You can be sure that if things get worse, i will pack my bags and move back to Europe. I didn’t come here by choice, I think that my parents just made a mistake. Another mistake was trying to apply for Citizenship, because I had it rejected for a drug arrest, not a conviction. How do you like that? Innocent until proven guilty my ass.

Lumping progressives in with Maoists and Stalinists is ignorant. I agree there are some poeple on college campuses that are vocal in supporting those ideologies, but they don’t represent the majority of us. Just like people who bomb abortion clinics don’t represent all conservatives.

What exactly do you think we evil “progressives” are trying to do to your homeland? In the past progressives have only made this country better. Food safety laws, child labor laws, civil rights laws and the programs of the New Deal can be attributed to them. You can’t deny that you have enjoyed those perks in some way. The fact is that nobody wants a violent revolution or redistribution of wealth. How about just some healthcare, less war and less corrupt, responsible represenetatives in DC.
