Conservatives hoped Pres. Obama would fail before he even took his oath or tried to move forward on his agenda. Isn't it terrorists that hope our government will fail? These violent demonstrations are not constructive, merely destructive. Have you read the Preamble lately? I have - "promote the general welfare". That phrase means we, and we are our government after all, are tasked with taking care of our citizens - their healthcare, education, basic needs. Conservatives strive to undermine each of these goals. I'm proud to be a Progressive - WE got women the right to vote, WE put public education first, WE work to keep the government out of citizens' most private decisions, WE helped blacks earn equal rights during the Civil Rights Movement, WE help to ensure that religion doesn't take over our government leaving us no different than the Middle East, and the list goes on. Conservatives do NOT have the market cornered on patriotism. I'm PROGRESSIVE, PROUD, and PATRIOTIC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
