Actor Jon Voight: 'Progressive' is Very Devious Term--Created as Substitute for 'Communist'
CNS News ^ | October 21, 2015 | Mark Judge

There are a lot of conservatives in Hollywood, and they’re not very welcome. It’s a big surprise that we’ve come to this juncture where people with patriotic thoughts could not find a home in Hollywood.

“I think the word ‘progressive’ is a very devious term. It was created as a substitute for ‘communist.' What they propose is the reverse of progress. It’s some that that does taste of communism and Karl Marx’s pernicious philosophy.”

Yes. Leftists (I won’t use the common term “liberal”) are REgressives.
They destroy people and societies in order to mold them into the creatures they want us to be. Debasing and destroying Gods creation at the same time. Truly evil.

Flo is a perfect example of one of the useful idiot Progressives. She’s being used and doesn’t even realize it.

You do understand that the flaming leftist owner of Progressive Insurance named it so, in part to help reintroduce America to the term and to soften its negative impact. Or so I’ve been told.

Voight’s right but approaching it wrong.

The word “liberal” could be made to mean anything.

“Progress”, on the other hand, is a word with a positive meaning.

We need to steal the word and have real conservatives become “progressive conservatives”.

For example, “Those liberal progressives think giving everyone welfare is progress. They’re crazy. Progress conservatives think that getting everyone a good paying job is PROGRESS. Same old liberal thinking. They don’t know going forward from going backward.”

Easy to do. We just appropriate the word.

I think that's why it's important to argue about ideas rather than labels. It's impossible to control what someone chooses as a self-descriptive label. So, it's important to address the ideas that the person espouses rather than attempting to debate the labels.

For example, if a person tells me that he supports Bush or Trump (or anyone) because he is a conservative, I disregard the part about the conservative label because it is meaningless. I respond to the part about the candidate.

So, what difference does it make if Ted Bundy wanted to call himself a conservative and Charles Manson wanted to call himself an environmentalist? The labels aren't the real problem.

Supporting Islamo-Nazis is great, cops are the bad guys, gangstas are the good guys...

But, but, but--they care!!! Don't you know, that makes them good and wonderful and warm and fuzzy, while conservative Republicans who don't care are totally nasty and mean!

When someone uses the term progressive you need to use it as a teachable moment. Instead of telling them what u think about it, ask them what it is that they are advocating we progress on. What is the progression from Freedom and Liberty that they seek? When they cannot answer hopefully the light bulb goes off in there head that it is a disingenuous term co-opted to hide the left’s true intentions.
