Interstate highways omg – It's a government take over of the road system!!!!! Public TV?? FREE?? are you kidding..?. that's communism!

Listen folks – public tv, public education, the internet – notice something many if not all of the items on this list have in common? We decided as people that a basic level of existence is necessary for ALL people if we want to advance as a country.

Who would do such a thing? Who would think such a crazy thought? That we would all do better if everyone's basic necessities were met? A liberal – EVERY SINGLE TIME – Republican minds don't even go that direction.

When anyone says 'That's a good idea.. it's so good we should make it available to everyone.' -

That – is a liberal. – and without them…. well, for one, me and you wouldn't be chatting like this right now.

Interstate Highways: Ike = Republican. If you give some 30s liberal credit for the interstates, I'll give Nixon credit for ObamaCare
So-So security: Ponzi scheme, bankrupt
The Civil rights movement: Dems tried to kill it, failed
Wilson: paved the way for Hitler's achievements
Internet: I'll give you that one. Thanks, Al Gore.
American Public Education system: FAIL, c.f. the rest of the industrialized world.
Hoover Dam: You guys are taking credit for Herbert Hoover now? Cool!

@ john p: even if only half the list is true (which is an understatement), the progressive movement has championed most of the health, safety, labor, education and consumer initiatives that most people take for granted.

Are you kidding me?

The Hoover Dam, The Marshall Plan...?
Fight against Nazis, Fascism and Totalitarianism...????
Liberals who (nearly) exclusively populated the American Bund Party & Communist Party ranks fought Franklin Delano Roosevelt's support of England, Lend Lease, as well as, our entrance into WW II; with protests, fire bombs & riots; that is, until Mother Russia was attacked by Hitler's Armies.

You're suggesting George C. Marshall, Eisenhower, Hoover & Wilson were Liberals?
They absolutely detested left-wingers/ liberals?
Truman you've also included as a liberal, our first Cold-War Era President????

What part of Farcical do you not understand?

They were Democrats, in no manner similar to the Liberal dominated Democratic Party of today, an in many instances were more conservative than their Republican counterparts.

Who-ever posted this rubbish, if a journalist, should be ashamed of his/her - self for a complete distortion/convolution of historical fact/s an a total disregard for honesty and fairness in their reporting!

I suppose it is just a sign of our times: Creative left - wing journalistic nonsense.. If you write/compose and print a story an you're a Liberal writer or journalist - it must be true! No surprise here;

The Obama Administration flourishes in that form of journalist gymnastics!

How about J. Edgar Hoover? CAN you figure out a way to claim he too was a liberal?

Great list. Don’t forget that rural areas are getting high speed internet in the coming years too, because of another liberal project.
