"My challenege to you. Name just one major issue of the 20th century where the conservatives were right and the liberals were wrong."

I hope you don't think I am trying to persuade you to switch sides or that the side you are on is wrong. I don't see any reason for a person who sees the good being done on their side of things to switch. After all, in football a tight end shouldn't switch to be a defensive tackle just because he sees the defensive line as doing a lot of good. His goal should be to improve his speed, agility, and catching skills.

"Just one issue!! You will not find one!"

Any position can only be measured by how nearly it approaches perfection. All have room for criticism, and as circumstance changes the solutions of one generation become the problems of the next. Which is why we can take a perspective on most issues and criticize or support depending on the perspective you take and the current conditions. With that in mind, I can think of reasons to support or criticise conservative platforms or liberal platforms. There isn't any absolute right and wrong in party politics, except from an extremist perspective.
