on other issues. There seems to be a lot of that here lately. Which really makes me wonder just how "progressive" many people are on this site. Progressive, another issue I can't get behind. I'm a liberal, always will be a liberal, and never would I define myself as a progressive. In a word, Progress is to continue, evolve or move forward, a going or getting ahead. It sounds good on the surface. But what if you don't like where your progressing to? I don't know, I believe adopting the moniker of Progressive is just knuckling under to all the Liberal bashing that has taken place of over the years. Me, I'm a Liberal.

Anyway, I just wanted to encourage your "Liberal-minded" approach. We need more open-minded, non-judgemental, accepting and broad-minded people here at DU. Oh wait, I just described a Liberal!
