  Terkoy, consider yourself lucky that you live in a country where progressive, liberal ideas have established some semblance of decency within a society that used to send children to the coal mines and deny education to blacks and working classes. Like it or not, enough of us vote for the Nancy Pelosi's and Ted Kennedy's in congress to make sure that we do not regress.

  Do you think people in San Fransisco or Massachussetts are communist crazies? In reality, we are the economic and intellectual driving force of this country. Whether it is Computers, Pharmaceuticals, other high tech industries, the liberal parts of the country lead the way. This is not a coincidence, because unlike you and your ilk, we value education.

  You seem to have no clue about what real progress is. I do not for a moment believe that any real data will sway you, because you are under the influence of propaganda. Do you know that over the past 50 years, economic growth under Democratic administrations significantly exceeded that of Republican administrations? See:

  for the actual data. It is also no coincidence that the right paints educated folks as elitists. Gee, I'm sorry I actually took the time to learn something.
