Progress towards what?

Post Reply New Topic

I have heard the term "Progressive" used in reference to people with social agendas, a term constantly sought amelioration for by those who seek to label themselves as such, but for them I would ask, "progression towards what goals?" Toward a future in space or rather progress toward some social "utopia"? I would rather have space than some ridiculous social agenda, but "progressives" seem to seek more of the "social progress" than progress towards the colonization of space and space-faring in general. Perhaps some want both, and I could see that, but the social agendas of many "progressives" seem to seek more progress towards eugenics programs and other crap we don't need than toward any useful technological progress.

The problem isn't with the word, it's with the people. Liberals even ruin the words used to describe them...

Sad but true, thing is liberals used to be called progressives until people knew what the "progressives" actually supported. Then to reinvent themselves they called themselves liberals, now people know what "liberals" actually stand for so they try to re-re-invent themselves. Problem for them is that people won't fall for it, because of individuals like Glenn Beck pointing it out.

:roll:

No one needs Glenn Beck to tell em about yet another ridiculous result of their politically correct agenda. Everyone already knows about how much liberals are about that. I know for a fact you like the dude, but now you're giving him way too much credit.

I know he isn't the first one to bring it up, but he managed to get the word out to people.

Well it's obvious to anyone with even the most basic grasp on politics. Hell even people who aren't into politics notice everything these days has a euphemism since it is so culturally prevalent. I don't really think anyone needs a talking head to know we have liberals to thank for this.

There is no such thing as a right-wing monetary policy (at least not if economics is treated a science).

I said nothing about monetary policy anyway; if it were up to me, banks would set their own reserve ratios.

America's cultural core is Anglo-Saxon. The laws, language, and customs are (for the most part) British in origin. America was never culturally informed by the aboriginal population since they had no common culture. They weren't even legal citizens until 1924.

As the demographics change the country will drift away from its British origins. Mexicans don't care about Constitutional law, the War of Independence or the 4th of July. They are cultural interlopers.
