You said yourself that America was built on liberal values (whatever version of liberalism exists in your mind, that is). This is progression. Why is that a bad thing? Lots of great stuff has happened over the last few days. Just look at Washington. A shining example for other states to follow. And it's all state law, not federal (note: not big gov).
This is not a simple battle of left vs right. There's a reason that model is slowly going out of the window. I don't much care for President Obama. I think there are better people for the job, but he far better represents a progressive stance than Mitt Romney did.
If you can ask yourself where you want your country to go, and your answer is nowhere, you want it to stand still, then fine, our argument would go on forever and is therefore futile. I want progression and so I go with the most progressive person for the job.
Thing is I don't want progression at the national level. I believe in the 10th amendment give the power to the states. Its likely that a state exist for whatever your beliefs are.
