Progressive means forward thinking as in not old-fashined, status-quo, even "conservative". Conservative can never be progressive, as by it's very nature, it "conserves" a defined way of doing things, generally moving very carefully (and slowly)
Isn't that called "wisdom"?

So are you saying that because someone is "conservative" they are less informed, and have a worse understanding of the world? And further that if one is liberal they are more informed and have a better understanding of the world?
wow I certainly don't see myself as a conservative, but that documentary is incredible! Even if 10% of it is true, American colleges have a big problem...
