Palin is a Feminist and a self-proclaimed progressive.

Are you trying to get yourself banned????

But, you are correct.

Not liking Palin is not a ban worthy offense.

[donna] Palin is a Feminist and a self-proclaimed progressive.

Well, there are feminists and there are feminists. Is she a feminist like the Wyoming women who got the vote in the 19th century, or is she a sapphic, man-hating gender-fem, a "Feminazi"? </Rush>

Too, there were "progressives" in the GOP back in 1904: they supported Theodore Roosevelt for re-election. Four years later, they bolted the Party and went Bull Moose.

The "progressive" tag was picked up lying in the street by Stalinists in the 1940's, and it has meant sub-rosa, crypto-Stalinist hardcore types ever since then -- the people who nominated George McGovern and Barack Obama, f'rinstance. (And McGovern himself was a delegate to the "Progressive" convention in 1948 that nominated Henry Wallace, Stalin's man, for President. So what did that make McGovern?)

So is Palin a "progressive" in that sense? I seriously doubt it!
