Since she was on Glenn Beck and Glenn asked the question about whether he was a “progressive” and we all know what Glenn means by Progressive as far as HIS definition goes!
What is wrong with Glen Beck’s definition of a Progressive?
Historically, a progressive is someone who wants to use government to effect social reforms.
In reality today, I can’t tell you the difference between a socialists and a progressive.
In fact, they have there own caucus, the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This includes such socialist fruitcakes as:
Lynn Woolsey
Sheila Jackson-Lee
Barney Frank
Alcee Hastings
Barbara Lee
Jerold Nadler
Eleanor Holmes-Norton
Charlie Rangel
Maxine Waters
Henry Waxman
Every one of them is a certifiable Fruit Loop socialist tyrant.
Other self-proclaimed progressive whack-job politicians include:
Al Franken
Cynthia McKinney
Kathleen Sebelius
Howard Dean
Al Gore
The thankfully late Ted Kennedy.
Other people calling themselves progressives are:
Arianna Huffington
Ron Reagan
Bill Maher
Keith Olbermann
Rachel Maddow.
Every single one of the people mentioned above is an out and out socialist. So I am baffled what you meant in saying “HIS definition” about Becks correct use of the term “progressive”, at least in regard to modern progressives.
Furthermore, organizations like the George Soros funded “Center for American Progress” run by John Podesta, calls itself a Progressive organization.
I have no clue if Romney is a socialist or just your typical political whore who will do anything for money and votes, but Glenn Beck’s definition is in direct keeping with all of the above people who are proud and honored to call themselves “Progressives”.
None are moderates, they are all out and out socialists, and they are very proud of the fact.
