Progressives

When most of us hear the term "progressive", what comes to mind? Most would probably agree, that the term or word would have a POSITIVE meaning. When it is used in the political specrtum, the term is, at least in my view, scary. I say this due to the fact that when one looks back at our history in the last 70-80 years, alot of the worlds issues/problems have come from this movement. If you, the reader, do not understand who, what, when, where and why, I suggest one should READ history. The very people that have CLAIMED to be progressive, have IN FACT "degressed" rights on human beings. This holds especially true here in the United States. Most people that I have had conversations with, whether they were Democrat , Republican, Libertarian etc., agree on the simple premise that our Constitutional Rights have all but disappeared. Mind you, these people are not politicians that I have spoken to. They are everyday citizens that usually get their information from the "lamestream" SPUN media. Democrats and Republicans alike, have essentially "adopted" the progressive ideals, to understand what I'm conveying to you, just take a peak at what your current "rights" REALLY stand for. I have written on this subject already entitled "Rights". There is no doubt or debate that we as human beings are "progressing", I just feel it is important to understand the difference between "progressing" and the "progressive" movement. They are COMPLETELY different and the hysterical idea that this "movement" is spun and sold to us as being "good", or "positive" is simply FALSE. Read history, you will SEE exactly who the "progressives" are in their quotes and the agendas proposed and the agendas that were executed! Remember, people like Hitler, who also claimed the term "progressive", was not a "good" person, with a positive agenda. For him, it probably was, probably because he himself believed it(sarcasm). The FOUNDING father's of the Federal Reserve Bank and authors of the 16th and 17th Amendments were...that's right, "Progressives"! My point, in closing, if you are going to "label" yourself a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian etc., It would probably be a good idea to research what the CURRENT fundementals are as opposed to what the FOUNDING fundementals were of that particular "label", they are different. Especially when you look at the 2 biggest political parties. Remember, "what is supposed to be" VS. "what is" are completely different. FREE your mind and your ass will FOLLOW!! :)
