President Obama told a Hollywood fundraiser Monday night that he and congressional Democrats have passed the most progressive legislation in decades.

"We have been able to deliver the most progressive legislative agenda -- one that helps working families -- not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three," Obama said.

It is the truth.

It’s an amazing victory for the hard left.

They are toasting with champagne behind the scenes.

Now, you and yours get to pay for it.

Obama is a communist, not a socialist, BTW.

The “Working Families” Party in NY is synonymous with ACORN.

He and people like him see the fact that the “vast majority” oppose their agenda as an affirmation of their own superiority of vision and wisdom.

Of course the benighted masses would oppose the agenda of the enlightened few.

Seeing as how we are in the season of county and state fairs, I would propose that Hollywood is populated with basically the same people who work the midway sideshows except there’s more money involved.

“”We have been able to deliver the most progressive legislative agenda — one that helps working families — not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three,”

....this reminds me of LBJ’s famous remark after he got a bunch of Great Society legislation passed:

“I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democrat for the next 50 years”

“Progressive” now, as it was in the Wilson era, is nothing other than FASCISM.

The “Progressives” of the Wilson era became the “liberals” of yesterday because people began to tightly associate the fascist agenda with the word “progressive”. Then when the same association became strong with the word “liberal”, they are becoming “progressive” again.

Communism in the White House would do/appear as Facism does, but it is still communism.

Florida, California, Washington state,Massachusetts, New York, the plane hardly sets down before he is off again.

It costs us $500,000 dollars for him to go to California to collect $300,000 for his favorite politicians. It would be cheaper and less wear and tear on the plane to just send them a check.

This guy flies around the world like I go to the grocery store. Must be great to have someone else buying the gas.

What is your understanding of the difference?

I see their current MO as more fascist than communist -
under communism, industry and resources are owned by the state.
Under fascism, industry and resources may be privately owned, but they cannot be operated or used without the express permission of the state.

The latter is closer to what we have.
The former is closer to Chavez.

The auto companies may be a gray area between the two,
but they still control them more than own them.

Either way, we’re kind of arguing about the number of angels on the head of a pin.

The left is all about FORCED COLLECTIVISM. This term encompasses both fascism and communism, and is anathema to the way humans were created to live.

I’m using almost three years of research into his past and his connections to domestic and foreign communist organizations.

He’s a communist. I am 100% certain of it.

Remember, he’s a communist up to eyeballs in a country/system designed from the ground up to confound people just like him. He can’t do what we think a communist would do—not overtly anyway.

...he {hussein} and congressional Democrats have passed the most progressive legislation in decades.

Which is precisely why America, and our freedoms, are going down the toilet. It is also exactly why the socialist Democrats have to be utterly swept from power in the next two election cycles. Send a message America: This is America, and we will not be ruled-over by a bunch of socialist elitists. We value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
