What is a "Progressive"?

[CrusaderFrank]

On the last flight out of LAX to JFK tonight I watched 5 minutes of MSNBC and heard Ed Shultz and guests describe the "Progressive" solution to US energy (hint: they're against oil but love solar and wind and other things that just don't make economic sense) and I wondered:

What is a 'Progressive'?

What are the central ideas and beliefs that make someone a Progressive rather than a Liberal or a Democrat?

A progressive is a person whose soul mission is to get the world to believe they never existed.


And no, soul is not misspelled. If you think it is, then you don't get the pun....

Three questions, since you watched MSNBC for 5 minutes.......

Is Ed Shultz a progressive?

What is his take on the XL Pipeline?

How bad is your thread failing?

A "progressive" is a liberal that is ashamed to be called "liberal" - it is a disguise (originally) intended to make someone believe that they were something that they weren't - a ruse intended to "slide in" without giving away their intentions.

Back in the 60s and 70s - the term "liberal" became a hated word. These "liberals" changed their names to "hopefully" scam the American people. After all - who WOULDN'T want to be "progressive"?? It took about a week for America to realize that these were the same communist loving "intellectuals" and told them to bugger off.

Liberals, progressives, marxists, communists, et al - all the same.



Basically, gutter trash, limp-wristed clowns that hate America.

I am a liberal and proud of it. You can call us all of the names that you want, it only shows your weakness.

Totalitarian: Believe in Human Utopia that has to be forced upon the dumb masses for their own good. A Utopia that will never exist on Earth... but does in one place...and a place they cannot control.

Love their own liberty at the expense of the liberty of the Dumb masses.

Regressive...you mean like Slavery? Guess what Holmes? THAT was YOUR SIDE...and they're doing it again...just in a different way...except with both parties participating. Welcome to the New Slavery at the behest of Big Government YOU just adore, and can't seem to get along without.

actually you and your cohorts are the ones who display your weakness, ! we conservatives have had the same moniker since day one, whereas you libs have changed your spots so often even your own beloved liarberal press can not keep up.

you say you are proud to be a lib.., WHY ? what does it do for you ? what are the benefits ? being able to vote twice or more ? more money in your welfare/unemployment check ?

i honestly want to know what is so attractive about being a liberal/progressive/commie/socialist/dingbat ??????

i believe a double wide is preferable to a freezer crate under a bridge somewhere, like so many "progressives" occupy.

Not by much.

Either or is a sad commentary on wealth disparity in this country.

But you are pretty much too dumb to realize that.

ooooh !! i realize that.., trust me ! i realize that most libertards are too stupid and lazy to better themselves by getting a job.., any job, just to establish a work ethic, why are the rich folk rich ? i'll give you a stab at it, then i'll give you the real answer.

"Not by much".., ooooh, really, a double wide has heat, electric, plus hot and cold running water, where he can bathe.., something totally foreign to a liberal/progressive..., like yourself. ... ...

 

[rightwinger]

JFK said it best

What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal

If you are living in a double wide, the rich don't care about you, Cleetus.

I'm hoping on some level, you get that.

The rich are rich because we have a system where wealth accumulates in a few hands, and politicians can be bought. If you haven't figured that one out yet, you just aren't very bright, are you.

Have fun in your double wide, man. The possum hunt starts later.

What a dumbass comment (figures). I live in a 4 bedroom 2900 square foot home on 260 acres that I own in Montana and I will bet you a dollar to a donut that the "rich" couldn't care less. I worked for EVERY penny that I used to pay for this home - from working for those "rich" guys. They provided me with a fine living and I am forever grateful for their "richness".

Jesus, you envious bastards. I'll ask the same question that I ask of any other idiot that hates the rich - if YOU have a job (I am supposing that you live off Uncle Sugar) but IF you have a job tell me this (and be truthful): Do you work for a poor person? Do you work for some bum that lives under a bridge? Was the person who hired you on food stamps? Does he pay you in Food Stamps? -OR- Does he pay you from the profits of the company that HE invested in, used HIS money to start?

You might consider these things before you continually bit the hand that feeds you.

Now, head back to your refrigerator box - it's cold as hell outside!
