Is Progressive Thinking Dead in America?[/DIV]Well?[/DIV]Think about it, the courts are conservative, we live in red/blue state america. Your either for or against and the middle ground has disapeared.  People are ignoring the constitution. My state wants to have a state religion. People are banning things. wtf? Don't people understand what the hell they're doing? Apparently not. [/DIV]The country is showing its true colours. Conservatives say they want everyone to be free and yet they want to ban abortion, birth control, ban certain books, seperation between church and state doesn't exist, people are voting on morals instead of whats best for the country.

What the hell happend to my parents generation?[/DIV]What happend to all the protesters from the 70's?[/DIV]When the hell did baby boomers become so conservative?

I've given up. I have always wanted the country to become like europe culturally but I don't see that happening in my lifetime.  I don't want to fight in pointless battles that are not worth anything.

I don't think it's dead yet by a long shot, but it's under serious attack, as evidenced by the neglect of education under this "education president" with his Orwellian Newspeak "no child left behind" policy, and the proliferation of "faith-based" alternatives to education.

Progressive thinking was mugged by Chuck Norris, punched in the junk and then forcibly sodomized with a wine bottle. I hear it's in a coma now and Chuck's got it hanging from a hook in his den.

Don't know if this is it, but it's the "official" Chuck Norris facts page.[/DIV]For some reason it takes forever to load...probably because everyone wants to know about Teh Chuck     (http://www.motleycrow.com/ImageHost/blackmetal.gif)

Chuck Norris for some reason does radio ads for 'a good republican friend' down here in missouri.
