Oh, as to your link, it amuses me that all the pictures of "firsts" are all from prior to 1964, which as we have already gone over, is a period where there were conservative and liberal wings of both Republican and Democrat parties.
I'm not even saying Democrats have always been on the right side.
But what I am saying is that liberals, progressives, however you like to call it, have been the ones pushing for civil rights. Lincoln was a liberal. Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal. Nelson Rockefeller was a liberal.
Hell, as I've said, at this point, in the modern insanity that is the Tea Party dominated Republican party, Goldwater would seem liberal. Bob Dole couldn't get elected shit anymore.
Thats what people don't seem to get. Our current President isn't even a liberal, much less a socialist. He's a centrist, and slightly center right at that (if not straight up right.. I'm sure some of our European brothers who are actual Socialists would make the assertion he's on the right wing).
Sorry, Krellin. Conservatives have stood against human progress since... well, forever. Definitely since we had a modern political system (you know, the French Revolution, when the conservatives at the time wanted those damn common people to shut up and pay the taxes for the rich aristocrats).
You're on the wrong side of history. Sorry.
