Isn't it about time the Right stopped...?
blaming the "liberals" (I actually prefer the term Progressive since it's more accurate) for their woes? They've had control of congress for the past 12 years and the presidency for 6. When will they stop with the tunnel vision they suffer from and realize that the left is not responsible for everything that is bad in America?

I totally agree! And they should stop bringing up Clinton, for goodness' sake! The man's been out of office for almost six years, so enough already! However, I don't mind being called a liberal. I hate the fact that it's been used as an epithet for so long, and I think it's time that we took it back!

I think the biggest issue that conservatives have with the progressive movement is the fact that the courts are being used to pass laws. So the left is using the courts for political activitism and that is not right. Laws are contracts and only the legislature has the right to change them. Courts are designed to enforce the laws passed by the legislature, not legislate the laws and they are doing so from the bench. That is one example of how the left has ruined thing in this country.

I don't really care about what Clinton did either.

I don't blame the liberals for everything that's bad in America. They're not responsible for all of it.
But I think a major point that some liberals are missing is :
Conservatives see liberals as a danger to all of our survival, because of their positions on Terrorism. This one is for all the marbles, and no other issue will ever matter if the Terorists aren't stopped. Talking to then is NOT an option. Perhaps you should research Radical Islam and then you could educate the rest of the liberals on the folly of their ways. People aren't about to let themselves be killed as a result of liberal Terrorism policies.

You have got that right. But they will blame it all on clinton. And the last 6 years have nothing to do with Bush it's Clintons fall out. When it comes to politics it's blind vision most of the time. The blame will never stop. However if the progressives do well the next two years. They will credit Bush. LOL Can't win for trying.

We don't blame the liberals for everything, Just most things.
I think we realize that Conservatives, independents and the
greens do contribute.
As for picking on Bill Clinton, we do it because he and Hillary
make it so easy.

Liberals are not responsible for everything bad in America, though it is a legitimate concern that, if given the power, the could easily become responsible

The left is not at fault for *everything* bad. Not many conservatives would say that Everything bad is because of the liberals.
We have different values, but should still respect others. I do this.

Liberals ARE responsible for everything bad - in the world.
Take feminism for example: * a brief impact synopsis*
Twice the number of vehicles on the road and a more than doubling of consumption = massively accelerated green house gas effect.
Child aged murderers/rapists for the first time in recorded history.
Big brother government, with cameras and police state to manage disgruntled and disaffected youth who were thrown up rather than brought up.
Broken families and the resultant crime rate increase alongside a decline in morality and general civility towards one another ie. "road rage".
Increasing number of suicides and increased consumption of antidepressants d/t increased stress and life dissatisfaction.
Implementation of quota systems to determine job/ university applicant success in place of merit.
Increased child poverty.
Skyrocketing infidelity/decline in number of young people comitting to marriage.
Increase in sexually transmitted diseases and the emergence of exceptionally deadly sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS.
Self-destruct birth rate resulting in top-heavy elderly population, with resultant collapse of economy, infastructure, social services and society itself when critical mass is reached.
Again, this is only a short list of the myriad ill effects based upon a single "liberal" concept.

Maybe when the liberals stop blaming the progressives (Republicans) for everything.
If you do it - you should not be complaining when others follow your example.
