If you don't pay attention to conservative yammer you might not be aware of that, but it's true nevertheless.<br /> <br /> There's an active and energized movement among conservatives to destroy unions, especially unions of public workers. <br /> <br /> I'll leave the "end of segregation" claim to others to eviscerate, but, um, really? <br /> <br /> The notion that no new groups came under fire between the end of slavery and women's suffrage is comical at best and suggests that you're utterly ignorant about the experiences of Irish, Italian, Jewish, and Chinese immigrants, just for starters. I'd provide a longer list but come on, that should be enough for starters.<br /> <br /> You're certainly living up to your customary the-Nazis-worshiped-Thor standards of historical accuracy.
