No Republican has ever initiated or enacted any beneficial programs or laws. Democrats created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, FEMA, HUD, SNAP, GI Bill, minimum wage, 8-hour workday, union collective bargaining rights, civil rights, voting rights, rural electrification, Obamacare and more.

Long ago there was a noble word “liberal" which derives from the word free. Now a strange thing happened to that word. A man named Hitler made it a term of abuse. Another man named McCarthy cast the same opprobrium on the word. We must cherish and honor the word free or it will cease to apply to us.
