The word Progressive means to make progress and to move forward. Obama has changed the term Liberal to Progressive. This doesn't sound like any major change. It is saying the Democrat Party is a group who will progress our Country to move forward. But when Obama makes a move our Country normally looses.
A Progressive used to stand for expanding schools, improve working conditions, building playgrounds, restricting child labor, regulating drug and food companies.
Four amendments were adopted during the true pProgressive era. It provided the people to elect Senators, authorized income tax, gave the vote to women and prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcohol.
This administration has turned the meaning around. Today it means government should control not only all large businesses but the people also. A Progressive today shows a picture of Socialist control where government tells you where you can work, how you will raise your family and what type of media you can listen to.
The reason I say this is look at what this administration is doing to our Constitution. They want to abolish our amendments. They stand for gun control, limiting freedom of speech, the right to dissolve the Tea Party Movement and bring us down to a point we are forced to rely on Big Gov. They are trying to make us believe we can not make a decision on our own, we are too stupid.
Obama has surrounded himself with czars who want to take our country down such as Van Jones (who has stepped down.) He is a self proclaimed Communist. He worked for ten years of his life with people he met in jail and wanted to become a Revolutionary.
Andy Stern is a Left Wing thug and head of SEIU. He is anti-American, anti-business and a Left-Wing Extremist.
Obama has made it clear he stands behind the SEIU.
This is just to name a few of the New Progressives Obama has surrounded himself with.
Beware people, they will indoctrinate our children and rewrite our Constitution. They will spend and tax our Country into ruin. This has already started. Our schools now have the largest drop out rate, manufacturing has almost stopped, we export nothing and our jobless rate is at an all time high. They want to change our textbooks and take out American history. They are brain washing a group of people who don't have the political knowledge to vote on their own. These people who believe the Government will give them everything they want.
We have to educate those who do not understand what True Freedom is all about.
We have to teach them to know who and what they are voting for.
2010 is the year that can stop this Progressive movement from going forward.
I shutter to think, if we can't stop this movement, what our Country could look in another 5 to 10 years.
Vote however you are led, but know what the repercussions could be if we don't stop this movement.

I don't believe I have ever stood against a movement any more than I do this one. Friends I have talked to that are Dems think the term progressive is the greatest thing in the world. They say they will be the people to build a better America for us to live in. I have asked them about socialism but they avoid the question. They don't want to reply about something I don't feel they understand.
ReplyDeleteIt makes you proud to be an Independent and not a Progressive. At least I know that I'm not trying to change this country for the worse. I can see this movement filtering in to every part of our lives. We have to fight and change this.
ReplyDeleteThis is horrifying .......I hope we can stop the nightmare going on.
ReplyDeleteThey are really trying to limit freedom of speech, control the air waves and quash talk radio.
In televised media they are well on the way quashing freedom of speech by controlling the majority of news outlets and entertainment programs in a very progressive way (have ya noticed ?).
In trying to stop Tea Parties they are trying to limit rights to public assembly as well right ? ! ? !
Seems Progressives are well into indoctrinating children with the belief: progressive unity is cool, that individuality is not.
Protect your children from the brainwashing going on. --- One way, home schooling (I've witnessed its’ success). Another way logically seems to be pay very close attention to your kids and spend time at their school so you know exactly what is being taught and said, make sure your influence is the backbone for them.
P. you said it all. This administration must be stopped and soon. The Tea parties are educating people more than the Dems want to realize. We have to get rid of all the radicals in the Senate.
ReplyDeleteThe Progressives in the past stood for a good cause. Today's progressives appear to be more like a controlling party over the people. I can't back any party that stands for socialism or world dominance.
ReplyDeleteThe progressive movement is something I have wondered about for a long time. When you use the word progressive it sounds great, but when you look at the meaning behind it now, it's definitely something to worry about. I do agree with you FF, fear the new progressive.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, I agree get rid of the radical Senate
ReplyDeleteThis new administration has gone crazy. Just let them think they are going to change the Constituiton and take my guns away. My children will be home schooled next year if I have anything to say about it.
ReplyDeleteSome of my friends who are far left Dems have started calling themselves Progressives. I try not to get into the conversation with them that often, it usually doesn't go anywhere anyway. I hope we can stop what they are trying to do, because like many out there, I have grandchildren also.
