I'm curious. What part of progress is giving you the most trouble?

@Anonbene Words mean things and in political terms 'progressive' is relative. One's progress is another's loss. Merely calling something by a name doesn't of and by itself mean it is so. To the left, centralizing power, creating dependency and controlling mass communication and education is "progress'.

To those who designed our system and founded it, decentralization of power and checks and balances to keep it from being consolidated in order to prevent tyranny; especially 'tyranny of the majority' (as in failed Democracies) was progress.

We aren't about collectivism and guaranteeing human needs; just guaranteeing the potential for those who wish to personally PROGRESS by protecting their equality under the law and equity of CODIFIED rights to be protected.

Socialists didn't exist then nor did the drug scourge and other addictions. They only lead backwards in history to subjection to overseers; to elites determining distribution; to fanatical ideologies that brook no basic human rights let alone protect them.

Leaders that challenge our system and feed followers their fixes of fantasy and paradise are Judas Goats of the first chop.
