"Progressives have trouble articulating their outrage at 9/11 and their desire to protect the country for a number of reasons. There are six types of progressives who derive their shared sense of mission from certain core issues:
1. Socioeconomic progressives think that everything is a matter of money and class and all solutions are ultimately economic and social class solutions. 2. Identity politics progressives say it is time for their oppressed group to get its share now. 3. Environmentalists think in terms of sustainability of the earth, the sacredness of the earth and the protection of native peoples. 4. Civil liberties progressives want to maintain freedoms against threats to freedom. 5. Spiritual progressives have a nurturant form of religion or spirituality and their spiritual experience relates to their connection and service to other people and their community. 6. Antiauthoritarians believe there are all sorts of illegitimate forms of authority out there and we have to fight them.
Each group considers their issue to be the most urgently dealt with. They have not sat down and established priorities or frameworks for these issues. Progressives tend to conflict. Progressives need to stop conflicting to succeed against conservatives."

Every one of those are legitimate concerns and should be so for everybody. The trick is to get all sides to find common ground and work on blending everything together for all people. Therein lies the problem. Everyone is right while everyone else is wrong/stupid etc...I'll say it again, corporate greed and GREED in general is killing the world. One can not make someone moral or have a heart, there will always be predators.
