Liberals contributed more to America than Conservatives

If it was implied then I apologize for being too dumb to know that. I thought economic contributions matter to America but I could be mistaken. Now let's get to the nitty gritty stuff Pro has displayed to us: He argues that the "Liberal" government ended slavery... The party that legislated this was the party we called before and after the Republican Party who temporarily named themselves the National Union Party [http://rmc.library.cornell.edu...] as a publicity stunt to gain votes from unionists. Now, Pro states in Round 1 that Republican is not necessarily conservative and vice versa for Democrats but failed to give a single shred of evidence that the Republican Party under its alias was even remotely "Liberal"in any policy other than the abolition of slavery. If anything all that Pro has proven is that conservatives are far more open to the concepts of Liberalism than the narrow minded Liberals are to the policies of Conservatism. I think we can agree that a party showing open-mindedness to ideas that contradict many of their other values is not a hypocrite but rather an adapting party who not only change their name and ideology based on circumstance but always seek what is best for the nation rather than best for their beliefs to be thrust upon those who oppose them like many Liberals love to do to homophobes and pro-lifers. Pro then states that the Liberal government gave us Civil Rights. What Pro is correct on is that the Democratic Party's Lyndon Baines Johnson legislated this [http://www.lbjlibrary.org...] but, from that very same source, you will find that Johnson was born and bred in Texas no less... Texas... Liberal... Not really, albeit possible. Aside from this matter is the further matter that if Pro states that the Republican Party can be considered Liberal without a shred of evidence then I absolutely entitled to off-handedly claim that the Democrats were conservative. Pro has the full burden of proof in this debate after all. Following this, Pro states that public education was something that the Liberal government "gave us". Firstly, Pro admits that all Conservative states must have agreed to this legislation. Secondly, it was the centrist Thomas Jefferson who enforced the two-track system of Private Public to settle the matter, it was neither a liberal nor conservative individual who did this, albeit Massachusetts being the guinea pig state for the "beta program".[https://www.raceforward.org...] Clean air and water? Seriously? Since when are Green Party "Liberals"? They lean slightly to the Left but that's hardly enough to label them 'Liberals' with certainty; especially if Pro is saying that Democrats can be considered conservative and Republicans Liberal. Clean and safe food is not due to Liberals at all. How is that to do with Liberalism? Roads destroy nature and encourage air pollution from cars and increase obesity rates due to lack of cycling and walking being used as legitimate modes of transport. Guess what this takes away; "clean air" and the acid rain resulting from this prevents "clean water" and the toxic drinks being fed to farm animals let alone humans results in not so "clean food and health" Oopsy daisy! Which is it, Pro? Enlighten us. Medicaid and Social Security created a ton of benefits scroungers, hardly the prime example of great contributions of Liberals. You must first prove this to be positive or even something that is a contribution rather than a temporary solution to the bigger issue of unemployment.# Consumer protectionism is not a Liberal prerogative; it is a conservative one. The concept of unbreakable contracts between each client and their supplier or goods provider. Liberals would say 'awww let the cutiepies be!', Conservatives say 'lock 'em up whit no food for a week and see how much they will ensure all customers are treated fairly and to the written letter. I'm not even going to go into how the other Acts are more detrimental than beneficial as Pro has full burden of proof. However, I would like to remind you of what the Conservatives contribute to society. When you're homeless ON A SUNDAY do you think the welfare office is open? No, you can sleep on a god damn bench for all they care. Who's the one place that would care for you as long as you respected their ways and beliefs? A church. When you're scared and alone who's going to have your corner more, a public defender or that self-made millionaire private attorney who started form the bottom and fought his/her way up the food chain? The American dream itself is a conservative-type one.
