PROGRESSIVE?

I�ve notice that Liberalism and liberals have trotted out and dusted off that old word, �progressive� and are applying it to themselves because of the tainted taste that the word �liberal� now leaves in the mouth of the American Public.

Progressive? How? By keeping in place affirmative action programs for 40 years that discriminates against the most qualified applicants?

By quota systems at colleges that don�t care whether or not a student has met the standards set by the academic community that ensures he/she will do well in a rigorous intelletucal environment, just as long as the percentage of those in attendence happens to be the proper shade of non-white... and now, non-asian?

Progressive by demanding that those too lazy to go through the proper proceedures to enter this country be given more rights and entitlements that the actual citizenry, thereby rewarding criminal behavior?

Progressive by re-electing alcoholic Senators who murder campaign workers, or by re-electing other Representatives from the same family that have drug problems? Or maybe you�re progressive by constantly re-electing former Grand Wizards of the Ku Klux Klan?

Progressive, maybe, by returning, decade-after-decade, with the same rhetoric that, in 40 years, only succeeded in creating more poor people that were dependent on the government teat for sustenance than it helped?

Are you as �progressive� as President Reagan�s policies which increased Black middle class from 7% to 19%, making it the fastest growing class segment in 50 years?

Were you progressive in putting together a tax structure that isn�t confiscatory?

Progressive in that these self-same liberals went after the worlds largest corporation which had the most liberal � in the truest sense of the word � benefits plan in the business and honestly shared the wealth with those that helped the company grow, all because their CEO refused to make any corporate or personal donations to any political party, wishing to �stay above the fray?�

I suppose you're progressive by electing a rich, white �feminist� Senator (D-NY) who rose to power in that most �feminist� of manners - on her husbands coat tails rather than by her own accomplishments.

Or perhaps you're deemed "progressive" because you put down a black female from Birmingham, Alabama � who DID rise to a position of power on her own merits, was taught to be proud and shed the �victim� ideology of her culture, became a lawyer, then earned a Doctorate and a professorship in political science � just because she�s conservative?

Possibly you're progressive by all the minorities that the last two presidents from your party have put into their cabinets? (I believe the answer to that is... ONE)

Or maybe you're progressive because you've attacked every minority candidate that this president has put up for high office - because, of course, you care so much about minorities getting into positions of power? Or does "progressive" there mean "We're putting you into power as long as you do as we say?"

Maybe you're progressive by having the leader of your party being a foaming-at-the-mouth, rabidly insane New England millionaire that doesn't make sense when he can manage to put a complete sentence together without loosing enough spit to make the first three rows of attendees look like a Gallagher concert?

And just what DID that aforementioned "progressive" senator from NY do? Earned a bachelors of law� maybe a masters? Then proceeded to use that legal knowledge to scam the investors in Whitewater and at a commodities firm, attempt to take over 1/6th of the U.S. economy, send two of her friends to jail and possibly murdered (or was invovled with the murder of) another? REAL progressive there!)

Or, maybe you thought you were being progressive by trying to elect billionaires to the Presidency and Vice Presidency in 2004 � one who slept his way to wealth and the other that conned juries for the benefit of people that did nothing but suck away our tax dollars?

Let's see, many of the "progressive" Senators and Legislators out there are alcoholic, drug-riddled multi-millioniares, your last party ticket was comprised of billionaires... Oh, yeah� the Republican Party is the party of the wealthy all right!

Progressive? Just another word for �scam businesses and the people until you get yours!�

Progressive?

Hardly!
