What is a "Progressive"?

[Derideo_Te]

Then you like elitism.

It is hypocritical to the max to say that only the elitists that you like should rule.

.

we are all elitists you damn fool.

Speak for yourself.

I am an individualist - I do not want you or yours telling me what to do, nor will I tell you and yours what to do.

.

Calling yourself an "individualist" is elitist!

I am an individualist - I do not want you or yours telling me what to do, nor will I tell you and yours what to do.

Isn't it ODD that they are the ones that say that Conservatives are telling others how to live their lives...but support the ones in power actually doing what they accuse? They project themselves well, don't they?

yes, indeed , from their standpoint elitism is objectionable ONLY when the wrong folks are tyrannizing.

[MENTION=19448]CrusaderFrank[/MENTION]

The Progressive Movement began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in cities with settlement workers and reformers who were interested in helping those facing harsh conditions at home and at work. The reformers spoke out about the need for laws regulating tenement housing and child labor. They also called for better working conditions for women.[11] It also caused the development to progressive education.

Political parties such as the Progressive Party were organized at the start of the 20th century, and progressivism was embraced in the administrations of American presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson"

Progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hmmm, the ones who advocated Socialism and Soviet Central Planning are "Progressives"

Cute, but this particular wiki is not exactly good, and it is most definitely not the last word or even worthy of much criticism, flawed as it is.

Lots of Republicans were and are progressives

So, use your own words

Progressive Republicans

During the 1910s and 1920s, progressives formed a faction in the Republican Party. They typically held center-left views on most issues, supporting broad government involvement in business, particularly breaking 'trusts' and limiting the size of corporations, reforms in government, income taxes, universal health care, and other forms of 'social justice'. This faction gradually shrank, with many joining the Democratic Party as it shifted to the left. Prominent progressive Republicans included Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson, and Robert La Follette.

Factions in the Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Progressive Party of 1912 was an American political party. It was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt, after a split in the Republican Party between him and President William Howard Taft.

The party also became known as the Bull Moose Party after journalists quoted Roosevelt saying "I'm feeling like a bull moose" shortly after the new party was formed.[1]

[Nosmo King]

"Eliteist" "Scum" "Evil". These are buzz words that keep bubbling up to the surface of the argument against political Progressivism. Why are these hot button terms used? Why is there an underlying hatred for Progressive politics? Why would someone see the results of Progressive policies with such vitriol? Once the results are examined honestly, would anyone call for the elimination of those policies and call it fair, beneficial and liberating?

Would someone say that there should be American citizens seen as second class Americans? Would anyone want to see explicit discrimination, repression and exploitation of our fellow citizens?

Is there a reason for such animus? Such is the position of those who have enjoyed an advantage through repression. Have you ever noticed that whenever a repressed group, Women, minorities, homosexuals, finally speak up and demand the equality they deserve, those enjoying the advantage borne by repression always say "They want 'special' rights!".

Special rights? Hardly. They want the same rights as any other American. Asking for them is seen as rabble rousing and an uppity attitude. Repression results in demands for egalitarianism, something the repressing class sees as a vice rather than a virtue.

Perhaps the repressive class has painted themselves into an awkward corner. Perhaps the idea of equality is something they fear. Perhaps it's real competition for egalitarianism the repressive classes fear most. Ironic because the bedrock of their beliefs lays in the notion of healthy competition will provide the greatest good for the individual. They understand this from exploiting individuals and reaping the rewards they deny.

Progressives use FASCISM - the police powers of the state - to enforce their dogma.

The "liberal" elitists do it in the name of the fatherland and the "conservatives" do it in the name of a god.

Either way the power is centralized in DC which is used to tyrannize and enslave.

Fascists always know that individualists are never irrelevant. They are the ones that start revolutions , and are armed to their teeth. We never roll over and play dead.

Is taxation now Fascism? Is the call for equal rights for all Americans become a tenet of Fascism?

We fought a war against Fascism in the middle of the twentieth century. Everyone but the conscientious objector and the Amish pitched in to defeat Fascism. It appears you are diluting Fascism because it sounds scary to oppose a political ideology that is embraced by not only those who actually fought Fascists, but their direct descendants as well. Not an unsubstantial percentage of the voting electorate.

Perhaps you should reassess what you heard on Glenn Beck and use the true definition of Fascist.
