficit spending started coming down. After 9-11 Bush started spending more but he was fighting two wars. But the spending didn’t start getting out of control until 2007 when Nancy Pelosi became speaker and it’s been running out of control ever since. Obama’s been spending like a mad man (read democrat) ever since. Thanks in part to Harry Reid’s refusal to pass a budget we have not been able to get the spending under control since the Republicans regained control the house in 2011.

No I’m not against our involvement in either WW1 or WW2. But I just like to remind democrats who the war mongers are. It makes them crazy.

Nice try, trying to white wash your past. But all of those racist democrats and slave owning democrats are your history not ours. Deal with it.

The modern democrats still believe that blacks are not as capable as their white counterparts. That’s why you insist on having affirmative action, because your kids are smarter than black kids. Blacks need your help getting jobs because they aren’t as good as you. Isn’t that what you believe? So, in other words it doesn’t seem like your beliefs have changed a whole lot in a hundred years have they?

And you're still trying to enslave everybody with socialism.

I think the debt has been out of control since Reagan, but that is mostly a bipartisan effort. I still don't see how if the parties base and position change it is still there history. I would say that it is the history of the South more then anything. The south was where all those things came from and since they switched parties that party is now responsible for that ideology.

As for Affirmative Action I don't personally agree with it because it doesn't work, but I agree with the idea was intended for. I think that there is still discrimination today, but affirmative action goes about it the wrong way, so I suppose we are in agreement there.
