That's funny to be sure, however I think there is a strong case to be made, that liberals, progressives love all decent American regardless of their political strip - consevatives not so much. Case in point conservatives are more apt, in my opinion, to call liberals, progressives anti-American than the other way around.

He is saying that conservatives like to insult people by calling them un-American when they are disagreeable or use political terms with a dergogatory slant to it. They do that quite a lot and it is a very effective way to demonize their opponents that works quite often.

Another new trick they have is talking about the "European way" of doing things even though the "European way" is the same way Canada essentially does it, their quality of life is better, life expectancy, and by GDP their currency is worth more too. Essentially, demonize everything that isn't American to get a point across (unless one of these socialist countries like UK is agreeable with us on something then forget about it entirely).

I think the biggest tricks the other side has however is using the word neo-con with emphasis on the con part, and saying it in a way that could be associated with "neo-nazi", and talk about how the Republicans want to take stuff away from us rather than actually help us. It works both ways, and seems that whoever is in power the scare tactics typically get louder but this time around it seems as if though it is about 50/50.
 
Progressives are extreme liberals. Normal liberals accept capitalism, but believe government could have a bigger role in America. At least on some issues. Progressives however, think capitalism is evil and that US should be more like Cuba. Sometimes they mention Sweden which is way overrated and not that left-wing. And they must remember that Swedes in America do really well, but in Sweden they do quite badly.

Fascist: No, that's too far even though some of their heroes are quite facist.
Socialist: Most of them are socialist
Communist: No, again too far.
Feminists: No, they are pro-women. They don't care about discrimination.
Pro-Labor: Nope, they are pro-union. The ones who don't agree with them and don't want to join an union are going to be forced to join one. The ones who want to be awarded by merit instead of age, tough luck.
Pro-Civil Liberties: No, progressives are often fighting for censorship, against the second amendment and many of them believe government should seize property.

And progressives are behind most terrible leaders around the world. Like
Mugabe, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Benito Mussolini, Kim Il Sung were all progressives. Even Hitler, read his manifesto.

Oh look someone anonymous hijacked the poll. How predictable.
 
So if progressive aren't really progressive in any way, shape, or form what in the hell are conservatives?

Spawn of the Anti Christ. :mrgreen:
 
No vote again.
I hate those polls in which someone tries to control things.
I may be a progressive, or a socialist, even a communist, this depends on the area.
I am not a signpost.
But I am an emoter and I am opinionated.

yes. the circus midget union is also more likely to refer to NBA players as "tall" than the other way around. there are good reasons why the left is associated with anti-americanism.

Only in the minds of arrogant people who think that only they know what's best for the nation, and only those who believe blind nationalism is the same thing as patriotism.
 
None of the above. Cranial-rectal Inverts is how they're correctly described.

Since the end result of the Progressive agenda is feudalism, the word "Regressive" is also appropriate.

Since most of the people supporting the Progressive elites are the future serfs on the elites' feudal estates, the word "foolish", "ignorant", and "hopelessly lost in their religion" also apply.
 
Well, let's see.

The government stole the remains of General Motors from the bond holders who, by law, were supposed to be paid first, and fired GM's CEO.

The government arbitrarily and without justification halted the drilling of oil in the Gulf, and continues to drag it's feet on new permits in it's misguided efforts to destroy the US via green technology.

That alone makes the Regressive movement fascist.

The Messiah makes no effort to hide his socialism, he just likes to lie about not being one.

Anyone that studies the roots of the baby-murdering movement in the United States is aware of it's roots in the nascent eugenics movement, and it's associated anti-black roots, also. So Regressives are pro-eugenics.

And, assuming the word "Liberal" on the above poll means "closet socialist regressive fascist anti-American pro-eugenics elitist ass class exemplified by the Messiah and the Red Queen", then of course Regressives are "liberal".

Let's put it another way. If a program enhances personal liberty, requires personal accountability, self-reliance, ownership, maturity, reason, or in some other way promotes personal growth into true adulthood and has a chance of improving the United States, the "Progressives" are against it.

Yes, that fits the Progressives...er Regressives perfectly....except the T-Rex was a respectable dinosaur that only killed for food. Regressives kill to promote ideology, and they killed over 100,000,000 people for their ideology in the 20th Century.

A few words before, he was expressing how liberals love all Americans, regardless of political stripe. Then he makes a stupid generalization about conservatives. That is what I'm pointing out

I think that the Scarecrow is not a man but an Internet machine designed to be the very worst of man, in the designer's opinion.
The idea is to see how sane men react to the Scarecrow's insanity.
