yup, the Progressive title thrown around on the thread is in splatter form.

I call liberals just that and most are liberal fascist.

This current Progressive term is dished out by the huckester Glen Beck who states Democrats and Republicans are both the same.

He he telling us Obama & Pelosi are the same as Palin and
Marine Capt. & Congressman Duncan D. Hunter.

That's interesting ... is Beck a paleocon? A Schumpeter/von Mises kind of guy?

That might explain his rather extreme equation of Pelosi and Palin.

Murray Rothbard, paleocon extraordinaire, once wrote an essay excoriating Wm. F. Buckley for having said that, everything considered, Buckley would rather put up with a large Defense Department, if the alternatives were his own execution or learning Russian at gunpoint. Rothbard didn't like that. Called Bill a "totalitarian". Wonder if that's what we're hearing in Beck?

Sarah Palin called herself a Progressive.

That term has been thrown around by the left a lot longer than Beck and Huckster have been on the national scene.  The left uses it as a means to disguise their true identity.  Progressive, as a word, sounds great, but in reality, it's not.  It's Statism dressed up to appeal to the masses.

And, if you ask me, I see very little difference between Democrats and Republicans these days.

Pelosi said Republicans need to act like Democrats these days (Michael Steele didn't even criticize that remark), and Republicans (including Steele) continue to tell Conservatives (especially those who carry the GOP's message, like Rush, Sean, Levin, Ann Coulter, et. al.) to keep their yaps shut about criticizing Obama and his policies.
