The misunderstanding is not your fault. It’s the fault of the cultural marxists who have turned language upside down.
Leftists call themselves “progressive” in the very same way a criminal insists he didn’t do the crime.
The assumption behind the word progressive is that it means progressing in a forward direction, in the direction of improvement.
But leftists “progress” in a backwards direction, from liberty back to tyranny or from freedom back to oppression.
Palin is only reclaiming the use of the English language. Palin is using the word progressive in the real way, not in the way the political correctionists use it. As always, she’s several moves ahead of the marxists.
Woodrow Wilson was President from 1902–1910. How far back do you want to go for Palin?
“All that progressives ask or desire is permission—in an era when development, evolution, is a scientific word—to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian principle; all they ask is recognition of the fact that a nation is a living thing and not a machine.”
