LIBERALS DO! Progressives don't.
No, I do not believe in the same gun restriction that Liberals do... and I'm Pro-Life.
I am a liberal. Liberals care about people, and the individual Rights of those people. Progressives are different. Progressives are about authoritarian government. Everything they support takes power away from the people and gives it to the government. Sadly, the liberal moniker has been applied to progressives but we need to take it back. Being a liberal is not a bad thing. Being a progressive is.
That distinction is nothing but made up bovine excrement. Notice how "progressive" contains the word "progress" That is what it's about. Moving forward. Change for the better. It is no more ...or less...about the size and role of government than is liberalism.
Yes, I see that. It's called "propaganda". The fight for the last 300 years has been to free the people from oppressive government. The fight for you loons is to enslave them yet again. When you all don't get your way you kill everybody you disagree with. Progressives are responsible for more mass murder than all of the killings by all of the religions of the world combined...for all of mankinds history.
What the **** are you blathering about now??!! You can't get off of that oppressive government crap for some reason. There are far more oppressive forces at work that are real, as opposed to your irrational and paranoid fear of government. Progressives kill everybody who stands in our way. ?? That is ******* stupid and irrational and you damned well be better able to back up charges like that. You seem to be infected with the same brain disease as Trump and neither of you are able to learn by your own stupid mistakes.
Do you know anything at all about history? Apparently not:
The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920)
The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism. In other words, they were people who believed that the problems society faced (poverty, violence, greed, racism, class warfare) could best be addressed by providing good education, a safe environment, and an efficient workplace.
Progressives lived mainly in the cities, were college educated, and believed that government could be a tool for change. Social reformers, like Jane Addams, and journalists, like Jacob Riis and Ida Tarbel, were powerful voices for progressivism. They concentrated on exposing the evils of corporate greed, combating fear of immigrants, and urging Americans to think hard about what democracy meant. Other local leaders encouraged Americans to register to vote, fight political corruption, and let the voting public decide how issues should best be addressed (the initiative, the referendum, and the recall).
On a national level, progressivism gained a strong voice in the White House when
Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901. TR believed that strong corporations were good for America, but he also believed that corporate behavior must be watched to ensure that corporate greed did not get out of hand (trust-busting and federal regulation of business). Progressivism ended with
World War I when the horrors of war exposed people's cruelty and many Americans associated President
Woodrow Wilson's use of progressive language ("the war to make the world safe for democracy") with the war.
