"The more Dems try to attack our past, the less we will actually progress."

The more you are reminded of America's past mistakes the more deplorable you get. You can learn from your mistakes. In fact that is how you learn. If you never make mistakes you won't learn much.

Exposing and talking about the past is not "attacking" it. Thats like trying to attack the wake of a ship in the water. The past is gone. You cannot "attack" it. But we can talk about it and try not to make the same mistakes.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Republicans wish to repeat the past. Historians are just trying to remind you how bad it was for many in the past and that we are Not Going Back.

Time to grow up little hummer.

"Finally, its interesting people here that want MORE federal government are arguing against what the federal government does."

What's Interesting that you think people here want MORE federal government. Who here has actually said that? Maybe we just want an effective and efficient and compassionate federal government? Did you ask before you assumed you know what people here are thinking? Why not? Is that just what your handlers tell you to say these things regardless of reality (which is obviously much more complex than your oversimplification). But maybe if you repeat your lies over and over they will become true ... for you?

Did you know that the largest expansion of the federal government since 1947 was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security? Do you know which party and which administration created that agency? (Hint: it was created in 2002)

Interesting that you think we cannot criticize our own federal government and try and learn from our country's mistakes.

That must be the commie in you.
