Is the USA really as Conservative as the Media Makes it Seem?

NO!
It isn't.
Media Matters (.org) has studied this question and discovered what many of us know intuitively; that the apparent conservatism of the American populace is a figment of the mass media's imagination. We are more progressive than we think we are.

I think that's why so many people overseas think so poorly of the U.S. in general.

I am nuttily progressive. Though I'm more of a lefty than a righty.

Like the userpic?

Your userpic didn't show up in my gmail! So I don't know if I like it.

Nuttily progressive....what does that mean?

America is the land of self-satisfied apathy---I agree that people out there have reason to disrespect us....
