A vision of America post-feminist-progressive-Obama-revolution victory

Chris Muir's Day by Day Sunday cartoon is a perfect illustration of a brief conversation I had with a pair of "progressives" this morning in my adult Sunday School class. During prayer requests, one member mentioned 9/11 being the day before and requested prayer for our troops. I made a considerably non-PC comment about "Arab terrorists" which prompted an expected response from the two "progressives" in my class.

Husband "progressive" says Arab terrorists were justified on 9/11 by what America has done in invading their lands. I asked what Arab country we had invaded to provoke 9/11 and wife "progressive" responds, "Iraq." I shut down the exchange at that point and went on my Sunday School class.

But being the U.S. invasion of Iraq began in March 2003, how did that justify the attack on New York City and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001? Pre-emptive terrorism based on what we would do 18 months later?

Glenn Beck blasts Obama and 'Progressives' with 'Common Sense'

I didn't start out a Glenn Beck fan, but I'm becoming more of one every day. He's the Thomas Paine of the second American Revolution, bringing Common Sense to the political climate of our times. I watched most of his speech at CPAC after coming in late and IMHO, he knocked Obama and the "Progressives" currently in power clear out of the ballpark.

Merdith Jessup at Townhall.com summed up Beck's appeal thusly from his speech at CPAC:

This unabashed pride in our country continues to be the defining theme of CPAC and the conservative movement in America. As Glenn Beck stressed today, one of the most important aspects of conservatism is a health appreciation for America's exceptional history. It's America's history that provides us with lessons from our past and promise for our future.
