Alexander? Qin Shi Huang? Soviet Union? All tyrannies. Not progressive. The opposite.

For you, progressives are Gandhi and MLK ... but that isn't who the Progressives are ... tell me about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize please ;-)

The Government of Baruchistan is the one we have watch out for.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Well I do support the government (and not because I think it is virtuous) ... even if I have to drive an Abrams thru your front door.  Just don't do anything to attract the attention or wrath of the government, and statistically you will be OK.  Kind of like Florida, if you don't want to be bitten by an alligator, stay out of the Everglades.  But the alligators aren't often found in downtown Miami, there are other hazards there.

I used to live on The Beach. There are 'gators there. Or were in 1977.

Since they are no longer endangered, I doubt they are still there.  I have eaten gator.  I hear that the canals are the main problem with wild animals getting into the burbs.  But now they have pythons too.

This one was in the lagoon, near the BeeGees' house.

Why do Progressives want everyone to speak the same language?  Isn't that at least colonial, if not imperialist?  We are using English to post here ...

So here is a quick education about English language imperialism ... so Snowflakes, get out your hankies .... LOL

I would wager progressives speak a second language at a much higher clip than conservatives, particularly given the demographics of the two ideologies.

I know Bernie Taupin did. He was staying there at the time. The BGs were on tour.
