Every time? From economic issues to social issues to environmental issues. History tends to bear out the liberal/progressive perspective. They're driving this planet into the ground.

After all, it is all the liberal media and Neil Tyson.

here is our first black president. His accomplishments are unprecedented. He has done more for Americans than any president I know. To name a few: He hunted down and killed Bin Laden, when Bush didn't even have him in his radar, and didn't give a shit. He has now instituted a successful national health care system, when no one in the past has even come close. Just these two things, are unbelievable. Obama will go down in history as the best president in over a century.

And still, the GOP still fights him tooth and nail to stop him at every crossing. Spreading lies and supporting obstructionism. And it was all because he was an inexperienced black man. Imagine what would have been done if the GOP would have played along. This will be the demise of the GOP in 2016. Their racism and ignorance will bite them in the ass, big time.

There is no doubt the GOP is in desperation mode. They have no answers to the ACA, so they trash it. They have no answers on creating jobs, so they ignore the jobs bills that have come from the Left. They are a do-nothing party that only wants to hate progress and this president. My whole family that I grew up with leans heavily to the right. My 90 year old mother watches Faux News and praises the likes of Medicare and Social Security. I have told her she is a closet Democrat and considers that an insult. All the GOP wants is to lower taxes. That's all they have. NO NEW TAXES!!! It will be their demise.

La-la-la-la I can't hear you!

Those who do notice it will dismiss it as a "liberal conspiracy."
