This is why I use my blog to bring their history to the surface, to make it easier to find with a simple search.

Progressivism is a specific ideology, but nobody is reading the progressives’ own history, so historical facts get supplanted by modern opinions. When there are no real facts on the table, any topic can be tabula rasa. Look at what the progressives have done to the Founders, first by starting with simply not teaching them anymore.

It does matter what progressivism is, because if there ever came to be enough conservatives who could cite chapter, page, etc., of all the evil things these people have written, today’s progressives would have a very big problem on their hands.

I hadn't thought of it that way.

I certainly appreciate that concept. It shouldn’t be hard to find these things, but you certainly know that “the media” isn’t about to help anyone find the inconvenient truths you are putting together.
