So, Cons are responsible for all of that. Progressives are responsible for the murder of over 200 million people. Based on those facts I would say Cons are way the hell better than progressives. What's your response to that little progressive?
Without false premises, distortions and lies, what would the right wingers have? No those totalitarian states, WERE NOT PROGRESSIVE IN ANY WAY... Keep trying Bubba
Sure they weren't.... A progressive master class for you...
- H. G. Wells, one of the most influential progressives of the 20th century, said in 1932 that progressives must become âliberal fascistsâ and âenlightened Nazis.â Regarding totalitarianism, he stated: âI have never been able to escape altogether from its relentless logic.â Calling for a ââPhoenix Rebirthâ of Liberalismâ under the umbrella of âLiberal Fascism,â Wells said: âI am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis.â
- The poet Wallace Stevens pronounced himself âpro-Mussolini personally.â
- The eminent historian Charles Beard wrote of Mussoliniâs efforts: âBeyond question, an amazing experiment is being made [in Italy], an experiment in reconciling individualism and socialism.â
- Muckraking journalists almost universally admired Mussolini. Lincoln Steffens, for one, said that Italian fascism made Western democracy, by comparison, look like a system run by âpetty persons with petty purposes.â Mussolini, Steffens proclaimed reverently, had been âformedâ by God âout of the rib of Italy.â
- McClureâs Magazine founder Samuel McClure, an important figure in the muckraking movement, described Italian fascism as âa great step forward and the first new ideal in government since the founding of the American Republic.â
- After having vistited Italy and interviewed Mussolini in 1926, the American humorist Will Rogers, who was informally dubbed âAmbassador-at-Large of the United Statesâ by the National Press Club, said of the fascist dictator: âIâm pretty high on that bird.â âDictator form of government is the greatest form of government,â Rogers wrote, âthat is, if you have the right dictator.â
- Reporter Ida Tarbell was deeply impressed by Mussolini's attitudes regarding labor, affectionately dubbing him âa despot with a dimple.â
- NAACP co-founder W. E. B. DuBois saw National Socialism as a worthy model for economic organization. The establishment of the Nazi dictatorship in Germany, he wrote, had been âabsolutely necessary to get the state in order.â In 1937 DuBois stated: âthere is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.â
- FDR adviser Rexford Guy Tugwell said of Italian fascism: âIt's the cleanest, neatest, most efficiently operating piece of social machinery I've ever seen. It makes me envious.â
- New Republic editor George Soule, who avidly supported FDR, noted approvingly that the Roosevelt administration was âtrying out the economics of fascism.â
"Because progressivism embraces the ideal of nationalism and touts the so-called âThird Wayâ between capitalism and communism, its pedigree is closer to fascism than to communism. Progressivism and fascism share the totalitarian belief that with the proper amount of tinkering, social engineers will be able to realize the utopian dream of establishing a nation where perfect equality reigns. This mindset accounts for the support that the early progressives gave to eugenics, whose ultimate aim was the creation of a pure race, a âNew Manâ â not unlike the Nazi âAryanâ ideal. Such a project, of course, could only be overseen and carried out by a wise and omniscient leadership, an intellectual elite endowed with judgment superior to that of the unwashed masses."
- Playwright George Bernard Shaw hailed Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini as the worldâs great âprogressiveâ leaders because they âdid things,â unlike the leaders of those âputrefying corpsesâ called parliamentary democracies.

Humorous at least Bubba, IF NOT HONEST
So, other than a off topic flame on me, you've got no response. Is that what you're admitting "dad"?
