Open mindedness is not a progressive characteristic, if u show any decent to the progressive ideals u are immediatly attacked but they dont attack ur views, they resort 2 personal attacks label a person a biggoted racist, insulting a persons intelligence, claim a person is a slave 2 conservative leaders, those are just a few of the enumerated examples of racist bigoted hypocracy of the progressive douche bags in america, they are guilty of the very accusations they unjustly lvl at dissenters

I think that open mindedness is so often interpreted as blind acceptance of any concept, no matter how controversial. Being able to listen to new ideas, to empathize and to self examine is good, but I think that blindly accepting ideas for the sake of not causing offence, or to appear "progressive" can be dangerous.

I am a Christian conservative. I think open mindedness is a good thing. I often get confused by the term however, especially when it so often seems to be deprived of any context.
