Why Are Conservatives Always On The Wrong Side Of History

Do conservatives ever feel they are on the wrong side of history?

No. Because over and again history shows that liberal policies cause heartache and death. Every war and mass genocide in history was perpetrated by a liberal. Let that sink in and then ask who is on the wrong side of history. Almost every serious problem we now experience in the United States stem from the liberal reforms of Wilson, FDR and LBJ.A few highlights—Institutional racism is a leftover of Wilson’s official sanction of government segregation. Wilson and FDR supported Jim Crow laws. FDR made it illegal to hire people of African-American, Hispanic and Asian descent. FDR even went so far as to deport Hispanic American Citizens and put Asian and Italian Citizens in camps. LBJ continued institutional racism with a policy of using racial politics (you also have to blame Nixon for continuing this) as a cornerstone of building a Democratic Party base. Have you ever seen the squalor of federal housing projects which liberals referred to as “voter farms.”The shrinking of the middle class and the lessening of upward mobility in the United States is directly tied to Wilson’s support of the income tax, FDR’s embrace of that tax and adding Social Security to it and LBJ’s “Guns and Butter” strategy making the income tax a permanent feature of American life. Two income families are now the norm because one income is needed to pay the tax burden.The health care cost problems in the Untied States are a direct result of FDR tying health insurance and shifting health costs to employers. LBJ threw gasoline on this fire by creating Medicare and Medicaid. Health care costs are now not controlled by what people can afford to pay but are set by the seemingly unending pockets of large corporations and government.Just to note—WWI— WilsonWWII— FDRVietnam— LBJHow much blood is on their hands?Ask now who is on the wrong side of history? These are just the highlights from three administrations. You could fill volumes to describe the death, destruction and suffering caused by liberals and liberal policies. I guess the only way you may be able to describe conservatives as on the wrong side of history is that they are often the victims of liberal aggression.

Who is more often on the “right side of history,” conservatives or progressives?

Since conservative opposes change and progressives embraces it, it’s not that hard to figure out: It’s progressives. If we had conservatives decide everything we’d still be stuck in the late 18th century.But only if you actually use the words to mean what they actually mean, which is often not how it’s used. For example, communists are often called progressives, when communism advocates revolution, and progressivism advocates reform. And communists are definitely on the wrong side of history.Likewise, the word “conservative” is often used to denote somebody that is for free trade, which is actually a progressive position, but since Republicans used to be for free trade in the 70’s and also call themselves conservatives, sometimes people think free trade is conservative.And this muddles the question enough to there not actually being a useful answer, unless you define “progressives” and “conservatives” in a clear manner.A more useful question is actually who has been more often on the right side of history of major ideologies, like socialism, liberalism, communism, conservatism, fascism, etc.And the answer is liberalism. Liberals already back in mid 1800’s proposed a democratic, capitalist society with progressive taxes, free trade, health care for all, education for all and a social safety net.And it’s completely insane that these things are still being discussed as if they are controversial in the USA. They aren’t anywhere else. Liberals won every single of those “debates” simply by reality proving them right every time.
