Our Progressive Future

Rush Limbaugh and his clones spent the last 20 years digging the grave of the conservative movement with an intolerant, venomous vision that moved the Republican Party toward a radical, ridiculous platform. The use of wedge issues gave the Republicans brief short-term spurts in votes, but doomed the Republicans in the long-term as people realized down the line how they had been taken advantage of. This is a lot like the situation with corporations that eviscerate themselves for short-term profit while destroying sustainability. The future of this country is becoming more and more progressive day by day. The "silent majority" is not spiteful, but compassionate.
