What Is A Progressive? (A Communist, Stupid - Beware Of Hillary Alert)
Worldnetdaily.com ^ | 08/14/2007 | Joseph Farah

That's the way Hillary and her hero Saul Alinsky viewed liberals. It was the same way the Old Left – the Communist Party – viewed liberals.

Hillary quoted Alinsky in her thesis as explaining the difference between a liberal and a radical: "The liberal refuses to fight for the goals he professes."

I'm sure Hillary still sees herself today as a "radical." But she could never use that term and remain a viable politician. So she has adopted another term – "progressive" – which means the same thing to those in the know.

This is the favored term even today of the Communist Party. They don't call themselves liberals, either. They call themselves "progressives." They always have. Nothing has changed.

Its a euphemism - not for a liberal, but for a Communist. When you hear Hillary Clinton describe herself as a "progressive", she's actually the most radical kind of activist. Beware! Nothing about these people has changed and as for the liberals - well, they're just dupes.

I’ve been saying this for years. Glad someone a little more famous with a wider audience finally is telling it like it is.

The only thing that ‘progressives’ like that can actually and honestly be defined as progressive is a progressive income tax whereby they can confiscate the wealth of the producers to give to the non-producers.

Oh, yeah, and that communist Peter Lewis that owns Progressive Insurance.... ‘progressives’ do like him as much as the progressive income tax because he funds all the radical America hating groups as does Soros.

Anyone who uses Progressive Insurance on this forum should be banished. Same with GEICO (Buffett), and Costco.

The question is: what’s so “progressive” about the totalitarian rule, economic ruin, starvation and mass murder that invariably comes with socialism?

“Progressive” is what oncologists call cancer they can’t control

No, I believe its considered "progressive" to view the Constitution as a living document that must be changed to suit the times, you know, eliminate the 1st and 2nd amendment for starters.

Being classicaly liberal is exactly opposite to being so-called progressive .

The only progressive thing about a progressive is the progressive growth of government, and the progressive shrinking of liberty.

The best analogy that comes to mind is

a can of coagulated Communist
wrapped in a label of “Socialist”
wrapped in a label of “Liberal”
wrapped in a label of “Progressive”

peel all the labels off, it’s still the same can.

And the same can be used for any group that changes its label because the previous one comes to be representative of the can that it covers.
