A key term in Marxism-Leninism..
Even the Russians have repudiated that system ~ so how is it the people in Vermont elected him?
Should they continue to be a state?
"the liberals at this conference wanted desperately to avoid the use of the term “liberal,” apparently because of its association with failed domestic, social and foreign policies. They described themselves and their causes as “progressive.”"
If not destroyed, I believe all diseases mutate.
bump....
Just as we succeeded in shifting the connotationof "liberal" from positive to negative, we may need to shiift the meaning of "progress" and "progressive".
In a local example, CBS-WBBM AT ISSUE did a hard hitting investigative feature on the progress of the O'Hare Airport expansion.
The hard hitting questions were such as How does it feel to stand on new cement?
The hard hitting analysis was that the cost overruns are the fault of the opponents of government expansion.
The liberal spokeswoman essentially said that they had hoped to take the private homes, cemetery and small businesses at below market prices. But the government spokeswoman seemed proud that she was still able to acquire property at a compromise price cheaper than the full market price.
This type of everyday acceptance of progress is what is hurting us as much as the national rhetoric.
Gee seem all there "progressive" ideas are really "aggressive-oppressive" ideas ... that nothing new for the left
Let them redefine themselves as "Progressives". It's much easier that way to make the direct connection with Communists - which they are anyway.
(McCarthy was right then, he'd be more right NOW)
Bump for later read
What jumped out at me was Jesse Jackson arguing for "the right to be heard". Where exactly is that outlined in the Constitution? AirHead America had a right to build its broadcast network and spout whatever they pleased. Trouble is, nobody listened. I guess their "right to be heard" comes with a corresponding power to force people to listen. What's most frightening is that they may well get their way.
Im reading a book about the KGB called the "Mitrohkin Archive". When I started reading it, I was struck by how many times I saw Stalin, Lenin, and all the other communist luminaries use the term..
These people are quite clearly insane. Very, very dangerous as well, especially if the democrats manage to place Obama or Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office and maintain majority status in the US Congress. Obama is a danger to us all as he is not experienced in the ways of Washington and already is way to the left of even Clinton. Plus, I'm not too sure that he is not an islamic Trojan Horse.
OTOH, in my view Clinton is a clear and present danger to the USA in terms of Consitutional freedoms, but worse in leaving the muslim problem to "law enforcement". I can easily envision her rescinding rights or declaring martial law following a terror attack within the US, confiscating the weapons citizens will need to defend themselves. She is frightening.
Progressive is a key term in the history of TR. Do not hand any more words over to the opposition. They have no exclusive right to any words.
A good read, thought you all would like it.
Here we go....America is being ruled by the socialist dictators. Maybe we will need to protest this kind of thing.
Bush had better veto that if it gets to his desk.
The first of their means to silence conservatives was the fining of the Swiftbooat Vets and POWs for Truth. $299K for exercising free speech rights.
Leftists are essentially fascists and will use whatever means they can to eliminate the opposition.
