I received an email this morning from a liberal progressive friend in Florida. He's was trying to look down his nose at me in relation to Rick Santorum's response to the gay soldier's question last night during the debate.
His subject line read: "You hang with a classy crowd"
Here was my immediate response to him.
"If that is truly how you're perceiving and assessing that moment, ( and I saw it live when it happened ) then I don't believe you'll ever "get it" and see BEYOND your somewhat superficial progressive view you openly display.
For some reason liberal progressives always seem to thjink that THEIR view is the more ELEVATED, the more PROGRESSIVE, the ONLY acceptable moral high-ground, and the BEST politically correct approach for EVERYONE.
My observations of Progressives always tell me the same thing:
Progressives = our ideas are SUPERIOR.
I've said the following before, but it sure does ring true in terms of the differences between conservatives and liberal progressives.
If a conservative is a non-smoker, he doesn't smoke. He allows others to make their own choice.
If a liberal progressive is a non-smoker, he wants smoking banned for everyone.
It's the misplaced belief that WE, ( "WE" meaning liberal progressives ), KNOW what's BEST for EVERYONE.
The point: Foisting HOW YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE onto EVERYONE ELSE isn't acceptable and very pretentious.
Progressives seem to do that without realizing the superficiality of their position and their thinking.
