Whether it's the issue of marriage, prayer at football games, or God in the Pledge of Allegiance, we've seen courts from coast to coast venture far beyond proper role in a naked attempt to create a new, forward-thinking social, political, and cultural framework.

Thanks for the ping. Another strong effort by Ingraham.

My only difference with her is in her use of the phrase "forward-thinking". I refuse to believe that the trashing of our national values and scandalization of our culture is "forward-thinking" in any way.

Good point. Maybe "progressive-thinking" would be better, as "progressive" is currently defined in the political arena, to mean: high taxes, low morals.

I have a problem with that "forward thinking" remark, too. It seems to lend a credibility were none exists. "Forward thinking" took us from the stagecoach to the 747. Taking us down a slime-covered path to moral decay is "evil thinking".

I have been to leftist events. In addition to calling their ideas "progressive" they always call themselves "forward-thinking." I think Ingraham was mocking them.

You are absolutely correct. Perhaps collectivist-thinking, statist-thinking, or socialistic thinking would be better.
