    I would have to disagree, though I partially agree. America has been one of the more willing to adapt nations, but a lot of Americans are not very willing to adapt and I think the upsurge in Crazy Conservatism is a symptom of that, though it is certainly due to a few other things too. It seems like the country may be getting over that to some degree, but if you ever go to a Palin rally you'll see it certainly hasn't died yet.
