Hint: Stop listening so much to El Rushbo. America is progressive in
it's soul. That progressive character has manifested itself in
everything from worker's health and safety laws, to free public schools,
to social security domestically, and ideas like the Nuremberg trials and
recognizing basic human rights internationally.

Don't forget those dusty old chestnuts, the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights, and the first part of the Declaration of Independence. As
recently as 2 1/2 years ago, people at least paid lip service to them...
