Progressives By GB

[Mr.Fitnah]

Yeah they thought they were progressives, too, no doubt.

So does Obama, so did Bush II.

Everybody thinks THEY'RE for progress.

AS THEY define the word to mean, of course.

Stop thinking in labels and start looking hard at what people actually do.

Of course that demands that you pay attention, doesn't it?

And that's hard work studying what people are actually doing. That demands time and thinking things through.

Far easier to label people to hate or love without bothering to actually know the details of what's going on, isn't it?

Sure look at what they want to do , and lets look at what has happened in the past and else-ware now.
It never works , never ever , no mater how much money you throw at the utopia it never works .
You want 100 % taxation?
you want to try that?

Thanks for not gilding the lily

Mr. Fitnah's hero.

Burton W. Folsom Jr. ,Ronald J. Pestritto ,Larry Schweikart? That would be like quoting Himmler on the relocation program to the east as sending the Jews to rest camps. Fitnah, your "experts" aren't. You have to use somebody who has something worthy to say.

Thanks jizz ,
I think Ill let their quotes speak for themselves.

The postings are good thing, Mr. F! I fully congratulate on wanting to share. An informed democracy requires all the viewpoints. Without a doubt, anyone who investigates the individuals above, their agendas, and their evidence, then go through the background will know exactly what the agenda ypu are driving here.

Let's learn a new word today, boys and girls. Can we say "unbalanced"?

Nope, bud, we live in a democratic republic. Terms are necessary before spouting off, little tea pot. Hmmm . . . "tea pot", "tea party", hmmm. Mr. F, do you believe in the US support for Israel?

I really do think that most people still confuse Socialism/Progressivism with Liberalism. This current President is not a Liberal. He is an indoctrinated and trained Marxist or Progressive. Calling him and most Democrats Liberals would be like calling Stalin,Mao,and Castro,Liberals. For instance,no true Liberal could ever support a brutal Dictator like Hugo Chavez. True Liberals stand for individual freedom and liberty. Take a look at all the Hugo Chavez Butt-Sniffers in this country. They are all Democrats for the most part. These Democrats are not Liberals though. They are Socialists/Progressives instead. There is a difference. People just need to know these differences. GB did nail it when he said that the Socialists/Progressives have infested both parties at this point. Hey just my two cents anyway.

The misunderstanding is based on the fact that Progresives, who were destroyed in the election of 1920,

"“In the 1920 election, he and his running-mate, Calvin Coolidge, defeated Democrat and fellow Ohioan James M. Cox, in what was then the largest presidential popular vote landslide in American history since the popular vote tally began to be recorded in 1824: 60.36% to 34.19%.”Warren G. Harding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

relulted in the purposeful switch of names to 'Liberal'

“Finally, Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding. Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term "socialism" to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name. "The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer," Dewey declared, "is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism.” http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_24_61/ai_n45566374/

“DEWEY'S influential 1935 tract, Liberalism and Social Action, should be read in light of this conclusion. In this essay, Dewey purportedly recounts the "history of liberalism." "Liberalism," he suggests, is a social theory defined by a commitment to certain "enduring," fundamental principles, such as liberty and individualism. After defining these principles in the progressives' terms--…” http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_24_61/ai_n45566374/


The 'Classical Liberal' believed in the primacy of the individual over the state, much as modern Conservatives do.

 

[JakeStarkey]

PC's classic mistake is to equate progressivism as liberal and democratic. It was also conservative and republican. Look at Hoover, for instance, who used reform and professionalism as attempts to address the GD. This is a normal error by reactionaries to confuse all of this.
