Thought is progress. 

Progressive is a blanket term used for the common liberal mindset.

So is not always the case.

To progress, to move forward

Humans are said to be progressing

I Challenge That.

We, as a nation seem to be regressing.

Less tangible thought, 

More inane fluff to fill our empty minds.

Void of coherent thought

We scream at the top of our lungs,

Yet say nothing to be remembered.

We watch our minds turn to mush and judge those who think to attempt change

Like an old man 'set in his ways' or a small child who sings with his fingers in his ears to make the  world disappear.

We ingore all of the warning signs

GO BACK          BEWARE            DANGER

We don't listen because we've never been heard.

From infancy we are pacfied to keep from shouting. 

It continues through childhood,

Constantly being stifled and put out before the flame of free thought is even more than an ember.

Thought is our freedom. 

It shouldn't be taken from us.

Our individual thought is what distinctly seperates us apart.

We are singular, not one machine following what the hard drive says is correct.

We make our own opinions.

It is that, my friends, that truly makes us
