Re: "Progressives" and "Conservatives"

Exactly, Little Paul. tongue

But "progressive" has been abused for more than a century now. The word cannot be un-hijacked now.

You_Fool concluded that, CLEARLY, Progressives the must have "progressive" positions because they hijacked the word and gave it a new definition with a capital "P." It was so stupid that I feared it might not be trolling but ignorance of a previously unimagined magnitude.

I obviously have no problem with using the word "progressive" to mean its original, generic, general meaning. But pretending that "Progressive" necessarily means "progressive" is just idiotic and stupid.

[I wish I could obey forum rules]

attacking dumbass political movements is not personal abuse until you name people

Re: "Progressives" and "Conservatives"

"conservatism" is dead, the GOP is center left and to the left of bill clinton on everything but gun control

Gun Control
Bubba -  ban em based on what they look like
2012 GOP - no ban

That's it.

Abortion
Bubba - safe legal and rare! dont' pay for it at home
2012 GOP - Godawful! Votes to pay for it.

Military
Bubba - shrink it to a display model and use it for waiting tables
2012 GOP - agree to cut 50% of it unless they vote a better cut plan; agree to lose 2 wars; prefer to keep it staggering rather than boost manpower and limit deployment

Taxes
Bubba - tax and spend
2012 GOP - no tax hikes except of course the biggest retroactive tax increase in US history -- meanstesting social security benefits.

Immigration
Bubba - deport! urban sweeps! GTFO!!
2012 GOP - dear dear amigos, please be patient. Un mommentoh porr favorr

Gay marriage
Bubba - oh HELL NO
2012 GOP - oh dear, whaddya gonna do

Gays in the Military
Bubba - not if I catch you
2012 GOP oh dear, whaddya gonna do

Socialized Medicine
Bubba - Of course but not, if you say not
2012 GOP - of course not but yes if you say so

Re: "Progressives" and "Conservatives"

Chris... an epic thread takes a lil... especially if I am at war in a galaxy, driving a hectic schedule, and want to lay it down in epic manner.

You will get your smackdown... trust me... already on 8th paragraph.
