Really? You should take a look at the laws the Religious Right, since the right doesn't like control and all, have implemented in this country.

Destroying the coal industry and its jobs: Progress
Wasting money on "green energy" investments with negative returns: Progress.
Liberal unspoken rules:

* Feelings are more important than logic,
* Believe in discrimination for thought,
* Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it,
* Intentions are much more important than results,
* Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action,
* What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don't like should be banned,
* All solutions must be government-oriented,
* You must be absolutely close minded.
* You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds,

To a liberal the more the government owns you the more progress they made.

I do not think that gay rights we are seeing is progress. I think that trying to reform medical industry is a step in right direction. I think progress is when republicans will participate in OBAMACARE and "fix it". GOP is wants to kill it and place nothing else in it's wake. That's just counter productive.

Allot of Rep policy is going to turn the country into a Christian fundamentalist Taliban state.

Fix the Democrats mess? Dems wouldn't let Republicans have a say in it before it passed and now you expect R's to FIX YOUR MESS?

"You have to pass the law before you can see what's in it"
-- Nancy Pelosi (Democrat)

Dems made such a mess it would take years of government waste to fix it. Scrap it, let both parties see and vote on what's in it before it passes.

LOL. Do you actually believe what you type? Do you really hate the other side of the coin that much? What has caused you to see a black and white world?

Can you even get your basic facts right? The GOP proposed many ideas for the Obamacare.

I went to a hospital with a stomach ache, I had health insurance that I paid monthly, left the hospital with 10k bill on my credit report.

Healthcare needed fixing, democrat or republican, fix it so that people can use it.

I don't even know why I came back to this ignorant section of the forum, but whatever lol. Abortion is progress because over population is real. Kids costing money and hindering your life is real. Wealth distribution (and lack of) is real. Kansas is currently the nation's welfare queen and it's a red state. Climate change is real. And taking risks on an investment, something republicans are for, is real and works. Are we just supposed to use coal forever?

Are you intentionally being daft?
