What Glen Beck has been talking about. Mostly just big big and bigger government liberals, but worse. The first of the Republican progressives was Teddy Roosevelt.

There is a book called "American Progressivism" on Amazon which describes the deception -- Why you never hear any one say they are a progressive, except Hillary by oops in the last election. The other book Beck is pushing for educational reading "The 5000 Year Leap".

Thanks for the links, and good for you for blogging on it.

Being from the liberal Northeast, I’m used to the smuggest of the liberals proudly cloaking themselves in the ‘progressive’ term, sometimes in an amusing attempt to distance themselves from what they fear is a discredited liberal label. To them, progressive is a more modern, forward-looking, hipper version of liberal that simultaneously is somehow supposed to be less threatening-sounding to moderates, but to real lefties is insider code for something more like Marxist-liberal.
