Instead of going "oh those lberals are always critisizing the war" or whatever, why don't we act like mature idividuals and respect each others opinions?

Could you give us an example of what you 'feel' constitutes a 'progressive' idea...
The reason I ask is that every "Progressive" idea I've come across is merely the idiocy that experience proved was a bad idea 5000 years ago... which would tend to make it fairly REgressive...
But hey, I'd just love to hear what you've got in mind.
What's interesting to me is that you indicate that you're from Vietnam; which is interesting in that your homeland is controlled by the forces of progression and tolerance; and all they had to do was to murder a few million people to make it happen.
