Those that discover the problems with DDT and bring it light, or those that refuse to address the problem and find a solution?
Limbaugh is such a moron because he has no clue that in many parts of Africa they still use DDT. By us not having it here, it does not mean africa all of a sudden loses all access to it. How about chronicling the harms caused by the right? Well undermining healthcare reform and allowing the out of control costs to continue to bankrupt millions of Americans. can be added to the republicans lists of triumphs. Dems have done EVERYTHING that has aided those who needed it in this country. EVERYTHING!
Since FDR, democrats have consistently passed almost every piece of successful legislation that addressed a major need - medicare, medicaid, I believe ALL of the civil rights legislation, SCHIP, social security, welfare, food stamps, creating national parks, wildlife reserves,immigration reform, initiated the space race, created the FDIC and SEC, created benefits, minimum wage, built millions of low cost housing, helped create unions, advocated for fair hiring, employment, admissions to schools and voting rights, created hundreds of millions of scholarships, built the hoover dam, tennesse valley created hundreds of public work projects still standing today, abolished child labor, started bilingual programs, prevented housing discrimination, created the FTA, pay for overtime, Equal pay, transparency in gov't documents, Americorps, unpaid leave and more. Wheres your list Boss?

George HW did pass into law some minor additional benefits for the unemployed. And thats that. Like reagan, Bush Sr focused almost entirely on foreign policy even saying he preferred it better. You know why he likes it better? Because republicans have only one domestic policy agenda that isnt opposition to something - cut taxes. That their entire playbook. And some would say lower the deficit although republicans have mostly failed on that one anyway. Eisenhower was the last effective republican who actively pushed to help Americans in my opinion. He was the last republican who actually had a plan that involved fixing or creating something within the country to help the people. And he left office in 1961 - so the GOP has gone 48 years with a domestic policy that involved cutting taxes and opposing reform. This is why the party is in shambles right now. They dont actually stand for anything anymore except opposition to change.
1) Greatly reduce or entirely eliminate taxes on the rich, thereby forcing hard-pressed working families to painfully make up resulting revenue shortfalls.
2) Bust labor unions, cruelly preventing the collective bargaining that's the key reason why US workers ever won decent wages and benefits.
3) Stubbornly deny the existence of ominous climate change while blithely pumping more pollutants into the environment from lucrative, dirty industries and practices. Although reputable scientists say 350 carbon parts per atmospheric million is the safe limit for sustained life on Earth, Republicans dismiss the frightening fact that we're already at a carbon level of roughly 390 ppm.
4) Remove "restrictive" regulations on everything from investment banks and credit card companies to a broad array of "profit-eroding" consumer protections, leaving the American masses exposed to a host of resulting abuses and dangers.
5) Continue to criticize and insufficiently fund public education, advocating private schooling instead, thus entirely ignoring that progressive public systems are used in every country that has education outcomes superior to our own.
6) Outlaw abortion, under a fraudulently moral guise, compelling the US to bloodily join those benighted, backward nations where thousands of already-born, living, breathing, socially functioning females perish because of sexist denials of their basic reproductive rights.
7) Continue to recite a Pledge of Allegiance whose last six words are "with liberty and justice for all," while remaining numbly oblivious to the harsh hypocrisy of preventing our homosexual citizens from marrying.
8) Speak often and loftily of freedom, but engage in secret wiretapping, repression of domestic dissent, neo-McCarthyite witch hunts, Red-baiting name calling, and a panoply of Patriot Act transgressions against the Constitution of the United States...all under the misused rubric of "national security."
9) Show the rest of humankind nothing but bullying world-cop arrogance through endless US interventions and aggressions on foreign soil, resulting not just in countless lives extinguished in indefensible wars, and billions of badly-needed dollars flushed down the drain, but constant al Qaeda recruitment against hated Yankee interlopers.
10) Generally drive down the income levels of America's working-class majority, as a purported cost-saving corporate measure, without appreciating that a populace that's too poor to buy back what society produces is doomed to economic ruin. A living wage is the ultimate "stimulus," but try to find even one Republican who favors it!
11) Continue to lie about the alternative, affordable health care for all that some fifty world nations' people overwhelmingly support, thereby propagandistically leading Americans to think that having private insurance whose premiums are rising at rates three times higher than our pay -- and which routinely denies coverage when it's required most -- is somehow preferable
12) Unleash de facto ethnic cleansing against 12 million immigrant men, women, and children, making them contemporary equivalents of the Jewish scapegoats that Hitler blamed for hardships Germans experienced during a prior period of capitalist economic distress.
13) Shamefully try to lend credence to their avarice and social irresponsibility by revising the Bible to obscure passages that place human need before abject greed, attempting to turn it into a facilitating guide for modern peers of the temple moneychangers whose tables Jesus angrily knocked to the floor (and who undoubtedly wouldn't be mentioned in the amended version that one conservative group is actually, amazingly trying to put into circulation).
14) Give full vent to the intensely bigoted hatred that has crazed extremists dreaming of literally tearing Barack Obama to pieces and gassing all liberals...if only they could.
15) Place the livelihoods and lives of over 300 million Americans in the hands of incompetent ideological "purists" such as Sarah Palin.
That is why they cry. They are not getting their way. LOL!
