I'm trying to think of a right wing movement that has helped people

All the abortion clinic bombings resulted in killings and severe injuries that saved dozens of fetuses at the expense of dedicated medical personnel.
All the insurance companies were allowed to ration care with 20% annual premium increases, deny claims and dump sick people off their rolls due to preexisting conditions until Obamacare screwed that up.

Lincoln was a Republican and was obviously instrumental in ending slavery. Does that count?

Tea Party conservatives fight to defend the Constitution which is the foundation of this country.
Anything since the parties actually switched roles and philosophies? Now, you Teapublicans are trying to intimidate black voters.

Under Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge imposed an extreme form of social engineering on Cambodian society — a radical form of agrarian communism where the whole population had to work in collective farms or forced labor projects. In terms of the number of people killed as a proportion of the population (almost 2 million killed out of an estimated 7.1 million people), it was the most lethal regime of the 20th century. (Plus an estimated, additional 35,000 foreign democides)

COF you continue to prove yourself an idiot faster than I can type responses pointing out your stupidity!

LOL!

I would think ending slavery ranks pretty high up there as well as the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Then there was reconstruction that enabled freedmen to vote. Then there was giving the women the right to vote. Pretty big deal. Though you guys won't like it, fighting back communism saved this country in the 50s. Oh yes, ending segregation in the schools was a GOP idea. What else did republicans do???? Oh, the national park system under Teddy Roosevelt. Ending the war in Vietnam and ending the war in Korea.

Of course you don't have enough education to realize that right wing means different things in different reasons and you don't explain yourself. So you want to detail what you really mean?
