It certainly can be.  After all, what is the goal of progressives?  To advance, and to improve conditions.  Not every group needs to make it in order to advance.
Except that one has taken an absurd stance when they talk as though it is a good idea to separate people into races.
Not at all.  Races allows for easy stereotyping, which allows us to determine whether a person is likely to be good or evil.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

There is no other option. We aren't going to find a higher density or more efficient form of energy than oil.

Yeah and we will never fly or land on the moon either.

Which is why it is an often used tool of the ignorant.

Canada is the #1 source of oil for the US
Not if the hippies have their way.

Your statement is absurd.

If greenists emerge victorious, the US economy will be crippled and the 1930s will look like progress. Solar and wind are interesting weekend hobbies. They are not an alternative to oil.

Canadian hippies or American hippies?

Not inherently evil.  They just have a few cultural quirks that can cause them problems.

Both.  Canadian hippies have been kissing up to Obama, hoping that he'll somehow ban oil.  Of course, they've received the same contemptuous cold shoulder that Obama gives everyone.

They're not a race.  As a group, they're silly, betraying even their own shallow affectations.
