Quote:I think you might have myopia... I know you want to keep that word for your own movement. :)Psychic powers? I've never liked the term "progressive". It's one I grudgingly use to describe a certain segment of American Liberalism, but I wouldn't generally use it to describe myself.
I also don't have a movement.
Quote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism...e_United_StatesIs this some magic link that takes you to a different article than it does for me? Because otherwise, I'm at a loss. George W. Bush is in the same political tent as Ariana Huffington? Richard Nixon with Ralph Nader? John McCain with Howard Zinn? (Dennis Kucinich? Upton Sinclair? Jim Hightower? Noam friggin' Chomsky?)
Like I said before. Is this a joke?
I mean, they give a list of issues in the article. Take a look:
Quote:Modern issues for progressives can include: electoral reform (including instant runoff voting, proportional representation and fusion candidates), environmental conservation, pollution control and environmentalism, same-sex marriage, easy access to abortion, universal health care, abolition of the death penalty, affordable housing, a viable Social Security System, renewable energy, smart growth urban development, a living wage and pro-union policies, among many others.Is there *anything* on that list that Dubya believed in? Or Richard Nixon, for that matter?
