I don’t. Leftists are the Progressives.
I wonder if 60 years from now and Ms. Hannah Kohn is watching her sons and daughters facing Sharia law and the non-muslims are being hauled away she will look back and say “We said Never Again, and acted on what our hearts felt freedom looked like. Now I realize how all those people that thought Hitler was the greatest thing to happen to Germany felt once they realized what was really happening.”
I don’t. Leftists are the Progressives.

Yes, except Leftists want to be called Progressives.
that is their new flip to the language, resurrecting an old term that sounds so forward....
But using their name Leftists, is using conservative language and definitions. And Leftists just sounds so left and stupid.
Leftists.
You have lectured me on this before. I haven’t changed my mind since then. I don’t agree with you at all and I’m not going to let you control my language.

Don’t mean to lecture and had not realized we had the conversation before.
You can let the Left control your language, not my problem.
I’m not letting them or you control my language. They don’t like being called Progressives. It’s not a “new flip,” I first heard libs using the term in the early ‘80s. IMO you’re the one who is letting the libs use you. If you don’t identify your enemy correctly they get to duck and weave on semantics. Just like calling muslims “radical muslims.” It’s a wonderful misdirection for them that they get you to implement for them.
To be as blunt as a butter knife, I don’t care.
To be even blunter, ask the most recent victims of rioting and looting in Ferguson and Chicago if they’d have welcomed the sight of a legion of ‘white supremacists’ suddenly thundering down the street and sending every thieving ghetto rat running for his mama and a fresh pair of underpants the instant it got through their puny brains that they were the real deal...
...or if they’d rather have the riots and near-useless police.
I used to be a progressive and a radical one at that, and in the eighties we could not get the press and the right wingers to use the term progressive.
We had magazines like The Progressive and the Nation which used the term all the time. But now with good press the term is the now the kinder gentler term for Leftist.
Do what you want.
Even the KKK, sorry as it is, understands the dangers of millions of illegals and free access for Muslims....
Too bad some folks here don't seem to be able to discern the difference between a piece of crap organization having a few beads of sense and liking those thoughts in a candidate and having the candidate agree with the piece of crap organization...
And you’re still trying to control people. Old habits are hard to break.
