Why do you think the US has, for decades, been the world leader in "progress", what with all those stupid provincial Americans without passports?

Can you please cite some credible reference for your bs remark?

Ted, > You know exactly what provincialism is and how it stifles progress.

Of course. I see your form of "liberal provincialism" all the time.

> If it wasn't for liberals, there would be no hi tech industry in Silicon Valley and you probably would be a shop owner in Baltimore.

You're dead wrong, Ted. As usual.

If it wasn't for liberals, you'd still be living in California.

If it wasn't for conservatives, I'd probably be a struggling shop owner in the People's Unified Democratic Republic of Korea.

If it wasn't for conservatives, America wouldn't have become the global market leader in high-tech.

And if it wasn't for the high-tech industry, I would have probably become a successful doctor ... and hated it.

The high tech industry in Silicon Valley came into existence because of DEFENSE and space race spending.

Provincial Americans think Austrian is a language and don't know Afghanistan isn't an Arab country.
