Of course I am. The things I asked about ARE liberal ideas and policies so if you're going to claim Lincoln and the GOP of the 1800's as liberals like yourself, why didn't they support your ideas and policies? -------------------- Again, if the Republicans were liberals why didn't they enact all the great liberal ideas during their period of one party rule from the Civil War through the mid-1870's? How is it that they let coal-powered railroads lay track across the continent and let Rockefeller start Standard Oil during this period? The GOP had virtual one party rule from the Civil War through the mid-1870's. The House was Republican controlled till 1874. The Senate till 1878. And the Democrats weren't competitive in Presidential elections till 1876, when Republican Rutherford B Hayes won by one electoral vote. So if northern Republicans were so liberal, why didn't they make the US a liberal paradise when they had the chance? Why didn't the northern liberal Republicans establish gay marriage, transgender bathroom rights in public schools, abolish school prayer, ban crosses from public sight, establish mandatory unions in all industry, establish universal healthcare, universal child care, social security for retirees, shutdown the coal industry, prevent the Standard Oil Trust and oil industry from getting started (Rockefeller's first refinery was built in 1873)? They could have put the US on a green transgendered path when they had the chance. Why they didn't appoint a single dyke to the Supreme Court! Instead they worked to return the US to the gold standard. What's liberal about that?
