One could even make a plausible argument that during our entire history as an independent nation, it has often been “leftists” who first proposed the reforms which we now take for granted as being essential to a free society.

Does your comment mean you think that no reform idea in American history which we adopted has ever originated with the American left?

Have you heard of Eugene Debs, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton? Do you know anything about their tireless efforts with respect to women’s suffrage or the 8-hour work day or equal pay for women?

In 1917, Eugene Debs’ hometown newspaper in Terre Haute IN described him as “a man who had devoted more time and interest than any other man in the United States to bring about political freedom for women.”

Have you read anything about the major figures within the American civil rights movement during the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s?
