Methinks it's time to relabel our Liberal colleagues. Calling them Progressives is now invalid. Most of their programs assume that things are or should be static.
This is actually a Reactionary outlook.
Hence, I will now refer to them as Reactionary Liberals.
Silly me and here I was thinking that republicans were reactionary, which means let's go back to the good old days. Some repubs have intimated that blacks were better off on the plantation where they had a strong family unit. Pre abortion, the good old days when republicans could interfere with what a woman does with her own body. (Not that these busybody freedom loving repubs don't still try to do it). Republicans never really liked safety nets such as social security and medicare. The good old days were when people were hardy individuals that either made it or didn't, all on their own without mooching off of others.
This includes marxist programs like social security and medicare. But I'm sure you'd get your head blown off by some trigger happy tea bagger if you tried putting your government hands on their medicare
