its because if you don't agree with all of the progressive agenda
Edited on Tue May-04-04 11:15 AM by karabekian
you are attacked personally as a racist and a right wing bigot. Sad but true and definatly not the best for intelligent and open debate. For instance I believe in Gun rights, the death penalty and free trade. To some I am one step from Bush, a right wing extremist. Forget that I believe in healthcare, good jobs, gay rights, abortion rights, and many other "liberal" issues. It seems to me that for many, its either all or none.
