I don’t need any history lessons from a Progressive.  It would be tantamount to Bible Study from an atheist.  Conservative and Liberal means nothing when compared to Right and Wrong.
Democrats not only were the Party of Slavery in the 19th century but the Party of Jim Crow in the 20th Century.  Republicans passed the first Civil Rights Act under President Eisenhower.  Johnson needed Republican support because he didn’t have enough votes form his majority Democratic Party to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  None of these Civil Rights Laws would have been necessary except for Democrats obstructing the rights of Black Americans (Jim Crow Laws). 

Blaming the ACA on the Republicans is a lie. Just because Nixon, Romney and a Republican think-tank floated similar ideas around, the fact is, it needed to be passed into law. The majority Democrat Party forced it down America’s throat without one Republican vote.
Check out California’s unfunded mandates and long term debt. Dead men walking.
