What do you believe a progressive is?
A person that seeks to reform and creates laws on their ideas of morals.
That could be anyone.
Here's mine:
There is no formal defined dogma of the progressive. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Progressives seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Progressivism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Progressives dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Progressivism is a religion. The religious nature of progressivism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.
I didn't know we were doing term papers..Progressivism is a religion yet it also afforded you a forty hour work week..at the same time they made laws that were unenforceable like alcohol and marijuana prohibition. There are very few cultural Marxist in the US but there are millions of christians who are progressives and have no problems wanting big government to enforce it's dogma without any faith in critical thinking(how can you when you believe in something that is not there and never emits a force recognizable to humans.
Never go to a gun fight only carrying a tallywhacker.
There are more cultural marxists here than you think. They don't even know they have been indoctrinated. Four generations have been. Thank you John Dewey.
Yes, many Christians are progressives. But that has always been the case. Progressivism is a reaction.
I don't see a lot of Christians, progressive or otherwise trying to install a theocracy. But people like you do try and put your "religious" morality into laws. So I have a hard time seeing why you would mind it if others did too.
Don't tell me about critical thinking. I've tested all of my beliefs with it. I can't see how you don't believe there is a higher power than man.
