If it makes you feel any better, I imagine the progressives of this country would have negated the votes of the white South Africans in regards to apartheid, the Nazis in 1930s Germany, and the KKK in 1950s American South, if we could. Come to think of it, if we could to back in time I bet progressives would have also attempted to circumvent the popular support behind the murder of the Native Americans, the suppression and abuse of women and the illegalization of inter-racial marriage.

Actually, what' s funny about all those is that progressives tried but failed. Can you imagine the right-wing disasters we've actually managed to prevent? It boggles the mind. Too bad we couldn't get GW Bush before he fucked everything up.

Some principles transcend your need to feel empowered "true" conservative.

(to any progressives reading this thread - if there are any: Isn't it great that we can just point at Bush 43 and the republican congress between '94 and '06 any time conservatives try to convince people they have good ideas? There was some good out of the last 8 years after all!)

(Now watch all the conservatives disown him...)
