The term ‘progressive’ was coined by communists years ago to define one wing of their party.
“The term progressive returned to the national scene with the 1948 presidential campaign of former vice president Henry Wallace and his Progressive Party, whose name pointedly harkened back to Theodore Roosevelt’s own third-party challenge in 1912. But the raison d’être of this party was a very un-Progressive opposition to any action by, growth of, or support for the American military. The difference was that “the enemy” was now Soviet Russia and this Progressive Party was in fact a creation of the Communist Party and its ranks were filled with Communists and fellow travelers — the Old Left — none of whom had had any problems with the military when it was fighting Stalin’s enemy in Europe. The Communist domination of the party was recognized by many even then, and Wallace left it when he supported Truman’s policy in Korea. But not to be lost was the connection between progressive and a position that reflexively opposed anything to do with the American military but ideologically supported collectivization of the American economy beyond what the “liberals” of the day advocated.”

Progressive is just another word for communist!
They like “progressive”, so I have used that word,
I know this may seem wierd but I won’t buy anything with the word progressive in - nothing. Just in case they are leaning left. I know it’s crazy but I can’t help it.
Mr. Big Stuff, tell me tell me
Who do you think you are
That is so funny. I was thinking of the same song as I was listening to news this AM about obamas response to the smack down.
Populist = Bo Gritz
At least the Dems will have to stop pretending that they aren’t racist.
It’s good, isn’t it, to see us all—short and tall, big and small—enjoying the honeymoon following America’s recent breakup with `Hopey Change’.
It is definitely the case with Progressive Insurance.
Chairman Peter Smith is one of the founders of MoveOn. He continues to be one of the largest Dem donors. He was the finance lead for the 2008 Obama campaign.
Spokeswoman/mascot is attractive in a offbeat way, but I recall seeing an interview with her and she couldn’t refrain from spouting her idiotic (progressive) political opinions.
May preference for a descriptive term is: “progressive regressives.” After all, their ideology, when implemented, takes America back to the Old World ideas described in the 1776 Declaration of Independence.
Ooops! Should have been, “my” preference.
It is definitely the case with Progressive Insurance.
Figures.
They made a deal with the devil (Obama, Jarrett), and now they are paying for it.

Try as they may, the MSM can’t take my “wonderful day in the neighborhood” away from me. I am enjoying the respite resulting from the severe beat down their friends got the other day. At the moment, I feel like “I’m back in the 50’s Tonight” or at least for the moment.
So? There really are two Republican parties as well.
Like hell he did. Corruption is BJ's ONLY game. The radical leftist politics were, and still are, solely from his genteel carpetbagger spouse, Stalin-in-a-pantsuit, dead horse-beater-extraordinaire, the one, the only, whatshername, the braying screwup.
I use “leftist” or when they’re being really obnoxious, go straight to “Communist.”
These people aren’t liberal/tolerant and they sure as hell ain’t for progress or the populace.
The other Democratic Party is progressive. [Snip] They want to win, but it’s a subset of their bigger agenda. Their goal is to transform the country.
In other words, there are those who believe "the beautiful lie" and those who don't. Both see socialism as a way to power because even the "true believers" see themselves doing very well as a reward for their altruism at others' expense.
Covetousness breeds internal dishonesty that then degrades to overt corruption in all of its forms. That's why it's on G_d's top ten list.
I have to disagree with Sultan Knish here. Obama is every bit as corrupt as Clinton, but he's too much of an ideologue to care if he kills the golden goose. To him, the goose is evil.
I don't know if anyone has touched on this, but this administration can't do anything right. Bottom line is that it doesn't matter whether you're in the Boss Hogg or Fabian Utopian wing of the Democrap party, you're not gonna get reelected if you're INCOMPETENT.
Whether it's green energy (Solyndra), the $1T Stimulus that accomplished nothing, Obama's abortive bid for the Chicago Olympics, or the Obamacare website, this administration has presided over one disappointing failure after another.
They've fudged up the employment numbers, but people on the street can see there's little or no improvement in the economy.
Foreign policy is in tatters; Obama is seen as either weak or stupid by most of the world's leaders.
Our space program? I don't think we have one any more. When our latest effort blew up in midair, some wags said it heralded a return to 1956.
The Dems have been criticized for focusing on race, class envy and the War on Women, but what else could they do? They accomplished nothing except raising taxes along with the National Debt.
This doesn't mean that the old party crooks can't be radical too. They're flexible.
Obola presented himself at his presser really as the winner, where the Republicans have to move in his direction. Is this something Frank Marshal Davis, the American Commie taught him?
All that was about was laundering money to cronies they don’t give a s*** if 90 percent of it gets thrown away and the American people have to pay for it. these treasonous bastards are evil incarnate.
