The story of conservative failure in America dates back to the 1770s when they sided with the British and to the 1860s when they supported slavery but for expedience purposes we will pick up the narrative in the 20th Century.
After Democrats won World War I, three corrupt conservative Presidents (KKK Harding, KKK Coolidge, and Hitler lover Hoover) managed to destroy our economy and our military. Throughout the 1930s, prominent conservatives like Prescott Bush and Henry Ford funded Adolf Hitler while liberals were aghast. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, it was FDR and Democrats who won World War Two.
Thereafter, Harry Truman's SEcretary of State Marshall enacted the Marshall Plan which even right wingers like Newt Gingrich have credited with ending communism. It was Truman who gave Jews a state in Israel. It was JFK who handled the Bay of Pigs crisis, Carter (the worst democratic president on foreign policy but still better than every Republican president since WW I not named Eisenhower) brought peace between Israel and Jordan. Clinton rebuilt Bush and Reagan's weak military. Clinton brought peace in Ireland and the Balkans. Clinton helped destroy nuclear weapons which Reagan proliferated during the 1980s and contained North Korea. So what have Conservative Republicans done?
Conservative Republicans have 1) funded Hitler's war machine which killed countless Americans.
2) escalated the losing conflict in Vietnam.
3) given money to Osama bin Laden which UBL used to fund terrorist attacks against Americans.
4) Gave Saddam Hussein WMDs which were used to kill hundreds of thousands of Kurds in the 1980s.
5) Ignored the crisis in Darfur.
6) Supported apartheid in South Africa.
7) Allowed North Korea to build 8 nukes under GWB, 8 more than were built under Clinton.
8) collaborated with Iranian terrorists to hold Americans hostage for 444 days in an embassy in Tehran.
9) Given Moammar GAddhafi a free pass for blowing up a commercial airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland.
10) Ignored the August 6th PDB which allowed 9/11 to occur on their watch.
11) Given Pakistan WMDS which they then sold to North Korea.
12) Allowed Russia to sell some of its missile technology to terrorists instead of continuing Clinton's program to destroy these programs.
13) Killed innocent people (including nuns) all throughout Central America by supporting dictators.
14) Helping the Argentinian Government kidnap babies from families solely on political ideology.
15) After 241 Marines were blown up in Beirut, all they could do was invade a classroom of kids in Grenada.
16) Created policies which led to Hamas' rise in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
17) Allowed terrorists to retake Somalia.
18) Given money to the Taliban.
19) Supported terrorist dictators throughout Southeast Asia, most notably Indonesia and the Phillipines.
20) Given arms to Hezbollah and Iran.
When you total up the damage (and this is a partial list) one realizes that right wing conservatives have helped kill over 100 million people over the past 100 years. And yet the media calls Republicans "strong on foreign policy." Yeah right!!!!
