POLL: ‘Progressive’ Is The Most Positively Viewed Political Label in America

[Zander]

This is great news!!! Obama's a lock now!!!

 

[daveman]

To progress toward more fairness and intelligence, and turn away again from greed, lies, suffering, and Republicanism. See sig.

Liberalism has been character assassinated by the Pub propaganda machine for twenty-five years, so it's not surprising the dupes are less approving.

Coincidentally, the approval number for socialism is also the number of Americans who know what it is (Nowadays, "social democracy", fair regulation to protect the citizens from the cruelty of savage capitalism- in other word's we already have it, just a stupid version running on default GOP lines)...

"The dupes"? Oh, you mean American citizens. Yes, you have to try to fool them to get their support.

Crappy Photoshop skills are crappy.

 

[daveman]

People pick progressive because they actually think the 'progress' in the word means progress. Just like liberalism, lefties have screwed up another word.

The root word for Progressive is progress and defined thusly:


1. a movement toward a goal or to a further or higher stage: the progress of a student toward a degree.

2. developmental activity in science, technology, etc., especially with reference to the commercial opportunities created thereby or to the promotion of the material well-being of the public through the goods, techniques, or facilities created.

3 advancement in general.

4. growth or development; continuous improvement: He shows progress in his muscular coordination.

5. the development of an individual or society in a direction considered more beneficial than and superior to the previous level.

Now the right can and will spin history and linguistics to fit their agenda, but to the informed it only makes them look dishonest.

Turning the US into the Soviet Union circa 1958 isn't "progress".

 

[daveman]

That's solely because of the ignorant state this nation is of their own history.

...thanks to left-dominated education.

By dupes I mean people who believe Pubcrappe from theRush/Fox/Savage/Pubs/Koch Bros/Moon/Breitbart/Heritage circle jerk...see sig.

 

[francoHFW]

If ONLY our education was directed by leftists....lol

 

[daveman]

Progressives have a proud heritage.

As well you should.

You have glorious People's Tractor!

 

[francoHFW]

Jeeebus...Baylor 73, Wash. 66 in Bowl game....!

 

[francoHFW]

If you say Progressives are communists, you mark yourself as a total moron. ty

 

[daveman]

I can see some of us don't know much progressive/liberal history. Progressivism is not the same as Liberalism.

Progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I never said it was. The point I made was that people who used to call themselves "liberals" ten years ago now call themselves "progressives" today. Their politics haven't changed...they still believe in the same things they did back then...what's changed is that the electorate became disenchanted with liberal politicians and stopped voting for them. I repeat...you "repackaged" yourselves to try and sell something that wasn't selling anymore. The fact that liberals chose to do that speaks volumes.

Liberalism has been character assassinated for 25 years, but everyone but morons and the terminally greedy or hateful are NOW so sick of the GOP THEY'VE taken on progessive as a mantle. The question is, what the FUQUE is wrong with YOU people?? LOL:

So now telling the truth is "character assassination".

If you drooling idiot leftists didn't make up definitions for words, you couldn't form an argument.

 

[daveman]

By dupes I mean people who believe Pubcrappe from theRush/Fox/Savage/Pubs/Koch Bros/Moon/Breitbart/Heritage circle jerk...see sig.

I've seen your sig. It's horseshit.

So of course you believe it.

 

[daveman]

If you say Progressives are communists, you mark yourself as a total moron. ty

If you deny progressives and communists have the same goals and tactics, you're a total moron and a leftist -- pardon the redundancy.

 

[francoHFW]

You're nuts, dittohead. Hoping for your recovery. No, nobody wants communism, just fairness, fool. Change the channel.

 

[Lakhota]

Let us bow our heads in prayer for the weak of mind...

Most of the above is VERY subjective.

Why is it liberal socialists hate being called by their name?


I am a PROUD conservative

As a proud conservative why do you object to being called a fascist?

 

[Sunni Man]

As a proud conservative why do you object to being called a fascist?

I can easily answer that question.

Fascism is a leftist/liberal/socialist ideology and is the complete opposite of being a Conservative.

 

[bripat9643]

As a proud conservative why do you object to being called a fascist?

Because liberals are fascists. The liberal economic program is identical to the fascist program.

You're wrong. Progressives are not Communists. The definition of neither word is "what Dave doesn't like."

So now you're an economic determinist. Wouldn't that make you a Marxist?
