[quote="southpaw";p="93938"]FF has really taken the college experience hook, line, and sinker! Do you have any orginal thoughts anymore? Are you just going to regurgitate everything your profs tell you? How cavalier to say that conservatives believe in the status quo and liberal are these enlightened progressives.
The truth is one of the most famous filibusters in history was condcuted by DEMOCRATS and led by Robert KKK Byrd to block that holy grail of liberalism the Civil Rights Act. The same Robert KKK Byrd that supported the "nuclear option" when the Democrats were in power in the Senate. Guess who voted to pass LBJ's civil right bill, the status quo republicans.
Remember the GOP Freed the slaves when the democrats wanted to maintain the status quo of slavery!
What about now? Social Security? Abortion? Sounds like the liberals want to maintain the status quo while the repubicans are coming up with progressive ideas.[/quote]
Of course, there was then this tidbit, which I find pretty insulting. I mean, somebody trying to tell you that they think you're brainwashed to hold a point of view different than their point of view isn't exactly a complement.....
